Technical data
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
The “Technical data” section contains all
the necessary technical data for your vehi-
cle. Some of the values given are provi-
sional and are, in some cases, calculated
values. Final values and missing data were
not available when this manual went to
print.
i
The technical data was determined in ac-
cordance with EU Directives. All data applies to
the vehicle’s standard equipment. The data may
therefore differ for vehicles with optional equip-
ment. You can obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You will find information about your vehicle’s
noise levels in the vehicle documentation.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and
conversion parts and accessories which
have been specifically approved for your
vehicle in terms of their reliability, safety
and suitability.
Despite ongoing market research,
Mercedes-Benz is unable to guarantee oth-
er parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts
no responsibility for the use of such parts
in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been independently or officially ap-
proved.
In Germany and other countries, certain
parts are only officially approved for instal-
lation or modification if they comply with
legal requirements. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts meet this require-
ment.
Observe the suitability of replacement
parts for your vehicle. In many countries,
certain parts which result in a modification
to the vehicle could invalidate the vehicle’s
general operating permit. This is the case
if:
앫
they cause a change of the vehicle type
from that for which the vehicle’s gener-
al operating permit was granted
앫
other road users could be endangered
앫
the emission or noise levels are ad-
versely affected
The use of non-approved parts could affect
your vehicle’s operating safety.
Mercedes-Benz therefore recommends
genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and conver-
sion parts and accessories which have
been specifically approved for your vehi-
cle.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and ap-
proved conversion parts and accessories
are available from a Mercedes-Benz Serv-
ice Centre. Here you will receive advice
about technical modifications, and the
parts will be professionally fitted.
Always quote the vehicle identification
number and the engine number when or-
dering genuine parts. You will find these
numbers on the vehicle data card in the
Service Booklet or on your vehicle’s identi-
fication plates (
