Introduction
Protection of the environment Notes H Environmental note Daimler's declared policy is one of compre- hensive environmental protection. Our objectives are to use the natural resour- ces which form the basis of our existence on this planet sparingly and in a manner which takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into consideration. You too can help to protect the environment by operating your vehicle in an environmen- tally-responsible manner. Fuel consumption and the rate of engine, transmission, brake and tyre wear depend on the following factors: Roperating conditions of your vehicle Ryour personal driving style You can influence both factors. Therefore, please bear the following in mind: Operating conditions: Ravoid short trips, as these increase fuel
consumption.
Robserve the correct tyre pressure. Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight in the
vehicle.
Rmonitor the vehicle's fuel consumption. Rremove the roof rack once you no longer
need it.
Ra regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should therefore adhere to the service intervals.
Rall maintenance work should be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style: Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
Rdo not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
Rdrive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration.
Rchange gear in good time and use each gear only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed. Rswitch off the engine in stationary traffic.
Returning an end-of-life vehicle Mercedes-Benz will take back your Mercedes-Benz to dispose of it in an environ- mentally responsible manner, in accordance with the European Union (EU) End of Life Vehicles Directive. The End of Life Vehicles Directive applies to vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 t, in accordance with national regulations. For several years, Mercedes-Benz has been meeting all the legal requirements for a design which allows for recycling and re-use. There is a network of return points and dis- assembly plants which can recycle your vehi- cle in an environmentally-responsible man- ner. The options for recycling vehicles and parts are constantly being developed and improved. This means that your Mercedes- Benz will also continue to meet even the increased recycling quotas in the future in good time. You can obtain further information from your national Mercedes-Benz homepage or your national hotline number.
Vehicle equipment
This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment of your vehicle available at the time of publica- tion of the Owner's Manual. Country-specific deviations are possible. Please note that your vehicle may not be equipped with all features described. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. The equip- ment in your vehicle may therefore differ from that shown in the descriptions and illustra- tions. All the systems found in your vehicle are listed in the original purchase agreement of your vehicle.
Introduction
31
Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The Owner's Manual and the Service Booklet are important documents and should be kept in the vehicle.
Operating safety Safety notes G WARNING All work on the vehicle and, in particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related sys- tems must be carried out at a qualified spe- cialist workshop. The specialist workshop must have the necessary specialist knowl- edge and tools to carry out the work required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur- pose. G WARNING Some safety systems only function when the engine is running. You should therefore never switch off the engine when driving. Otherwise, the safety systems of your vehicle may not function correctly and as a result will no lon- ger protect you and other persons as inten- ded. In addition, there is a risk that you may lose control of your vehicle and thus cause an accident. G WARNING Work carried out incorrectly, or alterations made to the vehicle, e.g. re-routing of cables under coverings, could cause the safety sys- tems of your vehicle to stop working properly. The safety systems would thus no longer pro- tect you and other persons as intended. In addition, there is a risk that you may lose con- trol of your vehicle and thus cause an acci- dent. All work and alterations to the vehicle, e.g. installations or modifications, should there-
fore be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G WARNING If work on electronic equipment and its soft- ware is carried out incorrectly, this equipment could stop working. The electronic systems are networked via interfaces. Tampering with these electronic systems could cause mal- functions in systems which have not been modified. Malfunctions such as these can seriously jeopardise the vehicle's operating safety and therefore your own safety. You should therefore have all work and mod- ifications to electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Declarations of conformity Vehicle components which receive and/or transmit radio waves The following information applies to all com- ponents of the vehicle and the COMAND sys- tem which receive and/or transmit radio waves: The components of this vehicle which receive and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with the basic requirements and other rele- vant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can obtain further information from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Electromagnetic compatibility The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehi- cle components has been tested and certified in accordance with the current version of Directive 72/245/EEC or the equivalent ECE-R 10 regulation.
Diagnostics connection G WARNING If you connect equipment to the diagnostics connection, it can affect the operation of the
32
Introduction
vehicle systems. This can impair the operating safety of your vehicle while driving. There is a risk of accident. Do not connect any equipment to the diag- nostics connection. G WARNING Loose equipment or equipment cables that are connected to the diagnostics connection can obstruct the area around the pedals. The equipment or the cables could get between the pedals in the event of sudden braking or acceleration. As a result, the movement of the pedals may be impaired. There is a risk of accident. Do not attach any equipment or cables in the driver footwell.
