It is advisable to register your vehicle with an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible about
any change in address or vehicle ownership.
You can do this, for example, at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
If you remove warning stickers, you or others may
fail to recognize the dangers. Leave warning stick-
ers 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
Laws pertaining to motor vehicles and safety
standards
&
WARNING Risk of accident when the cen-
ter of gravity is too high
The vehicle may start to skid and rollover in the
event of sudden steering maneuvers and/or
when the vehicle's speed is not adapted to the
road conditions.
#
Always adapt your speed and driving
style to the vehicle's driving characteris-
tics and to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
Unsafe operation of the vehicle can result in an
accident or rollover, as well as serious or even fatal
injuries.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signifi-
cantly more likely to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always wear
seat belts.
Notes for persons with electronic medical aids
Mercedes-Benz AG cannot, despite carefully devel-
oping vehicle systems, completely rule out the
interaction of vehicle systems with electronic med-
ical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.
In addition, there are components built into the
vehicle that, regardless of the operating status of
your vehicle, can generate magnetic fields on a par
with permanent magnets. These fields can be
found, for example, in the area around the multi-
media and sound system or also in the seating
area, depending on the vehicle equipment.
For this reason, the following can occur in isolated
cases, depending on the aids used:
R
Medical aids malfunctioning
R
Adverse health effects
Observe the notes and warnings of the manufac-
turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the
device manufacturer and/or your doctor. If there is
continuing uncertainty concerning the possibility
of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-Benz AG
recommends using only few electrical vehicle sys-
tems and/or maintaining a distance from the com-
ponents.
Only have repairs and maintenance work in the
area of the following components carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop:
R
Vehicle components carrying live voltage
R
Transmission antenna
R
Multimedia system and sound system
If you have any queries or suggestions, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
