The Mercedes-Benz body/equipment mounting

Notes on the engine radiator
Even seemingly small changes to the vehicle,
such as attaching a radiator trim for winter driv-
ing or as protection against insects, are not per-
mitted. Do not cover the radiator. Do not use
thermal mats, insect protection covers or any-
thing similar.
Doing so can cause the diagnostics system to
display inaccurate values. In some countries,
the recording of engine diagnostics data is a
legal requirement, and must always be verifiable
and accurate.

Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-
Benz is unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-
Benz accepts no responsibility for the use of
such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if
they have been independently or officially
approved.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if they
comply with legal requirements. This also
applies to some other countries. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval
requirements. The use of non-approved parts
may invalidate the vehicle's general operating
permit.
This is the case if:
it results in a change to the vehicle type from

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.
