2006 Mercedes-benz CL Class Owners Manual

Occupant safety

Infants and small children should never share a seat belt with another occupant. During an accident, they could be crushed between the occupant and seat belt.

Children too big for child restraint systems must ride in back seats using regular seat belts. Position shoulder belt across chest and shoulder, not face or neck. A booster seat may be necessary to achieve proper belt positioning for children from 41 lbs until they reach a height where a lap/shoulder belt fits properly without a booster.

A child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is significantly increased if the child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle and the child is not properly secured in the child restraint.

When the child restraint is not in use, re- move it from the vehicle or secure it with the seat belt to prevent the child restraint from becoming a projectile in the event of an ac- cident.

Special BabySmartTM compatible child seats, designed for use with the Mercedes-Benz system and available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center are required for use with the BabySmartTM air bag deactivation system. With the spe- cial child seat properly installed, the pas- senger front air bag will not deploy. The 58 indicator lamp 1 located on the lower part of the front center con- sole will be illuminated, except with the SmartKey removed or in starter switch position 0.

The system does not deactivate the side impact air bag and the emergency tensioning device.

Self-test BabySmartTM without special child seat installed After turning the SmartKey in the starter switch to position 1 or 2 or pressing the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button (컄 page 35) once or twice, the 58 indicator lamp comes on for approximately 6 seconds and then goes out. If the 58 indicator lamp should not come on or is continuously lit, the system is not functioning. You must see an autho- rized Mercedes-Benz Center before seat- ing any child on the front passenger seat. For more information, see “Practical hints” (컄 page 336).

Warning!

Warning!

Warning!

The BabySmartTM air bag deactivation sys- tem will ONLY work with a special child seat designed to operate with it. It will not work with child seats which are not BabySmartTM compatible.

Never place anything between seat cushion and child seat (e.g. pillow), since it reduces the effectiveness of the deactivation sys- tem. The bottom of the child seat must make full contact with the passenger seat cushion. An incorrectly mounted child seat could cause injuries to the child in case of an accident, instead of protecting the child.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation of special child seats.

When using a BabySmartTM compatible child seat on the front passenger seat, the pas- senger front air bag will not deploy only if the 58 indicator lamp remains illu- minated.

Make sure to check the 58 indica- tor lamp every time you use the special sys- tem child seat. Should the 58 indicator lamp go out while the restraint is installed, please check installation. If the 58 indicator lamp remains out, do not use the BabySmartTM restraint to trans- port children on the front passenger seat un- til the system has been repaired.

Do not place powered-on laptops, cell phones, electronic tags such as those used in ski passes and like electronic devices on the front passenger seat. Signals from such devices may interfere with the BabySmartTM system. Such signal interference, for exam- ple, may cause the 58 indicator lamp not to come on or be continuously lit during self-test, indicating that the system is not functioning.

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

In this section you will find information on the following driving safety systems: 앫 ABS (Antilock Brake System) 앫 BAS (Brake Assist System) 앫 ESP® (Electronic Stability Program)

In winter operation, the maximum ef- fectiveness of the ABS, BAS, and the ESP® is only achieved with winter tires (컄 page 313), or snow chains as re- quired.

80

Warning!

ABS

The following factors increase the risk of ac- cidents: 앫 Excessive speed, especially in turns 앫 Wet and slippery road surfaces 앫 Following another vehicle too closely The ABS, BAS and ESP® cannot reduce this risk.

Always adjust your driving style to the pre- vailing road and weather conditions.

Warning!

Do not pump the brake pedal. Use firm, steady brake pedal pressure instead. Pump- ing the brake pedal defeats the purpose of the ABS and significantly reduces braking effectiveness.

The Antilock Brake System (ABS) regulates the brake pressure so that the wheels do not lock during braking. This allows you to maintain the ability to steer your vehicle. The ABS is functional above a speed of ap- proximately 5 mph (8 km/h) independent of road surface conditions. On slippery road surfaces, the ABS will re- spond even to light brake pressure.

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

The - indicator lamp in the instrument cluster (컄 page 24) comes on when you switch on the ignition (컄 page 34). It goes out when the engine is running.

Braking At the instant one of the wheels is about to lock up, a slight pulsation can be felt in the brake pedal, indicating that the ABS is in the regulating mode. 왘 Keep firm and steady pressure on the brake pedal while experiencing the pul- sation.

Continuous steady brake pedal pressure yields the advantages provided by the ABS, namely braking power and the ability to steer the vehicle. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indica- tion of hazardous road conditions and functions as a reminder to take extra care while driving.

Emergency brake maneuver 왘 Keep continuous full pressure on the

brake pedal.

Warning!

