Introduction
Operating safety
Operating safety
G
Risk of accident
If work on electronic equipment and its soft-
ware is carried out incorrectly, this equip-
ment could stop functioning. The electronic
systems are networked via interfaces. Tam-
pering with these electronic systems could
cause malfunctions in systems which have
not been modified. Such malfunctions can
seriously jeopardise the car’s operating
safety and hence your own safety.
Other work or modifications incorrectly car-
ried out on the vehicle could also jeopardise
operating safety.
Some safety systems only function when
the engine is running. Therefore, do not
switch off the engine when driving.
G
Risk of accident
Always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
G
Risk of accident
A heavy impact to the vehicle underbody,
tyres or wheels (e.g. bottoming out in rough
terrain or when driving over an obstacle at
high speed) can damage the vehicle. This
also applies to vehicles which are equipped
with underbody protection.
In such cases, have your vehicle checked
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
