Possible danger due to substances hazardous to health In compliance with Proposition 65 (“Prop65”), the following detachable label has been added to each vehicle sold in California: & WARNING Risk of accident due to mal­functions or system failures If you do not have the prescribed service/ maintenance work or any required repairs car­ried out, this could result in malfunctions or system failures. # Always have the prescribed service and maintenance work or any required repairs carried out in a qualified special­ist workshop. & WARNING Risk of accident or injury due to incorrect modifications on electronic component parts Modification of electronic components, their software or wiring could impair their function and/or the function of other networked com­ponent parts or safety-relevant systems. This can endanger the operating safety of the vehicle. # Never tamper with the wiring and elec­tronic component parts or their soft­ware. # You should have all work on electrical and electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Observe the "On-board electronics" section in "Technical data". * NOTE Impairment of the operating effi­ciency of the vehicle or individual compo­nents due to tampering with the on-board electronics The vehicle is equipped by the manufacturer with various safety mechanisms that interact with each other. If the system detects tampering with the on-board electronics due to an unauthorized modification of control units and/or their soft-ware/data, this may have the following effects: R Individual vehicle functions are (tempora­rily) no longer operational. R The overall vehicle is (temporarily) no lon­ger operational. # Have the vehicle checked immediately at a qualified specialist workshop and, if necessary, reset to factory settings. * NOTE Damage to the vehicle caused by driving too fast and by blows to the under-body and chassis parts The vehicle can be damaged in the following cases in particular: R The underside of the vehicle makes con­tact with the ground, e.g. on a high curb or an unpaved road. R The vehicle drives too quickly over an obstacle, e.g. a curb, a speed bump or a pothole. R A heavy object hits the underbody or chas­sis components. In these or similar situations, the vehicle body, the underbody, chassis components, wheels or tires and parts of the high-voltage battery could be damaged even if this is not visible. Components that have been damaged in this way can fail unexpectedly or, in the event of an accident, may not absorb the loads that arise as intended. # Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. or # If driving safety is impaired during the rest of the journey, stop immediately paying attention to the traffic situation and notify a qualified specialist work­shop. Electric vehicles have an electric motor. The elec­tric motor's energy supply is provided by the high-voltage on-board electrical system. & DANGER Risk of death and fire due to modified and/or damaged components of the high-voltage on-board electrical sys­tem The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system is under high voltage. If you modify component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system or touch damaged component parts, you may be electrocuted. In addition, modified and/or damaged compo­ nents may cause a fire. In the event of an accident or impact to the vehicle underbody, components of the high- voltage electrical system may be damaged although the damage is not visible. # Never make any modifications to the high-voltage on-board electrical system. # Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its high-voltage on-board electrical system components have been modified or dam­aged. # Never touch damaged components of the high-voltage on-board electrical sys­tem. # After an accident, do not touch any com­ponents of the high-voltage on-board electrical system. # After an accident, have the vehicle trans­ported away. # Have the components of the high-voltage on-board electrical system checked at a qualified specialist workshop and replaced if necessary. The components of the vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical system are marked with yellow warning stickers. The cables of the high-voltage on-board electrical system are orange. Example Vehicles with electric motors generate signifi­cantly less noise when stationary and while driv­ing than vehicles with internal-combustion engines. Therefore the vehicle may not be heard by other road users due to the significantly reduced noise when stationary and while driving. For this reason the vehicle is equipped with a sound generator, which serves as an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This protective equipment is prescribed by law. The outside sound produced by the sound genera­tor (AVAS) can be heard in the passenger com­partment at low speeds and does not represent a malfunction. * NOTE Malfunctions and system failures due to incorrect mounting of the license plate on the front license plate holder If the license plate is incorrectly mounted on the front license plate holder, sensors, cam­eras or driving and safety systems may mal­function or fail. Observe the following points when mounting the license plate on the front license plate holder: # Mount the license plate directly on the license plate holder without advertising media or other holders. # Mount the license plate so that it does not protrude above or to the side of the license plate adapter. USA: "Radio based devices of this vehicle comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

QR codes are attached in the socket flap and on the opposite side on the B-pillar. In the event of an accident, rescue services can use the QR code to quickly find the appropriate rescue card for your vehicle. The current rescue card contains the most important information about your vehicle (e.g. the routing of the electric lines) in compact form. Further information can be obtained at https:// www.mercedes-benz.de/qr-code Data processing in the vehicle Electronic control units Electronic control units are installed in your vehi­cle. Control units process data which, for exam­ple, they receive from vehicle sensors, generate themselves or exchange between themselves. Some control units are required for the safe oper­ation of your vehicle, some assist you when driv­ing, such as driver assistance systems, while oth­ers enable convenience or infotainment functions. The following provides you with general informa­tion regarding data processing in the vehicle. Additional information regarding exactly which data in your vehicle are collected, saved and transmitted to third parties, and for what purpose, can be found in the information directly related to the functional characteristics in question in their respective operating instructions. This information is also available online and, depending on the vehicle equipment, digitally. Personal data Every vehicle is identified by a unique vehicle identification number. Depending on the country, this vehicle identification number can be used by, for example, governmental authorities to deter­mine the identity of the owner. There are other possibilities to use data collected from the vehicle to identify the owner or driver, such as the license plate number. Therefore, data generated or processed by control units may be attributable to a person or, under certain conditions, become attributable to a per­son. Depending on which vehicle data are availa­ble, it may be possible to make inferences about, for example, your driving behavior, your location, your route or your use patterns. Legal requirements regarding the disclosure of data If legally required to do so, manufacturers are, in individual cases, legally obliged to provide govern­mental entities, upon request and to the extent required, data stored by the manufacturer. For example, this may be the case during the investi­gation of a criminal offense. Governmental entities are themselves, in individ­ual cases and within the applicable legal frame­work, authorized to read out data from the vehi­cle. In the case of an accident, information that can help with an investigation can, therefore, be taken from the air bag control unit, for example. Operational data in the vehicle This is data regarding the operation of the vehicle, which have been processed by control units. This includes the following data, for example: R vehicle status information such as the speed, longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, number of wheel revolutions or the fastened seat belts display R ambient conditions, such as temperature, rain sensor or distance sensor Generally, the use of these data is temporary; they will not be stored beyond the period of oper­ation and will only be processed within the vehicle itself. Control units often contain data memories for vehicle keys, for example. Their use permits the temporary or permanent documentation of technical information about the vehicle's operat­ing state, component loads, maintenance require­ments and technical events or malfunctions. Depending on the vehicle equipment, the follow­ing data are stored: R operating status of system components, such as fill levels, tire pressure or battery status R malfunctions or faults in important system components, such as lights or brakes R system reactions in special driving situations, such as air bag deployment or the intervention of stability control systems R information on events leading to vehicle dam­ age R charge level of the high-voltage battery, esti­ mated range In certain cases, it may be required to store data that would have otherwise been used only tempo­rarily. This may be the case if the vehicle has detected a malfunction, for example. If you use services, such as repair services and maintenance work, stored operational data as well as the vehicle identification number can be read out and used. They can be read out by service network employees, such as workshops and manufacturers or third parties, such as break­down services. The same is true in the case of warranty claims and quality assurance measures. In general, the readout is performed via the legally prescribed port for the diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The operational data that are read out document technical states of the vehicle or of individual components and assist in the diagnosis of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obliga­tions and quality improvement. To that end, these data, in particular information about component loads, technical events, malfunctions and other faults may be transmitted along with the vehicle identification number to the manufacturer. Fur­thermore, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this reason the manufacturer also uses operational data from the vehicle, for exam­ple, for recalls. These data can also be used to examine the customer's warranty and guarantee claims. Malfunction memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service outlet or at your request as part of repair or maintenance work. Convenience and infotainment functions You can store convenience settings and individual settings in the vehicle and change or reset them at any time. Depending on the vehicle equipment, this includes the following settings, for example: R seat and steering wheel positions R suspension and climate control settings R individual settings, such as interior lighting Depending on the selected equipment, you can import data into vehicle infotainment functions yourself. Depending on the vehicle equipment, this includes the following data, for example: R multimedia data, such as music, films or pho­tos for playback in an integrated multimedia system R address book data for use in connection with an integrated hands-free system or an integra­ted navigation system R entered navigation destinations R data about the use of Internet services These data for convenience and infotainment functions may be saved locally in the vehicle or they may be located on a device which you have connected to the vehicle, such as a smartphone, USB flash drive or MP3 player. If you have entered these data yourself, you can delete them at any time. This data is transmitted from the vehicle to third parties only at your request. This applies, in par­ticular, when you use online services in accord­ance with the settings that you have selected. Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or Apple CarPlay®) If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can connect your smartphone or another mobile end device to the vehicle. You can then control them by means of the control elements integrated in the vehicle. Images and audio from the smart­phone can be output via the multimedia system. Certain information is simultaneously transferred to your smartphone. Depending on the type and integration, this includes position data, day/night mode and other general vehicle statuses. For more information please consult the Operator's Manual of the vehicle/infotainment system. This integration allows the use of selected smart­phone apps, such as navigation or music player apps. There is no further interaction between the smartphone and the vehicle; in particular, vehicle data is not directly accessible. The type of addi­tional data processing is determined by the pro­vider of the app being used. Which settings you can make, if any, depends on the specific app and the operating system of your smartphone. Online services Wireless network connection If your vehicle has a wireless network connection, it enables data to be exchanged between your vehicle and additional systems. The wireless net­work connection is made possible by the vehicle's own transmitter and receiver or by a mobile end device that you have brought into the vehicle, for example, a smartphone. Online functions can be used via the wireless network connection. This includes online services and applications/apps provided to you by the manufacturer or by other providers. Manufacturer's services Regarding the manufacturer's online services, the individual functions are described by the manu­facturer in a suitable place, for example, in the Operator's Manual or on the manufacturer's web­site, where the relevant data protection informa­tion is also given. Personal data may be used for the provision of online services. Data is exchanged via a secure connection, such as the manufacturer's designated IT systems. Any per­sonal data which is collected, processed and used, other than for the provision of services, is done so exclusively on the basis of legal permis­sion. This is the case, for example, for a legally prescribed emergency call system, a contractual agreement or when consent has been given. You can have services and functions, some of which are subject to a fee, activated or deactiva­ted. This excludes legally prescribed functions and services, such as an emergency call system. Third-party services If you use online services from other providers (third parties), these services are the responsibil­ity of the provider in question and subject to that provider's data protection conditions and terms of use. As a general rule, the manufacturer has no influence on the content exchanged. For this reason, when services are provided by third parties, please ask the service provider in question for information about the type, extent and purpose of the collection and use of personal data. Data protection rights Depending on your country or the equipment and range of functions of your vehicle as well as the services you use and the services on offer, you are entitled to different data protection rights. Further information on data protection and your data protection rights can either be found on the manufacturer's website or you will receive this information as part of the various services and service offers. There you will also find the contact information for the manufacturer and its data pro­tection officers. At a workshop, for example, with the support of a specialist and possibly for a fee, you can have data read out which is stored only locally in the vehicle. MBUX multimedia system/Mercedes me connect If the vehicle is equipped with the MBUX multime­dia system or Mercedes me connect, additional data about the vehicle's operation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be compiled by the MBUX multi­media system or Mercedes me connect. For additional information, please refer to the "MBUX multimedia system" section and/or the Mercedes me connect Terms and Conditions. Event data recorder USA only: This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa­tions, such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist in understand­ing how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: R How various systems in your vehicle were operating; R Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fastened; R How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and, R How fast the vehicle was traveling. These data can help provide a better understand­ing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement could combine the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip­ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manu­facturer, other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special equipment, can read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat­ters as a tool in accident reconstruction, accident claims, and vehicle safety. Since the Crash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract data from the EDR is commercially available, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC („MBUSA“) expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from the extraction of this information by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz personnel. MBUSA will not share EDR data with others with­out the consent of the vehicle owners or, if the vehicle is leased, without the consent of the les­see. Exceptions to this representation include responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by federal, state or local government; in connection with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by law. Warning: The EDR is a component of the Restraint System Module. Tampering with, altering, modify­ing or removing the EDR component may result in a malfunction of the Restraint System Module and other systems. State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that conflict with federal regulation are pre\-empted. This means that in the event of such conflict, the federal regulation governs. As of Dec 2016, 17 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.

