Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models
as well as standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to systems and functions rel-
evant to safety.
Read the information on qualified specialist
workshops (Y page
32).Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
! Have work carried out on the engine elec-
tronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors, actuating compo-
nents and fuel lines, only at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Vehicle components may
otherwise wear more quickly. This can lead
to the loss of the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty. Installing electrical or electronic
equipment
You and others can suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation. By
using an exterior antenna, a possible health
risk caused by electromagnetic fields, as dis-
cussed in scientific circles, is taken into
account. Only have the exterior antenna instal-
led by a qualified specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effect on both the comfort and the
operating safety of the vehicle. If equipment of
this kind is installed, its electromagnetic com-
patibility must be checked and verified.
If these devices are linked to functions associ-
ated with resistance to interference, they must
have type approval. This applies to the device
or its interfaces to the vehicle electronics, e.g.
charging brackets.
A telephone or two-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. You can obtain
further information from any Mercedes-Benz
Commercial Van Center. For operation of mobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes-Benz recommends connec-
tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is
the only way to ensure optimum reception
quality inside the vehicle and to minimize
mutual interference between the vehicle elec-
tronics, mobile phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone
or two-way radio may not exceed the following
maximum transmission output (PEAK): Frequency range Maximum trans-
mission output
(PEAK)
Shortwave
(f < 50 MHz

) 100 W
