Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other networked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly anymore and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
The general operating permit for your vehicle
could be rendered invalid if you carry out
changes to electronic components, their software as well as wiring.

can escape, even from securely closed containers. If you transport these substances
inside the vehicle, this may affect your health
and impair your concentration while you are
driving. It may also cause malfunctions or
electrical component system failures. There is
a risk of fire and accident.
Do not store or transport any substances in
the vehicle that are hazardous to health or
react aggressively.
Examples of substances that are hazardous to
health and/or react aggressively:
R
solvents
R

Protection of the environment
Economical and environmentally aware driving
Environmental note
H
Daimler AG has a declared policy of comprehensive environmental protection.
The objective is to use natural resources sparingly and in a manner that takes the requirements of both nature and humanity into
account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tyre wear depend on
the following factors:
R
the operating conditions of your vehicle
R
your personal driving style
You can influence both factors. For this reason, observe the following notes:
Introduction
Operating conditions
R
avoid short trips as these increase fuel consumption.
R
make sure that the tyre pressures are
always correct.
R
do not carry any unnecessary weight.
R
a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
R
all maintenance work should be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
R
do not warm up the engine with the vehicle
stationary.
R
drive carefully and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front.
R
avoid frequent and heavy acceleration and
braking.
R
change gear in good time and use each gear
only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.
R
switch off the engine when waiting in stationary traffic.
R
keep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consumption.
Operating safety and vehicle registration
Notes on driving
There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R
the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high kerb
or an unpaved road
R
you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
kerb, a speed bump or a pothole in the road
R
a heavy object strikes the underbody or parts
of the chassis
In such situations, the body, frame, underbody,
chassis parts, 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, no longer withstand the
strain they are designed for. If the underbody
panelling is damaged, combustible materials
Z
29
Page 32
Introduction
30
such as leaves, grass or twigs can gather
between the underbody and the underbody panelling. If these materials come in contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system for an extended
period, they can catch fire.
WARNING
G
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop.
Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop. If, on
continuing your journey, you notice that driving
safety is impaired, pull over and stop the vehicle
immediately, paying attention to road and traffic
conditions. In such cases, consult a qualified
specialist workshop.

Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is used for connecting diagnostic equipment at a qualified specialist workshop.
WARNING
G
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 vehicle could be affected. There is a risk of an accident.
Page 33
Only connect equipment to a diagnostics connection in the vehicle, which is approved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
Modifying the engine output
Increased power could:
!
R
change emission levels
R
cause malfunctions
R
lead to consequential damage
The operating safety of the engine cannot be
guaranteed in all situations.
Any tampering with the engine management
system in order to increase the engine power
output will lead to the loss of warranty entitlements.
If the vehicle's engine power output is
increased:
R
tyres, suspension, brake and engine cooling
systems must be adapted to the increased
engine power output
R
have the vehicle recertified
R
report changes in power output to the vehicle
insurers
This will otherwise lead to the invalidation of the
vehicle's general operating permit and its insurance cover.
If you sell the vehicle, inform the buyer of any
alterations to the vehicle's engine power output.
If you do not inform the buyer, this may constitute a punishable offence under national legislation.
Qualified specialist workshop
A qualified specialist workshop has the necessary specialist knowledge, tools and qualifications to carry out the work required on the vehicle correctly.
This is particularly applicable to work relevant to
safety. Observe the notes in the Maintenance or
Service booklet.
You should always have the following work on
your vehicle carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop:
R
safety-relevant work
R
service and maintenance work
R
repair work
Introduction
R
modifications as well as installations and conversions
R
work on electronic components
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Only have work carried out on the engine
!
electronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors, actuating components
and connector leads, at a qualified specialist
workshop. Vehicle components may otherwise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated.
Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres to
carry out technical inspections on certain vehicles. This is always the case if it is possible to
improve quality or safety levels. Mercedes-Benz
can only inform you about vehicle checks if it
has your registration data.
Your registration data are not available if:
R
your vehicle was not purchased at an authorised specialist dealer
R
your vehicle has not yet been inspected 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 ownership.
BlueTec® exhaust gas aftertreatment
The BlueTec® exhaust gas aftertreatment system must be operated in conjunction with the
reducing agent AdBlue® if it is to function correctly.
