Parts replaced under this warranty
become the property of MBUSA. The
warranty period starts on the date the
vehicle is delivered to the first retail
purchaser or put into service as an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership
demonstrator or MBUSI, MBUSA or
MBRDNA company vehicle.
The emission control system of your new
Mercedes-Benz vehicle was designed,
built and tested using Genuine Mercedes-
Benz parts and the vehicle is certified as
being in conformity with Federal emission
control regulations and requirements.
Accordingly, it is recommended that any
replacement parts used for maintenance,
repair or replacement of emission related
components be Genuine Mercedes-Benz
Parts, including Remanufactured Parts.
The owner may elect to have
maintenance, replacement or repair of
the emission control devices and systems
performed by any automotive repair
establishment or individual, and may elect
to use other than Genuine Mercedes-Benz
Parts, including Remanufactured Parts for
such maintenance, replacement or repair
without invalidating this warranty; the
cost of such service or parts, however,
will not be covered under the warranty
except in the case of an emergency.
Emission Warranties Required By Law
Use of replacement parts which are not
of equivalent quality and design may
impair the effectiveness of the emission
control systems.
If other than Genuine Mercedes-Benz
Parts, including Remanufactured
Parts are being used for maintenance,
replacement or repair of components
affecting emission control, the owner
should obtain assurances that such parts
are warranted by their manufacturer to
be equivalent to Genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts in performance and durability.
MBUSA, however, assumes no liability
under this warranty with respect to parts
other than Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts,
including Remanufactured Parts except
for consequential damage to a non-
Mercedes-Benz warranted part caused
by a failure of a Mercedes-Benz part.
However, the use of non-Mercedes-Benz
replacement parts does not invalidate the
warranty on other components unless
non- Mercedes-Benz parts cause damage
to warranted parts.
