For further information about the recycling and
disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the take-back
conditions, please visit the national Mercedes-
Benz website for your country.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of your
vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well
as accessories relevant to safety that have not
been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-critical
systems (e.g. the brake system) may malfunction.
Use only Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of
equal quality. Use only tyres, wheels and acces-
sory parts that have been specifically approved
for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conver-
sion parts and accessory parts that have been
specifically approved for your vehicle model for
their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is
unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz
therefore accepts no responsibility for the use of
such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if
they have been officially approved or independ-
ently approved by a testing centre.

Certain parts are officially approved for installa-
tion or modification only if they comply with legal
requirements. All Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts
meet the approval requirements. The use of non-
approved parts may invalidate the vehicle's gen-
eral operating permit.

Do not install accessory parts such as
audio systems in these areas.
#
Do not carry out repairs or welding.
Have accessories retrofitted at a quali-
fied specialist workshop.