Information about AdBlue® can be found in the
Service products section (Y page 425).
Topping up and operating the vehicle with
AdBlue® is required for compliance with emissions requirements and is, therefore, a condition of the operating permit for the vehicle. The
operating permit is invalidated if the vehicle is
operated without AdBlue®. The legal consequence of this is that the vehicle may no longer
be operated on public roads.
This may be an offence or a breach of road traffic
regulations in certain countries. Special concessions granted either at the time of purchase
31

Introduction
32
or to reduce operating costs, e.g. reduced taxes
or tolls, may also be rendered invalid retroactively. This may be the case in the country of
registration as well as the country of operation.
Engine management monitors the BlueTec
®
exhaust gas aftertreatment systems for compliance with emissions laws and regulations.
Among other topics, the on-board computer
informs you of:
R
the status of the BlueTec® exhaust gas aftertreatment (Y page 130)
R
the level of AdBlue® (Y page 129)
R
the degree of saturation of the diesel particle
filter (Y page 311)
If you attempt to operate the vehicle without
AdBlue®, with diluted AdBlue® or with a different reducing agent, this will be detected by the
engine management system. Other emissionsrelevant malfunctions, e.g. dosage malfunctions
or sensor errors, are also detected and logged.
The ; indicator lamp displays emissions-relevant faults after the engine is started. On BlueTec®6 vehicles, the ; indicator lamp also
signals the status of the BlueTec® exhaust gas
aftertreatment for a quick on-site check by the
authorities.
The  indicator lamp warns you if the diesel
particle filter reaches a critical degree of loading
and indicates a malfunction.
The on-board computer warns you in good time
about emissions-relevant malfunctions or faulty
operation and displays, according to priority:
R
grey event windows (Y page 153)
R
yellow event windows (Y page 158)
R
red event windows (Y page 176)
On BlueTec®6 vehicles, the on-board computer
also shows the · indicator lamp in the status
area of the display for the duration of the malfunction detected.
If you do not observe these event windows and
their instructions, it is possible that:
R
engine power output will be reduced
R
speed is limited to approximately 20 km/h on
BlueTec®6 vehicles
R
the diesel particle filter will have to be
replaced earlier than intended
If there is a malfunction with the BlueTec
®
exhaust gas aftertreatment system, have it
checked and repaired at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Attachments, bodies, equipment and conversions
Notes on body/equipment mounting
directives
For safety reasons, have bodies manufac-
!
tured and fitted in accordance with the applicable Mercedes-Benz body/equipment
mounting directives. These body/equipment
mounting directives ensure that the chassis
and the body form one unit and that maximum
operating and road safety is achieved.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recommends that:
R
no other modifications should be made to
the vehicle.
R
approval should be obtained from
Mercedes-Benz in the event of deviations
from approved body/equipment mounting
directives.
Approval from certified inspection agencies
or official approvals cannot rule out risks to
your safety.
Technical changes to the vehicle can affect the
functionality of stability control. Observe the
notes in the body/equipment mounting directives.
Observe the information on genuine MercedesBenz parts (Y page 33).
The Mercedes-Benz body/equipment mounting
directives can be found on the Internet at
http://bb-portal.mercedes-benz.com.
There you can also find information on pin
assignment and fuse replacement.
You can obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Notes on the engine radiator
Even seemingly small changes to the vehicle,
such as attaching a radiator trim for winter driving or as protection against insects, are not permitted. Do not cover the radiator. Do not use
thermal mats, insect protection covers or anything similar.
Doing so can cause the diagnostics system to
display inaccurate values. In some countries,
the recording of engine diagnostics data is a
legal requirement, and must always be verifiable
and accurate.
Page 35
Introduction

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
Environmental note
H
Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned
assemblies and parts which are of the same
quality as new parts. For these, the same warranty applies as for new parts.
The operating safety of the vehicle could be
jeopardised if you use parts, tyres and wheels
that have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz.
