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 states of system components (e.g. fluid levels, battery status, tyre pressure) R status messages concerning the vehicle or its individual components (e.g. number of wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in movement, lateral acceleration, display of fastened seat belts) R malfunctions or defects 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 vehicle convenience 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 Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 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 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 General notes 27 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.

http://www.mercedes-benz.com/opensource Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 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 occupants 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. 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 pos sible. 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. Occupant safety 29 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 example
# 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 qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use driv ing aids which have been approved for your vehi cle by Mercedes-Benz. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 30 Occupant safety 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. Malfunctioning restraint system A malfunction has occurred in the restraint sys tem if:
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.
# 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 R Rollover The activation thresholds for the components of the restraint system are determined based on the evaluation of the sensor values measured at various points in the vehicle. This process is pre-
emptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the components of the restraint system must 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 exam ple, this may result in sufficiently high levels of vehicle deceleration. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only The components of the restraint system can be activated or deployed independently of each other:

If the front passenger seat is occupied, make sure, both before and during the journey, that the status of the front passenger front airbag is correct
( page 40).
& 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, partic ularly if a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an airbag deployed. Occupant safety 31 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 haz ardous 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. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 32 Occupant safety
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrectly fastened seat belt If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can not 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 occu pants have their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting properly. Always observe the instructions about the cor rect driver's seat position and adjusting the seat
( page 99). In order for the correctly worn seat belt to pro vide the intended level of protection, each vehi cle occupant must observe the following infor mation:
R The seat belt must not be twisted and must fit tightly and snugly across the body. R The seat belt must be routed across the centre of the shoulder and as low down across the hips as possible. R The shoulder section of the seat belt should not touch your neck nor be routed under your arm or behind your back. R Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat. R Push the lap belt down as far as possible across your hips and pull tight with the shoul der section of the belt. Never route the lap belt across your abdomen. R Never route the seat belt across sharp, poin ted, abrasive or fragile objects. R Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time. Never allow babies and chil dren to travel sitting on the lap of another vehicle occupant. R Never secure objects with a seat belt if the seat belt is also being used by one of the vehicle's occupants. Always observe the instructions for loading the vehicle when securing objects, luggage or loads
( page 114). Also ensure that no objects, e.g. a cushion, are ever placed between a person and the seat. If children are travelling in the vehicle, be sure to observe the instructions and safety notes on
"Children in the vehicle" ( page 46). Reduced seat belt protection
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrect seat position The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the seat backrest to an almost vertical position. When braking or in the event of an accident, you could slide underneath the seat belt and sustain abdominal or neck injuries, for exam ple.
# Adjust the seat properly before begin ning your journey.
# Always ensure that the seat backrest is in an almost vertical position and that the shoulder section of your seat belt is Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only routed across the centre of your shoul der.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death when additional restraint systems are not used for persons with a smaller build Persons under 1.50 m tall cannot wear the seat belt correctly without a suitable addi tional restraint system. If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it can not 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 secure persons under 1.50 m tall in a suitable restraint system.
& WARNING Danger of injury or death due to blocked seat belt anchorages The restraint effect of the seat belt is impaired if objects between the front seat and the door are blocking the movable seat belt anchorage on the front seat. The seat belt may not then provide the proper protection.
# Before starting a journey, make sure that there are no objects between the front seat and the door.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death due to damaged or modified seat belts Seat belts cannot provide protection in the following situations:
R If the seat belts are damaged, modified, extremely dirty, bleached or dyed R If the seat belt buckle is damaged or extremely dirty R If the seat belt tensioners, seat belt anchorages or seat belt retractors have been modified Seat belts may be damaged in an accident, although the damage may not be visible, e.g. due to splinters of glass. Occupant safety 33 Modified or damaged seat belts may tear or fail, e.g. in an accident. Modified seat belt tensioners could acciden tally trigger or fail to function as intended.
# Never modify the seat belts, seat belt tensioners, seat belt anchorages or seat belt retractors.
# Make sure that the seat belts are undamaged, not worn and clean.
# Always have the seat belts checked immediately after an accident at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use seat belts which have been approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.

