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.
You can help to protect the environment by
operating your vehicle in an environmentallyresponsible manner. Please observe the fol‐
lowing recommendations on operating condi‐
tions 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 service 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 in a fuel-efficient manner.
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) End-OfLife 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 take-back
conditions, please visit the national
Mercedes-Benz website for your country.

General notes
If you use parts, tyres, wheels or safety-relevant
accessories which have not been approved by
Mercedes-Benz, the operating safety of the vehi‐
cle may be jeopardised. Safety-relevant systems,
e.g. the brake system, may malfunction. Use only
Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of equal
quality. Use only tyres, wheels and accessory
parts that are approved for your vehicle model.
Mercedes-Benz tests original parts, conversion
parts and accessory parts that have been
approved for your vehicle model for reliability,
safety and suitability. Despite ongoing market
research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to assess
other parts. Mercedes-Benz accepts no responsi‐
bility 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 vehicle's
general operating permit.
This is the case in the following situations:
R
the vehicle type changes from that stated in
the general operating permit.
R
other road users could be endangered.
R
the emissions or noise levels are adversely
affected.
Always specify the vehicle identification number
(VIN) when ordering Mercedes-Benz Genuine‐
Parts (→ page 334).
Information about attachments, add-on
equipment, installations and conversions
For safety reasons, have add-on equipment pro‐
duced and assembled in accordance with the
valid Mercedes-Benz add-on equipment guide‐
lines. These add-on equipment guidelines ensure
that the chassis and add-on equipment form one
unit and that the greatest possible level of opera‐
tional and driving safety is achieved.
Both vehicle manufacturers as well as body man‐
ufacturers must always ensure that the products
manufactured by them come into circulation only
in a safe state and do not pose any risks to peo‐
ple. Otherwise, there may be consequences
under civil, criminal or public law. All manufactur‐
ers are responsible for the products that they
have manufactured. The manufacturer of attach‐
ments, add-on equipment, inserts and conver‐
sions must guarantee compliance with Directive
2001/95/EC on general product safety.
For safety reasons, Mercedes‑Benz recommends
the following:
R
Do not make any other changes to the vehi‐
cle.
R
Obtain approval from Mercedes-Benz in the
event of deviations from the approved add-on
equipment guidelines.
Acceptance tests performed by public test bodies
or official approvals do not rule out safety risks.
Comply with the information about MercedesBenz GenuineParts (→ page 19).
You will find the Mercedes-Benz add-on equip‐
ment guidelines on the internet at https://bbportal.mercedes-benz.com/portal/kat_iv.html?
&L.
You will also find information about the PIN
assignment and changing the fuse there.
Further information can be obtained at a
%
qualified specialist workshop.
&
WARNING Risk of accident and injury in
the event of incorrect conversions or
changes to the vehicle
Conversions or changes to the vehicle can
impair the function of systems or compo‐
nents.
As a result, they may no longer function as
intended and/or endanger the operating
safety of the vehicle.
#
Always have conversions or changes to
the vehicle made at a qualified work‐
shop.
Even seemingly minor changes to the vehicle,
such as attaching a radiator grille in winter, are
not permitted. Do not cover the engine radiator.
Do not use any thermal mats, insect protection
covers etc.
Otherwise, the values of the vehicle's diagnosis
system will be distorted. In some countries, the
recording of engine diagnosis data is prescribed
by law and must be verifiable and correct at all
times.
The factory fits the vehicle with the wooden or
plastic load compartment floor; this is an integral
part of the vehicle structure. If you have the load
compartment floor removed, the vehicle body
may be damaged. The load retainer will then be
General notes
21
impaired and the maximum loading capacity of
the tie-down points will no longer be guaranteed.
Therefore, do not have the load compartment
floor removed.
Operating Instructions
This Owner's Manual describes all models and all
standard and special equipment available for your
vehicle at the time of going to press of the Own‐
er's Manual. Country-specific differences are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be fitted
with all functions described. This is also the case
for systems and functions relevant to safety.
Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may dif‐
fer from that in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase agreement documentation
for your vehicle contains a list of all the systems
in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning equip‐
ment and operation, please consult a MercedesBenz service centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are
important documents and should be stored 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 special‐
ist workshop.
&
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 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 make any changes to the on-board elec‐
tronics, the general operating permit is rendered
invalid.
&
WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable
materials on hot parts of the exhaust sys‐
tem
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.
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.