This could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant systems, e.g. the brake system. Only use
genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of equal
quality. Only use tyres and wheels approved for
your type of vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz checks genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts for:
R
reliability
R
safety
R
suitability
Despite ongoing market research, MercedesBenz is unable to assess other parts. MercedesBenz therefore accepts no responsibility for the
use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles,
even if they have been independently or officially approved by a technical testing centre.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, certain
parts are officially approved for installation or
modification only if they comply with legal
requirements. This is also valid in several other
countries. All genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
meet the approval requirements. The use of
unapproved parts may result in the general
operating permit being invalidated.
This is the case if:
R
they cause a change to the vehicle type from
that for which the vehicle's general operating
permit was granted.
R
other road users could be endangered.
R
the emissions or noise levels are adversely
affected.
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) when ordering genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts (Y page 417).
Data stored in the vehicle
Information from electronic control units
There are electronic control units installed in
your vehicle. Some of these are required for the
safe functioning of your vehicle, some support
you while driving (driver assistance systems).
Your vehicle also offers a range of comfort or
entertainment functions, which are also controlled by the electronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data memories
that can temporarily or permanently store technical information about the vehicle's operating
state, component loading, maintenance requirements as well as technical events and faults.
This information generally documents the condition of a component, a module, a system or the
surroundings, for example:
R
Operating states of system components (e.g.
fill levels, battery status, tyre pressure)
R
Status messages concerning the vehicle or its
individual components (e.g. number of wheel
revolutions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, display of fastened
seat belts)
R
Malfunctions and defects in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R
information concerning events that may damage the vehicle
R
System responses in special driving situations (e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of
stability control systems)
R
Ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, rain
sensor)
In addition to performing the actual control unit
function, this data is used by manufacturers to
detect and rectify faults and to optimise vehicle
functions. Most of this data is stored in volatile
memory and processed only in the vehicle itself.
Only a small part of the data is stored in event or
fault memories.
When you use services, the technical data from
the vehicle can be read out by service network
employees or third parties. Services can include
repair services, maintenance processes, warranty cases and quality assurance measures.
The data is read out via the connection for OBD
(European on-board diagnostics) in the vehicle,
which is required by law. The relevant offices in
the service network or third parties collect,
process and use the data. This data documents
Z
Page 36
Introduction
34
the vehicle's technical states, is used to help in
finding faults and improving quality and is sent
to the manufacturer where necessary. In addition, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. The manufacturer needs technical data
from vehicles for this purpose.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a
service outlet during repair or service work.
Depending on the selected equipment, you can
import your own data into vehicle convenience
and infotainment functions.
These include, for example:
R
multimedia data such as music, films or photos for playback in an integrated multimedia
system
R
address book data for use in conjunction with
an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system
R
navigation destinations that have been
entered
R
data about using Internet services
This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or is
located on a device that you have connected to
the vehicle. If this data is saved in the vehicle,
you can delete it at any time. This data is sent to
third parties only at your request, particularly
when you use online services in accordance with
the settings that you have selected.
You can save convenience settings/personalised settings in the vehicle and modify them at
any time.
Depending on the piece of equipment in question, these can include:
R
settings for the seat and steering wheel positions
R
suspension and climate control settings
R
customisations such as interior lighting
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you
can connect your smartphone or another mobile
terminal to the vehicle. You can control this by
means of the control elements integrated in the
vehicle. The smartphone's picture and sound
can be output via the multimedia system. Specific items of information are also sent to your
smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this can
include:
R
general vehicle status
R
position data
This allows the use of selected smartphone
apps, such as navigation or music player apps.
There is no additional interaction between the
smartphone and the vehicle, particularly active
access to vehicle data. The type of additional
data processing is determined by the provider of
the app being used. Whether you can configure
settings for it and, if so, which ones, depends on
the app and your smartphone's operating system.
Service provider
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection, data can be exchanged between your vehicle and other systems. The wireless network
connection is made possible by the vehicle's
own transmitter and receiver or by mobile end
devices that you have brought into the vehicle
(e.g. smartphones). This wireless network connection enables online functions to be used.
These include online services and applications/
Apps provided by the manufacturer or other
providers.
Services provided by the manufacturer
In the case of online services provided by the
manufacturer, the manufacturer describes the
respective functions in an appropriate place
together with the associated legal data protection information. Personal data can be used in
order to provide online services. The data
exchange for this takes place via a secure connection, e.g. with the manufacturer's IT systems
intended for the purpose. The collection, processing and use of personal data that goes
beyond the provision of services will only take
place on the basis of a legal permit or consent.
