Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz
Before you first drive off, read this Owner's Man‐
ual carefully and familiarise yourself with your
vehicle. For your own safety and a longer operat‐
ing lifespan, follow the instructions and warning
notices in this Owner's Manual. Disregarding
them may lead to damage to the vehicle or per‐
sonal injury.
The equipment or model designation of your
vehicle may vary according to:
R
model
R
order
R
national version
R
availability
The illustrations in this Owner's Manual show a
left-hand drive vehicle. On right-hand-drive vehi‐
cles, the layout of components and control ele‐
ments differs accordingly.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly developing its vehi‐
cles further.
Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right to
introduce changes in the following areas:
R
design
R
equipment
R
technical features
The equipment in your vehicle may therefore dif‐
fer from that shown in the descriptions and illus‐
trations.
The following are integral parts of the vehicle:
R
Digital Owner's Manual
R
Printed Owner's Manual
R
service booklet
R
equipment-dependent Supplements
Keep these documents in the vehicle at all
times. If you sell the vehicle, always pass all of
the documents on to the new owner.

Protection of the environment
Plug-in hybrid: observe the notes in the Supple‐
ment. Otherwise, you may fail to recognise dan‐
gers.
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
+
damage due to operating conditions and
personal driving style
The pollutant emission of your vehicle is
directly related to the way you operate your
vehicle.
Help to protect the environment by operating
your vehicle in an environmentally responsi‐
ble manner. Please observe the following rec‐
ommendations on operating conditions and
personal driving style.
Operating conditions:
#
Make sure that the tyre pressure is cor‐
rect.
#
Do not carry any unnecessary weight
(e.g. roof luggage racks once you no
longer need them).
#
Adhere to the service intervals.
A regularly serviced vehicle will contrib‐
ute to environmental protection.
#
Always have maintenance work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
#
Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
#
Do not warm up the engine while the
vehicle is stationary.
#
Drive carefully and maintain a suitable
distance from the vehicle in front.
#
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration
and braking.
#
Change gear in good time and use each
gear only up to Ô of its maximum
engine speed.
#
Switch off the engine in stationary traf‐
fic, e.g. by using the ECO start/stop
function.
#
Drive fuel-efficiently. Observe the ECO
display for a fuel-efficient driving style.
Take-back of end-of-life vehicles
EU countries only:
Mercedes-Benz will take back your end-of-life
vehicle for environment-friendly disposal in
accordance with the European Union (EU) Endof-Life Vehicles Directive.
A network of vehicle take-back points and dis‐
mantlers has been established for you to return
your vehicle. You can leave it at any of these
points free of charge. This makes an important
contribution to closing the recycling circle and
conserving resources.
For further information about the recycling and
disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the takeback conditions, please visit the national
Mercedes-Benz website for your country.

General notes
Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts
ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
+
damage caused by not using recycled
reconditioned components
Daimler AG offers recycled reconditioned
components and parts with the same quality
as new parts. The same entitlement from the
implied warranty is valid as for new parts.
#
Use recycled reconditioned compo‐
nents and parts from Daimler AG.
NOTE Impairment of the operating effi‐
*
ciency of the restraint systems from
installing accessory parts or from repairs
or welding
Airbags and seat belt tensioners, as well as
control units and sensors for the restraint
systems, may be installed in the following
areas of your vehicle:
R
doors
R
door pillars
R
door sills
R
seats
R
cockpit
R
instrument cluster
R
centre console
R
lateral roof frame
#
Do not install accessory parts such as
audio systems in these areas.
#
Do not carry out repairs or welding.
#
Have accessories retrofitted at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of your
vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well
as accessories relevant to safety which have not
been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-rele‐
vant systems, e.g. the brake system, may mal‐
function. Only use Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts
or parts of equal quality. Only use tyres, wheels
and accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conver‐
sion parts and accessories that have been spe‐
cifically approved for your vehicle model for their
reliability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing
market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to
assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been officially approved or independently
approved by a testing centre.
Certain parts are only officially approved for
installation or modification if they comply with
legal requirements. All Mercedes-Benz Genuine
Parts meet the approval requirements. The use
of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehi‐
cle's general operating permit.
This is the case in the following situations:
R
the vehicle type is different from that for
which the vehicle's general operating permit
was granted.
R
other road users could be endangered.
R
the exhaust gas or noise level gets worse.
General notes
21
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) (/ page 477) when ordering
Mercedes-Benz Genuine Parts.
Owner's Manual
This Owner's Manual describes all models and
all standard and optional equipment available for
your vehicle at the time of this Owner's Manual
going to press. Country-specific differences are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be fit‐
ted with all features described. 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 illus‐
trations.
The original purchase agreement for your vehicle
contains a list of all of the systems in your vehi‐
cle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are
important documents and should be kept in the
vehicle.
Operating safety
Plug-in hybrid: observe the notes in the Supple‐
ment. Otherwise, you may fail to recognise dan‐
gers.
&
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 jeopardise 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.
If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen‐
eral operating permit is rendered invalid.
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.
22
General notes
#
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.
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 kerb or an unpaved road
R
the vehicle is driven too fast over an
obstacle, e.g. a kerb, 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
tyres 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 panelling is damaged, flam‐
mable materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can collect between the underbody and
the underbody panelling. 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.
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.
General notes
23

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.
General notes
25
This jeopardises 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 fit 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.
#

#
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.

Information on the REACH regulation
EU and EFTA countries only:
The REACH Regulation (Regulation (EC) No.
1907/2006, Article 33) stipulates an informa‐
tion obligation for substances of very high con‐
cern (SVHC).
Daimler AG is acting to the best of its knowledge
to avoid the use and application of these SVHCs
and to enable the customer to handle theses
substances safely. According to supplier infor‐
mation and internal product information of
Daimler AG, SVHCs are known which are more
than 0.1 percent by weight in individual products
of this vehicle.

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 fitted in your vehicle.
Some of these are necessary for the safe opera‐
tion of your vehicle, while some assist you when
General notes
27
driving (driver assistance systems). In addition,
your vehicle provides comfort and entertainment
functions, which are also made possible by elec‐
tronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data memories
which can temporarily or permanently store
technical information about the vehicle's operat‐
ing state, component loads, maintenance
requirements and technical events or faults.
In general, this information documents the state
of a component part, a module, a system or the
surroundings such as:
R
operating status 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, longitudinal accel‐
eration, lateral acceleration, display of fas‐
tened seat belts)
R
malfunctions or faults in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R
information on events leading to vehicle
damage
R
system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of sta‐
bility control systems)
R
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 faults and optimising
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 fault 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 faults and improving quality and
are transmitted to the manufacturer, if neces‐
sary. Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject
to product liability. For this, the manufacturer
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:
R
multimedia data such as music, films or pho‐
tos for playback in an integrated multimedia
system
R
address book data for use in connection with
an integrated hands-free system or an inte‐
grated navigation system
R
entered navigation destinations
R
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
28
General notes
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.
You can store or change convenience settings/
individualisations in the vehicle at any time.
Depending on the equipment, this includes, for
example:
R
settings for the seat and steering wheel posi‐
tions
R
suspension and climate control settings
R
customisations such as interior lighting
If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You 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:
R
general vehicle data
R
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. Owner'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.
