Cautions regarding forward-looking statements.

Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. Examples may include an economic downturn in Europe or North America, changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates and in raw material prices, introduction of competing products, increased sales incentives, the successful implementation of the new business model for smart, delivery delays for production materials owing to supply bottlenecks, strikes or supplier insolvencies, and a decline in resale prices of used vehicles. Should one of these uncertainties or other difficulties (some of them are described under the heading "Risk report" in the current Mercedes-Benz annual report plus under the heading "Risk Factors" in the current Mercedes-Benz annual report in Form 20-F, which was submitted to the U.S. securities and stock exchange commission) arise or the assumptions based on the statements turn out to be incorrect, the actual results could significantly differ from the results mentioned in these statements or implicitly expressed.
