CONVERSION MEASURES RESULTING IN ALTERATION TO VEHICLE MODEL - AH00.10-P-1000-01A

Model 100, 107, 108, 109, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 123, 124, 126, 129, 140, 163, 168, 170, 201, 202, 208,

We disapprove of all vehicle conversions resulting in an alteration to the model. A standard production vehicle
is a design entity which, upon installation of parts alien to the model, usually changes in a detrimental way.
Changes to important components influence the homogeneity of the vehicle in its entirety. For this reason we
have not investigated the details to be observed when performing such conversions. Such conversions can also
lead to changes on the vehicle which require new proof that the vehicle complies with legal requirements.

The main reasons for our disapproval are:

1. Subsequent installation of a component such as a more powerful engine may overload the remaining

components such as the transmission, brakes, axles, etc.

2. Changes to the standard condition may decisively influence the new vehicle warranty, since our warranty

obligation does not cover damage resulting from a change to the original Daimler Benz delivery
condition.

3. Proper supply of parts is no longer ensured when major components are replaced.

4. The exchange procedure is based on the "Identical unit exchange" principle. For example, an identical

model reconditioned unit will be supplied in return for a damaged engine. Only then is it possible to be
credited for the returned damaged engine.

Customer inquiries and requests of this type should be answered along these lines in order to ensure that the
quality standard of our vehicles is not impaired.

NOTES ON PERFORMANCE CORRECTION - AH00.10-P-2010-01A

Engine 104, 111, 112, 113, 119, 120, 137, 166, 601, 602, 603, 604, 605, 606

General

The weather station's barometer must be calibrated to the air pressure specified by the local meteorological
office.

The measured performance value must be corrected with correction factors.

There are two 2 correction factors:



Altitude correction factor



Performance correction factor

Performance correction formula N

eo

= N

e

x K

H

N

eo

= Performance in reference to normal operating conditions in kW.

N

e

= Performance measured on the output dynamometer in kW.

K

H

= Correction for intake air temperature, barometer level and altitude of the relevant test location.

Calculation example

1. Read air pressure, altitude and intake air temperature of the test location off at the weather station.

NOTE:

In addition, vehicles registered in the Federal Republic of Germany are subject
to the law which revokes the operating permit as a result of conversions which
change the model. We cannot issue a Certificate of non-objection for individual
approval by the technical motor vehicle testing authority in each case.

In the example:

Air pressure of the test location =955 hPa (mbar)

Altitude of the test location = 400 m

Intake air temperature of the test location =+20°C

2. Determine the performance on the output dynamometer =100 kW

3. In the altitude correction Table, the altitude value of the test location = 400 m, results in a height

correction factor of 46 hPa (mbar).

4. The air pressure of the test location minus the height correction factor results in an air pressure value (p)

of:

955 hPa (mbar) - 46 hPa (mbar) = 909 hPa (mbar)

In order to be able to insert the air pressure (p) into the Table, it must be rounded. In the example, to 910
hPa.

5. On the basis of the air pressure (p) = 910 hPa, we read a correction factor (KH) of 1.0787 off from the

performance correction Table with an intake air temperature (t) of 20°C.

6. The performance data in relation to normal operating conditions results in the following:

N

eo

= N

e

x K

H

N

eo

= 100 kW x 1.0787 = 108 kW

Output on the dynamometer: Ne = 100 kW

Air pressure value of the test location: P= 955 hPa (955 mbar)

Air-charge temperature of the test location: t =+20°C

Altitude of the test location: 400 m above sea level

Units: hPa = Hecto Pascal

1 hPa = 1 mbar

1 Pa = 0.01 mbar