! If the engine is switched off and equip-
ment on the diagnostics connection is used, the starter battery may discharge. The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic equipment at a qualified specialist workshop. Connecting equipment to the diagnostics connection can, for example, lead to emis- sions monitoring information being reset. This may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of the next emissions test during the main inspection.
Qualified specialist workshop A qualified specialist workshop has the nec- essary specialist knowledge, tools and quali- fications to correctly carry out the work required on your vehicle. This is especially the case for work relevant to safety. Observe the information in the Service Book- let. Always have the following work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop: Rwork relevant to safety Rservice and maintenance work Rrepair work
Ralterations, installation work and modifica-
tions
Rwork on electronic components Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Vehicle registration Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres to carry out technical inspections on certain vehicles to improve their quality or safety. If you did not purchase your vehicle from an authorised specialist dealer and your vehicle has never been inspected at a Mercedes- Benz Service Centre, it is possible that your vehicle is not registered in your name with Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehicle checks if it has your registration data. It is advisable to register your vehicle with a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible about any change in address or vehicle own- ership.
Correct use G WARNING Various warning stickers are affixed to your vehicle. Their purpose is to draw your atten- tion, and the attention of others, to various dangers. Therefore, do not remove any warn- ing stickers unless the sticker clearly states that you may do so. If you remove the warning stickers, you or others could be injured by failing to recognise certain dangers. G WARNING Hybrid vehicles: ensure that you read the "HYBRID" supplement. You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers.
When driving your vehicle observe the follow- ing information: Rthe safety notes in this manual Rthe "Technical data" section in this manual Rtraffic rules and regulations Rlaws and safety standards pertaining to
motor vehicles
Implied warranty ! Follow the instructions in this manual
about the proper operation of your vehicle as well as about possible vehicle damage. Damage to your vehicle that arises from culpable contraventions against these instructions are not covered either by Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New or Used-Vehicle Warranty.
Data stored in the vehicle Fault data Components critical for vehicle operation are equipped with fault data memories as stand- ard. There are also data storage devices which record the technical reactions of vehi- cle components to certain driving situations (e.g. airbag deployment or ESP® interven- tion). This data is used exclusively to: Rassist in the rectification of faults and
defects
Rhelp Mercedes-Benz optimise and develop
vehicle functions
The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements. When your vehicle is serviced by Mercedes- Benz, this technical information can be read out from the fault memory. This is performed by authorised employees of the Mercedes- Benz service network using special diagnos- tic computers.
Introduction
33
After a fault has been rectified, the informa- tion is deleted from the memory. Other mem- ory data is constantly overwritten.
Other devices that store data Depending on the equipment level, your vehi- cle may feature communications and/or entertainment systems (e.g. navigation devi- ces, telephone systems). These allow you to save and edit data required for the operation of the respective device. Further information on operation (e.g. on deleting data) can be found in the separate operating instructions.

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipment available to your vehicle at the time of pub- lication of the Owner's Manual. Country- specific deviations are possible. Please note that your vehicle may not be equipped with all features described. This also applies to safety-relevant systems and functions.
i Please read the information on qualified
specialist workshops (Y page 32).
Occupant safety Important safety notes The seat belts, together with SRS (Supple- mental Restraint System), are complemen- tary, co-ordinated restraint systems (Y page 49). They reduce the risk of injury in specific, pre-defined types of accident sit- uations and thereby increase occupant safety. However, seat belts and airbags gen- erally do not protect against objects pene- trating the vehicle from the outside. To ensure that the restraint systems can deliver their full potential protection, make sure that: Rthe seat and head restraint are adjusted
properly (Y page 102).
Rthe seat belt has been fastened properly
(Y page 57).
Rthe airbags can inflate unrestricted if
deployed (Y page 50).
Rthe steering wheel is adjusted properly
Rthe restraint systems have not been modi-
(Y page 102).

