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 of 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 jeopardize 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.

Observe the "On-board electronics" section in "Technical data".

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.

Remove trapped plants or other flam‐ mable material.

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

NOTE Damage to the vehicle

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

The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a high curb or an unpaved road

The vehicle is driven too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a curb, 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 tires could be damaged without the damage being visible. Components damaged in this

General notes

way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, may not absorb the loads that arise as intended.

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

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.

Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical sys‐ tem (EQ Boost technology)

DANGER Risk of fatal injury by touching damaged high-voltage components

Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical sys‐ tem contain individual high-voltage compo‐ nents. These high-voltage components are under high voltage.

If you modify component parts of these highvoltage components or touch damaged com‐ ponent parts, you may be electrocuted.

High voltage components may be damaged in an accident, although the damage may not be visible.

Never perform modifications to compo‐ nent parts of high-voltage components.

Never touch damaged component parts of high-voltage components.

Never touch component parts of highvoltage components after an accident.

Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system contain high voltage components. These compo‐ nents are marked with a high voltage label:

All work on high voltage components must be carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Diagnostics connection

The diagnostics connection is only intended for the connection of diagnostic devices at a quali‐ fied specialist workshop.

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

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

This jeopardizes the operating and road safety of the vehicle.

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

Always install 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

devices connected to the diagnostics connection

Using devices at the diagnostics connection drains the battery.

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

An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is a quali‐ fied specialist workshop. It has the necessary special skills, tools and qualifications to cor‐ rectly carry out the work required on your vehi‐ cle. This particularly applies to safety-relevant works.

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.

Data storage

Electronic control units

Electronic control units are installed in your vehi‐ cle. Some of these are necessary for the safe operation 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 electronic control units.

Electronic control units contain data memories which can temporarily or permanently store

General notes

technical information about the vehicle's operat‐ ing state, component loads, maintenance requirements and technical events or malfunc‐ tions.

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

operating status of system components (e.g. fill levels, battery status, tire pressure)

status messages concerning the vehicle or its individual components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions/speed, longitudinal accel‐ eration, lateral acceleration, display of fas‐ tened seat belts)

malfunctions or faults 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)

In addition to providing the actual control unit function, this data assists the manufacturer in detecting and rectifying malfunctions and opti‐ mizing 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 malfunction 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‐ 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 malfunctions and improving quality and are transmitted to the manufacturer, if necessary. Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this, the manu‐ facturer 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 the vehicle's comfort 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

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.

General notes

You can store or change convenience settings/ individualization 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

customizations such as interior lighting

If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can connect your smartphone or another mobile end device to the vehicle. Yo u 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. Operator'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 inquire, therefore, about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of per‐
