General notes

Operator's Manual

This Supplement provides information on all the important functions of your AMG vehicle that are either not described or differ from the descrip‐ tions in the vehicle Operator's Manual. This information supplements or replaces the corre‐ sponding sections in the vehicle Operator's Man‐ ual. Under no circumstances does the Supple‐ ment replace the Operator's Manual.

This Supplement describes all models, and standard and optional equipment for your vehi‐ cle, as available at the time of going to print. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also applies to safety-relevant systems and functions. There‐ fore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from that in the descriptions and illustrations.

The original purchase contract documentation for your vehicle contains a list of all of the sys‐ tems in your vehicle.

Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

The Operator's Manual, the Supplement and the Maintenance Booklet are important documents and should 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 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, in particular.

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

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 jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle.

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

General notes

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

NOTE Damage to the vehicle

Damage to the vehicle may occur in the fol‐ lowing cases:

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 parts of the chassis.

In situations such as this, the body, the underbody, chassis parts, wheels or tires 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 to.

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

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, paying atten‐ tion to road and traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Qualified specialist workshop

An authorized Mercedes-Benz Center is a quali‐ fied specialist workshop. It has the necessary specialist knowledge, tools and qualifications to correctly carry out the work required on your vehicle. This particularly applies to work relevant to safety.

For the following, always have your vehicle checked at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen‐ ter:

Work relevant to safety

Service and maintenance work

Repair work

Modifications, installations and conversions

Work on electronic component parts

Correct use of the vehicle

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

Observe the following information when driving your vehicle:

the safety notes in this manual

the vehicle technical data

traffic rules and regulations

laws and safety standards pertaining to motor vehicles

General notes

Reduced protection

The AMG sport seat and the AMG Performance seat are designed for the standard three-point seat belt. If you install another multipoint seat belt, e.g. sport or racing seat belts, the restraint system may not provide the correct level of pro‐ tection.

Depending on the type of seat, there may be openings in the seat backrest. These openings have no function.

WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury due to modified seat belt systems

If you feed seat belts through the opening in the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be damaged or may even break in the event of an accident.

Only use the standard three-point seat belt.

Never modify the seat belt system.

Notes on breaking-in a new vehicle

To preserve the engine during the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km):

Drive at varying road speeds and engine speeds.

Do not drive faster than 85 mph (140 km/h).

Only briefly allow the engine to reach a maxi‐ mum engine speed of 4,500 rpm (4,500 1/min) only briefly.

Mercedes-AMG E 43 4MATIC: Drive in drive program C or E.

Mercedes‑AMG E 63 4MATIC and Mercedes‑AMG E 63 S 4MATIC: Drive in drive program C.

Change up before the tachometer needle is Ô of the way to the red area of the tachome‐ ter.

Do not shift down a gear manually in order to brake.

Avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at full throttle.

Do not depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown).

Only increase the engine speed gradually and accelerate the vehicle to full speed after 1,000 miles (1,500 km).

This also applies when the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced.

Please also observe the following running-in notes:

In certain driving and driving safety systems, the sensors adjust automatically while a cer‐ tain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after re tem effecti

veness is not achieved until the

pairs. Full sys‐

end of this teach-in process.

Brake linings, brake discs and tires that are either new or have been replaced only ach‐ ieve optimum braking effect and grip after several hundred kilometers of driving. Com‐ pensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal.

Driving

Notes on the rear axle locking differential

The rear axle locking differential is only available for the Mercedes‑AMG E 63 4MATIC and Mercedes‑AMG E 63 S 4MATIC models.

Changing the oil at the rear axle prolongs the service life of the differential.

Have the oil change carried out at a qualified specialist workshop:

After a breaking-in period of 2000 miles (3000 km).

Every 30000 miles (50000 km) or three years.

Operation of the ECO start/stop function

The engine is switched off automatically:

If you brake the vehicle to a standstill in transmission position h or i.

If all vehicle conditions for an automatic engine stop are met.

The è symbol appears in the multifunction display when the vehicle is stationary.