For clear understanding The chapter "Occupant safety" includes informa­tion on equipment, functions and behaviors that contribute directly to safety of vehicle occupants. The information is structured as follows: R The most important information in brief: in this chapter, you are provided with an overview of the relationship between the restraint system and the correct behavior of all vehicle occu­pants. R Specific information: in further sections of the chapter "Occupant safety", you can find spe­cific information on the equipment and func­tions of the restraint system. R Keyword directory: you can also find certain subjects in this Operator's Manual using the keyword directory. Information on the following subjects, among oth­ers, are not provided in the chapter "Occupant safety": R Children in the vehicle (/ page 62) R Driving and driving safety systems (/ page 228) R Stowage areas (/ page 128) Defining generic terms clearly In this Operator's Manual, the following generic terms are used: R Occupant safety: comprises the components and system functions which help to minimize, as much as possible, the stresses on and con­sequences for vehicle occupants during an accident. R Restraint system: comprises those compo­nents which, along with the vehicle structure, help prevent vehicle occupants from poten­tially coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The seat belts and air bags, for example, are components of the restraint sys­tem. R Child restraint system: you can find all infor­mation on this subject in the chapter "Children in the vehicle" (/ page 62). Be diligent For the components of the restraint system to provide the intended level of protection, it is essential that the sitting posture is correct and that the seat belt is correctly fastened. Note that negligence when adjusting your sitting posture and fastening the seat belt may have seri­ous consequences. Be diligent and make sure that all vehicle occupants are sitting correctly and have fastened their seat belts properly before starting every journey. Information on the correct seat position The seat position must be correct in order for the components of the restraint system to provide the intended level of protection. The seat position influences both the protection provided by the seat belt and the additional pro­tection provided by the air bag. The correct seat position with an almost upright posture and a correctly fastened seat belt also reduce the risk posed by the air bag when it is deployed. When choosing the seat, take note of the available space. When you are sitting with the right posture in a nearly upright position, your head should not touch the roof. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to an incorrect seat position If you deviate from the correct seat position, the air bag cannot provide its intended protec­tive function. Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the following. # Put the seat in the correct position. # Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant women must take particular care to ensure that the lap belt never lies across the abdomen. # Observe the following information. In order for the restraint system to provide the intended level of protection, observe the following information: R Before starting your journey, adjust your seat correctly (/ page 109). When doing so, make sure you are able to fas­ten your seat belt correctly. The shoulder belt strap must be routed forward from the seat belt outlet over the center of your shoulder. R Keep your distance from the air bags, espe­cially the front air bags. Set the driver's seat and front passenger seat as far back as possi­ble while making sure the seat belt is fastened correctly. R If persons are sitting on the rear seats, vehicle occupants should maintain a sufficient dis­tance to the parts of the vehicle interior in front of them. R Make sure there are no people, animals or objects between the vehicle occupants and an air bag. R If you are the driver, observe the following information on the correct position of the driv­er's seat (/ page 109). Hold the steering wheel only by the steering wheel rim. This allows the driver's air bag to fully deploy. R Assume a nearly upright position, with your buttocks as far back as possible in the gap between the seat cushion and seat backrest. This ensures that your back lies as flat and firmly as possible against the seat backrest. R While driving, do not lean forward and do not lean against the door or side window. You may otherwise be in the deployment area of the air bags. R Sit with your feet resting on the floor, if possi­ble. Your thighs are slightly supported by the seat cushion Do not put your feet up on the cockpit, for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the deployment area of the air bag. R Fasten the seat belt correctly. Notes on wearing the seat belt correctly Always fasten your seat belt correctly before starting a journey. A seat belt can provide the best level of protection only if it is worn correctly. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrectly fastened seat belt If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot perform its intended protective function. In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause injuries, for example, in the event of an accident or when braking or changing direction suddenly. # Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting properly. & WARNING Risk of injury or death when additional restraint systems are not used for persons with a smaller stature Persons under 5 ft (1.50 m ) tall cannot wear the seat belt correctly without a suitable addi­tional restraint system. # Always secure persons under 5 ft (1.50 m) tall in a suitable restraint sys­tem. Each vehicle occupant must observe the following notes in particular: R The seat belt must not be twisted: R The shoulder belt strap must be routed forward from the seat belt outlet over the cen­ter of your shoulder. R The shoulder belt strap should neither touch your neck nor be routed under your arm or behind your back. R The lap belt must be routed as low down across the hips as possible. In addition, push the lap belt down as far as possible across your hips and pull tight with the shoulder belt strap. Never route the lap belt across your abdomen. Pregnant women must also take particular care with this. R The shoulder belt strap and lap belt must fit snugly against the body after being tightened. R Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat. R Never route the seat belt across sharp, poin­ted, abrasive or fragile objects. R Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time. R Never secure objects with a seat belt if the seat belt is also being used by one of the vehi­cle's occupants. Also ensure that no objects, e.g. a cushion, are ever placed between a person and the seat. Fastening and adjusting seat belts If the seat belt is pulled quickly or sharply, the seat belt retractor locks. The seat belt strap can­not be pulled out any further. Vehicles with illuminated design seat belt buckles: the illumination on the seat belt buckle does not indicate that the seat belt buckle is functioning correctly. # Always engage seat belt tongue 1 of the seat belt into seat belt buckle 2 of the corre­sponding seat. # To adjust the seat belt height: press button 3 on the seat belt outlet and slide the seat belt outlet to the desired position. # To engage the seat belt outlet: release button 3 and ensure that the seat belt outlet engages. * NOTE Deployment of components of the restraint system when the front passenger seat is unoccupied and a seat belt is buckled When the front passenger seat is unoccupied and the seat belt tongue of the seat belt is engaged in the seat belt buckle, components of the restraint system may deploy unnecessa­rily on the front passenger side, e.g. the Emer­gency Tensioning Device. # Only buckle the seat belts as intended. % Observe the information on child seat safety feature of the seat belt (/ page 70). Function of the restraint system warning lamp When the vehicle is switched on, a self-test is per­formed, during which the restraint system warning lamp 6 lights up. It goes out no later than a few seconds after the vehicle is started. The com­ponents of the restraint system are then func­tional. A malfunction has occurred in the restraint sys­tem if: R the restraint system warning lamp 6does not light up when the vehicle is switched on R the restraint system warning lamp 6lights up continuously or repeatedly during a journey If components of the restraint system have been deployed, the restraint system warning lamp 6 lights up continuously. & WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc­tions in the restraint system Components in the restraint system may be activated unintentionally or not deploy as plan­ned in an accident. # Have the restraint system checked and repaired immediately at a qualified spe­cialist workshop. If the restraint system is malfunctioning, the auto­matic high voltage emergency shutoff may not function. & DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to mal­functions of the automatic high-voltage emergency shutoff In the event of an accident, the high-voltage on-board electrical system may not be deacti­vated as intended. You may be electrocuted if you touch the dam­aged component parts of the high-voltage on-board electrical system. # Have the automatic high-voltage emer­gency shutoff checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. # After an accident, switch off the vehicle immediately. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop. Function of the seat belt warning lamp The seat belt warning lamp ü on the driver's display is a reminder that all vehicle occupants must wear their seat belts correctly. The seat belt warning lamp ü lights up for six seconds every time the vehicle is started. In addition, a warning tone may sound. When the driver's and front passengers doors are closed and the driver and front passenger have fastened their seat belts, the seat belt warning goes out. Function of the rear seat belt status display The rear seat belt status display on the driver's display reminds you that all vehicle occupants must wear their seat belts correctly. In addition, a warning tone may sound. If a person unfastens a seat belt in the rear passenger compartment while the vehicle is motion, the rear seat belt status display appears again. Display on the driver's display Every time the vehicle is switched on, the rear seat belt status display informs you for a certain amount of time which rear seat belt is not fas­tened. You can determine the status of the rear seat belt by the color of the seat symbol on the driver's dis­play as follows: R Gray: the rear seat belt is not fastened. R Green: the seat belt tongue of a rear seat belt is engaged in the seat belt buckle of the dis­played seat. R Red: the person in the rear seat has unfas­tened their seatbelt. Function of the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps (front passenger air bag) The PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display the status of the front passenger air bag. If the front passenger seat is occupied or a child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat, you must make sure both before and also during the journey that the status of the front passenger air bag is correct for the situation. & WARNING Risk of potentially fatal injuries due to objects trapped under the front passenger seat Objects trapped under the front passenger seat may interfere with the function of the automatic front passenger air bag shutoff or damage the system. # Do not stow any objects under the front passenger seat. # When the front passenger seat is occu­pied, ensure that no objects have become trapped beneath the front passenger seat. Self-test: when the vehicle is switched on, both the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps light up simultaneously for several seconds. After the self-test, you can determine the status of the front passenger air bag as follows: R Front passenger air bag disabled: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up continuously. The front passenger air bag will not be deployed in the event of an accident. If PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF is lit, no one may use the front passenger seat. If a rearward-facing child restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat, PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF must be lit continu­ously. R Front passenger air bag enabled: PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for up to 60 seconds or until both the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps go out. The front passenger air bag may be deployed during an accident. If the front passenger air bag is in this status, no rearward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat. % If you are driving with a child in the vehicle, observe the information in the chapter "Chil­dren in the vehicle" (/ page 62) & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to a disabled front passenger airbag The front passenger airbag is disabled when the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit. A person in the front passenger seat could then, for example, come into contact with the vehicle interior, especially if the person is sit­ting too close to the cockpit. If the front passenger seat is occupied, always ensure that: R The classification of the person in the front passenger seat is correct and the front passenger airbag is enabled or disabled in accordance with the person in the front passenger seat. R The front passenger seat has been moved as far back as possible. R The person is seated correctly. # Both before and during the journey, ensure that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct. Malfunction of the automatic front passenger air bag shutoff The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp and the 6 restraint system indicator lamp light up simultaneously. In this case, no one may use the front passenger seat and no child restraint system may be instal­led on the front passenger seat. Have the automatic front passenger air bag shut­off checked and repaired immediately at a quali­fied specialist workshop. Be sure to also observe the following further rela­ted subjects: R Child restraint system on the front passenger seat (/ page 66) Deactivating or activating the front passenger air bag The automatic front passenger air bag shutoff can deactivate or activate the front passenger air bag and front passenger knee bag according to the situation. This happens automatically as a result of the clas­sification of the person or child restraint system on the front passenger seat. You cannot manually deactivate or activate the front passenger air bag. Also observe the following information: R The status of the front passenger air bag, see "Function of the PASSENGER AIR BAG indica­tor lamps" (/ page 49) R Notes on using the front passenger seat, see "Information on the automatic front passenger air bag shutoff" (/ page 51) R If you are driving with a child in the vehicle, observe the chapter "Children in the vehicle" (/ page 62) Information on the child restraint system When installing a child restraint system, observe the notes in "Children in the vehicle" (/ page 62). Notes on the child restraint system on the front passenger seat & WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injuries if the front passenger air bag is enabled If the front passenger air bag is enabled, a child on the front passenger seat may be struck by the front passenger air bag in the event of an accident. # NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat with an ENA­BLED FRONT AIR BAG. This can result in the DEATH of or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD. Also pay particular attention to the notes on rear­ward-facing or forward-facing child restraint sys­tems on the front passenger seat (/ page 66). Notes for vehicles with belt air bag If you install a child restraint system on the left or right rear seat, pay particular attention to the information on the belt air bag in the rear seat belt: (/ page 60). Function of the automatic front passenger air bag shutoff A person on the front passenger seat must observe the following information: R Sit correctly (/ page 45). R Fasten the seat belt correctly (/ page 46). The automatic front passenger air bag shutoff can activate or deactivate the front passenger air bag and knee bag according to the situation. Make sure you observe the following information: R Status of the front passenger air bag: see "Function of the PASSENGER AIR BAG indica­tor lamps" (/ page 49). R When installing a child restraint system on the front passenger seat, observe the vehicle-spe­cific information (/ page 66). Status of the front passenger air bag in relation to the stature of the person: R Front passenger air bag disabled: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up continuously. The front passenger air bag will not be deployed in the event of an accident. If PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF is lit, no one may use the front passenger seat. R Front passenger air bag enabled: PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for up to 60 seconds or until both the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps go out. The front passenger air bag may be deployed during an accident. Observe the following information on the correct seat position (/ page 45). Vehicles with rear seats: a person of smaller stature should use a rear seat. System limits The front passenger air bag may otherwise be dis­abled by mistake, for example, in the following sit­uation: R The front passenger transfers their weight by supporting themselves on a vehicle armrest. R The front passenger sits in such a way that their weight is lifted off the seat surface. * NOTE Deployment of components of the restraint system when the front passenger seat is unoccupied In an accident, the components of the restraint system may deploy unnecessarily on the front passenger side if: R There are heavy objects on the front passenger seat. R The seat belt tongue is engaged in the seat belt buckle of the front passenger seat and the front passenger seat is unoccupied. # Store objects in a suitable place. # Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time. Depending on the accident situation detected, the window air bag on the front passenger side may deploy. The air bag will be deployed regardless of whether the front passenger seat is occupied. Function of PRE-SAFE® (anticipatory occupant protection) PRE-SAFE® is able to detect certain critical driv­ing situations and implement pre-emptive meas­ures to protect the vehicle occupants. PRE-SAFE® can implement the following meas­ures independently of each other: R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat and front passenger seat. R Closing the side windows. R Vehicles with sliding sunroof: closing the slid­ing sunroof. R Vehicles with memory function: moving the front passenger seat to a more favorable seat position. R Vehicles with multicontour seat: increasing the lateral support by inflating the seat side bol­sters of the seat backrest. R PRE-SAFE® Sound: provided that the multime­dia system is switched on, generating a brief noise signal to stimulate the innate protective mechanism of a person's hearing. * NOTE Damage caused by objects in the footwell or behind the seat The automatic adjustment of the seat position may result in damage to the seat and/or the object. # Stow objects in a suitable place. Backing up the PRE-SAFE® system measures If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive measures that were taken are reversed. You will need to perform certain settings yourself. # If the seat belt pre-tensioning is not reduced, move the seat backrest back slightly. The locking mechanism releases. Function of PRE-SAFE® PLUS (anticipatory occu­pant protection plus) PRE-SAFE® PLUS can detect certain impacts, par­ticularly an imminent rear impact, and take pre­emptive measures to protect the vehicle occu­pants. These measures cannot necessarily pre­vent an imminent impact. PRE-SAFE® PLUS can implement the following measures independently of each other: R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat and front passenger seat. R Increasing brake pressure when the vehicle is stationary. This brake application is canceled automatically when the vehicle pulls away. If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive measures that were taken are reversed. System limits The system will not initiate any action in the fol­lowing situations: R when backing up The system will not initiate any braking application in the following situations: R whilst driving or R when entering or exiting a parking space while using Active Parking Assist Function of PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE­SAFE® Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the front seat vehicle occupant's upper body towards the center of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly inflating an air cushion in the outer seat side bol­ster of the seat backrest on the side on which the impact is anticipated. This increases the distance between the door and the vehicle occupant. If PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side has been deployed or is faulty, the PRE-SAFE Pulse Side Inoperative See Operator's Manual display message appears (/ page 443). Seat belt adjustment function Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: after you have fastened the seat belt of the front seat, it may adjust itself against your body by pulling at the shoulder until somewhat tight. Do not hold the seat belt tightly while it is adjusting. This function is a reminder that all vehicle occu­ pants must wear their seat belts correctly. You can activate and deactivate the seat belt adjustment function using the multimedia system (/ page 54).