You can usually activate and deactivate the services and functions (some of which are subject to
a fee). In some cases, this also applies to the
vehicle's entire data connection. This does not
include legally prescribed functions and services such as the "E-Call" emergency call system.
Services from third parties
If it is possible to use online services from other
providers, these services are the responsibility
of the provider in question and subject to that
provider's data protection conditions and terms
of use. The manufacturer has no influence over
the data exchanged in such cases.
Page 37
For this reason, please ask the service provider
for information about the type, extent and purpose of the collection and use of personal data
when services are provided by third parties.

Useful information
These Operating Instructions describe all the
models and standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle that were available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific differences are
possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not
be equipped with all the functions described.
This also applies to safety-relevant systems and
functions.
Read the information on qualified specialist

Occupant safety
Introduction to the restraint system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehicle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle's interior in the event of an accident.
The restraint system can also reduce the forces
to which vehicle occupants are subjected during
an accident.
The restraint system includes the:
R
seat belt system
R
driver's airbag
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only offer
protection if all vehicle occupants always:
R
have the seat belt correctly fastened
(Y page 51)
R
have the seat adjusted properly
(Y page 73)
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
head restraints must also be adjusted properly.
As the driver, you must also make sure that the
steering wheel is also adjusted properly.
Observe the information on the correct driver's
seat position (Y page 73).
In addition, you must make sure that the airbags
can inflate properly if they are deployed
(Y page 52).
The driver's airbag supplements a correctly
worn seat belt. As an additional safety device,
the driver's airbag increases the level of protection for the driver in the event of an accident.
The driver's airbag is not deployed, for example,
in the event of an accident in which sufficient
protection is offered by the seat belt. However,
the seat belt and driver's airbag generally do not
protect against objects penetrating the vehicle
from the outside.
Information on how the restraint system operates can be found under "Deployment of the belt
tensioner and driver's airbag" (Y page 53).
See "Children in the vehicle" for information on
children travelling with you in the vehicle as well
as on child restraint systems (Y page 54).
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
If the restraint system is modified, it may no
longer work as intended. The restraint system
may then not perform its intended protective
function by failing in an accident or triggering
unexpectedly, for example. There is an
increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Never modify parts of the restraint system. Do
not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
If the vehicle is adapted to a person with a physical disability, contact a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Restraint system warning lamp
The functions of the restraint system are
checked after the ignition is switched on and at
regular intervals while the engine is running.
Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in
good time.
If the 6 restraint system warning lamp lights
up in the status area of the on-board computer,
the restraint system is malfunctioning.
WARNING
G
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be triggered unintentionally or may not deploy as
intended during an accident. This may affect
the seat belt tensioner or airbag, for example.
This poses an increased risk of injury or even
fatal injury.
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified specialist
workshop.

Seat belts
Introduction
A correctly worn seat belt is the most effective
means of restraining the movement of vehicle
occupants in the event of a collision. This
reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming
into contact with parts of the vehicle interior or
being ejected from it. The seat belt also helps to
Safety
keep the vehicle occupants in the best position
in relation to the airbag being deployed.
The seat belt system consists of:
R
seat belts
R
belt tensioners for the seat belt of the driver's
seat
If the seat belt is pulled quickly or sharply from
the belt outlet, the inertia reel locks. The belt
strap cannot be pulled out any further.
The belt tensioner tightens the seat belt in the
event of a collision so that it fits tightly across
your body. However, it does not pull the driver
back in the direction of the seat backrest.
The belt tensioner does not, however, correct an
incorrect seat position or correct the routing of
a seat belt that is worn incorrectly.
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
If the seat belt is worn incorrectly, it cannot
perform its intended protective function. Furthermore, an incorrectly worn seat belt can
cause additional injuries, e.g. in the event of
an accident, heavy braking or sudden
changes of direction. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting properly.
The components of the restraint system work in
conjunction with each other. They can only offer
protection if all vehicle occupants always:
R
have the seat belt correctly fastened
(Y page 51)
R
have the seat adjusted properly
(Y page 73)
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
head restraints must also be adjusted properly.
