Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts, con-
version parts and accessories which have
been approved for your vehicle in terms of
their reliability, safety and suitability.
Despite ongoing market research,
Mercedes-Benz is unable to guarantee oth-
er parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts
no responsibility for the use of such parts
in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been independently or officially ap-
proved.
In Germany and other countries, certain
parts are only officially approved for instal-
lation or modification work if they comply
with legal requirements. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts satisfy these regula-
tions.
Nur fuer internen Gebrauch
Make sure that replacement parts are suit-
able for your vehicle. In many countries,
parts that constitute a modification to the
vehicle could invalidate the general operat-
ing permit. This is the case if:
the type of vehicle approved in the gen-
eral operating permit has changed
it will endanger road users
it has a detrimental effect on exhaust
emissions or vehicle noise levels
The use of non-approved parts could jeop-
ardise vehicle safety.
For this reason, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
and conversion parts and accessories
which have been approved for your vehi-
cle.
