Important safety notes
G
Risk of injury
The electrically adjustable steering wheel can
still be adjusted when there is no key in the
ignition lock. Therefore, do not leave children
unsupervised in the vehicle, as they could
become trapped if the steering wheel is adjus-
ted. G
Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the vehi-
cle is stationary and do not pull away until the
steering wheel adjustmen tmechanism is
locked in position .You might otherwise drive
without the steering wheel adjustmen tmech-
anism being locked in position .As a result,
you could be distracted from road and traffic
conditions by an unintentional movement of
the steering wheel and thereby cause an acci-
dent. 90

ton :goes out.
Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on/off using the remote control Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls
for your vehicle. For further information, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. The remote control has a maximum range of
approximately 300 metres. This range is
reduced by:
R
sources of radio interference
R solid objects between the remote control
and the vehicle
R the remote control being in an unfavoura-
ble position in relation to the vehicle
R transmitting from an enclosed space
i The optimum range can be achieved if you
hold the remote control vertically, pointing
upwards when you press one of the but-
tons.

X Carefully depress the accelerator pedal.
i The vehicle locks centrally once you have
pulled away.T he locking knobs in the doors
drop down.
You can open the doors from the inside at
any time.
You can also deactivate the automatic lock-
ing feature (Y page 209).
i Upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds after a cold start. This helps the
catalytic converter to reach its operating
temperature more quickly.
Hill starta ssist Hill start assist helps you when pulling away
forwards or in reverse on an uphill gradient. It holds the vehicle for a short time after you
have removed your foot from the brake pedal.
This gives you enough time to move your foot
from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal
and depress it before the vehicle begins to
roll. G
Risk of accident
Never leave the vehicle when it is held by hill
start assist. After approximately one second,
hill start assist will no longer brake your vehi-
cle and it could roll away.
X Take your foot off the brake pedal.
i Once you have taken your foot off the
brake pedal, the vehicle is held for around
one second.
X Pull away.
Hill start assist will not function if:
R you are pulling away on a level road or a
downhill gradient.
R the transmission is in position N.
R the parking brake is applied.

is malfunctioning. ECO start/stop function
General notes The ECO start/stop function is only available
for the CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY and
CLS 63 AMG models.
AMG vehicles:
the ECO start/stop function
is only available in the Cdrive program.
The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically when the vehicle
stops moving.
The engine starts automatically when you pull
away again. The ECO start/stop function
thereby helps you to reduce the fuel con-
sumption and emissions of your vehicle. Driving

Risk of accident and injury
If the engine is switched off and the ECO sym-
bol is shown in green in the multifunction dis-
play, the engine has been switched off auto-
matically. All of the vehicle's systems remain active. If you open the door, unfasten your
seat belt or remove your foot from the brake
pedal, the engine will automatically start.T
he
vehicle may begin moving. You could suffer
serious or even fatal injury or cause an acci-
dent resulting in injury or death.
Never leave the vehicle while the ECO symbol
in the multifunction display is shown in green
or yellow. Always secure the vehicle against
rolling away before leaving it.
! Always switch the ignition off and take the
key with you when leaving the vehicle.
Automatic engine switch-off The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically if the vehicle is
braked to a standstill and the brake remains
depressed with the transmission in position
D or N.
i You can still activate HOLD when the vehi-
cle is stationary, even if the engine has
been switched off automatically .Itis then
not necessary to continue applying the
brakes during the automatic stop phase.
When you depress the accelerator pedal,
the engine starts automatically and the
braking effect of the HOLD function is deac-
tivated. Depress the accelerator pedal
carefully, as the engine must be started
first.
The engine is only switched off if:
R the outside temperature is within the range
which is suitable for the system.
R the engine is at normal operating temper-
ature.
R the set temperature for the vehicle interior
has been reached.
R the battery is sufficiently charged.
R the system detects that the windscreen is
not misted up when the air-conditioning
system is switched on.
R the bonnet is closed.
R the front door is closed and the seat belt is
fastened. 132

Do not mix these fuels with petrol and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
this can lead to damage to the engine. This
does not include additives for the removal
and prevention of residue build-up on the
inlet valves.
! Use a filter when adding fuel from a fuel
can. The fuel lines and/or the diesel injec-
tion system could otherwise be blocked by
particles from the fuel can.
i If the recommended fuel is not available,
but only as a temporary measure, you may
also use regular unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON. This may reduce
engine performance and increase fuel con-
sumption. Avoid driving at full throttle.
In some countries, the fuel grade available
may not be adequate and could cause res-
idue to build up around the inlet valves. In
such cases, and in consultation with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, the petrol
may be mixed with the additive recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Ben z(part no.
A000989254510). You must observe the
notes and mixing ratios specified on the
container.
For further information on "Fuel", see
(Y page 319).
AMG vehicles !
Only refuel using super-grade unleaded
petrol with at least 98 RON/88 MON,
which conforms to European standard EN
228 or equivalent.
You can otherwise impair engine output or
damage the engine.
i If the recommended fuel is not available
and only as a temporary measure, you may
also use premium-grade unleaded petrol,
95 RON/85 MON. This may reduce engine performance and increase fuel consump-
tion. Avoid driving at full throttle.
! In emergencies, and only when the rec-
ommended fuel is not available, you may
also use standard unleaded petrol,
91 RON/82.5 MON.
However, using this fuel results in consid-
erably higher petrol consumption and sig-
nificantly reduced engine performance.
Avoid driving at full throttle.
If no fuel other than regular petrol with
91 RON/82.5 MON or a lower grade is per-
manently available, you should have the
vehicle adapted to run on this fuel by the
local after-sales service centre.
CLS 350 BlueEFFICIENCY !
Only refuel using unleaded, sulphur-free
premium-grade petrol with at least
95 RON/85 MON, which conform stoEuro-
pean standard EN 228 or an equivalent
specification.
You can otherwise impai rengine outpu tor
damage the engine.
i In some countries, the available petrol
may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This
fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant
odours, especially on short journeys. As
soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content
<10p pm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced. Diesel (EN 590, DIN 51628)
Fuel grade !
Only refuel with diesel that conforms to
European standard EN 590 or German
standard DIN 51628 or equivalent. You can
otherwise impair engine output or damage
the engine.
! Vehicles with diesel particle filters: in
countries outside the EU, only use low sul-
phur Euro diesel with a sulphur conten tof Refuelling

the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 305).
i Notes on the vehicle equipmen t–always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at a given
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can obtain
aT IREFIT kit from aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre, for example.
