Operating safety and vehicle approval
Information on vehicle operation
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R
the vehicle makes contact with the ground,
e.g. on a high kerb or a loose road surface
R
you drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g. a
kerb or a pothole
R
a heavy object hits the underbody or chassis
components
In these or similar situations, the vehicle body/
frame, the underbody, chassis components,
wheels or tyres could be damaged even if this is
not visible from the outside. Components that
have been damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail or no longer be able to assimilate the
loads occurring in the event of an accident. If the
underbody panelling is damaged, flammable
material, such as leaves, grass or twigs, could
collect between the underbody and underbody
panelling. These materials could ignite if they
remain in contact with hot components of the
exhaust system for an extended period.
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired immedi-
ately at a qualified specialist workshop. If you
become aware when continuing the journey that
driving safety has been effected, stop as soon as
possible in accordance with the traffic condi-
tions. In such cases, consult a qualified special-
ist workshop.
Declaration of conformity
Radio-based vehicle components
The following note applies to all radio-based
components of the vehicle and the information
systems and communication devices integrated
in the vehicle:
The components of the vehicle which receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with
the basic requirements and all other relevant
regulations stipulated by Directive 1999/5/EC.
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended for
the connection of diagnostic equipment at a
qualified specialist workshop.
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it can affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. This may
affect the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle.
Changing the engine power output
!
Increased power could:
R
change emission levels
R
cause malfunctions
R
lead to consequential damage
The operating safety of the engine cannot be
guaranteed in all situations.
Any tampering with the engine management
system in order to increase the engine power
output will lead to the loss of warranty entitle-
ments.
If the vehicle's engine power output is
increased:
R
tyres, suspension, braking and engine cooling
systems must be adapted to the increased
engine power output.
R
have the vehicle recertified.
R
report changes in power output to the vehicle
insurers.
This will otherwise lead to the invalidation of the
vehicle’s general operating permit and its insur-
ance cover.
