Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!Have the engine electronics and associ-ated parts, such as control units, sensors,actuating components or electric cablesserviced only at a qualified specialist work-shop. Vehicle components may otherwisewear more quickly and the vehicle's operat-ing permit may be invalidated.
Installing two-way radios and mobile
phones (RF transmitters)
GWARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from two-way
radios can interfere with the vehicle elec-
tronics if two-way radios are manipulated or
retrofitted incorrectly. This could jeopardize
the operating 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
qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you incorrectly operate two-way radios in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
may interfere with the vehicle electronics,
for example if:
Rthe two-way radio is not connected to an
exterior antenna
Rthe exterior antenna is not correctly
mounted or is not low-reflection
This could jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior antenna
installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Always connect two-way radios to the low-
reflection exterior antenna when operating
in the vehicle.
!The operating permit may be invalidated ifthe instructions for installation and use oftwo-way radios are not observed.
In particular, the following requirementsmust be complied with:
Ronly approved wavebands may be used
Robserve the maximum permissible outputin these wavebands
Ronly approved antenna positions may beused
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiationmay cause damage to your health and thehealth of others. Using an exterior antennatakes into account current scientific discus-sions relating to the possible health hazardsthat may result from electromagnetic fields.
The following antenna positions may be used ifRF transmitters have been properly installed:
Approved antenna positions
CRear fenders
iOn the rear fenders, it is recommended toinstall the antenna on the side of the vehicleclosest to the center of the road.
Use the Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609when retrofitting RF transmitters (Road Vehi-cles - EMC guidelines for installation of after-market radio frequency transmitting equip-ment). Observe the legal requirements foraccessory parts.
If your vehicle has installations for two-wayradio equipment, use the power supply orantenna connections intended for use with the

Deviations with respect to frequency bands,maximum transmission outputs or antennapositions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) atthe base of the antenna must not exceed thefollowing values:
Frequency bandMaximumtransmissionoutput

The following can be used in the vehicle with-out restrictions:
RRF transmitters with a maximum transmis-sion output of up to 100 mW
RRF transmitters with transmitter frequenciesin the 380 - 410 MHz waveband and a maxi-mum transmission output of up to 2 W(trunked radio/Tetra)
RMobile phones (2G/3G/4G)
There is no restriction for antenna positions onthe outside of the vehicle for the following fre-quency bands:
RTrunked radio system/Tetra
R70 cm waveband
R2G/3G/4G
