Operating safety
G Risk of accident
If work on electronic equipment and its software is carried out incorrectly, this equipment could stop functionin g. The elect ronic
systems are networked via interfaces. T ampering with these electronic systems could
cause malfunctions in systems which have
not been modified. Such malfunctions can
seriously jeopardise the vehicle ’s ope ra ting
safety and your own safety as well.
Other work or modifications incorrectly carried out on the vehicle could also jeopardise
operating safety.
Some safety systems onl y function when the
engine is running. Therefore, do not switch
off the engine when driving.
G Risk of accident
Always have maintenance work carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialis t knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.

with underbody protection.
In such cases, have your vehicle checke d at
a qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work requir ed .
