from the implied warranty is valid as for new

You could jeopardise the operating safety of your
vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well
as accessories relevant to safety which have not
been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-rele‐
vant systems, e.g. the brake system, may mal‐
function. Only use Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts
or parts of equal quality. Only use tyres, wheels
and accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conver‐
sion parts and accessories that have been spe‐
cifically approved for your vehicle model for their
reliability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing
market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to
assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been officially approved or independently
approved by a testing centre.
Certain parts are only officially approved for
installation or modification if they comply with
legal requirements. All Mercedes-Benz Genuine‐
Parts meet the approval requirements. The use
of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehi‐
cle's general operating permit.
This is the case in the following situations:
R
the vehicle type is different from that for
which the vehicle's general operating permit
was granted.
R
other road users could be endangered.
R
the exhaust gas or noise level gets worse.