i An airbag increases the protection of vehicle occupants wearing a seat belt. However, airbags are only an additional restraint system which complements, but does not replace, the seat belt. All vehicle
occupants must wear their seat belt cor- rectly at all times, even if the vehicle is equipped with airbags. The airbags are not deployed in all types of accidents. For example, if the protective capacity of cor- rectly fastened seat belts is not increased by deploying the airbags, the airbags will not deploy. Airbag deployment only pro- vides increased protection if the seat belt is worn correctly because: Rthe seat belt helps to keep the vehicle occupant in the best position in relation to the airbag.
Rin a head-on collision, for example, the seat belt prevents the vehicle occupant from being propelled towards the point of impact. It can thus reduce the risk of injury.
In accidents in which an airbag is deployed, it provides increased protection only if the seat belt is worn correctly. G WARNING If service work is not carried out correctly, the operating safety of your vehicle may be affec- ted. This could cause you to lose control of your vehicle and cause an accident. More- over, the safety systems may no longer be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do. Always have service work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G WARNING Modifications to or work performed incor- rectly on the following parts can result in the restraint systems not functioning as intended: Rthe restraint system, consisting of seat
belts and their anchorage points, belt ten- sioners, belt force limiters and airbags
Rthe wiring Rnetworked electronic systems Airbags and belt tensioners could fail to deploy or be triggered in an accident despite the deceleration force being sufficient to trig- ger the systems, or could be triggered unin-

tentionally. For this reason, never make any modifications to the restraint systems. Therefore, you must not tamper with elec- tronic components or their software.
SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) Introduction SRS consists of: Rthe 6 SRS warning lamp Rairbags Rairbag control unit (with crash sensors) Rbelt tensioners Rbelt force limiters SRS reduces the risk of occupants coming into contact with the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident. It can also reduce the effect of the forces to which occupants are subjected during an accident.
SRS warning lamp SRS functions are checked regularly when you switch on the ignition and when the engine is running. Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in good time. The 6 SRS warning lamp in the instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is switched on. It goes out no later than a few seconds after the engine is started. G WARNING If SRS is malfunctioning, individual systems may be triggered unintentionally or might not be triggered in the event of an accident with a high rate of vehicle deceleration. A malfunction has occurred if: Rthe 6 SRS warning lamp does not light
up when the ignition is switched on.
Rthe engine is running and the 6 SRS warning lamp does not go out after a few seconds.
Rthe engine is running and the 6 SRS
warning lamp lights up again.
In this case, have SRS checked immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.
Triggering of belt tensioners, belt force limiters and airbags During the first stage of a collision, the airbag control unit evaluates important physical data relating to vehicle deceleration or accel- eration, such as: Rduration Rdirection Rmagnitude Based on the evaluation of this data, the air- bag control unit pre-emptively triggers the belt tensioners in the first stage. i The front belt tensioners can only be trig- gered if the seat belt tongues on the front seats are correctly engaged in the seat belt buckles.
If there is an even higher rate of vehicle decel- eration or acceleration in a longitudinal direc- tion, the front airbags are also deployed. Your vehicle has adaptive, two-stage front air- bags. The airbag control unit evaluates vehi- cle deceleration or acceleration in the event of a collision. In the first deployment stage, the front airbag is filled with enough propel- lant gas to reduce the risk of injuries. The front airbag is fully deployed if a second deployment threshold is exceeded within a few milliseconds. The belt tensioner and airbag triggering thresholds are variable and are adapted to the rate of deceleration or acceleration of the vehicle. This process is pre-emptive in nature. The triggering process must take place in good time at the start of the collision. i Airbags are not deployed in all types of
accidents. Also, not all airbags are deployed together in an accident. The dif- ferent airbag systems work independently of each other.
50 Occupant safety
How the airbag system works is deter- mined by the severity of the collision detec- ted, especially the vehicle deceleration or acceleration, and the apparent type of acci- dent: Rhead-on collision Rside impact Roverturn
The rate of vehicle deceleration or accelera- tion and the direction of the force are essen- tially determined by: Rthe distribution of forces during the colli-
sion
Rthe collision angle Rthe deformation characteristics of the vehi-
cle
Rthe characteristics of the object with which
the vehicle has collided
Factors which can only be seen and measured after a collision has occurred do not play a decisive role in the deployment of an airbag, nor do they provide an indication of airbag deployment. The vehicle may be deformed significantly, e.g. the bonnet or the wing, without an airbag being deployed. This is the case if only parts which are relatively easily deformed are affec- ted and the rate of deceleration is not high. Conversely, airbags may be deployed even though the vehicle suffers only minor defor- mation. This is the case if, for example, very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal body members are hit, and sufficient deceleration occurs as a result.