WARNING
G
The seat belt does not offer the intended level
of protection if you have not moved the backrest to an almost vertical position. When braking or in the event of an accident, you could
slide underneath the seat belt and sustain
abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This
poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal
injury.
Adjust the seat properly before beginning
your journey. Always ensure that the backrest
is in an almost vertical position and that the
shoulder section of your seatbelt is routed
across the centre of your shoulder.
WARNING
G
Persons under 1.50 m tall cannot wear the
seat belts correctly without an additional suitable restraint system. If the seat belt is worn
incorrectly, it cannot perform its intended
protective function. Furthermore, an incorrectly worn seat belt can cause additional
injuries, e.g. in the event of an accident, heavy
braking or sudden changes of direction. There
is an increased risk of injury, possibly even
fatal.
Always secure persons less than 1.50 m tall in
additional suitable restraint systems.
If a child younger than twelve years old and
under 1.50 m in height is travelling in the vehicle:
R
Always secure the child in a child restraint
system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The child restraint system must be appropriate to the age, weight and size of the child
R
Be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(Y page 54) in addition to the manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for
the child restraint system
Page 53
WARNING
G
Seat belts cannot protect as intended, if:
R
they are damaged, have been modified, are
extremely dirty, bleached or dyed
R
the seat belt buckle is damaged or
extremely dirty
R
modifications have been made to the belt
tensioners, belt anchorages or inertia reels
Seat belts may sustain non-visible damage in
an accident, e.g. due to glass splinters. Modified or damaged seat belts can tear or fail, for
example in the event of an accident. Modified
seat belt tensioners may be deployed unintentionally or not function as intended. There
is an increased risk of injury, possibly even
fatal.
Never modify seat belts, seat belt tensioners,
seat belt anchorages and inertia reels. Ensure
that seat belts are not damaged or worn and
are clean. After an accident, have the seat
belts checked immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use seat
belts that have been specifically approved for
the relevant vehicle type by Mercedes-Benz.
Otherwise, your vehicle's general operating permit could be invalidated.
Correct seat belt use
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Y page 50).
All vehicle occupants must be wearing the seat
belt correctly before beginning the journey. Also
make sure that all vehicle occupants are always
wearing the seat belt correctly while the vehicle
is in motion.
When fastening the seat belt, always make sure
that:
R
the seat belt buckle tongue is inserted only
into the belt buckle belonging to that seat
R
the seat belt is pulled tight across the body
Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter
coat.
R
the seat belt is not twisted
Only then can any forces that occur be dis-
tributed across the surface of the seat belt.
Occupant safety
R
the shoulder section of the belt is routed
across the centre of the shoulder
The shoulder section of the seat belt should
not touch your neck or be routed under your
arm or behind your back. If possible, adjust
the seat belt to the appropriate height.
R
the lap belt is taut and passes across the lap
as low down as possible
The lap belt must always be routed across
your hip joints and never across your abdomen. This applies particularly to pregnant
women. If necessary, press the lap belt down
into your hip joints and pull tight with the
shoulder section of the belt.
R
the seat belt is not routed across sharp, pointed or fragile objects
If you have such items located on or in your
clothing, e.g. pens, keys or spectacles, store
these in a suitable place.
R
only one person is using a seat belt
Infants and children must never travel sitting
on the lap of a vehicle occupant. In the event
of an accident, they could be crushed
between the vehicle occupant and seat belt.
R
objects are never secured with a seat belt if
the seat belt is also being used by one of the
vehicle's occupants
Also ensure that no objects are placed
between a person and the seat. e.g. a cushion.
Seat belts are intended only to secure and
restrain vehicle occupants. Always observe the
instructions and safety notes on "Stowage compartments" for securing objects, luggage or
loads (Y page 107).
Fastening the seat belt
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Y page 50) and the information on the correct
use of the seat belt (Y page 51).

Belt warning for the driver
The 7 seat belt warning lamp in the status
area of the on-board computer is a reminder that
all vehicle occupants must wear their seat belts.
It may light up continuously or flash. In addition,
a warning tone may sound.
The 7 seat belt warning lamp goes out and
the warning tone ceases as soon as the driver
has fastened the seat belt.
Airbag
Introduction
The driver's airbag installation location is identified by the label AIRBAG.
