Technical data
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
The "Technical data" section contains all
the necessary technical data for your vehi-
cle. Some of the values given are provi-
sional and, in some cases, calculated
values. Final values were not available
when this manual was printed.

The technical data was determined in ac-
cordance with EU Directives. All data applies to
the vehicle's standard equipment. The data may
therefore differ for vehicles with optional equip-
ment. You may obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You will find information about your vehicle's
noise level in the vehicle's documentation.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and
conversion parts and accessories which
have been specifically approved for your
vehicle in terms of their reliability, safety
and suitability.
Despite ongoing market research,
Mercedes-Benz is unable to guarantee oth-
er parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts
no responsibility for the use of such parts
in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been independently or officially ap-
proved.

In Germany and other countries, certain
parts are only officially approved for instal-
lation or modification work if they comply
with legal requirements. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts satisfy these
regulations.
Make sure that replacement parts are suit-
able for your vehicle. In many countries,
parts that constitute a modification to the
vehicle could invalidate the vehicle's gen-
eral operating permit. This is the case if:
there is a change in the vehicle type ap-
proved in the general operating permit
road users could be endangered
exhaust emissions or noise levels are
adversely affected
The use of parts which have not been offi-
cially approved can jeopardise the safety
of your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz therefore recommends
that you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
and conversion parts and accessories
which have been approved for your vehi-
cle.

Environmental note
DaimlerChrysler also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. These parts have the
same warranty as new parts.
You can obtain genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts and approved conversion parts and
accessories from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Here you will receive ad-
vice about technical modifications, and the
parts will be professionally fitted.
Always quote the vehicle identification
number and the engine number when or-
dering genuine parts. You will find these
numbers on the vehicle data card in the
"Service Booklet" or on your vehicle's iden-
tification plates ( page 393).