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.

Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is only intended for
the connection of diagnostic devices at a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
&
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 vehicle
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.
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.
#
Check the charge level of the battery.
#
If the charge level is low, charge the bat‐
tery, e.g. by driving a considerable dis‐
tance.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics connec‐
tion can lead to emissions monitoring information
being reset, for example. This may lead to the
vehicle failing to meet the requirements of the
next emissions inspection during the main
inspection.
Notes on changes to the engine output
Output increases can:
R
change emission values
R
lead to malfunctions
R
lead to consequential damage
The operating safety of the engine is not guaran‐
teed in all situations.
If the vehicle's engine output is increased:
R
tyres, suspension, brake system and engine
cooling system must be adapted to the
increase engine output.
R
vehicle must be recertified.
R
report changes in output to the accident
insurance body.
This will otherwise lead to the invalidation of the
vehicle's general operating permit and its insur‐
ance coverage.
If you sell the vehicle, inform the buyer of any
alterations to the vehicle's engine output. If you
do not inform the buyer, this may constitute a
punishable offence under national legislation.
Qualified specialist workshop
A qualified specialist workshop has the necessary
special skills, tools and qualifications to correctly
carry out any necessary work on your vehicle.
This particularly applies to safety-relevant works.
Always have the following work on the vehicle
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop:
R
safety-relevant works
R
service and maintenance work
R
repair work
R
modifications, installations and conversions
R
work on electronic component parts