# If the seat belt pre-tensioning is not reduced, move the seat backrest back slightly. The locking mechanism releases. Function of PRE-SAFE PLUS (anticipatory occupant protection plus) PRE-SAFE PLUS can detect certain impacts, particularly an imminent rear impact, and take pre-emptive measures to protect the vehicle occupants. These measures cannot necessarily prevent an imminent impact. PRE-SAFE PLUS can implement the following measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat and front passenger seat. R Activating the rear hazard warning lights at a higher flashing frequency. R Increasing brake pressure when the vehicle is stationary. This brake application is cancel led automatically when the vehicle pulls away. If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive measures that were taken are reversed. System limitations The system will not initiate any action in the fol lowing situations:
R when reversing or R when the vehicle is towing a trailer and there is a risk of a rear impact The system will not initiate any braking applica tion in the following situations:
R whilst driving or R when entering or exiting a parking space while using Active Parking Assist Information on PRE-SAFE Impulse Side If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE-
SAFE Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the front-seat vehicle occupant's upper body towards the centre of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly inflating an air cushion in the outer seat side bolster of the seat backrest on the side on which the impact is anticipated. This increases the distance between the door and the vehicle occupant. If PRE-SAFE Impulse Side has been deployed or is faulty, the PRE-SAFE impulse side inoperative See Owner's Manual display message appears
( page 443). Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Safely transporting children in the vehicle Closely observe the following when travel ling with children in the vehicle
% Also strictly observe the safety notes for the specific situation. In this way you can recog nise potential risks and avoid dangers if chil dren are travelling in the vehicle
( page 46). Be diligent Bear in mind that neglecting to secure a child in the child restraint system may have serious con sequences. Always be diligent in securing a child carefully before every journey. To improve protection for children younger than 12 years old or under 1.50 m in height, Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the following information:
R Always secure the child in a child restraint system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehi cle. R The child restraint system must be appropri ate to the age, weight and size of the child. R The vehicle seat must be suitable for fitting a child restraint system ( page 52). Accident statistics show that children secured in the rear seats are safer than children secured in the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install a child restraint system on a rear seat. Generic term "child restraint system"
The generic term "child restraint system" will be used in this Owner's Manual. A child restraint system is, for example:
R a baby car seat R a rearward-facing child seat R a forward-facing child seat R a child booster seat with a backrest and seat belt guide Mercedes-Benz recommends using a child booster seat with a backrest. The child restraint system must be appropriate to the age, weight and size of the child. Occupant safety 45 Observing laws and legal requirements Always observe the legal requirements when using a child restraint system in the vehicle. Make sure that the child restraint system is approved in accordance with the valid test speci fications and guidelines. Further information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose. Only use approved child restraint systems Only child restraint systems with the following UNECE standards are permitted for use in the vehicle:
R UN R44 R UN R129 (i-Size child restraint systems) Information on child restraint system approval categories and details on the approval label on the child restraint system ( page 53). Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 46 Occupant safety Detecting risks, avoiding danger Securing systems for child restraint systems in the vehicle Only use the following securing systems for child restraint systems:
R the ISOFIX or i-Size mounting brackets R the vehicle's seat belt system R the Top Tether anchorages Installing an ISOFIX or an i-Size child restraint system is preferred. Simply attaching to the securing rings on the vehicle can reduce the risk of fitting the child restraint system incorrectly. When securing a child with the integrated seat belt of the ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint sys tem, always comply with the permissible gross weight for the child and child restraint system
( page 58). Advantage of a rearward-facing child restraint system It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint system. In this case, the child sits in the oppo site direction to the direction of travel and faces backwards. Babies and small children have comparatively weak neck muscles in relation to the size and weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a rearward-facing child restraint system. Always secure a child restraint system cor rectly
& WARNING Risk of injury or death caused by incorrect installation of the child restraint system If the child restraint system is incorrectly installed on a suitable seating position, it cannot perform its intended protective func tion. The child cannot be restrained in the event of an accident, heavy braking or a sudden change of direction.
# Always comply with the manufacturer's installation instructions for the child restraint system and its correct use.
# Make sure that the entire base of the child restraint system always rests on the sitting surface of the seat.
# Never place objects under or behind the child restraint system, e.g. cush ions.
# Always use child restraint systems with the original cover designed for them.
# Always replace damaged covers with genuine covers.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death from unsecured child restraint systems in the vehicle If the child restraint system is not correctly installed or secured, it could release in the event of an accident, sudden braking or a sudden change in direction. The child restraint system could be flung around and hit vehicle occupants. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Occupant safety 47 R Observe the warning labels in the vehicle interior and on the child restraint system. Only use child restraint systems which are in proper working condition R Also secure Top Tether if present. Do not alter the child restraint system
& WARNING Risk of injury due to altera tions to the child restraint system The child restraint system may no longer function as it is supposed to if you make alterations or attach objects to it, e.g. toys or unsuitable accessories. This poses an increased risk of injury!
