General notes
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when closing the sliding sunroof. If there is a
risk of entrapment, release the switch and
push it briefly in any direction to stop the slid-
ing sunroof. G
Risk of injury
Children could injure themselves if they oper-
ate the sliding sunroof.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for
a short time. G
Risk of injury
The glass in the panorama sunroof could
break in an accident. If you are not wearing a seat belt, there is a risk that you could be
thrown through the opening in the event of the
vehicle overturning. Therefore, always wear a
seat belt to reduce the risk of injuries.
! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof
if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. The seals could otherwise
be damaged.
i When the sliding sunroof is open, apart
from the normal airflow noises resonance
noises may also occur. They are caused by
minor pressure fluctuations in the vehicle
interior. Change the position of the sliding
sunroof or open a side window slightly to
reduce or eliminate these noises.

G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the country
in which you are currently driving regarding
operating mobile communications equipment
in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so when the traffic
situation allows. Otherwise, you could be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronics and,
thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you
must only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate, reflection-free, exte-
rior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions relat-
ing to the possible health risk posed by elec-
tromagnetic fields. To ensure optimum reception quality for
mobile phones in the vehicle, and to minimise
mutual influences between the vehicle elec-
tronics and mobile phones, Mercedes-Benz
recommends the use of an approved exterior
aerial. An exterior aerial conducts the elec-
tromagnetic fields generated by a wireless
device to the exterior of the vehicle; the field
strength within the vehicle interior is lower
than in a vehicle that does not have an exte-
rior aerial.
i
There are various mobile phone brackets
that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some
cases, these are country-specific. You can
obtain these mobile phone brackets from a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The functions and services available when
you use the phone depend on your mobile
phone model and service provider.
Inserting the mobile phone
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 189).
X Automatic vehicles without the DIRECT
SELECT selector lever*: connect the
mobile phone bracket to the preinstalled
fitting; see the separate mobile phone
bracket fitting instructions.
Automatic vehicles with the DIRECT
SELECT selector lever *:install the sliding
adapter depending on the model of the
mobile phone bracket (Y page 211).
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile
phone bracket; see the separate mobile
phone bracket fitting instructions.
If the mobile phone is inserted in the mobile
phone bracket, you can speak to the person
you are calling using the hands-free system.
You can operate the telephone using the
6 and~ buttons on the multi-function
steering wheel. You can operate other mobile
phone functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 128). 210

When you take the key out of the ignition lock,
the mobile phone stays on but you can no
longer use the hands-free system.
If you are making a call and you would like to
take the key out of the ignition lock, first
remove the mobile phone from the bracket.
Otherwise, the call will be ended.
Sliding adapter for the mobile phone
bracket (automatic vehicles with
DIRECT SELECT selector lever*) Certain mobile phone brackets require a slid-
ing adapter so the bracket can be installed
correctly.

around the pedals when floormats are used,
and that the floormats are properly secured.
The floormats must be correctly secured at all
times using retainers and press-studs.

Risk of accident and injury
The operating safety of the vehicle can be compromised if maintenance work is carried out
incorrectly. This could cause you to lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident. The safety
systems may also not be able to protect you or others as they are designed to do.
Always have maintenance work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. The qualified spe-
cialist workshop must have the necessary specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose. In particular, work relevant to safety or on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. 252
