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

traction, particularly in the following situations:

R

When pulling away on wet or slippery road‐
ways.

R

When braking.

R

Vehicles with trailer hitch: in trailer opera‐
tion from speeds of 40 mph (65 km/h), if the
vehicle/trailer combination begins to sway
from side to side.

R

In strong side winds when you are driving
faster than 47 mph (75 km/h).

WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP

®

SPORT is used incorrectly

When you activate ESP®SPORT, there is an
increased risk of skidding and having an acci‐
dent.

#

Activate ESP®SPORT only in the cir‐
cumstances described below.

Select ESP®SPORT when the vehicle's own
oversteering and understeering characteristics
are desired, e.g. on designated roads.

Driving with ESP®SPORT or with ESP®deactiva‐
ted requires an extremely qualified and experi‐
enced driver.

If ESP®SPORT is activated and one or more
wheels start to spin, the ÷ ESP®warning
lamp on the instrument cluster flashes. ESP

®

then only stabilizes the vehicle to a limited
degree.

ESP®SPORT also has the following characteris‐
tics:

R

ESP®only improves driving stability to a limi‐
ted degree.

R

ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.

R

The engine's torque is only restricted to a
limited degree and the drive wheels can spin.

The spinning of the wheels results in a cut‐
ting action for better traction on loose surfa‐
ces.

R

ESP®continues to provide assistance when
the brakes are firmly applied.

16

Driving and parking

R

Vehicles with trailer hitch: stabilization of
the vehicle/trailer combination is no longer
active.

R

Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

Characteristics when ESP®is deactivated

&

WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP®is
deactivated

assisted by ESP®when braking hard.

It may be best to activate ESP®SPORT or deacti‐
vate ESP®in the following situations:

R

When using snow chains.

R

In deep snow.

R

On sand or gravel.

%

Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action, which enhances traction.

%

Activate ESP®as soon as the situations
described above no longer apply. ESP®will
otherwise not be able to stabilize the vehicle
if the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel starts
to spin.

If the ÷ ESP®warning lamp lights up continu‐
ously even when ESP®is activated, ESP®is not
available due to a malfunction.

Observe any information which may be displayed
in the instrument cluster:

R

AMG TRACK PACE

General information

With AMG TRACK PACE, the driving characteris‐
tics on race tracks can be analyzed and opti‐
mized. You can drive previously stored race
tracks (e.g. Hockenheimring), or new tracks can
be recorded and stored. The driven lap times are
stored for every track. These can be analyzed
and compared to other lap times to achieve the
best possible race results. Additionally, accelera‐
tion and braking procedures can be measured
and stored.

Please note: Use AMG TRACK PACE only on
closed-off routes outside the public traffic area.
Adapt your driving style to your personal abilities
and the environmental conditions. As the driver,
you are solely responsible for driving your vehi‐
cle. Park your vehicle safely before operating the
application.

WARNING Risk of accident caused by
non-approved tire types

If you use tire types that have not been adap‐
ted to changes made to the factory speed
limit, this can have the following consequen‐
ces:

R

The tires do not exhibit the required qual‐
ity characteristics and are not suitable for
high speeds or the relevant driving
dynamics.

R

The tires wear unevenly and could, there‐
fore, affect the roadworthiness of the
vehicle.

R

ABS, ESP®and cruise control operation
are restricted.

This can jeopardize road safety.

#

Only use tire types that have been
approved for the maximum road speed
set and the vehicle.

Operating fluids

Fuel

Information on fuel grades for Mercedes­AMG vehicles

Observe the information on operating fluids in
the vehicle Operator's Manual.

*

NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system.

#

Only refuel with low-sulfur unleaded
fuel.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by
volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with
E10 fuel.

Never refuel with one of the following fuels:

R

Diesel

R

Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by
volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R

Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by
volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100

R

Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with the
wrong fuel:

#

Do not switch the ignition on.

#

Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐
fur, this can produce unpleasant odors.

Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso‐
line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON.

As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use unleaded
regular gasoline which has at least the octane
number specified in the information label in the
fuel filler flap (see the vehicle Operator's Man‐
ual).

Never refuel using gasoline with an even lower
RON.

*

NOTE Premature wear through unleaded
regular gasoline

Unleaded regular gasoline can cause the
engine to wear more quickly and impair lon‐
gevity and performance.

If unleaded premium grade gasoline is
unavailable and you have to refuel using
unleaded regular gasoline:

#

Only fill the fuel tank to half full with
unleaded regular gasoline and fill up as
soon as possible with unleaded pre‐
mium grade gasoline.

#

Do not drive at the maximum design
speed.

#

Avoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3000 rpm.