An airbag supplements a correctly fastened seat
belt. It is not a substitute for seat belts. The airbag provides additional protection in the corresponding accident situations.
However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities.
Due to the required speed of the airbag after
deployment, it is also not possible to entirely
rule out the risk of injuries caused by the airbag.
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
If you deviate from the correct seat position,
the airbag cannot perform its intended protective function and can even cause additional injuries when deployed. There is an
increased risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
In order to avoid such risks, always ensure
that all vehicle occupants:
R
fasten their seatbelts correctly, including
pregnant women
R
observe the following notes
Always ensure that there are no objects located between the airbag and the vehicle occupant.
R
Adjust the seats properly before beginning
your journey. Always make sure that the seat
is in an almost upright position.
R
Move the driver's seat as far back as possible.
The seat position must allow the vehicle to be
driven safely.
R
Hold the steering wheel only by the rim. This
allows the airbag to be fully deployed.
Page 55
R
Always lean against the backrest while driving. Do not lean forwards. You may otherwise
be in the deployment area of the airbag.
R
Always secure persons less than 1.50 m tall in
suitable restraint systems. Up to this height,
the seat belt cannot be worn correctly.
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, also
observe the following notes:
R
Always secure children under twelve years of
age and less than 1.50 m tall in suitable child
restraint systems.
R
Be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes on "Children in the vehicle"
(Y page 54) in addition to the manufacturer's operating and installation instructions for
the child restraint system.
Objects in the vehicle interior may prevent
the airbag from functioning correctly. Before
starting your journey and to avoid risks resulting
from the speed of the airbag as it deploys, make
sure that:
R
there are no people, animals or objects
between the driver and the driver's airbag
R
no accessories are attached to the vehicle
within the deployment area of an airbag, e.g.
to the steering wheel or doors
R
no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects are in
the pockets of your clothing. Store such
objects in a suitable place.
WARNING
G
If you modify an airbag cover or affix objects
such as stickers to it, the airbag can no longer
function correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Never modify an airbag cover or affix objects
to it.
Occupant safety
Deployment of the belt tensioner and the driver's airbag
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
After the airbag deploys, the airbag parts are
hot. There is a risk of injury.
Do not touch the airbag parts. Have a
deployed airbag replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible.
WARNING
G
Pyrotechnical belt tensioners which have
been triggered are no longer operational and
therefore cannot protect as intended. There is
an increased risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Have pyrotechnic belt tensioners which have
been triggered replaced at a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop
after an accident. This is particularly important if
a belt tensioner or an airbag has been triggered.
If the belt tensioners or airbags are deployed,
you will hear a bang, and a small amount of
powder may also be released. The 6
restraint system warning lamp lights up.
Only in rare cases will the bang affect your hearing. The powder that is released generally does
not constitute a health hazard, however it may
cause short-term breathing difficulties to persons suffering from asthma or other pulmonary
conditions. If it is safe to do so, you should leave
the vehicle immediately or open a window in
order to prevent breathing difficulties.
53
Safety
Driver's airbag
The driver's airbag deploys in front of the steering wheel. When deployed, it offers additional
head and thorax protection for the occupant in
the driver's seat.
Mode of operation
During the first stage of a collision, the restraint
system control unit evaluates important physical data relating to vehicle deceleration, such
as:
R
duration
R
direction
R
intensity
Based on the evaluation of this data, the
restraint system control unit triggers the belt
tensioner for the seat belt on the driver's seat
Z
Page 56
Children in the vehicle
54
and the driver's airbag in the event of a frontal
collision.
The belt tensioner can only be triggered if:
R
the ignition is switched on
R
the components of the restraint system are
operational. You can find further information
under "Restraint system warning lamp"
(Y page 49)
Safety
The activation threshold for the belt tensioner
and driver's airbag is determined by evaluating
the cab deceleration. This process is pre-emptive in nature. The triggering process must take
place in good time at the start of the collision.
The cab's rate of deceleration and the direction
of the force are essentially determined by:
R
the distribution of the force during the impact
R
the collision angle
R
the deformation characteristics of the cab
R
the characteristics of the object with which
the vehicle has collided
Factors which can only be seen and measured
after the 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 without the airbag being deployed. This is the case if
only parts which are relatively easily deformed
are affected and the rate of deceleration is not
high. Conversely, an airbag may be deployed
even though the vehicle suffers only minor
deformation. 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.
