Notes for persons with electronic medical aids

Mercedes-Benz AG cannot, despite carefully developing vehicle systems, completely rule out the interaction of vehicle systems with electronic medical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.

In addition, there are components installed in the vehicle that, regardless of the operating status of the vehicle, can generate magnetic fields on a par with permanent magnets. These fields can be found, for example, in the area around the multimedia and sound system or also in the area of the seats, depending on the vehicle equipment.

For this reason, the following can occur in isolated cases, depending on the aids used:
  • Medical aids malfunctioning

  • Adverse health effects

Observe the notes and warnings of the manufacturer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the device manufacturer and/or your doctor. If there is continuing uncertainty concerning the possibility of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-Benz AG recommends using only few electrical vehicle systems and/or maintaining a distance from the components.

Plug-in hybrid: when charging the high-voltage battery, keep a distance of at least an arm's length between the medical aid and the following components:
  • the power supply equipment

    This includes charging stations in the form of a wallbox or a public charging point, for example.

  • vehicle components carrying live voltage

    This includes the charging cable and the charging control box, for example.

Only have repairs and maintenance work in the area of the following components carried out by a qualified specialist workshop:
  • vehicle components carrying live voltage

  • transmission aerials

  • multimedia system and sound system

If you have any queries or suggestions, consult a qualified specialist workshop.
