ECO Start/Stop function
When the green READY indicator lamp : in
the instrument cluster is on, the combustion
engine turns off automatically when
R you stop the vehicle and keep the brake
pedal depressed
R you activate the HOLD function
All vehicle systems remain active, for
example the climate control system.
When you remove the foot from the brake
pedal or accelerate when the HOLD function
is activated, the combustion engine starts
automatically. You can drive off as usual.GWarning!
When the green READY indicator lamp in the
instrument cluster is on while the combustion
engine is off, the combustion engine has been
turned off automatically. All vehicle systems
continue to be active. When you open the
driver’s door, unbuckle the seat belt, or take
your foot off of the brake pedal, the
combustion engine starts automatically. The
vehicle could start to drive off. An accident
causing serious or even fatal personal injury
to you and/or others could be the result.
Therefore, always do the following before
leaving the vehicle:
R Engage the electronic parking brake.
R Shift the automatic transmission into park
position P.
R Switch off the ignition. The green or yellow
READY indicator lamp goes out.
The conditions for turning off the combustion
engine automatically are fulfilled when
R the combustion engine has reached its
operating temperature
R the driver seat belt is fastened and the
driver’s door is closed
R the vehicle has exceeded a speed of 9 mph
(15 km/h) after driving off. In subsequent
stop-and-go traffic, brief forward
movement of the vehicle is sufficient
R you take your foot off the accelerator pedal
R the hood is closed and properly engaged
R the automatic transmission is in drive
position D or neutral position N
R the high-voltage battery is charged
sufficiently
R the HYBRID system is operating
undisturbed
i For information on driving with the
DISTRONIC Plus, see ( Y page 18).
When the conditions for turning off the engine
automatically are not fulfilled, the yellow
READY indicator lamp : is illuminated. The
combustion engine does not turn off
automatically when
R the self-diagnosis of the engine
management is still running
R the temperature of the coolant or the
catalyst is too low
R the climate control system of the vehicle
requires the engine to run
R the battery is being charged
R the vehicle has moved backward shortly
before
R the automatic transmission is in reverse
gear R
R automatic emission tests are in progress
After the combustion engine has been turned
off automatically, it restarts automatically in
circumstances, when
R the charging condition of the high-voltage
battery has reached the lower limit
R the settings of the climate control systems
require the engine to run, for example at an
outside temperature over 100‡ (38 †)
Driving off
Depress the brake pedal and shift the
automatic transmission into drive position D
or reverse gear R. If the message Apply

XEngage the electronic parking brake.
The parking brake indicator lamp $
(USA only) or ! (Canada only) in the
instrument cluster comes on.XShift the automatic transmission into park
position P.XSwitch off the ignition.
The green or yellow READY indicator lamp
goes out.
i For more information on parking and on
turning off the combustion engine, refer to
the Operator’s Manual.
Climate control
Notes
The climate control system is available when
the vehicle is operational and the green or
yellow READY indicator lamp is on.
The set temperature of the vehicle interior is
maintained for a certain period after the
combustion engine was turned off
automatically. Air recirculation switches on
automatically. The indicator lamp in rocker
switch g is not lit when the air
recirculation mode is switched on
automatically.
Air conditioning switched on
automatically
If the operating temperature of the high-
voltage battery is too high, it will be cooled by
the climate control system. The air
conditioning switches on automatically.
In such circumstances it is not possible to
switch off the air conditioning via COMAND
for several minutes.
i For more information on the climate
control system, refer to the Operator’s
Manual.

GWarning!
The electrolyte, i.e. the battery fluid, is toxic
and caustic. Do not allow this fluid to come in
contact with eyes, skin or clothing, for
example in case of an accident.
In case it does, immediately flush affected
area with water and seek medical help
immediately.
For information on the location of the 12-volt
battery and the high-voltage battery, see
(Y page 13).
! Deep discharge caused by prolonged
periods of the vehicle not being used, can
damage the high-voltage battery.
During such periods, operate the vehicle
every 4 weeks for several minutes in order
to charge the high-voltage battery.
During the charging process, switch off
electrical consumers that are currently not
needed, e.g. climate control system or seat
heating.
If necessary, get a jump start.
GWarning!
Inhalation of exhaust gas is hazardous to your
health. All exhaust gas contains carbon
monoxide (CO), and inhaling it can cause
unconsciousness and lead to death. Do not
run the engine in confined areas (such as a
garage) which are not properly ventilated.
If you do not intend to operate your vehicle
for an extended period of time, contact an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center about
steps you need to observe.
Removing/installing high-voltage
battery cover
XEngage the electronic parking brake.XShift the automatic transmission into park
position P.
XSwitch off the ignition.
The green or yellow READY indicator lamp
(Y page 16) in the instrument cluster goes
out.
XRemove the SmartKey from the starter
switch or remove the SmartKey with
KEYLESS-GO from the vehicle.
XObserve the safety notes on the danger of
electric shock in this manual.
XObserve the safety notes regarding the
hood in the Operator's manual.
XOpen the hood, see Operator's Manual.
Removing
XTurn locks 1 clockwise by 90°.XLift cover 2 as indicated by the arrows and
remove it forward as seen in driving
direction.
XStore cover 2 in the trunk for example.
