You could jeopardize the operating safety of your

as accessories relevant to safety which have not
been approved by Mercedes-Benz. This could
lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant systems,
for example, the brake system. Only use
Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of equal
quality. Only use tires, wheels and accessory
parts that have been specifically approved for
your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts are subject to
strict quality control. Each part has been spe‐
cially developed, manufactured or selected for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and fine-tuned for them.
Therefore, only Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts
should be used.

GenuineParts are available for Mercedes-Benz
models.
All authorized Mercedes-Benz Centers maintain
a supply of Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts for
necessary service and repair work. In addition,
strategically located parts-delivery centers pro‐
vide for quick and reliable parts service.
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) (

→
Benz GenuineParts.
