recommend using Genuine Mercedes- Benz Parts as well as conversion parts and accessories explicitly approved by us for your vehicle model. We have tested these parts to determine their reliability, safety and special suitability for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. We are unable to make an assessment for other products and therefore cannot be held responsible for them, even if in individual cases an official approval or authorization by governmental or other agencies should exist. Use of such parts and accessories could adversely affect the safety, performance or reliability of your vehicle. Please do not use them. Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts and pre- approved conversion parts and accessories are available at any authorized Mercedes- Benz Center. In addition, you will receive com- prehensive information on permissible tech- nical modifications and expert installations. 18 Operator’s Manual Notes This Operator’s Manual contains a great deal of useful information.

Ignoring them could result in damage to the vehicle or personal injury to you or others. Vehicle damage caused by fail- ure to follow instructions is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. We continuously strive to improve our prod- uct, and ask for your understanding that we reserve the right to make changes in design and equipment. Therefore, information, illus- trations and descriptions in this Operator’s Manual might differ from your vehicle.
