Operating safety
G Risk of accident and injury
All work on the vehicle and, in particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related
systems must be carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop. The specialist work-
shop must have the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose.
G Risk of accident and injury
Some safety systems only function when
the engine is running. You should therefore
never switch off the engine when driving.
Otherwise the safety systems of your vehi-
cle may no longer protect you and other
persons as intended. In addition, there is
the danger that you may lose control of your
vehicle and thus cause an accident.
G Risk of accident and injury
Work carried out incorrectly, or alterations
made to the vehicle, e.g. rerouting of cables
under coverings, could cause the safety
systems of your vehicle to stop working
properly. The safety systems would thus no
longer protect you and other persons as
intended. In addition, there is the danger
that you may lose control of your vehicle
and thus cause an accident.
All work and alterations to the vehicle, e.g.
installations or modifications, should there-
fore be carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
G Risk of accident
A heavy impact to the underbody, tyres or
wheels, for example when bottoming out on
rough terrain or driving over an obstacle at
high speed, could damage your vehicle. As
a result, you could cause an accident. This
also applies to vehicles which are equipped
with underbody protection.
For this reason, drive slowly over obstacles,
avoid bottoming out the vehicle in rough
terrain and, if necessary, have your vehicle
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
G Risk of accident
If work on electronic equipment and its
software is carried out incorrectly, this
equipment could stop working. The elec-
tronic systems are networked via interfa-
ces. Tampering with these electronic sys-
tems could cause malfunctions in systems

which have not been modified. Malfunc-
tions such as these can seriously jeopard-
ise the vehicle's operating safety and
therefore your own safety.
You should thus have all work and modifi-
cations to electronic components carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
