Therefore, only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts should be used.
WARNING
Driving safety may be impaired if nonapproved
parts, tires and wheels or safetyrelevant
accessories are used.
This could lead to malfunctions in safetyrelevant
systems, e.g. the brake system. This
could cause you to lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
For this reason, Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or
parts of equal quality. Only use tires, wheels and accessories that have been
specifically
approved for your vehicle.
Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devices, as well as control units and sensors for these restraint systems may be installed in the following areas of your vehicle:
• doors
• door pillars
• door sills
• seats
• dashboard
• instrument cluster
• center console
Do not install accessories such as audio systems in these areas. Do not carry out repairs or welding. You could impair the operating efficiency of the restraint systems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes- Benz recommends that you use an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this purpose.

Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned major
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. They are covered by the
same Limited Warranty entitlements as new
