Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz service centre for this purpose.
Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its service centres to
carry out technical inspections on certain vehi‐
cles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is
improved as a result of the inspection.
Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehicle
checks if it has your registration data.
In the following cases your vehicle may not be
registered to you yet:
R
you did not purchase your vehicle at an
authorised specialist dealer.
R
your vehicle has not yet been inspected at a
Mercedes-Benz service centre.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a
Mercedes-Benz service centre.
Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible about
any change in address or vehicle ownership. You
can do this, for example, at a Mercedes-Benz
service centre.
Correct use of the vehicle
If you remove warning stickers, others may fail to
recognise the dangers. Leave warning stickers in
position.
Observe the following information in particular
when operating the vehicle:
R
safety notes in these Operating Instructions
R
technical data for the vehicle
R
traffic rules and regulations
R

Information on the REACH regulation
EU and EFTA countries only:
The REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No.
1907/2006, Article 33) stipulates an information
obligation for substances of very high concern
(SVHC).
Daimler AG is acting to the best of its knowledge
to avoid the use and application of these SVHCs
and to enable the customer to handle theses sub‐
stances safely. According to supplier information
and internal product information of Daimler AG,
SVHCs are known which are more than 0.1 per‐
cent by weight in individual products of this vehi‐
cle.

the driver's and co-driver's side. In the event of
an accident, emergency services can use the QR
code to quickly determine the corresponding res‐
cue card for your vehicle. The current rescue card
contains, in compact form, the most important
information about your vehicle e.g. the routing of
electric cables.

Data storage
Electronic control units
Electronic control units are fitted in your vehicle.
Some of these are necessary for the safe opera‐
tion of your vehicle, while some assist you when
driving (driver assistance systems). In addition,
your vehicle provides comfort and entertainment
functions, which are also made possible by elec‐
tronic control units.
The electronic control units contain data memo‐
ries which can temporarily or permanently store
technical information about the vehicle's operat‐
ing state, component loads, maintenance require‐
ments and technical events or faults.
