Operating Instructions
Before the first journey
These Operating Instructions, the Maintenance
or Service Booklet and the additional equipment-specific instructions are integral parts of
the vehicle. Always keep these documents in
the vehicle. If you sell the vehicle, always pass
on all documents to the new owner.
Before you first drive off, read these documents
carefully and familiarise yourself with your vehicle.
For your own safety and a longer vehicle life,
follow the instructions and warning notices in
these Operating Instructions. Failure to observe
the instructions may lead to damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
Implied warranty
!
Follow the instructions in this manual about
the proper operation of your vehicle as well as
about possible vehicle damage. Damage to
your vehicle that arises from culpable contraventions against these instructions are not
covered either by Mercedes-Benz implied
warranty or by the New or Used-Vehicle Warranty.
Vehicle equipment
These Operating Instructions describe all models as well as standard and optional equipment
of your vehicle that was available at the time of
going to print. Country-specific variations are
possible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the described functions.
This also applies to safety-relevant systems and
functions. Therefore, your vehicle's equipment
may differ from certain descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documentation
for your vehicle contains a list of all of the systems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, consult any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

R
traffic rules and regulations
R
laws and safety standards pertaining to motor
vehicles
Various warning stickers are attached to the
vehicle. If you remove any warning stickers, you
or others could fail to recognise certain dangers.

G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their
software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other networked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly anymore and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
If you carry out modifications to electronic components, their software or wiring, this could
result in the invalidation of your vehicle's operating permit.
