Please note: Changes may have been made to the product since the brochure went to press (27.02.2012). The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes to
the design, form, colour and specification of any Mercedes-Benz vehicle during the lifecycle period, provided these changes, while taking into account the interests
of the vendor, are communicated to the purchaser. The illustrations may show accessories and items of optional equipment which are not part of standard South
African specification. Colours may differ slightly from those shown in the brochure, owing to the limitations of the electronic and printing process.