General notes
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz service centre for this purpose.
Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its service centres to
carry out technical inspections on certain vehi‐
cles. The quality or safety of the vehicle is
improved as a result of the inspection.
Mercedes-Benz can only inform you about vehicle
checks if it has your registration data.
In the following cases your vehicle may not be
registered to you yet:
R
if your vehicle was not purchased at an
authorised specialist dealer.
R
if your vehicle has not been inspected at a
Mercedes-Benz service centre.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a
Mercedes-Benz service centre.
Inform Mercedes-Benz as soon as possible about
any change in address or vehicle ownership. You
can do this, for example, at a Mercedes-Benz
service centre.
Correct use of the vehicle
If you remove warning stickers, others may fail to
recognise the dangers. Leave warning stickers in
position.
Observe the following information when driving
your vehicle:
R
safety notes in these Owner's Manual
R
technical data for the vehicle
R
traffic regulations
R
laws pertaining to motor vehicles and safety
standards
Implied warranty
NOTE Damage to the vehicle arising from
*
violation of these operating instructions.
Damage to the vehicle can arise from viola‐
tion of these operating instructions.
This damage is not covered either by the
Mercedes-Benz implied warranty or by the
New‑ or Used-Vehicle Warranty.
#
Follow the instructions in these operat‐
ing instructions on proper operation of
your vehicle as well as on possible vehi‐
cle damage.
QR codes for rescue card
The QR code stickers are affixed to the B-pillar on
the driver's and co-driver's side. In the event of
an accident, emergency services can use the QR
code to quickly determine the corresponding res‐
cue card for your vehicle. The current rescue card
contains, in compact form, the most important
information about your vehicle e.g. the routing of
electric cables.
Further information can be found at http://
www.mercedes-benz.de/qr-code.
Data storage
Electronic control units
Your vehicle is equipped with electronic control
units. Some of them are necessary for your vehi‐
cle to function safely, some provide support when
driving (driver assistance systems). In addition,
your vehicle offers comfort or entertainment
functions which are also made possible with elec‐
tronic control units.
Electronic control units contain data memories
which can permanently or temporarily store tech‐
nical information on vehicle's operating state,
component stress, service requirements as well
as technical events and faults.
This information generally documents the state of
a component part, a module, a system or of the
environment such as:
R
operating statuses of system components
(e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tyre pressure)
R
status messages concerning the vehicle or its
individual components (e.g. wheel rpm/
speed, deceleration, lateral acceleration, indi‐
cation of whether seat belts are fastened)
R
malfunctions or defects in important system
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R
information on events in which the vehicle is
damaged
R
system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, intervention of sta‐
bility control systems)
In addition to the provision of control unit func‐
tions, this data serves to recognise and rectify
faults as well as to optimise vehicle functions by
the manufacturer. Most of this data is volatile and
is only processed in the vehicle itself. Only a
small proportion of the data is stored in event or
fault memories.
When you use services, the technical data from
the vehicle can be read out by service network
employees (e.g. workshops, manufacturers) or
third parties (e.g. breakdown services). Services
include repair services, maintenance processes,
warranty events and quality assurance measures,
for example. The data are read out via the con‐
nection for the diagnostics connection in the
vehicle, which is required by law. The respective
workshop of ServiceNetwork or third parties col‐
lect, process and use the data. The data docu‐
ments technical states of the vehicle, helps in
finding errors and in improving quality and are
transferred to the manufacturer if necessary. In
addition, the manufacturer is subject to product
liability. For this purpose, the manufacturer
requires technical data from vehicles.
Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a
service outlet during repairs or maintenance
work.
Depending on the equipment selected, you can
enter data in comfort and infotainment functions
of the vehicle.
These include, 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 an integrated
hands-free system or an integrated navigation
system
R
navigation destinations entered
R
data on the use of Internet services
This data can be saved locally in the vehicle or
located on a device that you have connected to
the vehicle (e.g. smartphone, USB memory stick
or MP3 player). If this data is saved in the vehicle,
you can delete it at any time. Transfer of this data
to third parties only occurs on your request,
especially as part of online services according to
the settings you selected.
You can save convenience settings/individualisa‐
tion in the vehicle and change them at any time.
Depending on the piece of equipment in ques‐
tion, these can include:
R
settings of the seat and steering wheel posi‐
tions
R
suspension and climate control settings
R
customisations such as interior lighting
If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you can
connect your smartphone or another mobile end
device to the vehicle. You can operate these devi‐
ces via the control elements integrated in the
vehicle. The smartphone's picture and sound can
be output via the multimedia system. Simultane‐
ously, specific items of information are transfer‐
red to your smartphone.
Depending on the type of integration, this can
include:
R
general vehicle data
R
position data
This enables the use of selected smartphone
apps, e.g. navigation or music playback. There is
no additional interaction between the smart‐
phone and the vehicle, particularly active access
to vehicle data. Which type of further data pro‐
cessing occurs is determined by the provider of
the specific app used. Which settings you can
make, if any, depends on the specific app and the
operating system of your smartphone.
Online services
Wireless network connection
If your vehicle has a wireless network connection,
data can be exchanged between your vehicle and
other systems. The wireless network connection
is enabled via the vehicle's transmission and
reception unit or via connected mobile end devi‐
ces (e.g. smartphones). Online functions can be
used via this wireless network connection. These
include online services and applications/apps,
which are provided by the manufacturer or by
other providers.
Manufacturer's own services
In the case of the manufacturer's online services,
the manufacturer describes the functions in a
suitable place (e.g. operating instructions, manu‐
facturer's website) and provides the associated
information subject to data protection legislation.
Personal identification data may be used to pro‐
vide online services. The data exchange for this
takes place via a secure connection, e.g. with the
manufacturer's IT systems intended for the pur‐
26
General notes
pose. The collecting, processing, and use of per‐
sonal identification data beyond the provision of
services occurs exclusively on the basis of a legal
permit or after due consent.
Generally, you can activate or deactivate the
services and functions (partly subject to a fee). In
some cases, this also applies to the whole data
connection of the vehicle. Excluded from this are
special legally prescribed functions and services.
Services of third parties
If it is possible to use online services from other
providers, these services are subject to the data
protection and terms of use of the responsible
provider. The manufacturer has no influence on
the contents exchanged whilst using these serv‐
ices.
Please ask the respective service provider for
details on the type, extent and purpose of the
collection and use of personal data in the context
of third party services.

