could affect your vehicle's operating safety.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, approved

vehicle.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for repairs or modifications to electronic
components.
Other improper work or modifications on the
vehicle could also have a negative impact on
the operating safety of the vehicle.
Some safety systems only function when the
engine is running. You should therefore never
turn off the engine while driving.
WARNING
G
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody or
tires/wheels may cause serious damage and
impair the operating safety of your vehicle.
Such blows can be caused, for example, by
running over an obstacle, road debris or a
pothole.
If you feel a sudden significant vibration or
ride
disturbance, or you suspect that damage
to your vehicle has occurred:
R
turn on your hazard warning flashers.
R
slow down carefully.
R
drive with caution to an area which is a safe
distance from the road.
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest

qualified maintenance or repair facility for
further inspection or repairs.
