Owner's Manual

This Owner's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment available for your vehicle at the time of this Owner's Manual going to press. Country-specific differences are possible. Note that your vehicle may not be fit‐ ted with all features described. This is also the case for systems and functions relevant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from that in the descriptions and illus‐ trations.

The original purchase agreement for your vehicle contains a list of all of the systems in your vehi‐ cle.

Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are important documents and should be kept in the vehicle.

Operating safety

WARNING Risk of accident due to mal‐ functions 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/ maintenance work as well any required repairs carried out at a qualified spe‐ cialist workshop.

WARNING Risk of accident or injury due to incorrect modifications on electronic component parts

Modification to electronic components, their software or wiring could impair their function and/or the function of other networked com‐ ponent parts. In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected.

As a result, these may no longer function properly and/or jeopardise the operating safety of the vehicle.

Never tamper with the wiring and elec‐ tronic component parts or their soft‐ ware.

You should have all work on electrical and electronic components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen‐ eral operating permit is rendered invalid.

WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable materials on hot parts of the exhaust system

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.

When driving on unpaved roads or offroad, regularly check the vehicle under‐ side.

Nur für internen Gebrauch / For internal use only

General notes

Remove trapped plants or other flam‐ mable material, in particular.

If there is damage, consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

Damage to the vehicle

NOTE

If the underbody panelling is damaged, flam‐ mable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can collect between the underbody and the underbody panelling. These materials may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts on the exhaust system.

In the following situations, in particular, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle:

the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a high kerb or an unpaved road

the vehicle is driven too fast over an

obstacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pot‐ hole

a heavy object strikes the underbody or chassis components

In situations such as this, the body, the underbody, chassis components, wheels or tyres could be damaged without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, may not absorb the loads that arise as intended.

Declaration of Conformity

Electromagnetic compatibility

The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle components has been checked and certified according to the currently valid version of Regu‐ lation UN R10.

Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

If driving safety is impaired while con‐ tinuing your journey, pull over and stop the vehicle immediately in accordance with the traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Wireless vehicle components

The following information applies to all compo‐ nents of the vehicle and the information systems and communication devices integrated into the vehicle which receive and/or transmit radio waves:

The components of this vehicle that receive and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with the basic requirements and all other relevant conditions of Directive 2014/53/EU. You can obtain further information from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

WARNING Risk of accident due to con‐ necting devices to the diagnostics con‐

nection

If you connect equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle, it may affect the

operation of vehicle systems. As a result, the operating safety of the vehi‐

cle could be affected.

Only connect equipment to a diagnos‐

tics connection in the vehicle which is approved for your vehicle by MercedesBenz.

WARNING Risk of accident due to objects in the driver's footwell

Using devices at the diagnostics connection drains the battery.

Objects in the driver's footwell may impede pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.

Stow all objects in the vehicle securely so that they cannot get into the driver's footwell.

Always fit 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.

NOTE Battery discharging from using

vices connected to the diagnostics

de connection

Check the charge level of the battery. If the charge level is low, charge the

battery, e.g. by driving a considerable distance.

Connecting equipment to the diagnostics con‐ nection can lead to emissions monitoring infor‐ mation being reset, for example. This may lead to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of the next emissions inspection during the main inspection.

Qualified specialist workshop

A qualified specialist workshop has the neces‐ sary special skills, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out any necessary work on your vehicle. This particularly applies to work relevant to safety.

Always have the following work carried out on your vehicle at a qualified specialist workshop:

work relevant to safety

service and maintenance work

repair work

modifications as well as installations and conversions

work on electronic components

General notes

Mercedes‑Benz recommends a Mercedes‑Benz service centre.

Vehicle registration

Mercedes-Benz may ask its service centres to carry out technical inspections on certain vehi‐ cles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is improved as a result of the inspection.

Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehi‐ cle checks if Mercedes-Benz has your registra‐ tion data.

It is possible that your vehicle has not yet been registered in your name in the following cases:

if your vehicle was not purchased at an authorised specialist dealer.

if your vehicle has not yet been examined at a Mercedes-Benz service centre.

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 owner‐

ship. You can do this at a Mercedes-Benz service centre, for example.

Correct use of the vehicle

If you remove any warning stickers, you or others could fail to recognise certain dangers. Leave warning stickers in position.

When using the vehicle, observe the following information:

the safety notes in this manual

technical data for the vehicle

traffic rules and regulations

laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

Implied warranty

NOTE Damage to the vehicle arising

om violation of these operating instruc‐

tions.

Damage to the vehicle can arise from viola‐ tion of these operating instructions.

This damage is not covered either by the Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the New‑ or Used-Vehicle Warranty.

Follow the instructions in these operat‐ ing instructions on proper operation of your vehicle as well as on possible vehi‐ cle damage.