Overview of the automatic measures after an acci­dent Depending on the type and severity of the acci­dent, and depending on the vehicle's equipment, the following measures may be implemented, for example: R automatic braking (post-collision brake) R activating the hazard warning lamps R triggering an automatic emergency call (/ page 361) R switching off the drive system and high-volt­ age on-board electrical system R unlocking the vehicle doors R lowering the side windows R displaying the emergency guide on the central display R switching on the interior lighting Function of the post-collision brake after an acci­dent Depending on the accident situation, the post-col­lision brake can minimise the severity of a further collision or even avoid it. If an accident is detected, the post-collision brake can initiate automatic braking. When the vehicle has come to a standstill, the electric parking brake is automatically applied. The driver can cancel automatic braking by taking the following actions: R Braking more strongly than automatic braking R Fully depressing the accelerator pedal with force Overview of deployment situations (restraint sys­tem) Make sure that the following prerequisites in par­ticular have been met so that the components of the restraint system are able to provide the inten­ded level of protection: R Sit correctly (/ page 45). R Fasten the seat belt correctly (/ page 46). -Function of the seat belt warning lamp (/ page 48). -Function of the rear seat belt status dis­play (/ page 48). R The 6 restraint system warning lamp is not lit up after the self-test (/ page 47). R The PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps dis­play the correct status of the front passenger air bag (/ page 49). Depending on the detected deployment situation, the components of the restraint system can be activated or deployed independently of each other: R Emergency Tensioning Device: frontal impact, rear impact, side impact, rollover R Driver's air bag, front passenger air bag: fron­tal impact R Knee bag: frontal impact R Side impact air bag: side impact R Window curtain air bag: side impact, rollover, frontal impact R Belt air bag in the rear seat belt: frontal impact R PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side: side impact The installation location of an air bag is identified by the AIRBAG symbol (/ page 61). Observe the information on the function of the restraint system (/ page 55). Information on how the restraint system works How the restraint system functions depends on the severity of the impact detected and the appa­rent type of accident. For more information about types of accidents, see "Overview of deployment situations" (/ page 55). The activation thresholds for the components of the restraint system are determined based on the evaluation of the sensor values measured at vari­ous points in the vehicle. This process is pre-emp­tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the components of the restraint system must take place in good time at the start of the collision. Factors that can be seen and measured only after a collision has occurred cannot play a decisive role in air bag deployment. Nor do they provide an indication of air bag deployment. The vehicle may be deformed significantly without an air bag being deployed. This is the case if only parts that are relatively easily deformed are affec­ted and the rate of vehicle deceleration is not high. Conversely, an air bag may be deployed even though the vehicle suffers only minor defor­mation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitu­dinal members are hit, this may result in suffi­ciently high levels of vehicle deceleration. Depending on the apparent type of accident and the detected deployment situation, Emergency Tensioning Devices and/or air bags supplement the protection offered by a correctly worn seat belt. When enabled, an air bag can provide additional protection for the respective vehicle occupant. Potential protection provided by each air bag: R Knee bag: thigh, knee and lower leg R Driver's air bag, front passenger air bag: head and ribcage R Window curtain air bag: head R Side impact air bag: ribcage, also pelvis for front seat occupants However, no system available today can com­pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and air bag generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside. It is also not possible to completely rule out the risk of injury caused by the air bag deploying. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident. Take this into account, particu­larly if a Emergency Tensioning Device is triggered or an air bag deployed. If the Emergency Tensioning Devices are triggered or an air bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small amount of powder may also be released: R The bang will not generally affect your hearing. R In general, the powder released is not hazard­ ous to health but may cause short-term breathing difficulties to persons suffering from asthma or other pulmonary conditions. Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle immediately or open the window in order to prevent breathing difficulties. Air bags and pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices contain perchlorate material, which may require special handling or environmental protec­tion measures. National guidelines regarding waste disposal must be observed. In California, see https://dtsc.ca.gov/. Using the search func­tion, you will find information on perchlorate, for example. Information on the limited protection provided by the restraint system Risk due to the incorrect behavior of vehicle occu­pants Every vehicle occupant must make sure of the fol­lowing in particular: R They observe the information on the correct seat position (/ page 45). R There are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects in the pockets of their clothing. Store such objects in a suitable place. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to an incorrect seat position The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the seat backrest to an almost vertical position. In particular, you could slip beneath the seat­belt and become injured. # Adjust the seat properly before begin­ning your journey. # Always ensure that the seat backrest is in an almost vertical position and that the shoulder belt is routed across the center of your shoulder. Risk due to objects in the vehicle interior Every vehicle occupant must make sure of the fol­ lowing in particular: R They observe the information on the correct seat position (/ page 45). R There are no objects between the seat, door and door pillar (B-pillar). R There are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks. R There are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects in the pockets of their clothing. Store such objects in a suitable place. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to blocked seat belt buckle or seat belt anchorage Objects next to the front seat that block the seat belt buckle or the moving seat belt anchorage on the front seat impair the func­tion of the Emergency Tensioning Devices. # Before starting the journey, make sure that there are no objects around the seat belt buckle or between the front seat and door. & WARNING Risk of injury from objects in the deployment area of an airbag Objects in the deployment area of an airbag can hinder or prevent the correct deployment of the airbag. The airbag may then deploy in an uncontrolled manner and may even cause additional inju­ries to the vehicle occupants by deploying. This may be the case in particular if the airbag is integrated into the seat. # Always stow and secure objects cor­rectly. # Before commencing your journey, make sure that no objects are stowed in the deployment area of an airbag. The installation location of an air bag is identified by the AIRBAG (/ page 61) symbol. Risk due to installing accessories Do not attach accessories such as mobile naviga­tion devices, mobile phones or cup holders, within the deployment area of an air bag, e.g. on the cockpit, on the door, on the side window or on the side trim. In addition, no connecting cables, tensioning straps or retaining straps must be routed or attached to the vehicle within the deployment area of an air bag. Always comply with the acces­sory manufacturer's installation instructions and, in particular, the notes on suitable places for installation. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to unsuitable protective covers Unsuitable protective covers mean that air bags can no longer protect vehicle occupants as they are designed to do. # Use only protective covers approved by Mercedes-Benz for the seat in question. In addition, the function of the automatic passenger air bag deactivation may be restricted by an unsuitable protective cover. If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display the correct status of the front passenger air bag (/ page 49). Risk due to pets in the vehicle interior & WARNING Risk of accident and injury due to animals left unsecured or unattended in the vehicle If you leave animals in the vehicle unattended or unsecured, they could possibly press but­tons or switches. An animal may: R Activate vehicle equipment and become trapped, for example R Switch systems on or off and endanger other road users Unsecured animals may be thrown around in the vehicle in the event of an accident or sud­den steering and braking maneuvers and injure vehicle occupants in the process. # Never leave animals in the vehicle unat­tended. # Always correctly secure animals while driving, e.g. using a suitable animal car­rier. Risk due to modification, damage or wear to the components of the restraint system & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to modifications to the restraint system Vehicle occupants may no longer be protected as intended if alterations are made to the restraint system. # Never alter the parts of the restraint sys­tem. # Never tamper with the wiring or any elec­tronic component parts or their soft­ware. If it is necessary to modify the vehicle to accom­modate a person with disabilities, contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for details. USA only: for details, contact our Customer Assis­tance Center on 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372). & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to damaged or modified seat belts Seat belts cannot provide protection in the fol­lowing situations: R The seat belt is damaged, has been modi­fied, is extremely dirty, bleached or dyed R The seat belt buckle is damaged or extremely dirty R Modifications have been made to the Emergency Tensioning Device, seat belt anchorage or seat belt retractor Seat belts may sustain non-visible damage in an accident, e.g. due to glass splinters. Modified or damaged seat belts could tear or fail in the event of an accident, for example. Modified Emergency Tensioning Devices could accidentally trigger or fail to function as inten­ded. # Never modify the seat belt system, for example the seat belt, seat belt buckle, Emergency Tensioning Device, seat belt anchorage and seat belt retractor. # Make sure that the seat belts are undam­aged, not worn and clean. # Always have the seat belts checked immediately after an accident at a quali­fied specialist workshop. Use only seat belts that have been approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz. & WARNING Risk of injury due to modifica­tions to the cover of an airbag If you change the cover of an airbag or attach objects, e.g. even stickers, to it, the airbag may no longer function as intended. # Never modify the cover of an airbag. # Do not attach any objects to the cover. The installation location of an air bag is identified by the air bag symbol (/ page 61). & WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc­tioning sensors in the door The function of the airbags can be impaired due to modifications or incorrect work per­formed on the doors or door trim, or if the doors are damaged. # Never modify the doors or parts of the doors. # Always have work on the doors or door trim carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Risk due to components of the restraint system that have already been deployed Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident. & WARNING Risk of burns from hot air bag components The air bag parts are hot after an air bag has been deployed. # Do not touch the air bag parts. # Have a deployed air bag replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible. & WARNING Risk of injury due to deployed airbag A deployed airbag no longer offers any protec­tion. # Have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop in order to have the deployed airbag replaced. Have deployed air bags replaced immediately. & WARNING Risk of injury or death from deployed pyrotechnic Emergency Tension­ing Devices Pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices that have been deployed are no longer opera­tional and are unable to perform their inten­ded protective function. # Therefore, have deployed pyrotechnic Emergency Tensioning Devices immedi­ately replaced at a qualified specialist workshop. Information on the belt air bag in the rear seat belt The BELTBAG identification indicates that a rear seat belt is equipped with a belt air bag. When activated, the belt air bag increases the protected area of the vehicle occupant's ribcage. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to use of an unsuitable child restraint system If you attach a child restraint system using a seat belt equipped with a belt air bag, the belt air bag may damage the child restraint system in the event of an accident or the belt air bag itself can be damaged. # Always secure a child restraint system with an integrated harness system with ISOFIX. # Also secure Top Tether if present. # Never secure a child restraint system with a seat belt equipped with a belt air bag. # Instead, mount the child restraint system e.g. on the front passenger seat. If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure that the status of the front passenger air bag is correct for the current situation (/ page 49). Observe the information on the function of the automatic front passenger air bag shut off (/ page 51). Straightening out a twisted rear seat belt with a belt air bag If the rear seat belt with a belt air bag is twisted, you must straighten it out before fastening the seat belt tongue. # Slide the seat belt tongue upward to the seat belt outlet and hold it. # Pull out the seat belt completely and hold it. The seat belt tongue is now at the more nar­row part of the seat belt strap. # Turn the seat belt strap in the seat belt tongue slit until it is in the correct position. # Slide the seat belt tongue downward and allow the seat belt to retract completely. Releasing seat belts # Press the release button in the seat belt buckle and guide the seat belt back with the seat belt tongue. * NOTE Damage caused by trapping the seat belt If an unused seat belt is not fully retracted, it may become trapped in the door or in the seat mechanism. # Always ensure that an unused seat belt is fully retracted.

Basic information Be diligent Bear in mind that negligence when securing a child in the child restraint system may have seri­ous consequences. Always be diligent in securing a child carefully before every journey. Never allow babies and children to travel sitting on the lap of another vehicle occupant. To improve protection for children younger than 12 years old or under 5 ft (1.50 m) in height, Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the fol­lowing information: R Always secure the child in a child restraint sys­tem suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehicle. R The child restraint system must be appropriate to the age, weight and size of the child. R The vehicle seat must be suitable for the child restraint system to be installed: Accident statistics show that children secured on the rear seats are generally safer than children secured on the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install a child restraint system on a rear seat. The generic term child restraint system The generic term child restraint system is used in this Operator's Manual. A child restraint system is, for example: R a baby car seat R a rearward-facing child seat R a forward-facing child seat R a child booster seat – Mercedes-Benz recom­ mends using a child booster seat with a back­rest and seat belt guide. Observe laws and legal requirements Always observe the legal requirements when using a child restraint system in the vehicle. Securing systems for child restraint systems in the vehicle Use only the following securing systems for child restraint systems: R the ISOFIX mounting brackets R the vehicle's seat belt system R the Top Tether anchorages Simply attaching to the ISOFIX mounting brackets on the vehicle can reduce the risk of installing the child restraint system incorrectly. When securing a child with the integrated seat belt of the ISOFIX child restraint system, always comply with the permissible gross weight for the child and child restraint system (/ page 71). A child booster seat may be necessary to achieve proper seat belt positioning for children over 40 lbs (18 kg) in weight or until they reach a height where a three-point seat belt can be instal­led properly without a child booster seat. Mercedes-Benz recommends a suitable child booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide. Observe standards for child restraint systems All child restraint systems must meet the following standards: R U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 R Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 213 Confirmation that the child restraint system com­plies with the standards can be found on an instruction label on the child restraint system. This confirmation can also be found in the instal­lation instructions that are included with the child restraint system.

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit. # NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat with an ENA­BLED FRONT AIRBAG; DEATH or SERI­OUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur. % Depending on the child restraint system and the stature of the child, the front passenger air bag is enabled. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp does not light up. The front passenger air bag may be deployed during an accident. If the front passenger air bag is in this status, no rearward-facing child restraint system may be installed on the front passenger seat. Instead, install the rearward-facing child restraint system on a suitable rear seat. Forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat If a forward-facing child restraint system is instal­led on the front passenger seat, the front passenger air bag may be automatically enabled or disabled. The status of the front passenger air bag depends on the child restraint system and the stature of the child. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp either lights up continuously or does not light up (/ page 49). Always observe the following infor­mation. & WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrect positioning of the child restraint system If you secure a child in a forward-facing child restraint system on the co-driver seat and you position the co-driver seat too close to the dashboard, in the event of an accident, the child could: R come into contact with the vehicle's inte­rior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indi­cator lamp is lit, for example R be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off # Always move the co-driver seat as far back as possible. In doing so, always make sure that the shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the seat belt outlet of the vehicle to the shoulder belt guide on the child restraint system. The shoul­der belt strap must be routed forwards and downwards from the seat belt outlet. If necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet and the co-driver seat accordingly. # Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions. Be sure to also observe the following further rela­ted subjects: R Function of the automatic front passenger air bag shutoff (/ page 49) Notes for vehicles with belt air bag When securing a child in a child restraint system on an outer rear seat with a belt air bag, it is essential to observe the following instructions: R Do not use belt-secured child restraint sys­tems other than the approved KIDFIX XP and AMG KIDFIX XP. R Secure a rearward-facing child restraint sys­tem using the ISOFIX mounting brackets. R Secure a forward-facing child restraint system with the ISOFIX mounting brackets and, if present, the Top Tether anchorage. R Observe the notes in "Belt air bag in rear seat belt" (/ page 60). Information on the advantage of a rearward-facing child restraint system Transport a baby in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint system only. It is also preferable to transport a small child in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint system. In this case, the child sits in the opposite direction to the direction of travel and faces backwards. Babies and small children have comparatively weak neck muscles in relation to the size and weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer­vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a rearward-facing child restraint system. Adjusting the seat correctly When installing a child restraint system on the left or right rear seat, always observe the following: # Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat slightly forwards. If the head restraint of the child restraint system cannot be fully extended when it is installed in the vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the maxi­mum size setting for certain child restraint sys­tems. Observe the child restraint system manu­facturer's installation instructions. % Contact with the roof when the head restraint is fully extended and locked in place will not result in any restrictions on use. ® When installing an ISOFIX child restraint system, also observe the following: # When using a rearward-facing child restraint system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so that it does not touch the child restraint sys­tem. # When using a forward-facing child restraint system with integrated child seat belt: adjust the head restraint of the respective seat so that it does not push the child restraint system forwards.

Observe the following notes on vehicle noise emissions and the acoustic vehicle alerting sys­tem: R The vehicle is equipped with an all-electric drive system and produces considerably lower stationary and vehicle noise emissions than a vehicle with a combustion engine. For this reason the vehicle is equipped with a sound generator, which serves as an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This safety device is prescribed by law. The external noise of the sound generator is perceptible in the vehicle interior when the vehicle is stationary and at low speeds and does not represent a malfunction. R The sound generator generates stationary noise and speed-dependent vehicle noise emissions up to a speed of around 25 mph (30 km/h). This helps other road users, particularly pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle better. R When you drive at speeds above 20 mph (20 km/h) the acoustic vehicle alerting sys­tem will gradually switch off. R Despite the sound generator, the vehicle still may not be heard by other road users. Adapt your driving style accordingly.

