General information

Guarantee

The smart sales organisation1 provides a
guarantee for the period of 24 months with­out kilometre limit for this accessory or
replacement part.

Operating safety

WARNING

G

Your attention must always be focused on
the traffic conditions. Only operate the
radio if traffic conditions permit you to do
so. Operating the radio will distract you
from the traffic and as a result you may lose
control of your vehicle, thereby causing an
accident.

Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle is covering a distance
of nearly 14 m per second.

WARNING

G

Always set the volume so that you remain
able to hear the sounds of your environment
(e.g. car horns, ambulances, police sirens
etc.). You could otherwise cause an acci­dent.

Proper use

Always observe the following when using
the audio equipment:

R

the safety notes in this manual

R

national road traffic regulations

WARNING

G

If work on electronic equipment or systems
(e.g. the radio) and its software is carried
out incorrectly, this equipment could stop
functioning. The electronic systems are
linked together by interfaces. Work on

electronic systems may also cause systems
that have not been modified to malfunction.
These malfunctions could affect the oper­ating safety of your vehicle and therefore
also have a considerable effect on your
safety.

Therefore, only have work on and changes to
electronic components carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.

Daimler recommends that you visit a
smart Centre for this purpose.

This radio receiver is suitable for opera­tion by all persons in accordance with
valid EU directives.

The device conforms to currently applica­ble European or harmonised national
standards.

Therefore, adherence to the relevant spec­ifications for electromagnetic compati­bility is guaranteed for this device.

As a result, interference caused by your
equipment to other electrical/electronic
equipment, as well as interference to your
equipment caused by other electrical/
electronic equipment is largely preven­ted.

The equipment is approved by the vehicle
manufacturer in accordance with European
Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC. There­fore, operation according to its intended
purpose is approved for your vehicle. The
equipment does not require certification

The equipment conforms to the relevant
equipment-specific EMC specifications
in accordance with the following European
standards:

R

EN 55013

R

EN 55020

!

Portable electronic devices in the car

can severely impair the radio reception.

The guarantor is the respective sales organisation in the country in which the accessory or replacement
part was bought (see list in the service booklet).
