Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

Environmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same war-
ranty applies as for new parts.
If you use parts, tyres, wheels or safety-relevant
equipment which has not been approved by
Mercedes-Benz, the operational safety of the
vehicle may be jeopardised. Safety-relevant sys-
tems, e.g. the brake system, may malfunction.
Only use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts
of an equivalent quality standard. Only use
tyres, wheels and accessory parts that are
approved for your type of vehicle.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and conversion
parts and accessories that have been approved
for your vehicle are tested by Mercedes-Benz
for:
R
reliability
R
safety
R
suitability
Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-
Benz accepts no responsibility for the use of
such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if
they have been independently or officially
approved.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if they
comply with legal requirements. This also
applies to some other countries. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval
requirements. The use of non-approved parts
may invalidate the vehicle's general operating
permit.
This is the case if:
R
it results in a change to the vehicle type from
that for which the vehicle's general operating
permit was granted
R
they pose a possible risk for road users
R
they adversely affect the emission or noise
levels
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) (

Mercedes-Benz parts.
QR codes for rescue card
The QR code stickers are affixed in the fuel filler
flap and on the right-hand B-pillar.
In the event of an accident, rescue services can
use the QR code to quickly determine the cor-
responding rescue card for your vehicle. The
current rescue card contains, in compact form,
the most important information about your vehi-
cle e.g. the routing of electric cables.
Further information can be found under http://
portal.aftersales.i.daimler.com.
Data stored in the vehicle
A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:
R
the vehicle's operating status
R
events
R
malfunctions
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
This includes, for example:
R
operating conditions of system components,
e.g. fluid levels.
R
the vehicle's status messages and those of its
individual components, e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in move-
ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal
position.
R
malfunctions and defects in important system
components, e.g. lights, brakes.
R
the vehicle's reactions and operating sta-
tuses in special driving situations. e.g. airbag
deployment, intervention of stability control
systems.
R
ambient conditions, e.g. outside tempera-
ture.
This data is exclusively technical in nature and
can be used to:
R
assist in the detection and rectification of
faults and defects
R
analyse vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci-
dent
R
optimise vehicle functions
