When transporting a load, always observe the permissible wheel loads, axle loads and the maximum permissible gross vehicle weight for the vehicle (including occupants). Technical modifications to the vehicle can affect the function of the stability control. Observe the information in the body/equip- ment mounting directives. Observe the information on genuine Mercedes-Benz parts ( Y page 32).
The Mercedes-Benz body/equipment mount- ing directives can be found on the Internet at https://bb-portal.mercedes-benz.com . There you can also find information on PIN assignment and changing fuses. You can obtain further information from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. ! Read the body and equipment manufac- turer's operating instructions. You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers that could arise when working with your Unimog. Always observe the information on the cor- rect use of additional equipment. ! Make sure that the vehicle dimensions comply with the country's regulations for road use.
Notes on the radiator Notes on mounting equipment Even seemingly small changes to the vehicle, such as attaching a radiator trim for winter driving, is not permitted. Do not cover up the radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect pro- tection covers or anything similar. Otherwise, the values of the diagnostic sys- tem may be affected. In some countries, the recording of engine diagnostic data is a legal requirement, and must always be verifiable and accurate. The Unimog is an equipment carrier. It can be combined with a large number of attach- ments and equipment.
For every combination of the basic vehicle with attachments or equipment, vehicle configurations are cre- ated which together can cause danger. If safety regulations, e.g. accident prevention regulations, are not observed, danger can arise with fitting equipment. Fitted equipment generally alters the centre of gravity and the dimensions of the vehicle, affecting the han- dling characteristics. Pay particular attention, especially when driving off-road. Do not exceed the permissible axle loads for the vehicle. If there is an unbalanced distribution of the axle loads, the vehicle must be ballas- ted.
Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts H Environmental note Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned assemblies and parts which are of the same quality as new parts. For these, the same war- ranty applies as for new parts. G WARNING When the permissible wheel loads, axle loads and/or the maximum permissible gross vehi- cle weight are exceeded, driving safety is compromised. The handling as well as steer- ing and braking characteristics may be signif- icantly impaired. Overloaded tyres may over- If you use parts, tyres, wheels or safety-rele- vant equipment which has not been approved by Mercedes-Benz, the operational safety of the vehicle may be jeopardised. Safety-rele- vant systems, e.g.
the brake system, may malfunction. Only use genuine Mercedes- Benz parts or parts of an equivalent quality
