Checking anticorrosion protection
The cab is fitted as standard with body cav-
ity protection and underbody protection.
Frequently examine the vehicle for
signs of corrosion damage. Pay partic-
ular attention to
compressed-air lines
hydraulic lines.
As a precautionary measure, spray the
underside of the vehicle with a wax-
based protective agent.
Repair any damage to the anti-
corrosion protection provided by
the works.
Risk of injury
G
Replace the following items
seat belts
belt tensioners
airbags
if these have been subjected to a load in an
accident. These systems, particularly seat
belt anchorages, should be checked and re-
placed if necessary if they have been sub-
jected to a load or damaged in an accident.
The maintenance work should always be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
DaimlerChrysler recommends that you visit
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre as it has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools for the work required. For work rele-
vant to safety and work on safety-related
systems in particular, it is essential that
maintenance work is carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
!
Note that road salt has a corrosive ef-
fect. In the winter, wash the vehicle
more frequently in order to remove salt
residue.
i
No anti-corrosion protection is neces-
sary for the transmission housing.
Changes in the colour of the transmis-
sion casing do not limit the operation or
durability of the transmission.