Notes on breaking-in a new vehicle R In certain handling and driving safety systems, the sensors adjust automatically while a cer­tain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full sys­tem effectiveness is reached only when this teaching-in process has concluded. R Brake pads, brake disks and tires that are either new or have been replaced achieve opti­mum braking effect and grip only after several hundred kilometers. Compensate the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal. Notes on acceleration increase % Acceleration increase is not available for all models and versions. % This function is an on-demand feature (/ page 29). When the function is activated, a higher maximum power is available for the vehicle and the acceler­ation characteristics are improved. This does not change the maximum design speed of the vehicle. Due to the increased power, there may be changes in the electric range. Notes on driving & WARNING Risk of accident due to objects in the driver's footwell Objects in the driver's footwell may impede pedal travel or block a depressed pedal. This jeopardizes the operating and road safety of the vehicle. # Stow all objects in the vehicle securely so that they cannot get into the driver's footwell. # Always install the floor mats securely and as prescribed in order to ensure that there is always sufficient room for the pedals. # Do not use loose floor mats and do not place floor mats on top of one another. & WARNING Risk of accident due to incor­rect footwear Incorrect footwear includes, for example: R Shoes with platform soles R Shoes with high heels R Slippers There is a risk of an accident. # Always wear suitable footwear so that you can operate the pedals safely. & WARNING Risk of accident if the vehicle is switched off while driving If you switch off the vehicle while driving, safety functions are restricted or no longer available. This may affect the power steering system and the brake force boosting, for example. You will need to use considerably more force to steer and brake, for example. # Do not switch off the vehicle while driv­ing. & WARNING Risk of accident and injury due to being under the influence of alcohol and drugs while driving Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and driving are very dangerous combinations. Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can affect your reflexes, perceptions and judgment. The possibility of a serious or even fatal acci­dent are greatly increased when you drink or take drugs and drive. # Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow anyone to drive who has been drinking or taking drugs. & WARNING Risk of accident due to the brake system overheating If you leave your foot on the brake pedal when driving, the brake system may overheat. This increases the braking distance and the brake system can even fail. # Never use the brake pedal as a footrest. # Do not depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time while driving. * NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to not observing the maximum permitted head­room clearance If the vehicle height is greater than the maxi­mum permitted headroom clearance, the roof and other parts of the vehicle may be dam­aged. # Observe the signposted headroom clear­ance. # If the vehicle height is greater than the permitted headroom clearance, do not enter. # Observe the changed vehicle height with add-on roof equipment. % Please bear in mind that all the speed values stated in this Operator's Manual are approxi­mate and are subject to a certain tolerance. Notes on driving with a roof load, trailer or fully laden vehicle When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu­pied vehicle, the vehicle's driving and steering characteristics change. You should therefore bear the following in mind: R Do not exceed the permissible roof load and towing capacity. Also observe the information in the Technical Data. R Distribute the roof load and the load inside the vehicle evenly, placing heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply with the notes on loading the vehicle (/ page 128). R Drive attentively, and avoid abrupt starts, brak­ing and steering as well as rapid cornering. Advice on driving on salt-strewn roads The braking effect is limited on salt-strewn road surfaces. Therefore, observe the following notes: R Due to salt build-up on the brake disks and brake pads, the braking distance can increase considerably or result in one-sided braking. R Maintain a much greater safety distance to the vehicle traveling in front. Remove salt build-up as follows: R Brake occasionally, paying attention to the traffic conditions R Carefully depress the brake pedal at the end of the journey and when starting the next jour­ney Notes on hydroplaning Hydroplaning can take place if a certain depth of water has built up on the road surface. Observe the following notes during heavy precipi­tation or in conditions in which hydroplaning may occur: R Reduce speed R Avoid tire ruts R Avoid sudden steering movements R Brake carefully % Also observe the notes on regularly checking wheels and tires (/ page 402). Notes on driving through water on the road Water ingress can damage the drive system, elec­ trics and transmission. Observe the following if you have to drive through water: R The water, when calm, may reach no higher than the lower edge of the vehicle body. R Drive at walking pace at most; water may oth­erwise enter the vehicle interior. R Vehicles traveling in front, or oncoming vehi­cles, can create waves which may exceed the maximum permissible depth of water. The braking effect of the brakes is reduced after fording. Brake carefully, paying attention to the traffic conditions until braking power has been fully restored. Function of rear axle steering % This function is an on-demand feature (/ page 29). The rear axle steering is an electromechanical auxiliary steering on the rear axle which adjusts the steering of the rear wheels according to the position of the front wheels, depending on the speed. This results in greater maneuverability and improved driving stability, e.g. when cornering. Rear axle steering has the following characteris­tics: R reduced steering effort and turning circle resulting in reduced parking effort R improved driving stability, e.g. when cornering R more direct steering resulting in improved handling of the vehicle Observe the notes on snow chains and snow chain mode (/ page 403). ECO display function The ECO display shows an evaluation of your driv­ing style on the driver's display depending on the situation. This enables you to check the efficiency of your driving style and adjust it if necessary. The ECO Display menu shows a ball 2 that will roll forwards or backwards on a stylized road in the direction of travel according to the driving charac­teristics. Above and below the road, lines mark the area for an efficient driving style 3. Ball 2 will light up in green if it is rolling within these lines. Outside the lines, the ball will light up in orange. The ECO display assesses the following criteria for an economical driving style: R Coasting at the right times R Consistent speed R Moderate acceleration The overall assessment of your driving style "from start" is indicated using stars 1. It starts with five empty stars, which you can fill one after the other if you drive efficiently. When all five stars are filled, a glow will appear in the background. % You can call up the ECO Display function via the Classic menu (/ page 298). Recuperative brake system ¦Function of the recuperative brake system Depending on the selected recuperation level, the electric motors will be operated as an alternator when in overrun mode and during braking in order to charge the high-voltage battery during driving. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in motion and in trans­mission position h, recuperation in overrun mode will be initiated. The higher the recuperation, the stronger the braking effect will be during coasting and the more electrical energy will be fed into the high-voltage battery. The deceleration in overrun mode may not be suf­ficient depending on the driving conditions. Also brake with the service brake if necessary. Always adapt your speed to the driving conditions and keep a sufficient distance. The recuperative brake system has the following characteristics: R supports braking with electronically controlled brake force boosting R converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy % If you brake hard, the mechanical brake will also be used. This means that the maximum recuperative energy cannot be recovered. The more you drive and brake in an anticipatory manner, the more efficiently energy can be recuperated. System limits The braking effect of the electric motor during recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or may not be available at all in the following situa­tions: R when the high-voltage battery state of charge increases R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor­mal operating temperature In these cases, the desired deceleration will be set by the brake control system. ¦Manually setting recuperative deceleration You can use the steering wheel paddle shifters to manually adjust the intensity of recuperation in overrun mode. % When the vehicle is started again, h is auto­matically set as the recuperation level. The following recuperation levels are available: R hà Intelligent and anticipatory recupera­tion with ECO Assist (/ page 195) R hq No recuperation: the vehicle coasts, rolls freely R h Normal recuperation (standard setting) R h± Increased recuperation: increased deceleration in overrun mode # To increase recuperation: briefly pull paddle shifter 1. # To reduce recuperation: briefly pull paddle shifter 2. # To select hÃ: If hq has been selected, briefly pull paddle shifter 2. Otherwise pull and hold paddle shifter 1 or 2. % If hà has been selected, briefly pulling paddle shifter 2 again reactivates hq. The driver's display shows the currently selected recuperation level next to the transmission posi­tion display. ECO Assist ¦ECO Assist function ECO Assist is only an aid. It is not a substitute for you paying attention to your surroundings and does not relieve you of your responsibility pertain­ing to road traffic law. The driver is responsible for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good time. & WARNING Risk of accident if ECO Assist does not provide sufficient deceleration ECO Assist only brakes your vehicle when you take your foot off the gas pedal. If vehicles are detected late, e.g. after tight curves, or if you do not react immediately to the ECO Assist display, the deceleration may not be sufficient. # React promptly to the ECO Assist recom­mendation and take your foot off the gas pedal. # Adjust your speed to the driving condi­tions and maintain a suitable distance from the vehicle in front. # Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take evasive action. ECO Assist is active only in hà (/ page 195). Depending on the vehicle's equipment, ECO Assist analyzes data for the vehicle's expected route. This allows the system to optimally adjust the driving style for the route ahead, use minimal energy and recuperate as much as possible. If the system has detected an event ahead or a vehicle in front and the vehicle is approaching the event, ECO Assist will calculate an optimized speed pro­file based on the distance, speed and available route information. If you release the accelerator pedal in this case, intelligent recuperation will start in overrun mode. If ECO Assist has detected a vehicle traveling in front or a stationary vehicle ahead, it can brake your vehicle to a standstill. This may be the case, for example, at the end of a traffic jam or if the detected vehicle ahead stops in front of you. If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not sufficient, you must also brake with the service brake. This is especially the case if, for example, you pull away again in slow-moving traffic and the distance to the vehicle in front is very short. Depending on the vehicle equipment and at low speeds, e.g. in a parking garage or on play streets, no adjustment will be made for stationary vehicles and therefore there will be no display. 1 "Foot off the accelerator" recommendation 2 Route event ahead % ECO Assist can also be shown on the head-up display. If a route event that requires an adjustment of your driving style is detected ahead, correspond­ing symbol 2 and the ý symbol (gray) will be displayed. If you release the accelerator pedal, the ý symbol will turn green and recuperation in over­run mode will be initiated. If the deceleration is not sufficient, also apply the service brake. If ECO Assist intervenes for a route event ahead and you then press the accelerator pedal, ECO Assist's control is ended. This does not apply in the case of a vehicle traveling in front. The ECO Assist display is hidden again in the fol­lowing cases: R You do not react to the ECO Assist recommen­dation for a long time. R You press the accelerator while ECO Assist is intervening for a route event ahead. This does not apply in the case of a vehicle traveling in front. R ECO Assist cannot identify any further recom­mendations from the route ahead. In addition to a vehicle in front ¥, ECO Assist can detect the following route events 2 depend­ing on the vehicle's equipment: ~ Traffic circle ¡ S-curve ¢ Sharp curve £ T-intersection ¤ Downhill gradient ¦ Speed limit ECO Assist can also react to other intersections or turns if you activate the turn signal indicator in good time. % On roads with an obligation to drive in a lane as far to the right as possible, vehicles driving in the lane to your left will also be recognized as vehicles ahead of you. To enable ECO Assist to react to future route events, the equipment-dependent speed adapta­tion functions of Active Distance Assist must be active (/ page 246). System limits If the calculated route is adhered to when route guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with greater accuracy. The basic function is also availa­ble without active route guidance. Not all informa­tion and traffic situations can be foreseen. The quality depends on the map data. % ECO Assist will be available after driving off, as soon as the sensor check is completed. The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations: R If there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray. R If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections. R If the windshield is dirty in the vicinity of the multifunction camera. R If the multifunction camera is fogged up, dam­aged or obscured. R If road signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or because they are obscured. R If the information in the navigation system's digital map is incorrect or out of date. R If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road­works or in adjacent lanes. R If the radar sensors are dirty or obscured. R When you drive on roads with steep uphill or downhill gradients. R If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as bicycles or motorcycles. ¦Activating and deactivating ECO Assist Multimedia system: 4 © 5 Settings 5 Assistance 5 Driving # Activate or deactivate the function.

Range maximization ¦Range maximization function The range maximization function enables a maxi­mum range gain. To achieve this, the function par­tially or completely switches off convenience sys­tems that are not relevant to driving and activates efficiency-enhancing driving functions. The range maximization function controls the restrictions of the following function groups: R Climate control -Restricting climate control functions and deactivating front windshield, rear window and mirror heating R Interior -Switching off ambient lighting, displays and certain charging functions R Seating comfort -Deactivating the steering wheel heater, seat heating and ventilation and deactivat­ing the massage function R ECO drive functions -Changing to the ; drive program, acti­vating ECO Assist and the hà recu­peration level If necessary, you can deactivate the restrictions of individual function groups again. This will reduce the maximum range gain by the value specified for the function group. If you switch on a deactivated function while range maximization is activated, all restrictions of the corresponding function group will be removed and the maximum range gain will be reduced accordingly. For example, if you switch on the seat heating again, all restrictions of the "Seating comfort" function group will be deactivated. This does not apply to the "ECO driving functions" group, as the range gain in this case depends mainly on your personal driving style. The activa­ted ECO driving functions help you to drive in an energy-efficient manner.

The flexible all-wheel distribution of the 4MATIC means the drive is always ideally distributed between both axles. Depending on the situation, only the front axle or only the rear axle can be driven, or the drive can be distributed continu­ously between both axles. This means that recuperation can be used even more effectively and the range of the vehicle can be increased (/ page 194). Together with ESP® and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven wheel spins due to insufficient traction. If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. 4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible especially for main­taining a safe distance from the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. % In wintry road conditions, the maximum effect of the flexible all-wheel distribution can be achieved only if you use winter tires (M+S tires), with snow chains if necessary. Notes on charging the high-voltage battery * NOTE High-voltage battery damage due to leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods of time Lithium-ion batteries experience a natural self- discharge. Exhaustive discharging can therefore occur if the vehicle is idle for several months. This can damage the high-voltage battery. # To avoid damage, please observe the fol­lowing recommendations when handling the high-voltage battery. * NOTE Accelerated aging of the high-volt­age battery due to not observing the fol­lowing recommendations As a result of its basic characteristics, the storage capacity of and the amount of energy available from the high-voltage battery decrea­ses over the course of its life. Due to this, both the maximum electrical range that can be ach­ieved by the vehicle and its maximum electri­cal output can be impaired. The following factors could accelerate the aging of the high-voltage battery: R Frequent full charging (condition of charge 100%) of the high-voltage battery, in partic­ular without subsequently driving directly afterwards R Frequent rapid charging with direct current (mode 4) R Leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods at high ambient temperatures # To avoid accelerated aging, please observe the following recommendations when handling the high-voltage battery. Recommendations for handling the high-voltage battery: R Every six months, when the outside tempera­ture is above 50°F (10°C), park the vehicle overnight with a state of charge below 20%. R Charge the high-voltage battery with direct current (mode 4) only if necessary. R Charge the high-voltage battery to a state of charge of 80% on average. Beyond a state of charge of 80%, charging time will be prolonged considerably. R If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods, park up the vehicle with a high-voltage battery state of charge between 30% and 50%. Do not keep the high-voltage battery continuously connected to power supply equipment. R If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods of time avoid high ambient temperatures if possi­ble. R Check the high-voltage battery's state of charge every six weeks (/ page 218). R Charge the high-voltage battery if the state of charge is below 20%. R Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the vehicle is left idle for a lengthy period. Other­wise, the condition of the vehicle's high-volt­age battery cannot be monitored. You can contribute to reducing the vehicle's energy consumption in the following ways: R An anticipatory driving style (/ page 194) R Reduced use of electrical consumers R Having the vehicle regularly maintained The charging time of the high-voltage battery may change over the course of its life. You can charge the high-voltage battery with both alternating current (mode 2 or 3) and direct cur­rent (mode 4). Charging options for the high-voltage battery (mode 2, 3 or 4): R Charging through recuperation while the vehi­ cle is in motion R AC charging when stationary: -at a mains socket (mode 2) -at a wallbox or charging station (mode 3) R DC charging when stationary: -at a rapid charging station (mode 4) Depending on the country-specific vehicle equip­ment and your vehicle's charging cable, single-phase AC charging is also possible. Observe the different grid requirements of your current location when charging. Use only charging cables that conform to the grid requirements. Consult a qualified electrician or your local grid operator if you have any questions. It is recommended that you charge the high-volt­age battery at a wallbox or charging station due to the improved charging performance and better charging efficiency offered. System limits The power output of the high-voltage battery may be impaired by the following: R High or low outside temperatures R Electrical auxiliary consumers in the vehicle being switched on, e.g. the air conditioning system being operated R Extended periods without charging The charging time of the high-voltage battery may be increased by the following: R High or low outside temperatures R Extended periods without charging R The maximum available charge current of the charging facility R The settings of the charging process in the multimedia system (/ page 219) Stowing the charging cable Always stow the vehicle's charging cable in the charging cable bag provided and secure the charging cable bag in the trunk or cargo compart­ment with the included retaining strap. Otherwise, the charging cable bag with the charging cable is down ring 3. Do not use bag hooks to attach the not sufficiently secured. retaining strap. # Feed the loop end of retaining strap 2 through cargo tie-down ring 3 into the trunk or cargo compartment. # Feed the end with the snap hook through the loop of retaining strap 2. # Tighten retaining strap 2 so that the knot around cargo tie-down ring 3 is tight and secure. # Hook the snap hook of retaining strap 2 in a cargo tie-down ring of charging cable bag 1. Notes on charging the high-voltage battery at the mains socket (mode 2) & DANGER Risk of fatal injury from incor­rectly installed component parts Connecting the charging cable to a mains socket using incorrectly installed component parts could cause a fire or an electric shock, for example. # Only connect the charging cable to a mains socket that: R has been properly installed and R has been inspected by a qualified electri­cian # For safety reasons, only use the charging cable supplied with the vehicle or an original Mercedes-Benz charging cable. # Purchase these parts at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center and obtain advice there. Mercedes-Benz thoroughly tests these original charging cables for their suitability for high-voltage charging of your vehicle. # Never use a damaged charging cable. # Do not use: R extension cables R extension reels R multiple sockets # Never use socket adapters to connect the charging cable to the mains socket. The only exception being if the adapter has been tested and approved by the manufacturer for charging the high-volt­age battery of an electric vehicle. # Observe the safety notes in the operat­ing instructions for the socket adapter. Only the following charging cables may be used: R the charging cable supplied with the vehicle. R a charging cable that has been approved for the vehicle. The charging process can vary depending on the power supply equipment. The charging times when charging the high-voltage battery at the mains socket are considerably longer than when charging at a wallbox or charging station. When doing so, always observe the local informa­ tion. Do not leave the charging cable controls hanging loose from a mains socket. Do not lift the controls by the following compo­nent parts: R the charging cable connector R the mains plug When charging, protect the charging cable control element from excessive heat such as direct sun­light. Otherwise, the charging process may be canceled.

