Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
!
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
R
kerb or an unpaved road
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
R
kerb or a pothole in the road
a heavy object strikes the underbody or
R
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, the under-
body, chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed
for.
If the underbody panelling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody panelling. If these materials
come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust
system, they can catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If, upon continuing your
journey, you notice that driving safety is
impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle imme-
diately, paying attention to road and traffic
conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified
specialist workshop.
Declarations of conformity
Wireless vehicle components
The following information applies to all compo-
nents of the vehicle and the information sys-
tems and communication devices integrated
into the vehicle which receive and/or transmit
radio waves:
The components of this vehicle that receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with
the basic requirements and all other relevant
conditions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can
obtain further information from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Electromagnetic compatibility
The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle
components has been checked and certified
according to the currently valid version of Reg-
ulation ECE-R 10.
Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended for
the connection of diagnostic equipment at a
qualified specialist workshop.
G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it can affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. This may
affect the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle.
G
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper-
ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a
risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as pre-
scribed in order to ensure that there is always
sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floor-
mats on top of one another.
!
If the engine is switched off and equipment
on the diagnostics connection is used, the
starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics con-
nection can lead to emissions monitoring infor-
mation being reset, for example. This may lead
to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of
the next emissions test during the main inspec-
tion.
