ATTE NTION ASSIST assesses your level of
fatigu eorlapses in concentration by taking
the following criteria into account:
R your personal driving style, e.g. steering
characteristics
R journey conditions, e.g. time of day and
length of journey
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. the sur-
face is uneven or there are potholes
R if there is astron gside wind
R if you have adopted asporty driving style
with high cor nering speeds or hig hrates of
acceleration
R if you are predominantly driving slower
than 80 km/ horfaster than 180 km/h
R if you are currently using COMAND APS or
making atelephone call with it
R if the tim ehas been set incorrectly
R in active driving situations, such as when
you change lanes or change your speed

R there are tears in the sidewall softhe tyre.
After driving in run-flat mode, you must have
the wheel(s) checked for damage at aquali-
fie ds pecialist workshop whic hhas the nec-
essary specialis tknowledge and tool stocarry
out the work required. The faulty tyre must be
replaced in every case.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose .Inp articular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
i Whe nreplacing one or all tyres, make
sure that you only use tyres marked
MOExtended and of the specified size for
the vehicle.
i Vehicles featuring the MOExtended run-
flat system are not equipped with the
TIREFI Tkit. It is therefor erecommended
that you additionally equip your vehicle
with the TIREFI Tkit if you fit tyres that do
not featur erun-flat properties ,e.g. winter
tyres .You can obtain aTIREFIT kit from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre ,for exam-
ple. Ba
ttery Important safety notes
In order for the battery to achieve the maxi-
mum possible service life, it must always be
sufficiently charged.
Have the battery charge checked more fre-
quently if you use the vehicle mainly for short
trips or if you leave it standing idle for a
lengthy period. To prevent damage from corrosion, only
replace the battery with one that has
acentral
ven tilation cover.
Only replace abattery with abattery that has
been recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Consult aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentr eif
you wish to leave your vehicle parked up for
al ong period of time. G
Risk of inju
ry
Comply with safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when handling batteries. Risk of explosion
Fire, naked flames and
smoking are prohibited
when handling the battery.
Avoid creatin
gsparks. Battery acid is caustic.
Avoid contact with the skin,
eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protec
tive
clothing, in particular
gloves, an apro nand aface
mask.
Immediately rinse acid
splashes off with clean
water. Consult adoctor if
necessary. Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.

Risk of injury
There is arisk of acid burns when jump-starting avehicle due to the gases which escape from
the battery. Do not lean over the batter ywhile the engin eisbeing jump-started. G
Risk of explosion
Gases escapin gfrom th ebattery during jump-starting may cause minor explosions. Avoid cre-
ating sparks. Keep naked flames away from the battery, and do not smoke.
Comply with safety precautions when handling batteries. You will find these under "Battery" in
the index.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy startin gattempts. Otherwise, non-combuste dfuel may dam-
age the catalytic converter 41
and create arisk of fire.
Do not use arapid-charging device to start the engine.
Make sure the jump leads are not damaged.
Make sure the jump leads are not touching any other metal objects when they are connected
to the battery.
If your vehicle's battery is discharged ,the engin ecan be jump-started from another vehicle
or from asecond batter yusing jum pleads.
Observ ethe followin gpoints:
X The battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle' sbattery is not accessible,
jump-start the vehicle using asecond batter yorajump-star ting device.
X Only jump-start the vehicl ewhen th eengineisc old an dthe catalytic converter system has
cooled down 42
.
X Do no tstart the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
X Jump-starting may only be performed from batterie swithanominal voltage of 12 V.
X Only use jum pleads which have asufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
X Make sure that the jump leads cannot come into contact with parts, such as the pulley or
the fan. Thes eparts move when the engine is started and while it is running.
X If the battery is fully discharged ,leave the batter ythat is being used to jump-star tconnected
for afew minutes befor eattempting to start. This charges the battery alittle.
i Jump leads and further information about jump-startin gcan be obtained from any
Mercedes-Ben zService Centre.
X Make sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
X Apply the parking brak efirmly.
X Manual transmission: engage neutral.
X Automatic transmission: move the selector lever toP.
X Switch off all electrical consumer s(e.g. radio, blower, etc.).
X Open the bonnet (Y page 259).

Important safet
ynotes
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If afuse blows, all the compo-
nen tson th ecircuit and their function swill
fail. G
Ris
koff ire
Only use fuses that have been approve dfor
Mercedes-Ben zvehicles and which have the
cor rect fuse rating for the systems con-
cerned. Do not attempt to repai rorbridge
faulty fuses .Otherwise, acircuit overload
could cause afire. Have the cause traced and
rectified at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. aMercedes-Benz Ser vice Centre. Blow
nfuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and value. The fuse ratings are lis-
ted in the fuse allocation chart .AMercedes-
Ben zService Cent rewill be happy to advise
you.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz
Ser vice Centre.
! Onlyuse fuses that hav ebeen approved
for Mercedes-Ben zvehicles and which
have the cor rect fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, compo nentso rsys-
tems could be damaged. Befor
echangin gafuse
X Park th evehicle and apply the parking
brake.
X Swit choff all elect rical consumers.
X Remove the key from the ignitio nlock.
The fuses ar elocated in variou sfuse boxes:
R fuse box on the driver' sside of the dash-
board
R fuse box in the engin ecompartmen tonthe
driver's side
R fuse box in the boot on the right when
viewed in the direction of travel
The fuse allocation char tisl ocated in the

Coolant
Important safety notes The coolan
tisamixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosio ninhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R anti-corrosio nprotection
R antifreeze protection
R raising th eboiling point
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with acoolant mixtur ethat ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
! Only top up with coolant that has been
premixed with the desired antifreeze pro-
tec tion. You coul dotherwis edamage the
engine.
Further information on coolants and on fill-
ing can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products, MB
Approval 310.1 ,e.g. on the Internet at
http ://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .You can
also consult aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Alway suseasuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low.
If antifreeze/corrosio ninhibitor is present in
the correc tconcentration, the boilin gpoint of
the coolant will be around 13 0†.
The antifreeze/ corrosion inhibitor con centra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R be at leas t50%. This wil lprotect the cooling
system against freezing down to around
37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †); otherwise ,heat will not be
dissipated as effectively. If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Ben
zrecom-
mends an anti freeze/cor rosion inhibitor
whic hhas been approved for Mercedes -Benz.
! The coolin gsystem is filled with coolant
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250,000 km at the latest.
The warrant yisonly valid if you top up with
an antifreeze /corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Ben zand
