Operating safety
Warning!
G
When your vehicle is in electric drive mode the
drive system produces significantly lower
noise levels. Other motorists or pedestrians,
especially those who are visually or hearing
impaired, may be unable to hear your vehicle
while it is in motion. This is particularly true
when driving at lower speeds and during
parking maneuvers. At all times, it is the
responsibility of the driver to be aware of their
surroundings, especially in these low speed
situations. Otherwise other road users could
be seriously or fatally injured.
The electric drive provides silent driving
conditions when driving off with the highvoltage battery and when the ECO Start/Stop
function is in operation.
Danger of electric shock
The components of the drive system are
indicated by yellow warning labels to make
you aware of high voltage. High-voltage
cables are orange-colored.
Do not attempt to make any repairs or service
of the vehicle's high-voltage system (500 V)
due to the danger of electric shock that may
result in serious or fatal injuries.
Warning!
G
Due to the F-CELL technology, some cables in
your vehicle carry voltages of up to 500 V.
Therefore, all service work on your vehicle
must be carried out only at an authorized
F-CELL Service Center by qualified
technicians.
Contact an authorized F-CELL Service Center.
Authorized F-CELL Service Centers have the
required hydrogen-safe garage.
Particular caution is urged concerning all
parts that are connected to the vehicle’s highvoltage system (500 V), such as components
245_AKB; 1; 73, en-US

in the engine compartment. Orange-colored
cables carry high voltages of up to 500 V
(high-voltage cables) and must not be
damaged.
Do not attempt to make any repairs to or
servicing of the vehicle's high-voltage system
(500 V).
You could be seriously or even fatally injured
when you
R
tamper with components or high-voltage
cables of the drive system
R
open any housings
R
disconnect any plugs
R
touch components or high-voltage cables
of the drive system after the vehicle has
been involved in an accident
R
touch damaged components or damaged
high-voltage cables of the drive system
Immediately have damaged orange-colored
cables that carry a voltage of up to 500 V
replaced only at an authorized F-CELL Service
Center or a qualified workshop. Service
conducted by qualified technicians is required
particularly for safety relevant work and work
on safety relevant systems.
Do not attempt any repairs or to remove the
high-voltage battery of the drive system. Have
the high-voltage battery disposed of in an
environmental-friendly manner by an
authorized F-CELL Service Center.
Warning!
G
Your vehicle operates on hydrogen (H2), which
is contained in pressure containers.
Hydrogen (H2) is highly flammable. If
hydrogen (H2) should leak out of your vehicle,
you will be warned by the hydrogen alarm.
This is indicated by
R
warning signals
R
messages in the multifunction display
Introduction
Warning!
G
Hydrogen (H2) is highly flammable. Never
allow sparks, flames or smoking materials
inside or near the vehicle if a leak has been
detected.
If your vehicle should experience a
hydrogen (H2) leak, you should immediately:
R
Switch off the telephone and other
electrical devices.
R
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do
so in a safe and open area.
R
Do not drive the vehicle into confined areas,
e.g. a garage or tunnel.
R
Turn off the drive system. Exit the vehicle
after stopping in a safe and open area.
Move a safe distance away from the vehicle
and contact an authorized F-CELL Service
Center, or call the Mercedes-Benz
Customer Assistance Center at 1-800-FORMERCedes(1-800-367-6372).
Warning!
G
Have all work on the vehicle, especially safetyrelated work, work on safety-relevant
systems as well as maintenance work, carried
out by an authorized F-CELL Service Center.
As noted there is the risk of serious or fatal
injuries due to improper service of the vehicle.
Warning!
G
Work improperly carried out on electronic
components and associated software could
cause them to cease functioning. Because the
vehicle’s electronic components are
interconnected, any modifications made may
produce an undesired effect on other
systems. Electronic malfunctions could
seriously impair the operating safety of your
vehicle.
Any repairs or modifications to electronic
components of the vehicle should be
performed only at an authorized F-CELL
Service Center by qualified technicians.

Other improper work or modifications on the
vehicle could also have a negative impact on
the operating safety of the vehicle.
Warning!
G
Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody or
tires/wheels may cause serious damage and
impair the operating safety of your vehicle.
Such blows can be caused, for example, by
running over an obstacle, road debris or a
pothole. If you feel a sudden significant
vibration or ride disturbance, or you suspect
that damage to your vehicle as occurred:
R
turn on your hazard warning flashers
R
slow down carefully
R
drive with caution to an area which is a safe
distance from the road
Inspect the vehicle underbody and tires/
wheels for possible damage. If the vehicle
appears unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
authorized F-CELL Service Center for further
inspection or repairs.

Retrofitting the vehicle with a
mobile phone antenna is not permissible.
Damage caused by retrofitting the vehicle
with a mobile phone antenna is not covered
