Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
G
Risk of accident
Only have work on the engine electronics and
related components carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehicle’s
roadworthiness could be affected.
!
Only have maintenance work on the
engine electronics and its associated parts,
such as control units, sensors and connec-
tor leads, performed at a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Otherwise, vehicle components
may wear more quickly and your vehicle's
warranty and operating permit may be inva-
lidated.
Retrofitting electrical and electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can jeop-
ardise the operating safety of your vehicle. If
equipment of this kind is retrofitted, it must
be type-approved and bear the e mark. The
e mark may be obtained from the equipment
manufacturer or an authorised testing centre.
!
Damage or consequential damage arising
from fitting equipment not approved
by Mercedes-Benz is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz warranty.
If you wish to install two-way radios in the
vehicle, you must obtain formal approval.
Mercedes-Benz approves the installation of
two-way radios if such equipment is installed
professionally and a low-reflection exterior
aerial is used.
The transmission output of the two-way radio
must not exceed the maximum transmission
outputs listed.
G
Risk of accident
Two-way radios may interfere with the vehicle
electronics and thereby jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle and your own
safety if:
R
they do not have an exterior aerial.
R
the exterior aerial is not a low-reflection
aerial.
R
the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly.
G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation could
result in damage to your health. Using an
exterior aerial takes into account current sci-
entific discussions relating to the possible
health hazards that may result from electro-
magnetic fields.
For this reason, only have the exterior aerial
fitted at a qualified specialist workshop which
has the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
i
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of
an approved exterior aerial. This ensures
optimal reception quality for mobile tele-
phones/wireless devices in the vehicle.
This also ensures that interference
between these devices and the vehicle's
electronics is kept to a minimum. If con-
nected, the exterior aerial conducts the
electromagnetic fields transmitted by a
mobile phone to the exterior of the vehicle.
