Notes on mounting equipment
The Unimog is an equipment carrier. It can be
combined with a large number of attach-
ments and equipment. For every combination
of the basic vehicle with attachments or
equipment, vehicle configurations are cre-
ated which together can cause danger. If
safety regulations, e.g. accident prevention
regulations, are not observed, danger can
arise with fitting equipment. Fitted equipment
generally alters the centre of gravity and the
dimensions of the vehicle, affecting the han-
dling characteristics. Pay particular attention,
especially when driving off-road. Do not
exceed the permissible axle loads for the
vehicle. If there is an unbalanced distribution
of the axle loads, the vehicle must be ballas-
ted.

WARNING
When the permissible wheel loads, axle loads
and/or the maximum permissible gross vehi-
cle weight are exceeded, driving safety is
compromised. The handling as well as steer-
ing and braking characteristics may be signif-
icantly impaired. Overloaded tyres may over-

heat, causing them to burst. There is a risk of
an accident.
When transporting a load, always observe the
permissible wheel loads, axle loads and the
maximum permissible gross vehicle weight
for the vehicle (including occupants).
! Read the body and equipment manufac-
turer's operating instructions. You could
otherwise fail to recognise dangers that
could arise when working with your
Unimog.
Always observe the information on the cor-
rect use of additional equipment.
! Make sure that the vehicle dimensions
comply with the country's regulations for
road use.
Notes on the radiator
Even seemingly small changes to the vehicle,
such as attaching a radiator trim for winter
driving, is not permitted. Do not cover up the
radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect pro-
tection covers or anything similar.
Otherwise, the values of the diagnostic sys-
tem may be affected. In some countries, the
recording of engine diagnostic data is a legal
requirement, and must always be verifiable
and accurate.

Environmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same war-
ranty applies as for new parts.
If you use parts, tyres, wheels or safety-rele-
vant equipment which has not been approved
by Mercedes-Benz, the operational safety of
the vehicle may be jeopardised. Safety-rele-
vant systems, e.g. the brake system, may
malfunction. Only use genuine Mercedes-
Benz parts or parts of an equivalent quality