Airbags Important safety notes Airbag deployment slows down and restricts the movement of the vehicle occupant. If the airbags are deployed, you will hear a bang and a small amount of powder may also be released. Only in rare cases will the bang affect your hearing. The powder that is
released generally does not constitute a health hazard. The 6 SRS warning lamp lights up. The airbag installation locations are identified by the AIRBAG symbol. G WARNING Airbags provide additional protection; they are not, however, a substitute for seat belts. Observe the following notes to reduce the risk of serious or even fatal injury caused by airbag deployment: Rall vehicle occupants – in particular, preg-
nant women – must wear their seat belt correctly at all times and lean back against the backrest, which should be positioned as close to the vertical as possible. The head restraint must support the back of the head at about eye level.
Ralways secure children less than
1.50 m tall or under 12 years of age in suit- able child restraint systems.
Rall vehicle occupants must select a seat
position that is as far away from the airbag as possible. The driver's seat position must allow the vehicle to be driven safely. The driver's chest should be as far away from the centre of the driver's airbag cover as possible.
Rmove the front-passenger seat as far back as possible. This is especially important if you have secured a child in a child restraint system on the front-passenger seat.
Rvehicle occupants – in particular, children – must not lean their heads into the area of the window in which the sidebag/window- bag is deployed.
Rrearward-facing child restraint systems
must not be fitted to the front-passenger seat unless the front-passenger airbag has been disabled. On the front-passenger seat, the front-passenger airbag is disabled if a child restraint system with a trans- ponder for automatic child seat recognition is fitted to the front-passenger seat in a vehicle equipped with automatic child seat
Occupant safety
51
recognition. The 4 PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF indicator lamp must be continuously lit. If the front-passenger seat of your vehicle does not have automatic child seat recog- nition, or your rearward-facing child restraint system does not have automatic child seat recognition, children must be secured in a child restraint system on a suitable seat in the rear. If you secure a forward-facing child restraint system to the front-passenger seat, you must move the front-passenger seat as far back as possi- ble.
Rmake sure there are no heavy or sharp- edged objects in the pockets of clothing.
Rdo not lean forwards, e.g. over the cover of the driver's/front-passenger front airbag, particularly when the vehicle is in motion.
Rdo not put your feet on the dashboard. Ronly hold the steering wheel on the outside. This allows the airbag to be fully deployed. You could be injured if the airbag is deployed and you are holding the inside of the steering wheel.
Rdo not lean on the doors from inside the
vehicle.
Rmake sure that there are no people, ani-
mals or objects between the vehicle occu- pants and the area where the airbags are deployed.
Rdo not place any objects between the seat
backrest and the door.
Rdo not hang any hard objects, for example, coat hangers, on the grab handles or coat hooks.
Rdo not attach accessories, e.g. cup holders,
to the doors.
It is not possible to rule out a risk of injury being caused by an airbag, due to the high speed at which the airbag must be deployed.
G WARNING Airbag functionality can only be assured if the following parts are not covered and no badges or stickers are attached to them: Rpadded steering wheel boss Rkneebag cover below the steering column Rfront-passenger airbag cover Router side of front seat bolsters Rside trim next to the rear seat backrest Rroof frame cover between the front A-pillar
and the C-pillar in the rear compartment G WARNING When an airbag deploys, a small amount of powder is released. The powder may cause short-term breathing difficulties to persons suffering from asthma or other pulmonary conditions. In order to prevent potential breathing diffi- culties, you should leave the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so. You can also open the window to allow fresh air to enter the vehicle interior. The powder does not constitute a health hazard and does not indicate that there is a fire in the vehicle. G WARNING The airbag parts are hot after the airbag has been deployed. Do not touch them as you could burn yourself. Have the airbags replaced at a qualified spe- cialist workshop. Otherwise, occupants are not protected by the airbags in the event of another accident.
Front airbags The front airbags increase protection for the driver's and front-passenger's head and chest.
