Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class 2013 Owners Manual - Manual (Page 22)

Product information
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, conversion
parts and accessories that have been
approved for your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts as well as
conversion parts and accessories that have
been specifically approved for your vehicle for
their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is
unable to assess other parts. Therefore,
Mercedes-Benz accepts no responsibility for
the use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. This is also the case, even if they
have been independently or officially
approved. The use of non-approved parts
could affect your vehicle's operating safety.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts, approved
conversion parts and accessories are
available from any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center. Here, you will receive advice about
permissible technical modifications, and the
parts will be professionally installed.
