bonnet
:upwards until the relevant bon-
net actuator cover ;no longer moves.
Bonnet actuator covers ;should now lie
flat against housing =(arrow).
X Close bonnet :(Ypage 219).
If bonnet :cannot be closed or the L
symbol appears in the multi-function display,
repeat the steps again. G
Risk of accident
If the bonnet can still not be engaged properly
or the Lsymbol appears in the multi-func-
tion display, do not continue driving. Other-
wise, the bonnet may open when driving and
block your view. Consult a qualified specialist
workshop. Otherwise, you may cause an acci-
dent and injure yourself and others. Resetting triggered NECK-PRO head
restraints
If the NECK-PRO head restraints are triggered
in an accident, you must reset the head
restraints on the driver's and the front-pas-
senger's seats. Otherwise, the additional pro-
tection will not be available in the event of
another rear-end collision. You can recognise
when head restraints have been triggered by
the fact that they have moved forwards and
can no longer be adjusted.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have
NECK-PRO head restraints checked at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre, following a rear-end col-
lision.
i This work requires a lot of strength. If you
have difficulty resetting the head
restraints, have this work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Example: Saloon
X
Tilt the top of the head restraint cushion
forwards in the direction of arrow :.
X Push the head restraint cushion down in
the direction of arrow ;as far as it will go.
X Push the head restraint cushion firmly
backwards in the direction of arrow =until
it engages.
X Repeat this procedure for the second head
restraint. Replacing batteries (key and remote
control)
Notes
It is advisable to have the batteries replaced
at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of poisoning
Batteries contain toxic and caustic substan-
ces. For this reason, keep batteries away from
children.
If a battery is swallowed, consult a doctor
immediately. H
Environmental note
Do not dispose of batteries with the house-
hold rubbish. They contain highly toxic sub-
stances.

cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, or to a special collection point
for old batteries. Replacing batteries (key and remote control)