Information on vehicle sensors and cameras Driving systems and your responsibility Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems that assist you in driving, parking and maneuvering the vehicle. The driving systems are only aids. They are not a substitute for you paying attention to your surroundings and do not relieve you of your responsibility pertaining to road traffic law. The driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. Pay attention to the traffic conditions at all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the limitations regarding the safe use of these sys­tems. Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor override the laws of physics. They cannot always take into account road, weather or traffic condi­tions. % Some driving systems can regulate or limit the speed to a previously set value. Draw atten­ tion to the stored speed when changing driv­ ers. Some driving and driving safety systems use cam­eras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle. 1 Multifunction camera 2 Cameras in the outside mirrors 3 Front radar 4 Front camera 5 Corner radars 6 Ultrasonic sensors 7 Rear view camera & WARNING Risk of accident due to restric­ted detection performance of vehicle sen­sors and cameras If the area around vehicle sensors or cameras is covered, damaged or dirty, certain driving and safety systems cannot function correctly. There is a risk of an accident. # Keep the area around vehicle sensors or cameras clear of any obstructions and clean. # Have damage to the bumper, radiator grille or stone chipping in the area of the front and rear windows repaired at a qualified specialist workshop. Particularly, keep the areas around the sensors and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush (/ page 379). The sensors and cameras must not be covered and the detection ranges around them must be kept free. Do not attach additional license plate brackets, advertisements, stickers, foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in the detection range of the sensors and cameras. Make sure that there are no overhanging loads protruding into the detection range. If a bumper or the radiator grill is damaged or after an impact, have the function of the sensors checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

ATTENTION ASSIST ¦Function of ATTENTION ASSIST ATTENTION ASSIST assists you on long, monoto­nous journeys, e.g. on highways and trunk roads. If indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in con­centration on the part of the driver are detected, the system suggests taking a break. ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot always detect fatigue or lapses in concentration in time. The system is not a substitute for a well-res­ted and attentive driver. On long journeys, take regular breaks in good time that allow for ade­quate recuperation. You can choose between two settings: R Standard: normal system sensitivity. R Sensitive: higher system sensitivity. The driver is warned earlier and the attention level detec­ ted by ATTENTION ASSIST is adapted accord­ ingly. If fatigue or increasing inattention is detected, the warning appears in the driver display: ATTEN­TION ASSIST: Take a Break!. you can acknowl­edge the message and take a break if necessary. If you do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST continues to detect increasing lapses in concen­tration, you will be warned again after a minimum of 15 minutes. If ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate the attention level and cannot issue a warning, the System Suspended message appears. If the driver display shows a warning, a service area search is offered in the multimedia system. You can select a rest area and start navigation to this rest area. When you restart the vehicle, ATTENTION ASSIST is automatically switched on. The last selected sensitivity level remains stored. -The more segments 1 of the circle dis­played, the higher the detected attention level. -Fewer segments 1 are displayed in the circle as the attention level decreases. System limits ATTENTION ASSIST is active in the 37 mph (60 km/h) to 124 mph (200 km/h) speed range. The microsleep detection function is available at a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h) and above. If the system is not available due to an error, the ATTENTION ASSIST warning light is permanently lit Û in the driver display Particularly in the following situations, ATTENTION ASSIST functions only in a restricted manner and warnings may be delayed or not occur: R If you have been driving for less than approx­imately 30 minutes. R If the road condition is poor (uneven road sur­face or potholes). R If there is a strong side wind. R If you adopt a sporty driving style (high corner­ing speeds or high rates of acceleration). R If the Steering Assist function of Active Dis­tance Assist DISTRONIC is active. R If the clock is set to the incorrect time. R If you change lanes and vary your speed fre­quently in active driving situations. Also observe any information regarding display messages that can be displayed in the driver's display. The ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness or alertness assessment is reset and restarted when continu­ing the journey in the following situations: R You switch off the vehicle. R If you unfasten your seat belt and open the driver's door (e.g. to change drivers or take a break). ¦Setting ATTENTION ASSIST Multimedia system: 4 © 5 Settings 5 Assistance 5 Assistance 5 ATTENTION ASSIST Setting the sensitivity # Select Z next to ATTENTION ASSIST. # Select Standard or Sensitive. Speed control cruise control ¦Function of cruise control Cruise control regulates the speed to the value selected by the driver. If you accelerate to overtake, forexample, the stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking, cruise control will resume speed regulation back to the stored speed. You can store any speed above 15 mph (20 km/h) up to the maximum design speed, or up to the speed recommended by Range Assis­tant. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). Mercedes-AMG vehicles: cruise control is availa­ble up to a maximum speed of 155 mph (250 km/h). Displays in the driver's display R h (gray): cruise control is selected but not yet active, or temporarily passive. R h (green): cruise control is active. A stored speed appears under the h display and is indicated in the speedometer. System limits Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out. Increase recuperation in good time on long and steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you will make use of the electric motor's braking effect to charge the high-voltage battery. This relieves the load on the brake system and pre­vents the brakes from overheating and wearing too quickly. Do not use cruise control in the following situa­ tions: R in traffic situations which require frequent changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on winding roads R on slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid. R when visibility is poor ¦Operating cruise control & WARNING Risk of accident due to stored speed If you call up the stored speed and this is lower than your current speed, the vehicle decelerates. # Take into account the traffic situation before calling up the stored speed.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC ¦Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles are detected ahead, the set distance will be main­tained, until the vehicle comes to a standstill if necessary. The vehicle will accelerate or brake depending on the distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in front are set and saved using the steer­ing wheel. Available speed range: R Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package: 15 mph (20 km/h) - 100 mph (160 km/h) R Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: 15 mph (20 km/h) -130 mph (210 km/h) % The adjustable set speed may differ if a limit speed (e.g. winter tire limit) is stored. % If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active and the range monitor recommends a lower driving speed, this will automatically be adop­ted as the new set speed. If necessary, the set speed can be increased again manually. Other features of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC: R Adjusts the driving style depending on the selected drive program (energy-saving, com­fortable or dynamic) (/ page 199) R Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if the turn signal indicator is switched on to change to the overtaking lane R Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: -Reacts to stationary vehicles detected in urban speed ranges (except bicycles and motorcycles) -Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions into account on highways or on multi-lane roads with separate roadways (country­dependent) % It is possible to set the driving mode of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC on the DYNAMIC SELECT menu. Depending on which drive pro­gram is selected, the driving characteristics can be geared towards energy economy, com­fort or dynamic performance. The driving style can be permanently set to Comfort or Dynamic on the Active Distance Assist menu (/ page 246). Vehicles with Active Parking Assist and Driving Assistance Package: if Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has braked the vehicle to a standstill, it can automatically follow the vehicle in front when it drives off again within 30 seconds. If a critical situation is detected in the surrounding area when the vehicle drives off, such as a person in the path of the vehicle, a visual and acoustic warning will be given indicating that the driver must now take control of the vehicle. The vehicle will not be accelerated any further. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). Display on the driver's display on the Assistance menu your vehicle in situations where it is not permitted to overtake on the right, such as on highways. Permanent status display R ç (grey): Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC selected but not yet active R ç (green speedometer, white vehicle): Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC active, speed set R ç (green): Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC active and vehicle detected The stored speed will be shown under the perma­nent status display and highlighted on the speed­ometer. When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is passive, the status display will be greyed out. If the speed of the vehicle in front or the speed adjustment is less than the stored speed due to the route event ahead, the segments on the speedometer will light up.

R The windshield in the area of the camera is dirty, fogged up, damaged or obscured. R If the radar sensors are dirty or obscured. R In parking garages or on roads with steep gra­dients. R If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as bicycles or motorcycles. In addition, on slippery roads, braking or acceler­ating can cause one or several wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid. Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in these situations. & WARNING Risk of accident from accelera­tion or braking by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accel­erate or brake in the following cases, for example: R If the vehicle pulls away using Active Dis­tance Assist DISTRONIC. R If the stored speed is called up and is con­siderably faster or slower than the cur­rently driven speed. R If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no longer detects a vehicle in front or does not react to relevant objects. # Always carefully observe the traffic con­ditions and be ready to brake at all times. # Take into account the traffic situation before calling up the stored speed. & WARNING Risk of accident due to insuffi­cient deceleration by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your vehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceler­ation. If this deceleration is not sufficient, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and acoustic warning. # Adjust your speed and maintain a suita­ble distance from the vehicle in front. # Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take evasive action. & WARNING Risk of accident if detection function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is impaired Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC does not react or has a limited reaction: R when driving on a different lane or when changing lanes R to pedestrians, animals, bicycles or sta­tionary vehicles, or unexpected obstacles R to complex traffic conditions R to oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic As a result, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may neither give warnings nor intervene in such situations. # Always observe the traffic conditions carefully and react accordingly. ¦Operating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC Requirements R The electric parking brake is released.

Deactivating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC & WARNING Risk of an accident due to Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC being active when you leave the driver's seat If you leave the driver's seat while the vehicle is being braked by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC only, the vehicle can roll away. # Always deactivate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away before you leave the driver's seat. # Press ±. % If you brake, deactivate ESP® or if ESP® inter­ venes, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated. ¦Function of Active Speed Limit Assist If a changed speed limit is detected and the auto­matic adoption of speed limits is switched on, this is automatically adopted as the stored speed (/ page 246). Speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) are not accepted. The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign at the latest. In the case of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the speed is adapted according to the speed permit­ted within the urban area. The speed limit display in the driver's display is always updated when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign. If you are driving on German highways and there is no speed limit, the system uses the speed stored for a stretch of road with no speed limit as the set speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on a stretch of road with no speed limit, the rec­ommended speed of 80 mph (130 km/h) is adop­ted. If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put into passive mode by pressing the accelerator pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the set speed are adopted. The maximum permissible speed does not take the road condition and current weather and traffic conditions into account. Adjust your speed accordingly, when necessary. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). System limits The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to the detection of traffic signs (/ page 257). Speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) are not automatically adopted by the system as the stored speed. Temporary speed restrictions (e.g. for a certain time or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly detected by the system. Adjust the speed in these situations. & WARNING Risk of accident due to Active Speed Limit Assist adapting the vehicle's speed The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit Assist may be too high or incorrect in some individual cases, such as: R at speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) R in wet conditions or in fog R when towing a trailer # Ensure that the driven speed complies with traffic regulations. # Adjust the driving speed to suit current traffic and weather conditions. ¦Function of route-based speed adaptation When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activa­ted, the vehicle speed will be adapted accordingly to the route events ahead. Depending on the drive program selected, the vehicle negotiates a route event ahead in an energy-saving, comfortable or dynamic manner. When the route event has been passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle in front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restric­ tions ahead are taken into account. Route-based speed adaptation can be activated in the multimedia system (/ page 246). The following route events are taken into account: R Bends R Traffic circles R T-intersections R Turns and exits R Traffic jams ahead (only with Live Traffic ) Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indi­cator is switched on and one of the following sit­uations is detected: R Turning at intersections R Driving in slowing-down lanes R Driving in lanes adjacent to slowing-down lanes The driver is responsible for choosing the right speed and observing other road users. This applies in particular to intersections, traffic circles and traffic lights, as route-based speed adaptation does not brake the vehicle to a standstill. Speed adaptation is canceled in the following cases: R If the turn signal indicator is switched off before the route event and it is therefore assumed that the route event is not relevant to the driver. R If the driver depresses the accelerator or brake pedal during the process. System limits Route-based speed adaptation does not take right of way regulations into account. The driver is responsible for complying with road traffic regula­tions and driving at a suitable speed. In difficult conditions, the speed selection made by the system may not always be suitable. This applies to the following situations, forexample: R The road's course is not clearly visible. R Road narrowing. R Varying maximum permissible speeds in indi­ vidual lanes, for example at toll stations. R Wet road surfaces, snow or ice. In these situations the driver must intervene accordingly. & WARNING Risk of accident in spite of route-based speed adaptation Route-based speed adaptation can malfunc­tion or be temporarily unavailable in the fol­lowing situations: R If the driver does not follow the calculated route R If map data is not up-to-date or available R In the event of roadworks R In bad weather or road conditions R If the accelerator pedal is depressed R In the event of electronically displayed speed limitations # Adapt the speed to the traffic situation. ¦Setting Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC driv­ing styles Requirements R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activa­ted.

It orients itself using the vehicle in front and lane markings. Active Stop-and-Go Assist auto­matically maintains a safe distance from the vehi­cle in front and vehicles cutting in. Active Stop-and-Go Assist requires you, as the driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times so that you are able to intervene at any time to correct the course of the vehicle and keep it in lane. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). Active Stop-and-Go Assist activates automatically when all of the following conditions are met: R You are in a traffic jam on a highway or high-speed major road. R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activated and active (/ page 242). R Active Steering Assist is activated and active (/ page 249). R You are traveling no faster than 35 mph (60 km/h). When Active Stop-and-Go Assist is active the ¬ status display appears on the driver's dis­play. System limits The system limitations of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist apply to Active Stop-and-Go Assist (/ page 247). Active Steering Assist ¦Function of Active Steering Assist Active Steering Assist is available only up to a speed of 130 mph (210 km/h). The system helps you to stay in the center of the lane by means of moderate steering interventions. Depending on the speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the vehicles ahead and lane markings as a reference. % Depending on the country, in the lower speed range Active Steering Assist can use the sur­rounding traffic as a reference. If necessary, Active Steering Assist can then also provide assistance when driving outside the center of the lane. If the detection of lane markings and vehicles ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist switches to passive mode. The system provides no support in this case. Permanent status display in the driver's display Ø Gray: activated and passive Ø Green: activated and active Ø Red, flashing: prompt to the driver to actively confirm or transition from active to passive status, system limit detected % During the transition from active to passive status, the Ø symbol is shown as enlarged and flashing. Once the system is passive, the Ø symbol is shown as gray in the driver's display. Contact detection The driver is required to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times and be able to inter­vene at any time to correct the course of the vehi­cle and keep it in lane. The driver must expect a change from active to passive mode or vice versa at any time. If the system detects that the driver has not steered the vehicle for a considerable period of time or has removed their hands from the steering wheel, an optical warning is given first. Display 1 appears in the driver's display. If the driver still does not steer the vehicle, or gives no confirma­tion to the system, a warning tone sounds in addi­tion to the visual warning message. If the driver does not react to this warning for a considerable period, an emergency stop is initi­ated (/ page 249). The warning is not issued or is stopped as soon as the system detects that the driver has touched the steering wheel. The touch detection may be limited or may not function if there is no direct contact between the hand and the steering wheel, e.g. when wearing gloves or if there is a steering wheel cover on the steering wheel. If Active Steering Assist detects that a system limit has been reached, a visual warning is issued and a warning tone sounds. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). System limits Active Steering Assist has a limited steering tor­que for lateral guidance. In some cases, the steer­ing intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehi­cle in the lane. The system may be impaired or may not function in the following instances: R There is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, greatly varying ambient light or strong shadows on the road. R There is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections. R Insufficient road illumination. R The windshield is dirty, fogged up, damaged or covered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g. by a sticker. R No, or several, unclear lane markings are pres­ent for one lane, or the markings change quickly, forexample, in a construction area or intersections. R The lane markings are worn away, dark or cov­ered up, e.g. by dirt or snow. R If the distance to the vehicle in front is too short and thus the lane markings cannot be detected. R The road is narrow and winding. R There are obstacles on the lane or projecting out into the lane, suchas object markers. The system does not provide assistance in the fol­lowing conditions: R On very tight bends and when turning. R When crossing intersections. R At traffic circles or toll stations. R When actively changing lane without switching on the turn signal indicator. R When the tire pressure is too low. & WARNING Risk of accident if Active Steer­ing Assist unexpectedly stops functioning If the system limits of Active Steering Assist are reached there is no guarantee that the system will remain active or will keep the vehi­cle in lane. # Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and observe the traffic carefully. # Always steer the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions. & WARNING Risk of accident if Active Steer­ing Assist unexpectedly intervenes The detection of lane markings and objects may malfunction and cause unexpected steer­ing interventions. # Steer according to traffic conditions. ¦Activating/deactivating Active Steering Assist Requirements R ESP® is activated, but is not intervening.

