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 press.
Country-specific differences are possible. Bear
in mind that your vehicle may not feature all
functions described here. 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 illustra‐
tions.
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 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 and injury as
a result of incorrect modifications to
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, they may no longer function as
intended and/or endanger 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" in the vehicle Operator's Man‐
ual.

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:
R
The vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high curb or an unpaved road
R
The vehicle is driven too fast over an
obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
R
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
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.
or
#
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.

fied specialist workshop. It has the necessary
special skills, tools and qualifications to cor‐
rectly carry out the work required on your vehi‐

Occupant safety
Driving
Breaking-in notes
To preserve the engine during the first
1,000 miles (1,500 km):
R
drive at varying road speeds and engine
speeds.
R
do not drive faster than 85 mph (140 km/h).
R
allow the engine to reach a maximum engine
speed of 4,500 rpm (4,500 rpm) only briefly.
R
drive the vehicle in drive program A.
R
change gear before the tachometer needle is
Ô of the way to the red area of the tachome‐
ter.
R
do not shift down a gear manually in order to
brake.
R
avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at
full throttle.
R
do not depress the accelerator pedal past
the pressure point (kickdown).
R
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 breaking-in
notes:
R
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 repairs. Full sys‐
tem effectiveness is not reached until the
end of this teach-in process.
R
Brakepads, 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.

and simultaneously pull one of steering
wheel gearshift paddles 1 or 2.
