Safety requirements
Specialist knowledge is required for serv-
ice and repair work to the air conditioning.
For this reason, such work should only be
carried out by a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Tyres
Risk of accident
G
Tyres age from the influence of sunlight and
the environment. The rubber of the tyre
gradually loses its elasticity. Tyres become
harder and more brittle and they begin to
split through age.
Tyres more than six years old are no longer
safe for use.
Replace the tyres, irrespective of wear, after
six years at the latest. This also applies to
the spare wheel.
Checking the age of tyres ( page 390).
Air conditioning
Risk of injury
G
Leaking refrigerant from the air conditioning
can cause frostbite. Avoid all contact with
refrigerant. If refrigerant comes into contact
with the skin, consult a doctor immediately.
!
If the air conditioning is damaged in an
accident, do not switch the system on.
This could result in damage to the air
conditioning system.
Have the air conditioning system
checked.
The maintenance work should always
be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
DaimlerChrysler recommends that you
visit a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
as it has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools for the work re-
quired. For work relevant to safety and
work on safety-related systems in par-
ticular, it is essential that maintenance
work is carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