Children in the vehicle
Important safety notes
If a child younger than twelve years old and
under 1.50 m in height is travelling in the vehicle:
R
always secure the child in a child restraint
system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The child restraint system must be appropriate to the age, weight and size of the child.
R
be sure to observe the instructions and safety
notes in this section in addition to the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation
instructions.
WARNING
G
If you leave children unattended in the vehicle, they could set the vehicle in motion by, for
example:
R
releasing the parking brake
R
shifting the transmission into neutral
R
starting the engine
They could also operate the vehicle's equipment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING
G
If persons (particularly children) are exposed
to heat or cold for a prolonged period, there is
a risk of serious or even fatal injuries. Never
leave persons (particularly children) unattended in the vehicle.
WARNING
G
If the child restraint system is placed in direct
sunlight, the parts could become very hot.
Children could be suffer burns by touching
these parts, in particular on the metallic parts
of the child restraint system. There is a risk of
injury.
If you and your child leave the vehicle, always
make sure that the child restraint system is
not in direct sunlight. Cover it with a blanket,
for example. If the child restraint system has
been exposed to direct sunlight, leave it to
cool down before securing the child in it.
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have
their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting
properly. Particular attention must be paid to
children.
Observe the safety notes on the seat belt
(Y page 50) and the information on the correct
use of the seat belt (Y page 51).

Child restraint system
WARNING
G
If the child restraint system is incorrectly fitted on the seat position suitable for this purpose, it cannot perform its intended protective function. In the event of an accident,
sharp braking or a sudden change in direction,
the child may not be held securely. There is an
increased risk of serious or even fatal injuries.
Observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions and the correct use for the child
restraint system. Make sure that the entire
surface of the child restraint system is resting
on the seat surface. Never place objects
under or behind the child restraint system,
e.g. cushions. Only use child restraint systems with the original cover designed for
them. Only replace damaged covers with genuine covers.
WARNING
G
If the child restraint system is fitted incorrectly or is not secured, it can come loose in
the event of an accident, heavy braking or a
sudden change in direction. The child
restraint system could be thrown about, striking vehicle occupants. There is an increased
risk of injury, possibly even fatal.
Always fit child restraint systems properly,
even if they are not being used. Make sure
that you observe the child restraint system
manufacturer's installation instructions.
Further information on stowing objects, luggage
and loads securely can be found under "Stowage compartments" (Y page 107).
WARNING
G
Child restraint systems or their securing systems that have been damaged or subjected to
a load in an accident cannot perform their
intended protective function. In the event of
an accident, sharp braking or a sudden
change in direction, the child may not be held
securely. There is an increased risk of serious
or even fatal injuries.
Immediately replace child restraint systems
that have been damaged or subjected to a
load in an accident. Have the child restraint
securing systems checked in a qualified specialist workshop before fitting a child restraint
system again.
Observe the warning labels on the child restraint
system.
If children are travelling in the vehicle, always
observe the safety notes on "Children in the
vehicle" as well (Y page 54).
"Universal"-category child restraint systems can
be recognised by their orange approval label.
Example: approval label on the child restraint system
The seat belt system serves as the securing system for child restraint systems.
If you secure a child in a child restraint system
on the front-passenger seat, always move the
front-passenger seat as far back as possible.
The entire base of the child restraint system
must always rest on the seat cushion of the
front-passenger seat. The backrest of a forwardfacing child restraint system must, as far as
possible, rest flat against the backrest of the
front-passenger seat. The child restraint system
must not be put under strain by the head
restraint. If possible, adjust the head restraint
position accordingly. Always make sure that the
shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the
belt sash guide to the shoulder belt guide on the
child restraint system. The shoulder belt strap
must be routed forwards and downwards from
the belt sash guide. If necessary, adjust the belt
sash guide accordingly. In addition, always
observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.

If the driver's seat is not correctly engaged, it
could unexpectedly move while driving. This
could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always ensure that the driver's seat is
engaged before starting the vehicle.
