The“Technical data” section contains all the necessary technical data for your vehicle. Missing data was not available at the time this manual went to print.
>$@ The technical data was determined in accordance with EU Directives. All data applies to the vehicle's standard equipment. The data may therefore differ for vehicles with optional equipment. You may obtain further information from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You will find information about your vehicle's noise level in the vehicle registration papers.>$@
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and conversion parts and accessories which have been specifically approved for your vehicle in terms of their reliability, safety and suitability.
Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to guarantee other 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 approved.
In Germany and other countries, certain parts are only officially approved for installation or modification work if they comply with legal requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Benz parts satisfy these regulations.
Make sure that the replacement part is suitable for your vehicle. In many countries, parts that constitute a modification to the vehicle could invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit.This is the case if:
1 the type of vehicle approved in the general operating permit is changed
2 the part(s) create a possible risk for road users
3 the part(s) adversely affect the vehicle's emissions and noise levels
The use of non-approved parts could jeopardise the safety of the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz recommends, therefore, that you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and conversion parts and accessories which have been approved for your vehicle.
>$@ DaimlerChrysler also supplies reconditioned assemblies and parts which are of the same quality as new parts. These parts have the same warranty as new parts.>$@
You can obtain genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and approved conversion parts and accessories from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Here you will receive advice about technical modifications, and the parts will be professionally fitted.
Always quote the vehicle identification number and the engine number when ordering genuine parts. You will find these numbers on the vehicle data card in the Service Booklet or on your vehicle's identification plates (→page 468).