Function of Active Emergency Stop Assist Active Emergency Stop Assist monitors the steer­ing wheel and the accelerator and brake pedals. If the system detects a lack of driver activity and the vehicle threatens to leave the lane, a warning can be issued and an emergency stop initiated. Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package: The system is available from a speed of approx. 37 mph (60 km/h). Vehicles with Driving Assistance package: If Active Steering Assist is switched off, the system is available from a speed of approx. 37 mph (60 km/h). If the system detects that the vehicle is threaten­ ing to leave the lane, a warning can be issued and an emergency stop initiated. R The driver does not touch the steering wheel for a longer period of time or no steering movement can be measured for a longer period of time (depending on the vehicle equipment). R Neither the accelerator nor the brake pedal is depressed. % Vehicles with Driving Assistance package: if Active Steering Assist is switched on and active, only the steering wheel is monitored by the system. If the driver does not touch the steering wheel for a longer period of time, a warning may be given despite pedal actuation. Also observe the instructions on the contact detection of Active Steering Assist (/ page 247). Active Emergency Stop Assist issues the following warnings in order: R Display message 1 appears in the driver's display. R In addition to display 1 a warning tone sounds. R The message Initiating Emergency Stop will appear in the driver's display, a continuous warning tone will sound, the vehicle will no longer accelerate and, if necessary, slight belt tensioning will be produced. R The vehicle speed is reduced in increments until it is at a standstill. Sharp brake impulses are also produced. % Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active and the driver unfastens the seat belt and driver's door, an emergency stop can be initi­ated immediately. Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: Depending on the country, a lane change to the adjacent lane is carried out, if possible. It is possi­ble only to change across one lane and only into the outer lane, and not onto the hard shoulder. When automatic braking is initiated, Active Dis­tance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated. Depend­ing on the country, the hazard warning light sys­tem is switched on. When the vehicle is stationary, the following actions are carried out: R The vehicle is secured with the electric park­ing brake. R The vehicle is unlocked. R If possible, an emergency call is placed to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call center. Before automatic braking is initiated, you can can­cel Active Emergency Stop Assist by steering. You can cancel the intervention by Active Emer­gency Stop Assist after automatic braking is initi­ated by one of the following actions: R Accelerating or braking: the emergency stop is canceled, but the warning message, warning tone and power steering remain active R Steering: power-assisted steering is canceled, the warning message and warning tone remain active and the vehicle continues to be braked % Active Emergency Stop Assist can initiate an emergency stop a maximum of three times within a driving cycle. After that, Active Steer­ing Assist and Active Emergency Stop Assist are disabled until the vehicle has been restar­ted. System limits For the detection of vehicles and other obstacles, observe the system limits of the following func­tions: R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC (/ page 239) R Active Steering Assist (/ page 247) R Active Lane Change Assist (/ page 250) R Active Brake Assist (/ page 253) Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package: Active Emergency Stop Assist is inactive in the fol­lowing cases: R Active Lane Keeping Assist has reached a sys­tem limit.

R No vehicle or obstacle is detected in the adja-Display in the driver's display in the menuAssis­cent lane. tance R Active Lane Change Assist is selected in the multimedia system. R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist are switched on and active. appears along with gray arrows in the driver's dis­ play. If no vehicle or obstacle is detected in the adja­cent lane and a lane change is permitted, the lane change begins after the driver has indicated briefly. The lane change is shown to the driver with a flashing green arrow next to the ± steering wheel symbol. Green arrow Assistance is displayed in the appropriate adjacent lane in the 1 menu in the driver's display. Themessage, for Lane Change to the Leftexample, also appears. If a lane change is not possible directly after the driver has activated the turn signal indicator because an obstacle has been detected, forexam­ple, the arrow will also flash in green next to the ± steering wheel symbol and the neighboring lane will continue to be monitored. When the lane becomes free, a lane change will be carried out and a message e.g.Lane Change to the Left appears in the driver's display. If the green arrows stop flashing, the lane change must be activated again. Active Lane Change Assist can be canceled in var­ ious situations, including the following: R Change in the surrounding conditions (e.g. detected obstacle). R The driver steers with too much force or in the opposite direction. R The driver moves the turn signal indicator in the opposite direction. R Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC or Active Steering Assist is deactivated. R The vehicle cannot make the lane change as planned. Cancellation of Active Lane Change Assist is dis­ played as follows: R The arrow in the selected direction of travel turns red. R A corresponding message will also appear in the driver's display. R In certain circumstances a warning tone sounds. & WARNING Risk of accident when changing lane to an occupied adjacent lane Lane Change Assist cannot always clearly detect if the adjacent lane is free. The lane change might be initiated although the adjacent lane is not free. # Before changing lanes, make sure that the neighboring lane is free and there is no danger to other road users. # Monitor the lane change. & WARNING Risk of accident if Lane Change Assist unexpectedly stops functioning If the system limitations for Lane Change Assist have been reached, there is no guaran­tee that the system will remain active. Lane Change Assist cannot then assist you by applying steering torque. # Always monitor the lane change and keep your hands on the steering wheel. Observe the traffic conditions and steer and/or brake if necessary. System limits The system limitations of Active Steering Assist apply to Active Lane Change Assist (/ page 247). The system may also be impaired or may not func­tion in the following situations: R The sensors are damaged, covered or dirty (/ page 228). R The exterior lighting shows a defect. R The system does not detect a suitable road, forexample, in tight bends. R The vehicle is on a construction site. % The Active Lane Change Assist sensors adjust automatically while a certain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered.

Active Brake Assist ¦Function of Active Brake Assist Active Brake Assist consists of the following func­tions: R Collision warning R Autonomous braking function R Situation-dependent brake force boosting R Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package and Active Steering Assist: Evasive Steering Assist Active Brake Assist can help you to minimize the risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedes­trians or to reduce the effects of such a collision. If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli­sion, a warning tone will sound and the Ldis­tance warning lamp will light up. front will also be highlighted in red. When the sys­tem detects a risk of collision, red radar waves 2 will appear in front of the vehicle. % Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: depending on the country, an additional haptic warning will occur in the form of slight, repeated tension­ing of the seat belt. % Vehicles with active ambient lighting: if Warn­ing Support is activated, the Active Brake Assist warning will also be accompanied by ambient lighting (/ page 162). If you do not react to the warning, autonomous braking can be initiated in critical situations. In particularly critical situations, Active Brake Assist can also initiate autonomous braking directly. In this case, the warning tone and the L distance warning lamp will occur at the same time as brake application. If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa­tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak­ing, situation-dependent brake force boosting will occur. The brake pressure will increase up to max­imum full-stop braking if necessary. If autonomous braking or situation-dependent brake force boosting has occurred, pop up 1 will appear on the driver's display and then automati­cally disappear after a short time. If the autonomous braking function or the situa­tion-dependent brake force boosting is triggered, additional preventive measures for occupant pro­tection (PRE-SAFE®) may also be initiated. & WARNING Risk of an accident caused by limited detection performance of Active Brake Assist Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly iden­tify objects and complex traffic situations. In such cases, Active Brake Assist might: R Give a warning or brake without reason R Not give a warning or not brake Active Brake Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible for maintaining a sufficiently safe distance to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed and for braking in good time. # Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation; do not rely on Active Brake Assist alone. # Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces­sary. If Active Brake Assist is deactivated or the func­tions are restricted, e.g. due to activation of another driving system, the ê Active Brake Assist warning lamp will appear on the driver's display. If the system is unavailable due to dirty or dam­aged sensors or due to a fault, or if the functions are restricted, the Ó Active Brake Assist warn­ing lamp will appear on the driver's display. Also observe the system limits of Active Brake Assist. The individual subfunctions are available in the fol­lowing speed ranges: Collision warning Collision warning can assist you in the following situations from approximately 4 mph (7 km/h) with an intermittent warning tone and the L distance warning lamp.

R Releasing the brake pedal. Active Brake Assist may cancel brake application when one of the following conditions is fulfilled: R you maneuver to avoid the obstacle R there is no longer a risk of collision R an obstacle is no longer detected in front of your vehicle Reaction to oncoming road users (only vehicles with Driving Assistance Package) Active Brake Assist can also react to detected oncoming road users: R Reaction up to speeds of approximately 62 mph (100 km/h) R Warning for oncoming road users via acoustic warning and distance warning lamp L R Autonomous brake application in order to reduce the severity of an accident Evasive Steering Assist & WARNING Risk of accident despite Eva­sive Steering Assist Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recog­nize objects or complex traffic situations clearly. Moreover, the steering support provided by Evasive Steering Assist is not sufficient to avoid a collision. # Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering Assist alone. # Be prepared to brake or swerve if neces­sary. # End the support by actively steering in non-critical situations. # Drive at an appropriate speed if there are pedestrians close to the path of your vehicle. Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac­ teristics: R Detection of pedestrians, cyclists and vehi­cles. R Assistance through power-assisted steering if a swerving maneuver is detected. R Activation by an abrupt steering movement during a swerving maneuver. R Assistance during swerving and straightening of the vehicle. R Reaction from a speed of approximately 12 mph (20 km/h) up to a speed of approx­ imately 68 mph (110 km/h). You can cancel assistance from Evasive Steering Assist at any time by countersteering.

Traffic Sign Assist ¦Function of Traffic Sign Assist The traffic sign assistant detects the traffic signs with the multifunction camera and compares them with the information on the digital road map of the navigation system. It assists you by display­ing detected speed limits and overtaking restric­tions in the driver's display and in the head-up dis­play. The system can issue a warning when you exceed the maximum permissible speed. In some countries, the system can provide you with further functions and can warn you when you are approaching pedestrian crossings or when you are about to drive past stop signs or red lights unintentionally. The camera also detects and analyzes traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when wet). Traffic Sign Assist portrays only selected signs in the driver's display. Actual traffic signs and speed limits have priority over traffic signs and speed limits shown in the driver's display. Also observe the following information: R select a speed adapted to the traffic, sur­ roundings and weather conditions R observe actual traffic signs R observe applicable traffic rules and regula­ tions Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). Displays in the driver's display 1 Permissible speed 2 Permissible speed when there is a restriction 3 Additional sign with restriction The system can show up to two traffic signs in the driver's display simultaneously. The system always prioritizes displaying speed limits. Up to one traf­fic sign with a maximum permissible speed can be shown in the head-up display. If two speed signs are shown in the driver display, e.g. in the case of detected restrictions, the value of the left-hand speed limit 1 is always transmitted to the TEM­POMAT or Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC for acceptance and shown in the head-up display. Examples of traffic signs which can be displayed Traffic Sign Assist can detect and display following traffic signs 1: R speed limits R end of the speed limit R overtaking restrictions R play streets R recommended speeds Traffic Sign Assist can detect following additional signs 3 and, if necessary, analyze the relevance of the restrictions using other vehicle sensors: R when wet R slippery road surfaces R in fog R temporary restrictions R exits R restrictions for car/trailer combinations Traffic Sign Assist also uses data from the digital street map in the navigation system. When you leave or enter a municipality or change roads, on a freeway exit or slip road forexample, or after you turn at a intersection, the display on the driver's display can thus be updated without a traffic sign having been detected. % Regularly update the digital road map of the navigation system so that the traffic sign assistant can work optimally. Depending on vehicle equipment and country, the system can also display speed restrictions ahead in the driver's display and in the head-up display. The driver's display can also show the distance to an upcoming lower limit speed. For this purpose, information from the digital road map of the navi­gation system is used. The Assistance menu can also display a dynamic visualization of the speed limits ahead. If Traffic Sign Assist cannot determine the cur­rently applicable maximum permissible speed (e.g. due to missing signs), the following display appears in the driver's display: Traffic Sign Assist is not available in all countries. If the vehicle is in a country where Traffic Sign Assist is not supported, this is displayed continu­ously. % Please also note the information on the dis­play messages of the traffic sign assistant (/ page 442). Additional functions of Traffic Sign Assist (coun­try-specific) Warning for no-entry signs: Traffic Sign Assist can warn you if you drive the wrong way down a sec­ tion of road, forexample on freeway slip roads or one-way streets. Warning at pedestrian crossings: if you approach pedestrian crossings, provided that pedestrians are in the danger zone or are moving towards it, Traffic Sign Assist can warn you up to a speed of approximately 44 mph (70 km/h). Warning at stop signs: Traffic Sign Assist can warn you up to a speed of approximately 44 mph (70 km/h) if you are about to drive past a stop sign unintentionally. For this to be possible, the signs must be clear, forexample if the system detects more than one stop sign, or a stop sign can be confirmed using the digital navigation map. No warning can be issued if several different signs are detected. Warning at red lights: Traffic Sign Assist can warn you up to a speed of approximately 44 mph (70 km/h) if you are about to drive through a red light unintentionally. The following conditions must be fulfilled: R Several traffic lights have been detected. R All traffic lights detected are red. R At least one of the red traffic lights detected is on the front passenger side beside the vehi­cle's own lane. R The traffic lights are in the following sequence (from top to bottom): red, yellow, green. % If the function is available, you can activate or deactivate the warnings at pedestrian cross­ings, stop signs and red lights in the Traffic Sign Assist menu under Further Warnings (/ page 260). System limits The system may be impaired or may not function particularly in the following situations: R If visibility is poor, e.g. due to insufficient illu­mination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, rain, snow, fog, swirling dust or heavy spray. R If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections. R If there is dirt on the windshield in the vicinity of the multifunction camera or if the camera is fogged up, damaged or obscured. R if the traffic signs are difficult to see because, forexample, they are dirty, obscured, faded, iced over, damaged, inconveniently positioned, insufficiently illuminated or distorted. R Active traffic signs with LED displays may not be detected correctly or at all due to technical factors, suchas transmission frequency. R If the information on the navigation system's digital map is incorrect, incomplete or out of date. R if the signs, road markings or road layout are ambiguous, e.g. in the case of traffic signs in construction sites, at exits and driveways, in the case of adjacent lanes or parallel roads, in the case of pedestrian crossing markings at traffic lights R if the signage or road markings do not comply with the standard R if the signage, road markings or road guidance is country-specific and deviates from the route guidance of the navigation system, e.g. in or after road works R After sharp turns and tight bends, when traffic signs are outside the camera's field of vision. R If you overtake vehicles with traffic signs which are affixed or attached to them. ¦Setting Traffic Sign Assist Multimedia system: 4 © 5 Settings 5 Assistance 5 Assistance 5 Traffic Sign Assist Activating or deactivating the speed warning # Switch off Speed Limit Warning.

Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist ¦Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist with exit warning Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130 ft (40 m) behind and 10 ft (3 m) next to your vehicle. The system can detect vehicles traveling above speeds of approximately 8 mph (12 km/h) and issue a warning if they move into the monitoring range. Status display in the driver's display ¸ Gray: the system is activated but inopera­tive. ¸ Green: the system is activated and opera­tional. Display in the driver's display in the menuAssistance If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approx­imately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle enters the warning range immediately afterwards, the warning lamp in the corresponding outside mirror lights up red. In the Assistance menu, the lamp in outside mirror 1 also lights up red, and the lane in which the vehicle is detected is hatched out. If a vehicle is detected in the warning range and you switch on the turn signal indicator in the cor­responding direction, a double warning tone sounds once, and the warning lamp flashes red in the corresponding outside mirror. Red radar waves 2 are displayed next to your vehicle in the assistance graphic. If the turn signal indicator remains on, the display in the outside mirror flashes for all other detected vehicles, but no further warning tone sounds. If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is given. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers (/ page 228). & WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind Spot Assist Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles approaching and overtaking you at a greatly different speed. Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in this situation. # Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and maintain a safe distance at the side of the vehicle. Exit warning The exit warning is an additional function of Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occupants attempting to leave a sta­tionary vehicle about approaching vehicles. & WARNING Risk of accident despite exit warning The exit warning neither reacts to stationary objects nor to persons or road users approaching you at a greatly differing speed. The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these situations. # Always pay particular attention to the traffic situation when opening the doors and make sure there is sufficient clear­ance. If a vehicle is detected in the monitoring range, the red warning lamp lights up in the correspond­ing outside mirror. If a vehicle occupant pulls the door handle on the side of the warning, a warning tone sounds twice and the ambient lighting in the respective door and the warning lamps in the corresponding out­side mirror flash red. % Vehicles with ambient lighting: the Warning Support of the ambient lighting can be activa­ted and deactivated (/ page 162). % The warning assistance can differ depending on the equipment and may vary according to the setting. This exit warning is only available when Blind Spot Assist is active. After the vehicle is switched off, the exit warning continues to function for a few minutes. When the outside mirror warning lamp flashes three times, the exit warning is no longer available. The exit warning is only an aid and not a substi­tute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The responsibility for opening and closing the doors and for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehi­cle occupants. System limits Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may be limited in the following situations, in particular: R if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured R in poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or snow R if there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or motorbikes R if the road has very wide or narrow lanes R if vehicles are not driving in the middle of their lane Warnings may be issued in error when driving close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane borders. Always make sure that there is sufficient distance to the side for other traffic or obstacles. Warnings may be interrupted when driving along­side long vehicles, for example trucks, for a pro­longed time. Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist are not operational when reverse gear is engaged. Additionally, the exit warning may be limited in the following situations: R when the sensors are covered by adjacent vehicles in narrow parking spaces R when people approach the vehicle R in the event of stationary or slowly moving objects ¦Function of the brake application of Active Blind Spot Assist % The brake application function is only availa­ble for vehicles with a Driving Assistance Package. If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side impact in the monitoring range, a course-correct­ing brake application is carried out. This is designed to help you avoid a collision. The course-correcting brake application is availa­ble in the speed range between approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and approximately 125 mph (200 km/h). & WARNING Risk of accident despite brake application of Active Blind Spot Assist A course-correcting brake application cannot always prevent a collision. # Always steer, brake or accelerate your­self, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns you or makes a course-correcting brake application. # Always maintain a safe distance at the sides. 1 indicating the danger of a side collision appears in the driver's display. In rare cases, the system may make an inappro­priate brake application. This brake application may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly in the opposite direction or accelerate. System limits Either a course-correcting brake application appropriate to the driving situation, or none at all, may occur especially in the following situations: R Vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash barriers, are located on both sides of your vehicle. R A vehicle approaches too closely on the side. R You have adopted a sporty driving style with high cornering speeds. R You brake or accelerate significantly. R A driving safety system intervenes, e.g. ESP® or Active Brake Assist. R ESP® is deactivated. R A loss of tire pressure or a defective tire is detected. ¦Activating/deactivating Blind Spot Assist or Active Blind Spot Assist Multimedia system: 4 © 5 Settings 5 Assistance 5 Collision Avoidance # Activate or deactivate Active Blind Spot Assist. Active Lane Keeping Assist ¦Function of Active Lane Keeping Assist Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction camera (/ page 228) and can warn you before you leave your lane unintentionally. The system can guide you back into your lane through a course-correcting steering intervention and addi­tionally warns you with vibration pulses in the steering wheel. Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the speed range between 37 mph (60 km/h) and 124 mph (200 km/h). The system can intervene in the following situa­tions: R Active Lane Keeping Assist detects a lane marking. R One of your front wheels goes over a lane marking. If you activate the turn signal indicator, a steering intervention does not occur on the corresponding side. If you leave the lane without activating the turn signal indicator, but danger of a collision with a moving obstacle is detected in your lane, a steer­ing intervention does not occur. Vehicles with Blind Spot Assist or Driving Assis­tance Package: if the system detects an obstacle, such as another vehicle in the adjacent lane, a steering intervention will occur regardless of the turn signal indicator. Display 1 will appear in the driver's display and a warning tone will sound in the following situations: R A steering intervention by Active Lane Keeping Assist lasts longer than approximately ten sec­onds. R The system carries out two or more steering interventions within approximately three minutes without any steering intervention from the driver. In the Active Lane Keeping Assist settings, you can set the sensitivity of the system and set the level of support. Additionally, you can set whether the system should react to discontinuous lane markings or only continuous lane markings (/ page 269).

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC ¦Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park­ing assistance system which monitors the area surrounding your vehicle and shows you the dis­tance between the vehicle and a detected obsta­cle visually and audibly. The passive side impact protection also warns you of obstacles to the side. These must be detected beforehand by the sensors in the front or rear bumper while driving by them. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. The pas­sive side impact protection can be activated and deactivated via the multimedia system. In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a dis­tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has traveled one vehicle length, obstacles on all sides can be shown. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surround­ings. Responsibility for safe maneuvering and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals, objects, etc. in the maneuvering area while maneuvering and parking in/exiting parking spaces. Displays in the central display As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is ready for display, the respective areas of the display are shown in blue. 1 Front and rear ready for display 2 All sides ready for display 3 All sides ready for display and obstacle detected The color of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle: R Blue: > 3.3 ft (1 m) (no obstacles detected) R Yellow: approx. 3.3 ft (1 m) - 2.2 ft (0.7 m) R Orange: approx. 2.2 ft (0.7 m) - 1.2 ft (0.4 m) R Red: <1.2 ft (0.4 m) Vehicles with 360° Camera: the boundary line shifts dynamically depending on the position and distance of the obstacles detected. Depending on the distance to the obstacle detec­ted, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You can set the timing of the warnings in the multime­dia system. In the Warn Early setting, the system warns you from a distance of 3.3 ft (1 m), in the standard setting only from 1.2 ft (0.4 m).

Debiting of toll charges at freeway toll gates is facilitated with an electronic payment system. The toll system uses RFID (Radio Frequency Iden­tification) for data transfer between the control unit and the toll station. The toll system is initially switched off at the fac­tory. The control unit is in the vehicle glove box. In order to be able to use the toll system, it must have been registered by the customer and activa­ted by the service provider: R Activate the toll system in the settings of the MBUX multimedia system or on the control unit. R There are two ways to register and activate: -In the Mercedes me App, register the unit identification number of the control unit and activate the toll system. -Alternatively, you can register and activate via the Toll Service app. Activation of the toll system can take up to 48 hours after registration. When the toll system is activated, the number of vehicle occupants is first preset by the factory at one person. In order to use the toll system, the device in the glove box or in the MBUX multimedia system must be switched on. The following applies for roads on which toll charges are dependent on the number of vehicle occupants: R If the automatic detection of the number of vehicle occupants is switched off, the number of vehicle occupants must be selected man­ually. This ensures correct toll accounting. R The number of vehicle occupants can be transmitted automatically. In the process, the number of seat belts worn is determined. If the number of detected persons does not correspond with the number of persons actually in the vehicle, the number of persons must be manually selected. The standard setting of one person does not need to be changed for roads which require toll pay­ment regardless of the number of vehicle occu­pants. The toll system enables the payment of toll charges in many states of the USA. % In Mexico, for example, the toll system can be registered and activated for journeys to the USA. Notes on use R Drive at the prescribed vehicle speed in the toll lane. R The toll will be debited automatically only after registration and activation of the toll system. R For safety reasons, entries should be made while the vehicle is stationary. R For further information, please consult the Mercedes me App or an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada). For information on how to register and activate the toll system, see the Digital Operator's Manual.

Information on the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system Your vehicle is equipped with the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (“eCall”). This feature can help save lives in the event of an accident. eCall in no way replaces assistance provided from dial­ing 911. Mercedes-Benz eCall only functions in areas where mobile phone coverage is available from the wireless service providers. Insufficient net­work coverage from the wireless service providers may result in an emergency call not being trans­mitted. eCall is a standard feature in your Mercedes-Benz vehicle. In order to function as intended, the sys­tem relies on the transmission of data detailed in the Transmitted Data section that follows. To disable eCall, a customer must visit an author­ized Mercedes-Benz Service department to deac­tivate the vehicle’s communication module. Deactivation of this module prevents the activa­tion of any and all Mercedes me connect serv­ices. After the deactivation of eCall, automatic emergency call and manual emergency call will not be available. The vehicle must be switched on before an auto­matic emergency call can be made. % eCall is activated at the factory. % eCall can be deactivated by an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. Please note that in the event ownership of the vehicle is transferred to another owner in its deactivated state, eCall will remain deactivated unless the new owner visits an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership to reactivate the system. Overview of the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system eCall can help to reduce the time between an accident and the arrival of emergency services at the site of the accident. It helps locate an acci­dent site in places that are difficult to access. However, even if a vehicle is equipped with eCall, this does not mean the system is ON. As such, eCall does not replace dialing 911 in the event of an accident. An emergency call can be made automatically or manually. Only make emergency calls if you or others are in need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in the event of a breakdown or a similar situation. Messages on the display SOS NOT READY: the vehicle is not on or eCall not available. During an active emergency call, appears in the display. You can find more information on the regional availability of eCall at: https://www.mercedes­benz-mobile.com/extra/ecall/ % If there is a malfunction of the emergency call system, the loudspeakers, microphone, air bag or the SOS button, for example, are faulty. You can recognize a malfunction in the emer­gency call system by the following displays: R A corresponding message will also appear in the driver's display. R The SOS button lights up red continuously. Triggering an automatic Mercedes-Benz emer­gency call Requirements: R The vehicle is switched on. R The starter battery is sufficiently charged.

Opening and closing the fuse box in the rear passenger compartment Requirements: R Observe the notes on electrical fuses (/ page 400). Make sure there are no vibrations, noises or unusual handling characteristics when the vehicle is in motion. This may indicate that the wheels or tires are damaged. Hidden tire damage could also be causing the unusual handling characteristics. If you suspect that a tire is defective, reduce your speed immediately and have the tires and wheels checked at a qualified specialist workshop. & WARNING Risk of injury through damaged tires Damaged tires can cause tire pressure loss. # Check the tires regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tires immediately. & WARNING Risk of hydroplaning due to insufficient tire tread Insufficient tire tread will result in reduced tire grip. In heavy rain or slush the risk of hydroplaning is increased, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the conditions. # Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tires. Minimum tread depth for: R Summer tires: â in (3 mm) R M+S tires: ãin (4 mm) # For safety reasons, replace the tires before the legally-prescribed limit for the minimum tread depth is reached. Carry out the following checks on all wheels regu­larly, at least once a month or as required, for example, prior to a long journey or driving off-road: R Check the tire pressure (/ page 404). R Visually inspect wheels and tires for damage. R Check the valve caps. R Visual check of the tire tread depth and the tire contact surface across the entire width. The minimum tread depth for summer tires is â in (3 mm) and for winter tires ã in (4 mm). & WARNING Risk of accident due to incor­rectly installed snow chains If you have installed snow chains on the front wheels, they may drag against the vehicle body or chassis components. # Never install snow chains on the front wheels. # Only install snow chains on the rear wheels in pairs. * NOTE Damage to components of the vehi­cle body or chassis due to mounted snow chains If you mount snow chains to the front wheels of 4MATIC vehicles, you may damage compo­nents of the vehicle body or chassis. # Only mount snow chains to the rear wheels of 4MATIC vehicles. * NOTE Damage to wheel trims due to snow chains being installed If you install snow chains on aluminum wheels you could damage the wheel trims. # Remove the wheel trims from the alumi­num wheels before installing snow chains. Observe the following notes when using snow chains: R Snow chains are only permissible for certain wheel/tire combinations. You can obtain infor­mation about this from an authorized Mercedes-Benz Service Center. R For safety reasons, only use snow chains that have been specifically approved for your vehi­cle by Mercedes-Benz, or snow chains with the same quality standard. R Comply with the installation instructions of the snow chain manufacturer. R If snow chains are installed, the maximum per­missible speed is 30 mph (50 km/h). R Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: do not use Active Parking Assist when snow chains are installed. R Vehicles with rear axle steering: if snow chains are installed, only drive with snow chain mode active (/ page 403). % You can deactivate ESP® to pull away (/ page 232). This allows the wheels to spin, achieving an increased driving force. Multimedia system: 4 © 5 ß 5 y # Activate or deactivate Snow Chain Mode. When the function is active, the vehicle behaves as if snow chains were installed. For example, the maximum steering movement of the rear wheels is limited and the turning circle is thus increased. Additionally, parts of the driving and driving safety systems are not available when snow chain mode is active. Notes on tire pressure & WARNING Risk of accident due to insuffi­cient or excessive tire pressure Underinflated or overinflated tires pose in par­ticular the following risks: R The tires can burst. R The tires can wear excessively and/or unevenly. R The driving characteristics as well as the steering and braking characteristics may be greatly impaired. # Comply with the recommended tire pres­sures and check the tire pressure of all tires, including the spare wheel, regu­larly: R Monthly R When the load changes R Before embarking on a longer journey R If operating conditions change, e.g. off-road driving # Adjust the tire pressure, if necessary. Tire pressure which is too high or too low can: R Shorten the service life of the tires. R Cause increased tire damage. R Adversely affect driving characteristics and thus driving safety, e.g. due to hydroplaning. & WARNING Risk of accident due to too low a tire pressure Tires with pressure that is too low can over­ heat and burst as a consequence. In addition, they also suffer from irregular wear, which can significantly impair the brak­ing properties and the handling characteris­tics. # Avoid excessively low tire pressure. Tire pressure which is too low can cause: R Tire defects as a result of overheating R Impaired handling characteristics R Irregular wear R Increased energy consumption & WARNING Risk of accident due to too high a tire pressure Tires with excessively high pressure can burst. In addition, they also suffer from irregular wear, which can significantly impair the brak­ ing properties and the handling characteris­tics. # Avoid excessively high tire pressures. Tire pressure which is too high can cause: R Increased braking distance R Impaired handling characteristics R Irregular wear R Impaired driving comfort R Susceptibility to damage & WARNING Risk of accident due to repea­ted pressure drop in the tires The wheels, valves or tires could be damaged. Too low a tire pressure can lead to the tires bursting. # Examine the tires for foreign objects. # Check whether the tire has a puncture or the valve has a leak. # If you are unable to rectify the damage, contact a qualified specialist workshop. You can find information on tire pressure for the vehicle's factory-installed tires on the following labels on the B-pillar on the driver's side: R Tire and Loading Information placard (/ page 409) R Tire pressure table (/ page 405). Observe the maximum tire pressure (/ page 415). Use a suitable pressure gage to check the tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire pres­ sure. Only correct tire pressure when the tires are cold. Conditions for cold tires: R The vehicle has been parked with the tires out of direct sunlight for at least three hours. R The vehicle has traveled less than 1 mile (1.6 km). The vehicle's tires heat up when driving. As the temperature of the tires increases, so too does the tire pressure. Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system: you can also see the tire pressure in the driver's display (/ page 408). The tire pressure recommended for increased load/speed in the tire pressure table can affect the ride comfort. & WARNING Risk of accident due to unsuita­ble accessories on tire valves If you mount unsuitable accessories onto tire valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and malfunction, which can cause tire pressure loss. # Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle onto the tire valve. Tire pressure table The tire pressure table is on the B-pillar on the driver's side. % The data shown in the images is example data. The tire pressure table shows the recommended tire pressure for all tires approved for this vehicle. The recommended tire pressures apply for cold tires under various operating conditions, i.e. load­ing and/or speed of the vehicle. If one or more tire sizes precede a tire pressure, the tire pressure information following is only valid for those tire sizes. The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the table for different num­bers of passengers and amounts of luggage. The actual number of seats may differ from this. Some tire pressure tables only show the rim diam­eter instead of the complete tire size, e.g. R18. The rim diameter is part of the tire size and can be found on the tire side wall (/ page 416). Be sure to also observe the following further rela­ted subjects: R Notes on tire pressure (/ page 404) R Tire and Loading Information placard (/ page 409) R Maximum tire pressure (/ page 415) Checking the tire pressure manually # Read the tire pressure recommended for the current operating conditions from the tire and loading information placard or the tire pres­sure table. Observe the notes on tire pressure. # Remove the valve cap of the tire to be checked. # Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto the valve. # Read the tire pressure. # If the tire pressure is lower than the recom­mended value, increase the tire pressure to the recommended value. # If the tire pressure is higher than the recom­mended value, release air. To do so, press down the metal pin in the valve, e.g. using the tip of a pen. Then check the tire pressure again using the tire pressure gauge. # Screw the valve cap onto the valve. Further related subjects: R Notes on tire pressure (/ page 404) R Tire pressure table (/ page 405) R Tire and loading information placard (/ page 409) Tire pressure monitoring system ¦Function of the tire pressure monitor & DANGER Risk of accident due to incorrect tire pressure Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommen­ded by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehi­cle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should deter­mine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres­sure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pres­sure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv­er’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc­tions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. # The system checks the tire pressure and the tem­perature of the tires fitted to the vehicle by means of a tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure and tire temperature appear in the driver's display. If there is a substantial pressure loss or if the tire temperature is excessive, you will be warned with display messages (/ page 502) or the h warning lamp in the driver's display (/ page 520). The tire pressure monitor is only an aid. It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure suitable for the operating situation. In most cases, the tire pressure monitor will auto­matically update the new reference values after you have changed the tire pressure. You can, however, also update the reference values by restarting the tire pressure monitor manually (/ page 408). System limits The system may be impaired or may not function particularly in the following situations: R Incorrect reference values were taught in R Sudden pressure loss caused by a foreign object penetrating the tire, for example R Malfunction caused by another radio signal source ¦Checking the tire pressure with the tire pres­sure monitoring system Requirements R The vehicle is switched on. Driver's display: 4 © 5 Service # Press a to confirm. One of the following displays appears: R Current tire pressure of each wheel: R Tire pressure displayed after driving for a few minutes.: current values are not yet known to the system. The pressure/tempera­ture values of each tire are displayed as soon as they are known to the system. R Tire Pressure Monitor Active: the teach-in process of the system is not yet complete. The tire pressures are already being monitored. # Compare the current tire pressure with the recommended tire pressure for the current operating condition (/ page 405). Addition­ally, observe the notes on cold tires (/ page 404). % The values displayed in the driver's display may deviate from those of the tire pressure gauge as they refer to sea level. At high eleva­tions, the tire pressure value indicated by a tire pressure gauge is higher than that shown in the driver's display. Bear in mind the following related topic: R Notes on tire pressure (/ page 404) ¦Restarting the tire pressure monitoring system Requirements R The recommended tire pressure is correctly set for the respective operating status on each of the four wheels (/ page 404). Restart the tire pressure monitoring system in the following situations: R The tire pressure has changed. R The wheels or tires have been changed or newly fitted. Driver's display: 4 © 5 Service # Select Tire Pressure and confirm with a. # Swipe downwards on Touch Control on the steering wheel. The Use current pressures as new reference values? message is shown in the driver's dis­play. # Select Yes and confirm the restart with a. The Tire Pressure Monitor Restarted message is shown in the driver's display. Current warning messages are deleted and the yellow h warning lamp goes out. After you have been driving for a few minutes, the system checks whether the current tire pressures are within the specified range. The current tire pressures are then accepted as reference values and monitored. If the tire pressure levels are not within the specified range, the Please Correct Tire Pres­sure message appears. Bear in mind the following related topic: R Notes on tire pressure (/ page 404) Notes on Tire and Loading Information placard & WARNING Risk of accident from overloa­ded tires Overloaded tires may overheat and burst as a consequence. Overloaded tires can also impair the steering and handling characteris­tics and lead to brake failure. # Observe the load rating of the tires. # The load rating must be at least half the permissible axle load of the vehicle. # Never overload the tires by exceeding the maximum load. The Tire and Loading Information placard is on the B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehicle. % The data shown in the illustration is example data. The Tire and Loading Information placard shows the following information: R Maximum number of seats 2 according to the maximum number of people permitted to travel in the vehicle. R Maximum permissible load 3 comprises the gross weight of all vehicle occupants, load and luggage. R Recommended tire pressure 1 for cold tires. The recommended tire pressures are valid for the maximum permissible load and up to the maximum permissible vehicle speed. Please also note: R Information on permissible weights and loads on the vehicle identification plate (/ page 434). R Information on tire pressure in the tire pres­sure table (/ page 405). Further related subjects: R Determining the maximum permissible load (/ page 410) R Notes on tire pressure (/ page 404). Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit The following steps have been developed as required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575, pursuant to the "National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966". # (1): Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's placard. # (2): Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle. # (3): Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs. # (4): The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the "XXX" amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb pas­sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa­ble cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.) # (5): Determine the combined weight of lug­gage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the availa­ble cargo and luggage load capacity calcula­ted in Step 4. # (6): If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle. % Not all vehicles are permitted to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer is only permitted if a trailer-hitch is installed. Please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer if you have any ques­tions about towing a trailer with your vehicle. Even if you have calculated the total load carefully, you should still make sure that the maximum per­missible gross weight and the maximum gross axle weight rating of your vehicle are not excee­ded. Details can be found on the vehicle identifi­cation plate. Step 1 # Have your loaded vehicle – including driver, occupants and load – weighed on a vehicle weighbridge. The measured values may not exceed the maximum permissible values stated on the vehicle identification plate.

