been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-relevant
systems (e.g. the brake system) may malfunction.

equal quality. Only use tires, wheels and acces-
sory parts that have been specifically approved
for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts are subject to strict
quality inspections. Each part has been specially
developed, manufactured or selected for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and adapted to them.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts
should be used.

uineParts are available for Mercedes-Benz mod-
els.
All authorized Mercedes-Benz Service Centers
maintain a supply of Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts
for necessary service and repair work. In addition,
strategically located parts delivery centers pro-
vide for quick and reliable parts service.