Restraint system
Protection by the restraint system
The restraint system includes the following com‐
ponents:
R
Seat belt system
R
Airbags
R
Child restraint system
R
Child seat securing system
The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi‐
cle occupants coming into contact with parts of
the vehicle interior in the event of an accident. In
the event of an accident, the restraint system can
also reduce the forces to which the vehicle occu‐
pants are subjected.
A seat belt can only provide the best level of pro‐
tection if it is worn correctly. Depending on the
detected accident situation, seat belt tensioners
and/or airbags supplement the protection
offered by a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt
tensioners and/or airbags are not deployed in
every accident.
Vehicles with a front passenger bench seat: the
seat belt tensioner on the front passenger seat is
triggered whether or not the seat belt tongue is
engaged in the seat belt buckle.
If the vehicle does not have a driver's airbag, the
seat belt system does not include a seat belt ten‐
sioner or a seat belt force limiter.
In order for the restraint system to provide the
intended level of protection, each vehicle occu‐
pant must observe the following information:
R
Fasten seat belts correctly.
R
Sit in an almost upright seat position with
their back against the seat backrest.
R
Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possi‐
ble.
R
Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in
an additional restraint system suitable for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can com‐
pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and
airbag generally do not protect against objects
penetrating the vehicle from the outside. It is also
not possible to completely rule out the risk of
injury caused by the airbag deploying.
Reduced restraint system protection
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death from
modifications to the restraint system
The restraint system can no longer function
correctly after alterations have been made.
The restraint system may then not protect the
vehicle occupants as intended by failing in an
accident or triggering unexpectedly, for exam‐
ple
#
Never alter the parts of the restraint
system.
#
Never tamper with the wiring or any
electronic component parts or their
software.
If it is necessary to modify the vehicle to accom‐
modate a person with disabilities, contact a quali‐
fied specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use driving
aids which have been approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz.
Restraint system functionality
When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is
performed, during which the 6 restraint sys‐
tem warning lamp lights up. It goes out no later
than a few seconds after the vehicle is started.
The components of the restraint system are then
functional.
Restraint system malfunction
A malfunction has occurred in the restraint sys‐
tem in the following cases:
R
The 6 restraint system warning lamp does
not light up when the ignition is switched on.
R
The 6 restraint system warning lamp
lights up continuously or repeatedly during a
journey.
&
WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury
due to a malfunction in the restraint sys‐
tem
If the restraint system is malfunctioning,
restraint system components may be trig‐
gered unintentionally or might not be trig‐
gered at all in the event of an accident. This
may affect the seat belt tensioner or airbag,
for example.
28
Occupant safety
#
Have the restraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
Function of the restraint system in an acci‐
dent
How the restraint system works is determined by
the severity of the impact detected and the type
of accident anticipated:
R
frontal impact
R
rear impact
R
side impact
The activation thresholds for the components of
the restraint system are determined based on the
evaluation of the sensor values measured at vari‐
ous points in the vehicle. This process is preemptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of
the components of the restraint system should
take place in good time at the start of the colli‐
sion.
Factors which can only be seen and measured
after a collision has occurred cannot play a deci‐
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro‐
vide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐
out an airbag being deployed. This is the case if
only parts which are relatively easily deformed
are affected and the rate of vehicle deceleration
is not high. Conversely, an airbag may be
deployed even though the vehicle suffers only
minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts such
as longitudinal members are hit, for example, the
vehicle deceleration may be high enough for this
to happen.
The components of the restraint system can
be activated or deployed independently of
each other:

ment situation

impact, side impact
Driver's airbag, front
Frontal impact

&
WARNING Rick of burns from hot airbag
components
The airbag parts are hot after an airbag has
been deployed.
#
Do not touch the airbag parts.
#
Have a deployed airbag replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop as soon as
possible.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop
after an accident. Take this into account, particu‐
larly if a seat belt tensioner was triggered or an
airbag was deployed.
If the seat belt tensioners are triggered or an air‐
bag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small
amount of powder may also be released:
R
The bang will not generally affect your hear‐
ing.
R
In general, the powder released is not hazard‐
ous to health but may cause short-term
breathing difficulties to persons suffering
from asthma or other pulmonary conditions.
Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle
immediately or open the window in order to
prevent breathing difficulties.
Seat belts
Protection provided by the seat belt
Always fasten your seat belt correctly before
starting a journey. A seat belt can only provide
the best level of protection if it is worn correctly.
&
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to
incorrectly fastened seat belt
If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot
perform its intended protective function.
In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt
can also cause injuries, for example, in the
event of an accident or when braking or
changing direction suddenly.
#
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants
have their seat belts fastened correctly
and are sitting properly.