Never alter the child restraint system. Only attach accessories which the manufacturer of the child restraint system has authorised especially for this child restraint system. MercedesBenz recommends Mercedes-Benz care products for cleaning child restraint sys tems recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
& WARNING Risk of injury or death caused by the use of damaged child restraint systems Child restraint systems or their retaining sys tems that have been subjected to a load in an accident may then not be able to perform their intended protective function. The child cannot be restrained in the event of an accident, heavy braking or a sudden change of direction.
# Always replace child restraint systems immediately that have been damaged or involved in an accident.
# Have the securing systems for the child restraint systems checked at a qualified specialist workshop before installing a child restraint system again.
# Always fit child restraint systems cor rectly, even when not in use.
# Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions. R Always observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installation and operating instructions as well as the vehicle-specific information:

R drive at varying road speeds and engine speeds. R drive the vehicle in drive program A or ;. R change gear before the rev counter needle is of the way to the red area of the rev coun 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 1,500 km. This also applies when the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced. Please also observe the following running-in notes:
R in certain driving and driving safety systems, the sensor system adjusts automatically while a certain distance is driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full system effectiveness is not achieved until the end of this teach-in process. R brakepads, brake discs and tyres that are either new or have been replaced only ach ieve optimum braking effect and grip after several hundred kilometres of driving. Com pensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal. Notes on driving

Driving and driving safety systems Driving systems and your responsibility Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu vring the vehicle. The driving systems are tools and do not relieve you of your responsibility. Pay attention to the traffic conditions at all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the limitations regarding the safe use of these sys tems. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Function of the radar sensors Some driving and driving safety systems use radar sensors to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle (depending on the vehicle's equipment). Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the radar sensors are integrated behind the bumpers and/or behind the radiator grille. Keep these parts free of dirt, ice and slush. ( page 376) The sensors must not be covered, for example by bicycle racks, overhanging loads or radar-
reflecting stickers. Following an impact and in the event of associated damage, which may not be visible, to the bumpers or radiator grille, have the function of the radar sensors checked at a qualified specialist workshop. The driver assis tance system may no longer work properly. Overview of driving systems and driving safety systems In this section, you will find information about the following driving systems and driving safety systems:

( page 247) ( page 247) Function of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) ABS regulates the brake pressure in critical driv ing situations:
R During braking, e.g. at full brake application or insufficient tyre traction, the wheels are prevented from locking. R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 198 Driving and parking If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions and can serve as a reminder to take extra care while driving. System limitations R ABS is active from speeds of approx. 8 km/h. R ABS may be impaired or may not function if a malfunction has occurred and the yel low ! ABS warning lamp lights up contin uously in the instrument cluster after the engine is started. Function of BAS (Brake Assist System)
& WARNING Risk of an accident caused by a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist Sys tem) If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance in an emergency braking situation is increased.
# Depress the brake pedal with full force in emergency braking situations. ABS prevents the wheels from locking. BAS supports your emergency braking situation with additional brake force. If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is activated:
R BAS automatically boosts the brake pres sure. R BAS can shorten the braking distance. R ABS prevents the wheels from locking. The brakes will function as usual once you release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated. Function of ESP (Electronic Stability Pro gram)
& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP is malfunctioning If ESP is malfunctioning, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilisation. In addition, other driving safety systems are switched off.
# Drive on carefully.
# Have ESP checked at a qualified spe cialist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP is deactivated If you deactivate ESP, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilisation.
# ESP should only be deactivated in the following situations. MercedesAMG vehicles: always observe the notes in the Supplement. Otherwise, you may fail to recognise dangers. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Driving and parking 199 ESP can monitor and improve driving stability and traction in the following situations, within physical limits:
R When pulling away on wet or slippery carria geways. R When braking. R Vehicles with trailer hitch: in trailer opera tion from speeds of 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 80 km/h. If the vehicle deviates from the direction desired by the driver, ESP can stabilise the vehicle by intervening in the following ways:
R One or more wheels are braked. R The engine output is adapted according to the situation. ESP is deactivated if the ESP OFF warn ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument cluster:
R Driving stability will no longer be improved. R Vehicles with trailer hitch: stabilisation of the vehicle/trailer combination is no longer active. R Crosswind Assist is no longer active. R The drive wheels could spin. R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
% When ESP is deactivated, you are still assis ted by ESP when braking. ESP is intervening if the ESP warning lamp flashes in the instrument cluster:
R Do not deactivate ESP. R Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as is necessary. R Adapt your driving style to suit the current road and weather conditions. Deactivate ESP in the following situations to improve traction:
R When using snow chains. R In deep snow. R On sand or gravel.
% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting action which provides better grip. If the ESP warning lamp lights up continu ously, ESP is not available due to a malfunction. Observe the following information:
R Warning and indicator lamps ( page 501) R Display messages ( page 442) ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System) ETS/4ETS traction control is part of ESP and makes it possible to pull away and accelerate on a slippery carriageway. ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by intervening in the following ways:
R The drive wheels are braked individually if they spin. R More drive torque is transferred to the wheel or wheels with traction. Influence of drive programs on ESP The drive programs enable ESP to adapt to dif ferent weather and road conditions as well as the driver's preferred driving style.

# Activate O or deactivate the function. ESP is deactivated if the ESP OFF warn ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument cluster. Observe the information on warning lamps and display messages which may be shown in the instrument cluster. Function of ESP Crosswind Assist ESP Crosswind Assist detects sudden gusts of side wind and helps the driver to keep the vehi cle in the lane:
R ESP Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speeds between 80 km/h and 200 km/h when driving straight ahead or cornering slightly. R The vehicle is stabilised by means of individ ual brake application on one side. Function of ESP trailer stabilisation
& WARNING Risk of accident in poor road and weather conditions In poor road and weather conditions, the trailer stabilisation cannot prevent lurching of the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a high centre of gravity may tip over before ESP detects this.
# Always adapt your driving style to suit the current road and weather condi tions. When driving with a trailer, ESP can stabilise your vehicle if the trailer begins to swerve from side to side:
R ESP trailer stabilisation is active above speeds of 65 km/h. R Slight swerving is reduced by means of a tar geted, individual brake application on one side. R In the event of severe swerving, the engine output is also reduced and all wheels are braked. ESP trailer stabilisation may be impaired or may not function if:
R The trailer is not connected correctly or is not detected properly by the vehicle. Function of EBD (Electronic Brake force Dis tribution) EBD is characterised by the following:
R Monitoring and regulating the brake pressure on the rear wheels. R Improved driving stability when braking, especially on bends. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Function of STEER CONTROL STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in the direction required for vehicle stabilisation. This steering recommendation is given particu larly in the following situations:
R both right wheels or both left wheels are on a wet or slippery road surface when you brake R the vehicle starts to skid System limitations STEER CONTROL may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:
R ESP is deactivated R ESP is malfunctioning R The steering is malfunctioning If ESP is malfunctioning, you will be assisted further by the electric power steering. Driving and parking 203 Function of Active Brake Assist Active Brake Assist consists of the following sub functions:
R Distance warning function R Autonomous braking function R Situation-dependent braking assistance R Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack age: Evasive Steering Assist Active Brake Assist can help you to minimise the risk of a collision with vehicles or pedestrians or to reduce the effects of such a collision. If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of colli sion, a warning tone sounds and the dis tance warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster. If you do not react to the warning, autonomous braking can be initiated in critical situations. In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist can initiate autonomous braking directly. In this case, the warning lamp and warning tone occur simultaneously with the braking applica tion. If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situa tion or apply the brake during autonomous brak ing, situation-dependent braking assistance occurs. The brake pressure increases up to max imum full-stop braking if necessary. If the autonomous braking function or the situa tion-dependent braking assistance is triggered, additional preventive measures for occupant protection (PRE-SAFE) may also be initiated, if the vehicle is equipped with these.
& WARNING Risk of an accident caused by limited detection performance of Active Brake Assist Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly identify objects and complex traffic situa tions. In such cases, Active Brake Assist might:
R Give a warning or brake without reason R Not give a warning or not brake
# Always pay careful attention to the traf fic situation; do not rely on Active Brake Assist alone. Active Brake Assist is only Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 204 Driving and parking an aid. The driver is responsible for maintaining a suitable distance to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed and for braking in good time.
# Be prepared to brake or swerve if nec essary. Also observe the system limitations of Active Brake Assist. The individual subfunctions are available in the following speed ranges:
Distance warning function The distance warning function issues a warning at speeds:
R From approximately 30 km/h, if over several seconds the distance maintained to the vehi cle travelling in front is insufficient for the driving speed. The distance warning lamp then lights up in the instrument cluster. R From approximately 7 km/h, if your vehicle is critically close to a vehicle or pedestrian. An intermittent warning tone sounds and the distance warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster. Brake immediately or take evasive action, provi ded it is safe to do so and the traffic situation allows this. The distance warning function can aid you in the following situations with an intermittent warning tone and a warning lamp:
Vehicles travelling in front Stationary vehicles Crossing vehicles Moving pedestrians Stationary pedes trians Vehicles without Driv ing Assistance pack age up to approx. 250 km/h Vehicles with Driving Assistance package up to approx. 250 km/h up to approx. 80 km/h no reaction up to approx. 80 km/h no reaction up to approx. 100 km/h up to approx. 70 km/h up to approx. 80 km/h up to approx. 70 km/h Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Driving and parking 205 Autonomous braking function The autonomous braking function may intervene at speeds starting from approximately 7 km/h in the following situations:

R Fully depressing the accelerator pedal or with kickdown. R Vehicles without Driving Assistance pack age: releasing the brake pedal. Active Brake Assist may cancel the brake appli cation when one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
R You manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle. R There is no longer a risk of collision. R An obstacle is no longer detected in front of your vehicle. Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with Driving Assistance Package) Evasive Steering Assist has the following charac teristics:
R It can detect stationary or crossing pedes trians. R It can assist the driver with additional steer ing assistance if it detects a swerving manoeuvre. R It can be activated by an abrupt steering movement during a swerving manoeuvre. R It can assist during swerving and straighten ing of the vehicle. R It can react from a speed of approximately 20 km/h up to a speed of approximately 70 km/h. You can prevent the assistance at any time by actively steering.
& WARNING Risk of an accident despite Evasive Steering Assist Evasive Steering Assist cannot always clearly identify objects and complex traffic situa tions. In addition, the steering support of Evasive Steering Assist is generally not sufficient to avoid a collision. In such cases Evasive Steering Assist can:
R give an unnecessary warning or provide assistance R not give a warning or not provide assis tance
# Always pay careful attention to the traf fic situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering Assist alone.
# Be ready to brake and take evasive action, if necessary.
# Prevent the assistance by actively steer ing in non-critical driving situations.
# Drive at an appropriate speed if pedes trians are close to the path of your vehi cle. Also observe the system limitations of Evasive Steering Assist. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only System limitations The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:
R In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light conditions. R If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged or covered. R If the sensors malfunction due to other radar source interference, for example strong radar reflections in multi-storey car parks. R If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre has been detected and displayed. R Full system performance is not available for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after driving off. The system may not react correctly:
R In complex traffic situations where objects cannot always be clearly identified. R To pedestrians or vehicles if they move quickly into the sensor detection range. R To pedestrians who are hidden by other objects. R If the typical outline of a pedestrian cannot be distinguished from the background. R If a pedestrian is not recognised as such, e.g. due to special clothing or other objects. R On bends with a tight radius. Setting Active Brake Assist Multimedia system:

Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack age: Evasive Steering Assist is not available. When the ignition is next started, the middle setting is selected automatically and Evasive Steering Assist is available.
% If Active Brake Assist is deactivated, the symbol appears in the status bar of the multifunction display. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 208 Driving and parking Function of Adaptive Brake Lights Adaptive Brake Lights warn following traffic in an emergency braking situation with the following actions:
R By flashing brake lamps R By activating the hazard warning lights If the vehicle is braked sharply from speeds above 50 km/h, the brake lamps flash rapidly. This provides traffic travelling behind you with an even more noticeable warning. If the vehicle is travelling at speeds of more than 70 km/h at the beginning of the brake applica tion, the hazard warning lights switch on once the vehicle is stationary. When pulling away again, the hazard warning lights switch off auto matically at approximately 10 km/h. You can also switch off the hazard warning lights using the hazard warning button. Cruise control and limiter Function of cruise control Cruise control accelerates and brakes the vehi cle automatically in order to maintain a previ ously stored speed. If you accelerate to overtake, for example, the stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking, cruise control will resume speed regulation back to the stored speed. Cruise control is operated using the correspond ing steering wheel buttons. You can store any road speed above 20 km/h up to the maximum road speed or to the set winter tyre limit. If you fail to adapt your driving style, cruise con trol can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi cle speed, for braking in good time and for stay ing in lane. Displays in the multifunction display The status of cruise control and the stored speed are shown in the multifunction display. 1 Cruise control is selected 2 Speed is saved, cruise control is deactivated 3 Speed is saved, cruise control is activated
% The segments extending from the current stored speed to the end of the scale, or to the set winter tyre limit, light up in the speedometer. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only System limitations Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out. Change into a lower gear in good time on long and steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you will make use of the braking effect of the engine. This relieves the load on the brake system and prevents the brakes from overheat ing and wearing too quickly. Do not use cruise control in the following situa tions:
R In traffic situations which require frequent changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on winding roads. R On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid. R If you are driving when visibility is poor. Function of the limiter The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To reduce the speed swiftly to the set speed, the limiter applies the brakes automatically. You can limit the speed as follows:
R Variable: for speed limits, e.g. in built-up areas. R Permanent: for long-term speed restrictions, e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode. The variable limiter is operated using the corre sponding steering wheel buttons. You can store any road speed above 20 km/h up to the maxi mum road speed or to the set winter tyre limit. You can also perform settings while the vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been started. If you fail to adapt your driving style, the limiter can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. The limiter is only an aid. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. Displays in the Instrument Display The status of the limiter and the stored speed are shown in the multifunction display. Driving and parking 209 1 Limiter is selected 2 Speed is stored, limiter is deactivated 3 Speed is stored, limiter is activated
% The segments in the speedometer light up, up to the currently stored speed.
% When the driving speed is greater than the stored speed, display 3 flashes. Kickdown If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown), the limiter switches to passive mode. The Limiter passive message appears in the multifunction display. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 210 Driving and parking After completion of kickdown, the variable lim iter is activated again in the following situations:
R If the driven speed drops below the stored speed. R If the stored speed is called up. R If you store a new speed. Operating cruise control or the variable lim iter

Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 212 Driving and parking Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles ahead are detected, the set distance is main tained, if necessary, until the vehicle comes to a halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depend ing on the distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in front are set and saved on the steering wheel on vehicles without the Driving Assistance Package, in the range between 20 km/h and 200 km/h and, on vehicles with the Driving Assistance Package, in the range between 20 km/h and 210 km/h. Other features of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC:
R Adjusts the driving style depending on the selected drive program (fuel-saving, comfort able or dynamic) ( page 177). R Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack age: reacts to stationary vehicles (except bicycles and motorcycles) in urban speed ranges if conditions are sufficient to enable detection. It also does not detect pedes trians. R Initiates rapid acceleration to the stored speed, if the turn signal indicator is switched on to change to the overtaking lane. R Vehicles with Driving Assistance Pack age: takes one-sided overtaking restrictions into account on motorways or on multi-lane roads with separate carriageways. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is only an aid. The driver is responsible for keeping a safe dis tance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good time. System limitations The system may be impaired or may not function in the following instances, for example:
R In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light conditions. R The windscreen in the area of the camera is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered. R If the radar sensors are dirty or covered. R On slippery roads, braking or accelerating can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid. R In multi-storey car parks or on roads with steep uphill or downhill gradients. Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in these situations.

Active Steering Assist Function of Active Steering Assist Active Steering Assist assists the driver at speeds up to 210 km/h and helps the driver to stay in the centre of the lane by means of mod erate steering interventions. The system orients Driving and parking 215 itself using detected lane markings. Depending on the speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the vehicles ahead as a reference. If the detec tion of lane markings and vehicles ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist switches to pas sive mode. The system does not provide support in the form of steering interventions. R The driver is required to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times and be able to intervene at any time to correct the course of the vehicle and keep it in lane. R The status of Active Steering Assist is dis played in the status bar of the multifunction display. Steering and contact detection The driver is required to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times and to be able to intervene at any time. The driver must expect a change from active to passive mode or vice versa at any time. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 216 Driving and parking If the system reaches a system limitation or the driver has not steered the vehicle for a consider able period of time or has removed their hands from the steering wheel, the system will, depending on the situation, first alert the driver with a visual warning. Display 1 appears in the multifunction display. If the driver still does not steer the vehicle, or has still not taken hold of the steering wheel, a repeated warning tone sounds in addition to the visual warning mes sage to remind the driver to take control of the vehicle. The warning message does not appear or disap pears if one of the following conditions are met:
R The driver steers the vehicle. R The driver presses a steering wheel button or operates Touch Control. Active Steering Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible for the distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. Before changing lanes, the driver must make sure that the neighbouring lane is free (glance over the shoulder). System limitations Active Steering Assist has a limited steering tor que for lateral guidance. In some cases, the steering intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehicle in the lane or to drive past exits. Active Steering Assist cannot provide the driver with steering assistance at roundabouts, T-junctions, junctions, toll stations or turns, for example. The system may be impaired or may not function in the following instances:
R In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare, direct sunlight, greatly varying light conditions, reflections or strong shadows on the carriageway. R Insufficient road illumination. R The windscreen in the area of the camera is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered. R Absence of lane markings, or several unclear lane markings, or if the markings change rap idly. R The distance to the vehicle in front is too small and the lane markings thus cannot be detected. R The road is narrow and winding. R Obstacles on the lane or projecting out into the lane. The system does not provide assistance in the following conditions:
R On tight bends, roundabouts and when turn ing. R When towing a trailer. R When actively changing lane without switch ing on the turn signal.

Active Parking Assist Function of Active Parking Assist Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking assistance system which uses ultrasound and is automatically activated during forward travel. The system is operational at speeds of up to approximately 35 km/h. When all the conditions are fulfilled, the c symbol appears in the multifunction display and the system automati cally searches for and measures parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle parallel and perpen dicular to the direction of travel. If Active Parking Assist is activated, suitable parking spaces are displayed in the multimedia system. The symbol appears in the multifunction display. The arrows show on which side of the carriageway free parking spaces are located. The parking space and, if necessary, the parking direction can be selected as desired. Active Parking Assist calculates a suitable vehicle path and assists you in parking and exiting the park ing space. Vehicles with automatic transmission: Active Parking Assist changes gear, accelerates, brakes and steers the vehicle. Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that no persons, animals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring range. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only Active Parking Assist is cancelled if, among other things, one of the following actions is car ried out:
R You deactivate Parking Assist PARKTRONIC. R You deactivate Active Parking Assist. R You begin steering. R You apply the parking brake. R You engage j. R ESP intervenes. R You open the tailgate. System limitations of Active Parking Assist Objects located above or below the detection range of Active Parking Assist are not detected when the parking space is being measured. These are also not taken into account when the parking manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhang ing loads, overhangs or loading ramps of lorries or the boundaries of parking spaces. In some cir cumstances, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into the parking space prematurely.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to objects located above or below the detection range of Active Parking Assist If there are objects above or below the detection range, the following situations may arise:
R Active Parking Assist may steer too early. R Vehicles with automatic transmis sion: The vehicle may not stop in front of these objects. This could cause a collision.
# In these situations, do not use Active Parking Assist. Snowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parking space being measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be identified as such or be measured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip ground. Driving and parking 235 Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following situations:
R If you are driving in extreme weather condi tions such as ice, packed snow or in heavy rain. R If you are transporting a load that protrudes beyond the vehicle.

& WARNING Risk of an accident when using the bicycle rack incorrectly The bicycle rack may become detached from the vehicle in the following cases:
R the permissible load capacity of the trailer hitch is exceeded. R the bicycle rack is used incorrectly. R the bicycle rack is secured to the ball neck beneath the ball head. Observe the following for your own safety and that of other road users:
R always adhere to the permissible load capacity of the trailer hitch. R only use the bicycle rack to transport bicycles. R always mount the bicycle rack properly by attaching to the ball head and the ball neck guide pin, if possible. R when transporting four bicycles, always use bicycle racks which have additional support on the ball neck guide pin. R only use bicycle racks approved by Mercedes-Benz. R always observe the bicycle rack operating instructions.