The ABS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking or steering efficiency be- yond that afforded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction af- forded. The ABS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, following another vehicle too closely, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, atten- tive, and skillful driver can prevent acci- dents. The capabilities of an ABS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reck- less or dangerous manner which could jeop- ardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

For more information, see “Practical hints” (컄 page 328).

BAS

The Brake Assist System (BAS) operates in emergency situations. If you apply the brakes very quickly, the BAS automatically provides full brake boost, thereby poten- tially reducing the braking distance. 왘 Apply continuous full braking pressure until the emergency braking situation is over. The ABS will prevent the wheels from locking.

When you release the brake pedal, the brakes function again as normal. The BAS is then deactivated.

Warning!

If the BAS is malfunctioning, the brake sys- tem is still functioning normally, but without the additional brake boost available that BAS would normally provide in an emergen- cy braking maneuver. Therefore, the braking distance may increase.

81

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

Warning!

ESP®

The BAS cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase braking efficiency beyond that af- forded by the condition of the vehicle brakes and tires or the traction afforded. The BAS cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, fol- lowing another vehicle too closely, or hydro- planing. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The capabili- ties of a BAS equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or dangerous manner which could jeopardize the user’s safety or the safety of others.

For more information, see the “Practical hints” (컄 page 328).

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is operational as soon as the engine is run- ning and monitors the vehicle’s traction (force of adhesive friction between the tires and the road surface) and handling. The ESP® recognizes when a wheel is spin- ning or if the vehicle starts to skid. By ap- plying brakes to the appropriate wheel and by limiting the engine output, the ESP® works to stabilize the vehicle. The ESP® is especially useful while driving off and on wet or slippery road surfaces. The ESP® also stabilizes the vehicle during braking maneuvers. The ESP® warning lamp v in the instru- ment cluster flashes when the ESP® is en- gaged. The ESP® warning lamp v in the instru- ment cluster comes on when you switch on the ignition (컄 page 34). It goes out when the engine is running.

82

Warning!

Never switch off the ESP® when you see the ESP® warning lamp v flashing in the in- strument cluster. In this case proceed as fol- lows: 앫 While driving off, apply as little throttle

as possible.

앫 While driving ease up on the accelera-

tor.

앫 Adapt your speed and driving style to

the prevailing road conditions.

Failure to observe these guidelines could cause the vehicle to skid. The ESP® cannot prevent accidents result- ing from excessive speed.

! Because of the ESP’s® automatic oper- ation, the engine and ignition must be shut off (SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1 or KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button in position 0 or 1) when 앫 the parking brake is being tested on

a brake test dynamometer

앫 the vehicle is being towed with the

front/rear axle raised

Active braking action through the ESP® may otherwise seriously damage the brake system.

For more information, see “Practical hints” (컄 page 332).

Warning!

The ESP® cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle, nor can it increase the traction afforded. The ESP® cannot prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydroplaning. Only a safe, attentive, and skillful driver can prevent accidents. The ca- pabilities of an ESP® equipped vehicle must never be exploited in a reckless or danger- ous manner which could jeopardize the us- er’s safety or the safety of others.

Distronic* is switched off when the ESP® engages.

The ESP® will only function properly if you use wheels of the recommended tire size (컄 page 410).

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

Switching off the ESP®

Warning!

The ESP® should not be switched off during normal driving other than in the circum- stances described below. Disabling of the system will reduce vehicle stability in stan- dard driving maneuvers.

To improve the vehicle’s traction, switch off the ESP® in driving situations where it would be advantageous to have the drive wheels spin and thus cut into surfaces for better grip such as: 앫 when driving with snow chains 앫 in deep snow 앫 in sand or gravel

Distronic* cannot be activated when the ESP® has been switched off.

83

Safety and Security Driving safety systems

When you switch off the ESP® 앫 the ESP® does not stabilize the vehicle 앫 the engine output is not limited, which

allows the drive wheels to spin and thus cut into surfaces for better grip 앫 the traction control will still brake a

spinning wheel

앫 the ESP® continues to operate when

you are braking

When the ESP® is switched off and one or more drive wheels are spinning, the ESP® warning lamp v in the instru- ment cluster flashes. However, the ESP® will then not stabilize the vehicle.

84

The switch is located on the upper part of the center console.

Warning!

1 ESP® on/off 왘 Press ESP® switch 1 until the ESP®

warning lamp v in the speedometer comes on. The ESP® is switched off.

When the ESP® warning lamp v is illumi- nated continuously, the ESP® is switched off.

Adapt your speed and driving to the prevail- ing road conditions and to the non-operating status of the ESP®.

Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an extended period with the ESP® switched off. This may cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Switching on the ESP® 왘 Press ESP® switch 1.

The ESP® warning lamp v in the in- strument cluster goes out. You are now again in normal driving mode with the ESP® switched on.
