reconditioned components
Daimler AG offers recycled reconditioned

as new parts. The same entitlement from the
implied warranty is valid as for new parts.

nents and parts from Daimler AG.

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 accessory parts that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and conver‐
sion parts and accessory parts that have been
specifically 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 independ‐
ently 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
A change of the vehicle type from that for
which the vehicle's general operating permit
was granted.
R
If other road users could be endangered.
R
If the exhaust gas or noise levels are
adversely affected.
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) (
