Blind Spot Assist The Blind Spot Assist uses radar sensors to monitor the area on both sides of your vehicle. It will assist you when you change lanes driving at speeds of above 20 mph (30 km/h). A warning will appear in the exterior rear view mirror as soon as another vehicle is detected in the area being monitored. If you then activate the corresponding turn signals to change lanes, you will see and hear a collision warning. The Blind Spot Assist operates using two sensors in the front bumper and four sensors in the rear bumper. G Warning! The Blind Spot Assist is only a driving aid and may not detect all vehicles. The Blind Spot Assist may not be able to detect narrow vehicles such as motorcycles or bicycles, or it may not detect them until it is too late. The monitoring function may be impaired if your sensors are dirty, subject to heavy spray, or if visibility is poor due to e.g. snow, rain, or fog. This can result in vehicles not being detected or being detected too late.

Blind Spot Assist cannot detect road, traffic and weather conditions. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to road, weather and traffic conditions and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so could result in recognizing dangers too late, possibly resulting in an accident and serious injury to yourself and others. In order for the Blind Spot Assist to function, the radar sensors must be switched on and operational. When traveling in Canada in a vehicle not registered in Canada, you must switch off the radar sensor system (Y page 247). Canadian law does not permit the use of the radar sensor system for vehicles from outside of Canada. When you switch off the radar sensor system, the following functions are deactivated: RBlind Spot Assist RBAS Plus (Y page 66) RPRE-SAFE® Brake (Y page 72) RDISTRONIC Plus (Y page 350) RPark Assist (Y page 369) RAdvanced Parking Guidance (Y page 373)

Driving systems

at speeds that exceed the speed of your vehicle significantly will not be detected. There will be no warning display and no audible warning. When driving in a very wide lane, the sensors may not be able to cover the entire width of the neighboring lane. Vehicles driving on the outside of the neighboring lane may not be detected. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to road, weather and traffic conditions and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so could result in recognizing dangers too late, possibly resulting in an accident and serious injury to yourself and others. When driving in a very narrow lane, the sensors may detect and display vehicles in the second lane over. This will be the case if there are vehicles driving on the inside edge of their lane. The Blind Spot Assist sensors are built into the front and rear bumpers. Make sure that the area of the bumpers around the sensors is free of dirt, ice and snow. The radar sensors must not be obstructed, for example, by bicycle carriers or overhanging luggage.

X Start the engine.

Yellow indicator lamps 1 in the exterior rear view mirrors come on up to a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h).

Above a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h), yellow indicator lamps 1 go out and the Blind Spot Assist is active. If the Blind Spot Assist detects a vehicle in its range, red warning lamp 1 on the corresponding side of the vehicle comes on. When you shift the automatic transmission in reverse gear R, yellow indicator lamps 1 in the exterior rear view mirrors goes out after approximately 3 seconds. The Blind Spot Assist is then not active. The brightness of indicator lamps/warning lamps 1 is controlled automatically depending on the brightness of the ambient light. G Warning! The Blind Spot Assist is not active at speeds below approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).

The yellow indicator lamps in the exterior rear view mirrors are illuminated. You will not be alerted to the presence of vehicles in the monitored area at these speeds. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to road, weather and traffic conditions and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so could result in recognizing dangers too late, possibly resulting in an accident and serious injury to yourself and others.

Collision warning If a vehicle is detected in the Blind Spot Assist range and you activate the turn signal, a two- tone warning will sound once and red warning lamp 1 on the corresponding side of the vehicle will flash. G Warning! Do not change lanes or make turns, while red warning lamp 1 is flashing. Doing so could result in an accident and seroius injury to yourself and others.

X Remain on the lane that you are currently on until traffic conditions permit to change.

If the turn signal remains on, red warning lamp 1 will flash to indicate that vehicles

have been detected. No further audible warnings will sound.

Notes on climate control system i If you have the air distribution and air

volume automatically controlled, you can adjust the temperature, footwell temperature and air flow. The following basic settings are recommended: RAutomatic air distribution control

(Y page 388)

RTemperature: 72‡ (22†) (Y page 388) RFootwell temperature: 0 (Y page 226) RAir flow: focused (Y page 226)

The climate control system is operational whenever the engine is running. You can operate the climate control system in either the automatic or manual mode. The system cools or heats the interior depending on the selected interior temperature and the current outside temperature. It can only function optimally when you are driving with the windows and the tilt/sliding sunroof closed. Nearly all dust particles, pollutants and odors are filtered out before outside air enters the passenger compartment through the air distribution system.

G Warning! Severe conditions (e.g. strong air pollution) may require replacement of the filter before its scheduled replacement interval. A clogged filter will reduce the air volume to the interior and the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others. Have a clogged filter replaced as soon as possible at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. G Warning! Follow the recommended settings for heating and cooling given on the following pages and in the “COMAND automatic climate control” section. Otherwise the windows could fog up, impairing visibility and endangering you and others.

X Keep the air intake grille in front of the

windshield free of snow and debris.

Do not obstruct air flow by placing objects on the air flow-through exhaust slots below the rear window. i If the vehicle interior is hot, ventilate the

interior before driving off, see “Summer opening feature” (Y page 327). The climate control will then adjust the interior temperature to the set value much faster.

Loading and storing Loading instructions G Warning! Always fasten items being carried as securely as possible using fastening materials appropriate for the weight and size of the load. In an accident, during hard braking or sudden maneuvers, loose items will be thrown around inside the vehicle and can cause injury to vehicle occupants unless the items are securely fastened in the vehicle. To help avoid personal injury during a collision or sudden maneuver, exercise care when transporting cargo. Do not pile luggage or cargo higher than the seat backrests. The trunk is the preferred place to carry objects. Do not place anything on the rear- window shelf. Never drive vehicle with the trunk open. Deadly carbon monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle interior resulting in unconsciousness and death.

Parcel nets G Warning! The parcel net is intended for storing light- weight items only, such as road maps, mail, etc. Heavy objects, objects with sharp edges or fragile objects may not be transported in the parcel net. In an accident, during hard braking, or sudden maneuvers, they could be thrown around inside the vehicle and cause injury to vehicle occupants. The parcel net cannot protect transported goods in the event of an accident. Parcel nets are located in the front passenger footwell and on the right trunk side wall.

Load distribution The total load weight including vehicle occupants and luggage/cargo should not exceed the total load limit indicated on the corresponding Tire and Loading Information placard located on the driver’s door B-pillar (Y page 432). The handling characteristics of a fully loaded vehicle depend greatly on the load distribution. It is therefore recommended to load the vehicle accordingly with the heaviest items being placed towards the front of the vehicle. Please pay attention to and comply with the following instructions when loading the vehicle and transporting cargo: RAlways place items being carried against front or rear seat backrests, and fasten them as securely as possible.
