safety under:
http://www.safercar.gov Possible danger due to substances
hazardous to health
In compliance with Proposition 65 (“Prop65”),
the following detachable label has been added
to each vehicle sold in California: Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its Mercedes-Benz
Commercial Van Center to carry out technical
inspections on certain vehicles. This is always
the case if it is possible to improve quality or
safety levels. Mercedes-Benz can only inform
you about vehicle checks if it has your regis-
tration data.
Your registration data are not available if:
R your vehicle was not purchased at a
Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center
R your vehicle has not yet been inspected at a
Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a
Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center.
Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible
about any change in address or vehicle owner-
ship. Attachments, bodies, equipment and
conversions
Notes on body/equipment mounting
directives !
For safety reasons, have bodies manufac-
tured and installed in accordance with the
valid Mercedes-Benz body/equipment
mounting directives. These body/equipment
mounting directives guarantee that the
chassis and add-on equipment form a cohe-
sive whole and that the highest possible
level of operating and driving safety is
reached.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that:
R no other modifications be made to the
vehicle.
R approval be obtained from Mercedes-
Benz in the event of deviations from
approved body/equipment mounting
directives.
Approval by official testing centers or per-
mission given by authorities do not elimi-
nate safety risks.
Observe the information on genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts
(Y page 34).
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center. G
WARNING
The function of systems or components can
be affected by conversions or modifications
to the vehicle. They might not function prop-
erly anymore and/or jeopardize the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is an
increased risk of an accident and injury.
Conversions or modifications should always
be carried out at qualified specialist work-
shop.
If you intend on making alterations to the vehi-
cle, Mercedes-Benz strongly recommends that
you contact the distributor named on the
inside of the front cover. Here you will obtain
all necessary information (there may be a
charge).
Body manufacturers and dealers who make
any modifications which may affect the final
certification of the engine, vehicle or equip-
ment assume the sole responsibility for the Introduction
