Vehicle modifications
Before starting work on the vehicle, the upfitter must
check whether:

the operating conditions intended for the vehicle.
You can plan vehicle modifications by downloading 2D
drawings from the Upfitter portal of Mercedes-Benz
USA, LLC and Daimler Vans USA, LLC and by access-
ing product information and technical data from the
communications system (see chapter 1.1 “Overview”
(
Page 4)). Please also specify which additional
equipment is being installed by the manufacturer.
National laws, regulations and registration require-
ments must be complied with.

Note
Adequate clearances must be maintained in order
to ensure the function and operational safety of
assemblies.
