Operating safety
G
Warning!
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software
could cause them to cease functioning.
Because the vehicle’s electronic
components are interconnected, any
modifications made may produce an
undesired effect on other systems.
Electronic malfunctions could seriously
impair the operating safety of your 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 while
the engine is running. You should therefore
never turn off the engine while driving.
G
Warning!
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody
or tires/wheels, for example when running
over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole,
may cause serious damage and impair the
operating safety of your vehicle. If you feel
a sudden significant vibration or ride
disturbance, or you suspect that damage to
your vehicle has occurred, you should turn
on your hazard warning flashers, carefully
slow down, and 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 authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
or other qualified maintenance or repair
facility for further inspection or repairs.
