Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Mercedes-Benz tests all genuine parts and
conversion parts and accessories that
have been specifically approved for the
type of vehicle in terms of:
Ireliability
Isafety
Isuitability
Despite ongoing market research,
Mercedes-Benz is unable to guarantee oth-
er 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 ap-
proved.
In Germany and some other countries, cer-
tain parts are only officially approved for
installation or modification if they comply
with legal requirements. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts satisfy these require-
ments.
Make sure that replacement parts are suit-
able for the vehicle. In many countries,
parts that constitute a modification to the
vehicle could invalidate the general operat-
ing permit. This is the case if:
Ithe vehicle type approved in the gener-
al operating permit changes
Ithe modification poses a risk for other
road users
Ithe vehicle's emissions and noise lev-
els are adversely affected
The use of non-approved parts could im-
pair vehicle safety. Mercedes-Benz there-
fore recommends that you use genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts and conversion parts
and accessories that have been approved
for the type of vehicle.
HEnvironmental note
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.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts and ap-
proved conversion parts and accessories
are available from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Here you will receive ad-
vice about technical modifications, and
the parts will be professionally fitted.
Always provide the vehicle's identification
number and the engine number when or-
dering genuine parts. You will find the
numbers on the vehicle's identification
plates and on the vehicle data card in
some vehicles.
