Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres to
carry out technical inspections on certain vehi-
cles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is
improved as a result of the inspection.
Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehi-
cle checks if it has your registration data.
It is possible that your vehicle has not yet been
registered in your name in the following cases:
if your vehicle was not purchased at an
R
authorised specialist dealer.
if your vehicle has not yet been examined at a
R
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible
about any change in address or vehicle owner-
ship. You can do this at a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre, for example.

ers could fail to recognise certain dangers.
