Safety
R
Suitability

Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to assess other parts. Even if an
independent or official approval has been pro-
vided in exceptional cases, Mercedes-Benz
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, certain
parts are officially approved for installation or
modification only if they comply with legal
requirements. This is also valid in several other
countries. All genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
meet the approval requirements. The use of
unapproved parts may result in the general
operating permit being invalidated.
This is the case if:
they cause a change to the vehicle type from
R
that for which the vehicle's general operating
permit was granted.
other road users could be endangered.
R
the emissions or noise levels are adversely
R
affected.
Always specify the vehicle identification number
Y
(VIN) ( page 295) and engine number when
ordering genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

( page 295).

QR code for rescue card

The QR code stickers are affixed to the B-pillar
on the driver's and co-driver's side.
In the event of an accident, rescue services can
use the QR code to quickly determine the cor-
responding rescue card for your vehicle. The
current rescue card contains, in compact form,
the most important information about your vehi-
cle e.g. the routing of electric cables.

Data stored in the vehicle

A wide range of electronic components in your
vehicle contain data memories.
These data memories temporarily or perma-
nently store technical information about:

R
events
R
malfunctions
R
In general, this technical information docu-
ments the state of a component, a module, a
system or the surroundings.
This includes, for example:
operating conditions of system components,

the vehicle's reactions and operating sta-
R
tuses in special driving situations. e.g. airbag
