Information on technical data
i The technical data were determined in
accordance with EU Directives. All data apply
to the vehicle's standard equipment. The data may therefore differ for vehicles with optional

Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
! Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors, actuating components
and connector leads, at a qualified specialist
workshop. Vehicle components may other-
wise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated. Fitting two-way radios and mobile
phones (RF transmitters) G
WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi- ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you operate RF transmitters incorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfere with the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not a low-reflection type
This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident. Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating RF transmitters in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R observe the maximum permissible output
in these wavebands.
R only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Observe the notes on operating mobile phones
(Y page 300).
The following aerial positions may be used for
the correct installation of RF transmitters: Approved aerial positions
:
Front roof area
; Rear roof area
= Rear wings
i On vehicles with a panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to the front or rear roof
area is not permitted.
On the rear wings, it is recommended that you
position the aerial on the side of the vehicle
closest to the centre of the road.
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines for installa- 350
Vehicle electronicsTechnical data
tion of aftermarket radio frequency transmitting
equipment") when retrofitting RF transmitters.
Comply with the legal requirements for add-on
parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial con-
nections intended for use with the basic fittings.
Be sure to observe the manufacturer's addi-
tional instructions when installing.
Deviations in respect of wavebands, maximum
transmission outputs or aerial positions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at the base of the aerial must not exceed the followingvalues: Waveband Maximum
transmission output Short wave
3–54 MHz 100 W
4 m waveband
74 - 88 MHz 30 W
2 m waveband
144–174 MHz 50 W
Trunked radio/Tetra
380–460 MHz 10 W
70 cm waveband
400–460 MHz 35 W
Mobile communications
(2G/3G/4G) 10 W
The following can be used in the vehicle without
restrictions:
R RF transmitters with a maximum transmis-
sion output of up to 100 mW
R RF transmitters with transmitter frequencies
in the 380 - 410 MHz waveband and a maxi-
mum transmission output of up to 2 W
(trunked radio/Tetra)
R Mobile phones (2G/3G/4G)
There are no restrictions when positioning the
aerial on the outside of the vehicle for the fol-
lowing wavebands:
