Solar panel*
Combined with the panorama slid-
ing/pop-up roof a solar panel is available.
The solar cells convert natural light into
electrical energy. When the engine is
switched off, the energy generated auto-
matically switches on the ventilation fan.
The constant air flow creates a cooler tem-
perature for cars parked in the sunlight.
The air flow depends on the intensity of the
solar radiation. The ventilation starts 2
minutes after switching off the engine.

Driving instructions
Drive sensibly – save fuel
Fuel consumption, to a great extent, de-
pends on driving habits and operating con-
ditions.
To save fuel you should:
Keep tires at the recommended infla-
tion pressures.
Remove unnecessary loads.
Remove roof rack when not in use.
Allow engine to warm up under low
load use.
Avoid frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
Have all maintenance work performed
at regular intervals by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Fuel consumption is also increased by driv-
ing in cold weather, in stop-and-go traffic,
on short trips and in hilly country.
