Multi Purpose Vehicle
& WARNING Risk of accident when the
center of gravity is too high
The vehicle may start to skid and rollover in
the event of sudden steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not adap‐
ted to the road conditions.
Always adapt your speed and driving
#
style to the vehicle's driving characteris‐
tics and to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
Unsafe operation of the vehicle can result in an
accident or rollover, as well as serious or even
fatal injuries.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signifi‐
cantly more likely to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always wear
seat belts.
Notes for persons with electronic medical
aids
Despite careful development, Mercedes-Benz AG
cannot completely rule out the interaction of
vehicle systems with electronic medical aids such
as cardiac pacemakers.
In addition, there are components built into the
vehicle that, regardless of the operating status of
your vehicle, can generate magnetic fields on a
par with permanent magnets. These fields can be
found, for example, in the area around the multi‐
media and sound system or also in the seating
area, depending on the vehicle equipment.
For this reason, the following can occur in isola‐
ted cases, depending on the aids used:
Medical aids malfunctioning
R
Adverse health effects
R
Observe the notes and warnings of the manufac‐
turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the
device manufacturer and/or your doctor. If there
is continuing uncertainty concerning the possibil‐
ity of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-
Benz AG recommends using only a few electrical
vehicle systems and/or maintaining an appropri‐
ate distance from the components.
Only have repairs and maintenance work in the
area of the following components carried out by a
qualified specialist workshop:
Vehicle components carrying live voltage
R
Transmission antenna
R
Multimedia system and sound system
R
If you have any queries or suggestions, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
