Service and Warranty
11
Other Exclusions
Your limited warranties do not cover the
costs of repairing damage or conditions
caused by any of the following:
• fire or accident;
• abuse or negligence;
• misuse - for example, driving over curbs
or overloading;
• tampering with the emission systems, or
with a part that could affect the emission
systems;
• use of used parts, even if they were orig-
inally supplied by the parts distributor
(however, authorized Genuine Mer-
cedes-Benz remanufactured parts are
covered);
• windshield or rear window damage from
external objects;
• off-road use of the vehicle;
• any changes made to your vehicle that
do not comply with the vehicle's specifi-
cations; or
• using any fluid that does not meet the
minimum recommendations in your Op-
erator's Manual.
Total Loss, Salvage, Junk, or Scrap Ve-
hicles Not Covered
A vehicle has no warranty coverage of any
kind if:
• the vehicle is declared to be a total loss
by an insurance company;
• the vehicle is rebuilt after being declared
to be a total loss by an insurance
company; or
• the vehicle is issued a certificate of title
indicating that it is designated as “sal-
vage,” “junk,” “rebuilt,” “scrap,” or
some similar word.
The vehicle warrantor will deny warranty
coverage without notice if it learns that a
vehicle is ineligible for coverage for any of
these reasons.
Restricted Warranty
Your warranties can also be restricted by
the vehicle warrantor.
The vehicle warrantor may restrict the war-
ranty on your vehicle if the vehicle is not
properly maintained, or if the vehicle is
abused or neglected, and the abuse or ne-
glect interferes with the proper functioning
of the vehicle. If the warranty is restricted,
coverage may be denied or subject to ap-
proval by the vehicle warrantor before cov-
ered repairs are performed.
