Risk of accident and injury
Always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. There is a
risk of an accident and injury if this work is
carried out incorrectly.
