Risk of accident
Only have the engine electronics and associ-
ated parts serviced at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Cen-
tre for this purpose.

Only have the engine electronics and asso-
ciated parts, such as control units, sensors or
connector leads, serviced at a qualified special-
ist workshop. Otherwise, vehicle parts may wear
more quickly and the vehicle warranty and gen-
eral operating permit may be invalidated.
Retrofitting electrical/electronic
equipment
Electrical and electronic equipment can
jeopardise the operational safety of your
vehicle. If equipment of this kind is retrofit-
ted, it must be type approved and must
bear the e mark. The e mark can be ob-
tained from the equipment manufacturer
or an authorised testing authority.
If you wish to install telephones or two-way
radios in the vehicle, you must obtain for-
mal approval. Mercedes-Benz approves
the installation of mobile telephones and
two-way radios provided that they are in-
stalled professionally and a low-reflection
exterior aerial is used.
The transmission output of the telephone
or two-way radio must not exceed the max-
imum transmission outputs specified on
the next page.

Risk of accident
Mobile phones and two-way radios could in-
terfere with the vehicle's electronics and
thereby impair the vehicle's operating safety
and your safety if:
they do not have an exterior aerial
the exterior aerial is not reflection-free
the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly
Health risks may also occur due to exces-
sive electromagnetic radiation.
For this reason, only have the exterior aerial
fitted at a qualified specialist workshop
which has the necessary specialist knowl-
edge and tools to carry out the work re-
quired. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
