Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
!
Only have engin eelectronics and the corre-
spondin gparts, such as contro lunits ,actua-
tors, sensors or connector leads, serviced at a
qualified specialist workshop. Otherwise, the
vehicle parts may wear more quickly. This can
lead to loss of the New Vehicle Limited War-
ranty.
Installing electrical or electronic
equipment
You and other scan suffer health-related dam-
age through electromagnetic radiation .Byusing
an exterior antenna, apossible health risk
caused by electromagnetic fields, as discussed
in scientific circles, is taken int oaccount. Only
have the exterior antenn ainstalled by aqualified
specialist workshop.
Electrical and electronic devices may have a
detrimental effectonb oth the comfort and the
operatin gsafetyoft he vehicle. If equipment of
this kin disinstalled, its electromagnetic com-
patibility must be checked and verified.
If thes edevices are linked to function sassoci-
ated with resistance to interference, they must
have type approval. This applies to the device or
its interfaces to the vehicle electronics, e.g.
chargingb rackets.
At elephon eortwo-way radio to be installed in
the vehicle must be approved. Further informa-
tion can be found in any Mercedes-Benz Com-
mercial Van Center. For operatio
nofmobile phones and two-way
radios, Mercedes-Benz recommends connec-
tion to an approved exterior antenna. This is the
only way to ensure optimum reception quality
inside the vehicle and to minimize mutual inter-
ference between the vehicle electronics, mobile
phones and two-way radios.
The transmission output of the mobile phone or
two-way radio may not exceed the following