QR code for rescue card

The QR code is secured in the fuel filler 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 con‐ tains the most important information about your vehicle in a compact form, e.g. the routing of the electric lines.

Further information can be obtained at http:// www.mercedes-benz.de/qr-code.

Data storage

Electronic control units

Electronic control units are fitted in your vehicle. Some of these are necessary for the safe opera‐ tion of your vehicle, while some assist you when driving (driver assistance systems). In addition, your vehicle provides comfort and entertainment

functions, which are also made possible by elec‐ tronic control units.

Electronic control units contain data memories

which can temporarily or permanently store technical information about the vehicle's operat‐ ing state, component loads, maintenance requirements and technical events or faults.

In general, this information documents the state of a component part, a module, a system or the surroundings such as:

operating states of system components (e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tyre pressure)

status messages concerning the vehicle or its individual components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in

In addition to providing the actual control unit function, this data assists the manufacturer in detecting and rectifying faults and optimising vehicle functions. The majority of this data is temporary and is only processed in the vehicle itself. Only a small portion of the data is stored in the event or fault memory.

When your vehicle is serviced, technical data from the vehicle can be read out by service net‐ work employees (e.g. workshops, manufactur‐ ers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown services). Services include repair services, maintenance processes, warranty claims and quality assur‐

movement, lateral acceleration, display of fastened seat belts)

malfunctions or defects in important system components (e.g. lights, brakes)

information on events leading to vehicle damage

system reactions in special driving situations (e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of sta‐ bility control systems)

ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain sensor)

ance measures, for example. The read out is per‐ formed via the legally prescribed port for the diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The respective service network locations or third parties collect, process and use the data. They document technical statuses of the vehicle, assist in finding faults and improving quality and are transmitted to the manufacturer, if neces‐ sary. Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this, the manufacturer requires technical data from vehicles.

Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service outlet as part of repair or maintenance work.

Depending on the selected equipment, you can import data into vehicle convenience and info‐ tainment functions yourself.

This includes, for example:

multimedia data such as music, films or pho‐ tos for playback in an integrated multimedia system

address book data for use in connection with an integrated hands-free system or an inte‐ grated navigation system

General notes

Nur für internen Gebrauch / For internal use only

entered navigation destinations

data about the use of Internet services

This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or it is located on a device which you have connected to the vehicle (e.g. smartphone, USB flash drive or MP3 player). If this data is stored in the vehi‐ cle, you can delete it at any time. This data is sent to third parties only at your request, partic‐ ularly when you use online services in accord‐ ance with the settings that you have selected.

You can store or change convenience settings/ individualisations in the vehicle at any time.

Depending on the equipment, this includes, for example:

settings for the seat and steering wheel posi‐ tions

suspension and climate control settings

customisations such as interior lighting

If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can connect your smartphone or another mobile end device to the vehicle. You can control this by means of the control elements integrated in the vehicle. Images and audio from the smartphone

can be output via the multimedia system. Cer‐ tain information is simultaneously transferred to your smartphone.

Depending on the type of integration, this can include:

general vehicle data

position data

This allows you to use selected apps on your smartphone, such as navigation or music play‐ back. There is no further interaction between the smartphone and the vehicle; in particular, vehi‐ cle data is not directly accessible. Which type of further data processing occurs is determined by the provider of the specific app used. Which set‐ tings you can make, if any, depends on the spe‐ cific app and the operating system of your smartphone.

Online services

Wireless network connection

If your vehicle has a wireless network connec‐ tion, it enables data to be exchanged between your vehicle and additional systems. The wire‐

less network connection is enabled via the vehi‐ cle's transmission and reception unit or via con‐ nected mobile end devices (e.g. smartphones). Online functions can be used via the wireless network connection. This includes online serv‐ ices and applications/apps provided by the man‐ ufacturer or other providers.

Manufacturer's services

Regarding online services of the manufacturer, the individual functions are described by the manufacturer in a suitable place (e.g. Owner's Manual, website of the manufacturer) along with the relevant data protection information. Per‐ sonal data may be used for the provision of online services. Data is exchanged via a secure connection, e.g. the manufacturer's designated IT systems. Personal data is collected, pro‐ cessed and used via the provision of services exclusively on the basis of legal permissions or with prior consent.

The services and functions (sometimes subject to a fee) can usually be activated or deactivated. In some cases, this also applies to the entire vehicle's data connection. This excludes, in par‐ ticular, legally prescribed functions and services.

Third party services

If it is possible to use online services from other providers, these services are subject to the data protection and terms of use of the responsible provider. The manufacturer has no influence on the content exchanged.

Please enquire, therefore, about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of per‐ sonal data as part of third party services from their respective provider.