WARNING
G
The head restraints cannot provide the intended protection unless they are fitted and
adjusted correctly. There is an increased risk
of injury to the head and neck in the event of
an accident or sudden braking, for example.
Always drive with the head restraints fitted.
Ensure that the centre of the head restraints
support the back of each vehicle occupant's
head at eye level before driving off.

heating, observe the following notes:
R
Do not pour any fluid on the seats. If fluid is
poured on the seats, dry it as quickly as
possible.
R
If the seat covers are damp or wet, do not
switch on the seat heating. Also, do not use
the seat heating to dry the seats.
R
Clean the seat covers as recommended;
see the "Cleaning and care" section.
R
Do not transport any heavy loads on the
seats. Do not place any pointed objects on
the seat cushions, such as e.g. knives, nails
or tools. As far as possible, only use the
seats for people.
R
When operating the seat heating, do not
cover the seats with insulating materials,
e.g. blankets, coats, bags, protective covers, child seats or booster seats.
Ensure that no objects in the cab are block-
!
ing the seats. The seats could otherwise be
damaged.
Driver's workstation
Your seat must be adjusted in such a way that
you can fasten your seat belt correctly. Observe
the following points:
R
set the seat backrest to a position as near to
vertical as possible and sit as upright as possible. Never drive with the seat backrest
reclined too far back.
R
your arms should be slightly bent when you
are holding the steering wheel.
R
avoid seat positions which do not allow the
seat belt to be routed correctly. The shoulder
section of the belt must be routed across the
centre of your shoulder and be pulled tightly
against your upper body. The lap belt must
always be routed across your lap tightly and
as low down as possible, i.e. across your hips.
R
maintain a distance to the pedals that allows
you to depress them fully.
Your vehicle may be equipped with different
types of seats depending on the cab and the
vehicle's equipment:
R
static seat without suspension
R
standard suspension seat
R
luxury suspension seat
R
air-conditioned suspension seat
R
co-driver's and centre seat
R
function seat
R
corner seat
Also observe the safety notes on the airbag system (Y page 52) and on children in the vehicle
(Y page 54).
If your vehicle is equipped with a suspension
seat, always use the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
when getting out of the vehicle.
To operate a suspension seat, a reservoir pressure of at least 7 bar is required in your vehicle's
compressed-air system.
Do not use the seat as a step to help you access
the upper berth, for example.
A seat with an integrated seat belt is a safetyrelevant component and restraint system.
Ensure that you read the safety guidelines in the
"Occupant safety" section (Y page 50).
Information on seat cleaning can be found in the
"Cleaning and care" section (Y page 349).
Always have work on the seats performed at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Operating the seats
Static seat, centre seat and standard/
comfort/air-conditioned suspension

WARNING
G
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during use. When replacing a
bulb, you could burn yourself on these components. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before
replacing the bulb.
DANGER
G
Xenon bulbs are under high voltage. You can
get an electric shock if you remove the cover
of the xenon bulb and touch the electrical
contacts. There is a risk of fatal injury.
Never touch the parts or the electrical contacts of the xenon bulb. Always have work on
the xenon bulbs carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Z
Page 94
Lighting system
92
If your vehicle is equipped with bi-xenon bulbs,
you can recognise this by the following: the cone
of light from the xenon bulbs moves from the top
to the bottom and back again when you start the
engine. Dipped-beam headlamps must be
switched on before the engine is switched on.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore ensure that
all bulbs are functioning at all times.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that if a dippedbeam headlamp or main-beam headlamp bulb
fails, the corresponding bulb in the other headlamp should be replaced at the same time.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
Mercedes-Benz longlife bulbs for this purpose.
R
To prevent a short circuit, switch the lighting
system off and the ignition lock to position 0
before replacing a bulb.
R
Wear eye protection and gloves when removing defective bulbs.
R
Always replace defective bulbs with the specified new bulbs, i.e. those with the correct
wattage and voltage.
Driver's workstation
R
Only hold bulbs with a clean, lint-free cloth or
a similar item. Do not work with wet or greasy
fingers.
R
Test the contacts for corrosion and clean
them if necessary.
R
Check that all seals are positioned correctly,
and replace damaged seals.
R
If the new bulb does not light up, consult a
qualified specialist workshop.