* NOTE Damage to, or cracks on, the trailer hitch due to unsuitable bicycle racks or bicycle racks being used incor rectly
# use only bicycle racks approved by Mercedes-Benz. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only R when mounted on ball head 1 and guide pin 2, the maximum load capacity is 100 kg. Up to four bicycles can be transported. The load capacity is calculated from the weight of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack load. For bicycles weighing a total of between 75 kg and 100 kg only use bicycle racks with addi tional support on guide pin 2. The vehicle's driving characteristics change when a bicycle rack is fitted. The vehicle:
R is heavier R is restricted in its acceleration and slope climbing ability R has an increased braking distance This can impair the vehicle's driving characteris tics. Adapt your driving style accordingly. Drive carefully and maintain a safe distance. When using a bicycle rack, set the tyre pressure for maximum load on the rear axle of the vehicle. Further information on the tyre pressure can be found in the tyre pressure table ( page 406). Driving and parking 257 Notes on loading The larger the distance between the load's centre of gravity and the ball head, the greater the load on the trailer hitch. Observe the following notes:
R mount heavy bicycles as close to the vehicle as possible. R always distribute the load on the bicycle rack as evenly as possible across the vehicle's longitudinal axis. Mercedes-Benz recommends removing all detachable parts from bicycles, e.g. baskets, child seats or rechargeable batteries, before loading them onto the bicycle rack. This improves the wind resistance and centre of grav ity of the bicycle rack. Always secure the bicycles to prevent them from moving around and check they are secured at regular intervals. Do not use tarpaulins or other covers. The driv ing characteristics and rear view may be impaired. In addition, the wind resistance and load on the trailer hitch increase. Trailer hitch (example with additional guide pins) Depending on the design, up to four bicycles can be transported on the bicycle rack:
R when mounted by attaching to ball head 1, the maximum load capacity is 75 kg. Up to three bicycles can be transported. Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only 258 Driving and parking Observe the following information when loading the bicycle rack:
Number of bicy cles Max. dis tance 1 Max. dis tance 2 Total weight of bicy cle rack and load Distribution of the load on the bicycle rack 1 Vertical distance between centre of gravity and ball head 2 Horizontal distance between centre of grav ity and ball head 3 The centre of gravity is on the vehicle's cen tral axis 3 41 41 Up to 75 kg Up to 90 kg1 Up to 100 kg1 420 mm 300 mm 420 mm 400 mm 420 mm 400 mm 1 When transporting four bicycles or with a total weight between 75 kg and 100 kg, always use bicycle racks with additional sup port on the trailer hitch guide pin. Vehicle towing instructions The vehicle is not suitable for attaching tow-bar systems, which are used for flat towing or dinghy towing, for example. Attaching and using tow-bar systems can lead to damage on the vehicle. When towing a vehicle with tow-bar systems, safe, dynamic driving behaviour of the towing vehicle and the vehicle being towed is not guar anteed. The vehicle-trailer combination can swerve from side to side. Comply with the per mitted towing methods ( page 395) and the instructions for towing with both axles on the ground ( page 396). 1 When transporting four bicycles or with a total weight between 75 kg and 100 kg, always use bicycle racks with additional support on the trailer hitch guide pin.

R Suitability R Legal stipulations R Factory recommendations
& WARNING Risk of accident with high performance tyres The special tyre tread in combination with the optimised tyre compound, means that the risk of skidding or hydroplaning on wet roads is increased. In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at a low outside temperature and tyre running temperature.
# Switch on the ESP and adapt your driving style accordingly.
# Use M+S tyres at outside temperatures of less than 50 F. Observe the following when selecting, fitting and replacing tyres:
R Country-specific requirements for tyre approval that define a specific tyre type for your vehicle. Furthermore, the use of certain tyre types in certain regions and areas of operation can be highly beneficial. R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended tyres) and the same make. R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right). Nur fr internen Gebrauch / For internal use only It is only permissible to fit a different wheel size in the event of a flat tyre in order to drive to the specialist workshop. R Only fit tyres of the correct size onto the wheels. R Do not make any modifications to the brake system, the wheels or the tyres. The use of shims or brake dust shields is not permitted and may invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit. R Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system: all fitted wheels must be equipped with functioning sensors for the tyre pres sure monitoring system. R At temperatures below 7 C, use winter tyres or all-season tyres marked M+S for all wheels. Winter tyres bearing the i snowflake symbol in addition to the M+S marking pro vide the best possible grip in wintry road conditions. R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same tread. R Observe the maximum permissible speed for the M+S tyres fitted. If this is below the vehicle's maximum speed, this must be indicated in an appropriate label in the driver's field of vision. R Run in new tyres at moderate speeds for the first 100 km. R Replace the tyres after six years at the latest, regardless of wear. R When replacing with tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics: vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
