Warning!
G
Work improperly carried out on electronic 
components and associated software could 
cause them to cease functioning. Because 
the vehicle’s electronic components are in-
terconnected, any modification made may 
produce an undesired effect on other sys-
tems.
Electronic system malfunctions could seri-
ously impair the operating safety of your ve-
hicle. 
Ensure that any repairs or modifications to 
electronic components are carried out by an 
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 
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 nev-
er turn off the engine while driving.
