WARNING
If work on electronic equipmen tand its soft-
ware is carried out incorrectly, this equipment
could stop working .The electronic systems
are networked via interfaces. Tampering with
these electronic systems could cause mal-
functions in systems which have not been
modified. Malfunctions such as these can
seriously jeopardise the vehicle's operating
safety and therefore your own safety.
You should therefore have all work and mod-
ifications to electronic components carried
out at aqualified specialist workshop. Declarations of conformity
Wireless vehicle components The following information applies to all com-
ponentsoft he vehicle and the COMAND sys-
tem which receive and/or transmit radio
waves:
The components of this vehicle which receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant
with the basic requirements and other rele-
vant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You
can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Ben zService Centre.
Electromagnetic compatibility The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi-
cle components has been checked and certi-
fied according to the currently valid version
of Directive 72/245/EEC or the equivalent
ECE Regulation ECE-R1 0.Diagnostics connection
G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to adiagnostics
connection, it can affect the operation of the
vehicle systems. This could compromise the operating safety of your vehicle while driving.
There is
arisk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to adiagnos-
tics connection. G
WARNING
Loose equipment or cables hanging from a
device which are connected to adiagnostic
connection could impede pedal clearance.
The equipment or cables could get caught
between the pedals when driving and braking
suddenly. This could impair the function of the
pedals. There is arisk of accident.
Do not attach any equipment or cables in the
driver's footwell.
! If the engine is switched off and equip-
ment on the diagnostics connection is
used, the starter battery may discharge.
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
aq ualified specialist workshop.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics
connection can lead to emissions monitoring
information being reset, for example. This
may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the
requirements of the next emissions test dur-
ing the main inspection. Qualified specialist workshop

WARNING
If servic ework is not carried out correctly, the

ted. This could cause you to lose contro lof
your vehicle and cause an accident. More-
over, the safet ysystem smay no longer be

WARNING
Modification stoorwork performed incor-
rectly on th efollowin gpartsc an result in the
restraint systems no tfunctionin gasintended:
R ther estraint system, consisting of seat
belt sand their anchorage points ,belt ten-
sioners ,belt force limiters and airbags
R thew iring
R networked electronic systems
Airbags and belt tensioners could fail to

tentionally. For this reason, never make any
modifications to the restraint systems.
Therefore, you must not tamper with elec-
tronic components or their software.
The seat belts, together with SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System), are complemen-
tary, co-ordinated restraint systems
(Y page 41). They reduce the risk of injury
in specific, pre-defined types of accident sit-
uations and thereby increase occupant
safety. However, seat belts and airbags gen-
erally do not protect against object spene-
tratin gthe vehicle from the outside. 40

If ESP
®
intervenes:
X Do not deactivate ESP ®
under any circum-
stances.
X When pulling away, only depres sthe accel-
erator pedalasf ar as is necessary.
X Adapt yourd riving style to suitt he prevail-
ing road and weather conditions.
i Only use wheels with the recommended
tyre sizes. Only then will ESP ®
function
properly.
ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System) Traction control is part of ESP
®
.
Traction control brakes the drive wheels indi-
vidually if they spin. This enables you to pull
away and accelerate on slippery surfaces, for
example if the road surface is slippery on one
side. On vehicles with 4MATIC, more drive
torque is also transferred to the wheel or
wheels with traction.
Traction control remains active if you deacti-
vate ESP ®
.
Deactivating/activating ESP ®
(except
AMG vehicles) G
WARNING
If you deactivate ESP ®
,E SP ®

bilises the vehicle. There is an increased risk
of skidding and an accident.
Only deactivate ESP ®
in the situations descri-
bed in the following.