Tire Quality Grading In accordance with the US Department of Trans­portation's "Uniform Tire Quality Grading Stand­ards", tire manufacturers are required to grade their tires on the basis of the following three per­formance factors: 1 Tread wear grade 2 Traction grade 3 Temperature grade % The data shown in the illustration is example data. % The classification is not legally stipulated for Canada, but it is generally stated. Tread wear grade The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified govern­ment test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1\1/2\) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to var­iations in driving habits, service practices and dif­ferences in road characteristics and climate. Traction grade & DANGER Risk of accident due to inade­quate traction The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests. # Always adapt your driving style and drive at a speed to suit the prevailing traffic and weather conditions. * NOTE Damage to the drivetrain from wheelspin # Avoid wheelspin. The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified govern­ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance. Temperature grade & WARNING Risk of accident from tire over­heating and tire failure Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause excessive heat build-up and possi­ble tire failure. # Observe the recommended tire pressure. # Regularly check the pressure of all the tires. # Adjust the tire pressure, if necessary. The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces­sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of perform­ance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. DOT, Tire Identification Number (TIN) US tire regulations stipulate that every tire manu­facturer or retreader must imprint a TIN in or on the side wall of each tire produced. % The data shown in the image is example data. The TIN is a unique identification number to iden­ tify tires and comprises the following: R DOT (Department of Transportation): tire sym­bol marks 1 indicating that the tire complies with the requirements of the US Department of Transportation. R Manufacturer identification code: manufac­turer identification code 2 contains details of the tire manufacturer. New tires have a code with two symbols. Retreaded tires have a code with four symbols. Further information on retreaded tires (/ page 420). R Tire size: identifier 3 describes the tire size. R Tire type code: tire type code 4 can be used by the manufacturer as a code to describe specific characteristics of the tire. R Manufacturing date: manufacturing date 5 provides information about the age of a tire. The 1st and 2nd positions represent the cal­endar week and the 3rd and 4th positions state the year of manufacture (e.g. "3208" represents the 32nd week of 2008). Information on the maximum tire load Specifications for maximum tire pressure % The data shown in the illustration is example data. Maximum tire load 1 is the maximum permissi­ble weight for which the tire is approved. Do not overload the tires by exceeding the speci­fied load limit.

Recommended tire pressure: the recommended tire pressure is the tire pressure specified for the tires mounted on the vehicle at the factory. The tire and information placard contains the rec­ommended tire pressure for cold tires, the maxi­mum permissible load and the maximum permissi­ble vehicle speed. The tire pressure table contains the recommen­ded tire pressure for cold tires under various oper­ating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speed of the vehicle. Increased vehicle weight due to optional equip­ment: the combined weight of all standard and optional equipment available for the vehicle, regardless of whether it is actually installed on the vehicle or not. Rim: the part of the wheel on which the tire is installed. GAWR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): the GAWR is the maximum gross axle weight rating. The actual load on an axle must never exceed the gross axle weight rating. The gross axle weight rating can be found on the vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side. Speed rating: the speed rating is part of the tire identification. It specifies the speed range for which a tire is approved. GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight): the gross vehicle weight comprises the weight of the vehicle includ­ing fuel, tools, the spare wheel, any accessories installed, occupants, luggage and the trailer nose-weight, if applicable. The gross vehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehicle weight rating GVWR as specified on the vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side. GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): the GVWR is the maximum permitted gross weight of the fully laden vehicle (weight of the vehicle including all accessories, occupants, fuel, luggage and the trailer drawbar noseweight if applicable). The gross vehicle weight rating is specified on the vehicle identification plate on the B-pillar on the driver's side. Maximum weight of the laden vehicle: the maxi­mum weight is the sum of the curb weight of the vehicle, the weight of the accessories, the maxi­mum load and the weight of optional equipment installed at the factory. Kilopascal (kPa): metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corresponds to 1 psi. Another unit for tire pressure is bar. 100 kilopascal (kPa) equals 1 bar. Load index: in addition to the load-bearing index, the load index may also be printed on the side wall of the tire. This specifies the load-bearing capacity of the tire more precisely. Curb weight: the weight of a vehicle with standard equipment including the maximum capacity of fuel, oil and coolant. It also includes the air condi­tioning system and optional equipment if these are installed on the vehicle, but does not include passengers or luggage. Maximum tire load: the maximum tire load is the maximum permissible weight in kilograms or lbs for which a tire is approved. Maximum permissible tire pressure: maximum permissible tire pressure for one tire. Maximum load on one tire: maximum load on one tire. This is calculated by dividing the maximum axle load of one axle by two. PSI (pounds per square inch): standard unit of measurement for tire pressure. Aspect ratio: ratio between tire height and tire width in percent. Tire pressure: the pressure inside the tire which applies an outward force to every square inch of the tire. The tire pressure is specified in pounds per square inch (psi), in kilopascals (kPa) or in bar. The tire pressure should only be corrected when the tires are cold. Cold tire pressure: the tires are cold when the vehicle has been parked for at least 3 hours with­out direct sunlight on the tires or the vehicle has been driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km). Tire contact surface: the part of the tire that comes into contact with the road. Tire bead: the purpose of the tire bead is to ensure that the tire sits securely on the wheel rim. There are several wire cores in the tire bead to prevent the tire from changing length on the wheel rim. Side wall: the part of the tire between the tread and the tire bead. Weight of optional equipment: the combined weight of the optional equipment weighing more than the replaced standard parts and more than 5 lbs (2.3 kg). This optional equipment, such as high-performance brakes, level control system, a roof luggage rack or high-performance batteries, is not included in the curb weight and the weight of the accessories. TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique identifi­cation number which can be used by a tire manu­facturer to identify tires, for example, in a product recall, and thus identify the purchasers. The TIN is made up of the manufacturer's identity code, tire size, tire type code and the manufacturing date. Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index is a code that contains the maximum load-bearing capacity of a tire. Traction: traction is the grip resulting from friction between the tires and the road surface. Wear indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars) that are distributed over the tire contact surface. If the tire tread is level with the bars, the wear limit of 1/16 in (1.6 mm) has been reached. Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution of vehicle occupants over designated seat positions in a vehicle. Maximum permissible payload weight: nominal load and luggage load plus 150 lb (68 kg) multi­plied by the number of seats in the vehicle. Notes on selecting, installing and replacing tires * NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles # Observe the notes in the Supplement. You could otherwise fail to recognize dangers. & WARNING Risk of accident due to incor­rect wheel and tire dimensions If wheels and tires of the wrong size are instal­led, the service brakes or components in the brake system and in the wheel suspension may be damaged. # Always replace wheels and tires with ones that fulfill the specifications of the original part. For wheels, pay attention to the following: R Designation R Type For tires, pay attention to the following: R Designation R Manufacturer R Type & WARNING Risk of injury through exceed­ing the specified tire load-bearing capa­city or the permissible speed rating Exceeding the specified tire load rating or the permissible speed rating may lead to tire dam­age and to the tires bursting. # Therefore, only use tire types and sizes approved for your vehicle model. # Observe the tire load rating and speed rating required for your vehicle. * NOTE Vehicle and tire damage caused by non-approved tire types and sizes For safety reasons, only use tires, wheels and accessories which have been specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle. These tires are specially adapted to the active safety systems, such as ABS, ESP® and 4MATIC, and marked as follows: R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended (run-flat tires only for certain wheels) R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer­ tain AMG tires) Otherwise, certain properties, such as han­dling characteristics, vehicle noise emissions, consumption, etc. could be adversely affec­ted. Furthermore, other tire sizes could result in the tires rubbing against the body and axle components when loaded. This could result in damage to the tire or the vehicle. Only use tires, wheels and accessories that have been checked and recommended by Mercedes-Benz. * NOTE Risk to driving safety from retrea­ded tires Retreaded tires are neither tested nor recom­mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous damage cannot always be detected on retrea­ded tires. For this reason driving safety cannot be guar­anteed. # Do not use used tires if you have no information about their previous usage. * NOTE Possible wheel and tire damage when driving over obstacles Large wheels have a smaller section width. As the section width decreases, the risk of wheels and tires being damaged when driving over obstacles increases. # Avoid obstacles or drive especially care­fully. # Reduce your speed when driving over curbs, speed bumps, manhole covers and potholes. # Avoid particularly high curbs. * NOTE Possible wheel and tire damage when parking on curbs or in potholes Parking on curbs or in potholes can damage the wheels and tires. # Only park on as level a surface as possi­ble. # Avoid curbs and potholes when parking. * NOTE Damage to electronic component parts due to the use of tire-installing tools Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring sys­tem: There are electronic component parts in the wheel. If tire-installing tools are positioned in the area of the valve, the electronic components could be damaged. # Tire-installing tools should not be applied in the area of the valve. # Always have tires change at a qualified specialist workshop. * NOTE Damage to summer tires at low ambient temperatures At low ambient temperatures, tears could form when driving with summer tires, causing per­manent damage to the tires. # At temperatures below 45 °F (7 °C) use i M+S tires. Accessory parts which are not approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or which are not used correctly, can impair the operating safety. Before purchasing and using non-approved acces­sories, visit a qualified specialist workshop and inquire about: R Suitability R Legal stipulations R Factory recommendations & WARNING Risk of accident with high per­formance tires The special tire tread in combination with the optimized tire compound means that the risk of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is increased. In addition, the tire grip is greatly reduced at a low outside temperature and tire running tem­perature. # Switch on the ESP® and adapt your driv­ing style accordingly. # Use i M+S tires at outside tempera­tures of less than 50 °F (10 °C). # Only use the tires for their intended pur­pose. Observe the following when selecting, installing and replacing tires: R Furthermore, the use of certain tire types in certain regions and areas of operation can be highly beneficial. R Only use tires and wheels of the same type (summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires) and the same make. R Only install wheels of the same size (left and right) on each axle. It is only permissible to install a different wheel size in the event of a flat tire in order to drive to the specialist workshop. R Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys­tem: all installed wheels must be equipped with functioning sensors for the tire pressure monitoring system. R At temperatures below 45°F (7°C) use winter tires or all-season tires marked i M+S for all wheels. Winter tires provide the best possible grip in wintry road conditions. R For M+S tires, only use tires with the same tread. R Observe the maximum permissible speed for the M+S tire which is installed. If the tire's maximum speed is below that of the vehicle, this must be indicated by an appropriate label in the driver's field of vision. R Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km). R Replace the tires after six years at the latest, regardless of wear. R When replacing with tires that do not feature run-flat characteristics: vehicles with MOExtended tires are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. Equip the vehicle with a TIREFIT kit after replacing with tires that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. winter tires. For more information on wheels and tires, contact a qualified specialist workshop. Be sure to also observe the following further rela­ ted subjects: R Notes on tire pressure (/ page 404) R Tire and loading information placard (/ page 409) R Tire size designation, load-bearing capacity, speed rating and load index (/ page 416) R Tire pressure table (/ page 405) R Notes on the emergency spare wheel (/ page 430) Notes on rotating wheels & WARNING Risk of injury through different wheel sizes Rotating the front and rear wheels can severely impair the driving characteristics. The wheel brakes or suspension components may also be damaged. # Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels and tires are of the same dimen­sions. Observe the instructions and safety notes on "Changing a wheel" (/ page 420) The wear patterns on the front and rear wheels differ: R Front wheels wear more on the tire shoulder R Rear wheels wear more in the center of the tire Do not drive with tires that have too little tread depth. This significantly reduces traction on wet roads (hydroplaning). On vehicles that have the same size front and rear wheels, rotate the wheels according to the inter­vals in the tire manufacturer's warranty book in your vehicle documents. If this is not available, rotate the tires every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to 10,000 km), depending on the wear. Ensure that the direction of rotation is main­tained. Notes on storing wheels When storing wheels, observe the following notes: R After removing wheels, store them in a cool, dry and preferably dark place. R Protect the tires from contact with oil, grease or fuel. Overview of the tire-change tool kit * NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehicles # Observe the notes in the Supplement.
