Operating safety
20
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software
could cause them to cease functioning.
Because the vehicle’s electronic
components are interconnected, any
modifications made may produce an
undesired effect on other systems.
Electronic malfunctions could seriously
impair the operating safety of your vehicle.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center for repairs or modifications to
electronic components.
Other improper work or modifications on
the vehicle could also have a negative
impact on the operating safety of the
vehicle.
Some safety systems only function while
the engine is running. You should therefore
never turn off the engine while driving.
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody
or tires/wheels may cause serious damage
and impair the operating safety of your
vehicle. Such blows can be caused, for
example, by running over an obstacle, road
debris or a pothole. If you feel a sudden
significant vibration or ride disturbance, or
you suspect that damage to your vehicle as
occurred:
R
turn on your hazard warning flashers
R
slow down carefully
R
drive with caution to an area which is a
safe distance from the road
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the
nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
or other qualified maintenance or repair
facility for further inspection or repairs.
Proper use of the vehicle
Proper use of the vehicle requires that you are
familiar with the following information and
rules:
R
the safety precautions in this manual
R
the “Technical data” section in this manual
R
traffic rules and regulations
R
motor vehicle laws and safety standards
Various warning labels are attached to your
vehicle. These warning labels are intended
to make you and others aware of various
risks. Do not remove any of these warning
labels unless explicitly instructed to do so
by information on the label itself. Removing
warning labels may cause you and others
to be unaware of certain risks which may
result in an accident and/or personal
injury.
