Mobile phone Important notes G WARNING Observe the legal requirements of the country in which you are currently driving regarding operating mobile communications equipment in a vehicle. If it is permitted by law to operate communi- cations equipment while the vehicle is in motion, you must only do so if the traffic sit-
uation permits. Otherwise, you could be dis- tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure yourself and others. Two-way radios and fax equipment used with- out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter- fere with the vehicle's electronics and thereby jeopardise the operating safety of the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you must only use this equipment if it is correctly connected to a separate reflection-free exterior aerial. G WARNING Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation may cause damage to your health and the health of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into account current scientific discussions relating to the possible health risk posed by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an approved exterior aerial. This ensures: Roptimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
Rmutual influences between the vehicle electronics and mobile phones are mini- mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan- tages: Rit conducts the electromagnetic fields gen- erated by a wireless device to the exterior. Rthe field strength in the vehicle interior is lower than in a vehicle that does not have an exterior aerial.

The floormats must be correctly secured at all times using the securing knob and retainers. Before you drive off, check the floormats and secure them if necessary. A floormat which is not properly secured can slip and thereby interfere with the movement of the pedals. Do not place floormats on top of one another.
X Slide the seat backwards. X To fit: lay the floormat in the footwell. X Press studs : onto retainers ;. X To remove: pull the floormat off retain-
ers ;.
X Remove the floormats.
Infrared reflective windscreen The infrared reflecting glass prevents the vehicle interior from becoming too hot. It also blocks radio waves up into the gigahertz range.

Engine compartment Bonnet Opening the bonnet G WARNING Do not pull the release lever while the vehicle is in motion. If you do so, the bonnet may open up and block your view. G WARNING Hybrid vehicles: ensure that you read the "HYBRID" supplement. You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers. G WARNING There is a risk of injury if the bonnet is open, even if the engine is not running. Some engine components can become very hot. To avoid the risk of burns, only touch those components described in the Owner's Manual and observe the relevant safety notes. G WARNING The radiator fan between the radiator and the engine can start automatically, even if the key has been removed from the ignition lock. For this reason, you must not reach into the fan rotation area. You could otherwise be injured.
Vehicles with a petrol engine: The elec- tronic ignition system uses high voltage. For this reason, you must never touch ignition system components (ignition coil, ignition cables, spark plug connectors or test socket) while: Rthe engine is running Rthe engine is being started Rthe ignition is switched on and the engine
is being cranked by hand
You could otherwise suffer an electric shock and be seriously or even fatally injured. Vehicles with a diesel engine: The elec- tronic injection control uses high voltage. For this reason, you must never touch injection system components while: Rthe engine is running Rthe engine is being started Rthe ignition is switched on You could otherwise suffer an electric shock and be seriously or even fatally injured.
X Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
switched off. G WARNING The windscreen wipers and wiper linkage could be set in motion. When the bonnet is open, you or others could be injured by the wiper linkage.

X Lower the bonnet and let it fall from a
height of approximately 20 cm.
X Check that the bonnet has engaged prop-
erly. If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it is not properly engaged. Open it again and close it with a little more force.
Radiator i Vehicles with a diesel engine: do not
cover the radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect protection covers or anything similar. Doing so can cause the Onboard Diagnostics System to display inaccurate values. Some of these values are legally required and must be correct.
Engine oil Notes on oil level G WARNING Hybrid vehicles: ensure that you read the "HYBRID" supplement. You could otherwise fail to recognise dangers.
Depending on driving style, the vehicle con- sumes up to 0.8 l of oil per 1,000 km. The oil consumption may be higher than this when the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at high engine speeds. On vehicles with a 12-cylinder engine, the oil level can be checked using the on-board com- puter. On all other models, the dipstick must be used to check the engine oil level. Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may be installed at a different location. When checking the oil level: Rpark the vehicle on a level surface. Rthe engine should be switched off for
approximately five minutes if the engine is at normal operating temperature.
Rif the engine is not at normal operating temperature, e.g. if the engine was only
