Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
All Mercedes-Benz Centers maintain a supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz parts for necessary service and repair work. In addition, strategically located parts delivery centers provide for quick and reliable parts service.
There are more than 300,000 different genuine Mercedes-Benz parts available for Mercedes-Benz models.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are subject to strict quality control. Each part has been specially developed, manufactured or selected for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and fine-tuned for them.
Therefore, only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts should be used.
WARNING
Driving safety may be impaired if nonapproved
parts, tires and wheels or safetyrelevant
accessories are used.
This could lead to malfunctions in safetyrelevant
systems, e.g. the brake system. This
could cause you to lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
For this reason, Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or
parts of equal quality. Only use tires, wheels
and accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle.
Air bags and Emergency Tensioning
Devices, as well as control units and
sensors for these restraint systems may be
installed in the following areas of your
vehicle:
• doors
• door pillars
• door sills
• seats
• dashboard
• instrument cluster
• center console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint
systems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at
a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for this
purpose.
Environmental note
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned major
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. They are covered by the
same Limited Warranty entitlements as new
parts.
Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) and the engine number when ordering genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.
