Overview of driving systems
The driving systems of your vehicle are
described on the following pages:
R cruise control and SPEEDTRONIC, which
you can use to control the speed of the
vehicle
R PARKTRONIC, which assists you in parking
and manoeuvring
R reversing camera, which assists you when
parking
Driving safety systems such as ABS, BAS and
ESP ®
are described in the "Driving safety sys-
tems” section (Y page 45). Cruise control
Cruise control maintains a constant road
speed for you. It brakes automatically in order
to avoid exceeding the set speed. On long and
steep downhill gradients, especially if the
vehicle is laden, you must select shift range
1, 2or 3in good time. By doing so, you will
make use of the braking effect of the engine,
which relieves the load on the brake system
and prevents the brakes from overheating
and wearing too quickly. G
Risk of accident
Do not change down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface. This could
cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-
ditions make it appropriate to maintain a
steady speed for a prolonged period. You can
store any road speed above 30 km/h. G
Risk of accident
Cruise control cannot take account of road
and traffic conditions.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions
even when cruise control is activated.
Cruise control is only an aid designed to assist
driving. You are responsible for the vehicle's
speed and for braking in good time. G
Risk of accident
Do not use cruise control:
R in road and traffic conditions which do not
allow you to maintain a constant speed (e.g.
heavy traffic or winding roads). You could
otherwise cause an accident.
R on slippery roads. Braking or accelerating
could cause the drive wheels to lose trac-
tion and the vehicle could then skid.
R when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow Driving systems

Notes on the vehicle battery
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 preven tdamage from corrosion, only
replace the battery with one that has a central
ventilation cover.
Consult a Mercedes-Ben zService Centre if
you wish to leave your vehicle parked up for
a long period of time. G
Risk of injury
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 creating sparks.
Battery acid is caustic.
Avoid contact with the skin,
eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective
clothing, in particular
25 Only for certain countries. 334

Jump-starting
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be jump-started from another vehicle
or from an external battery using jump leads.
Observe the following points:
R you may only jump-start the vehicle when the engine and catalytic converter are cold.
R do not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
R jump-starting may only be performed from batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
R only use jump leads which have a sufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
i Jump leads and further information about jump-starting can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Only use the jump-starting procedure for
the battery in the engine compartment.
Do not use a rapid-charging device to start the engine. G
Risk of injury
There is a risk of acid burns when jump-starting a vehicle due to the gases which escape from
the battery. Do not lean over the battery while the engine is being jump-started. G
Risk of explosion
Gases escaping from the battery 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 and take protective measures when handling batteries. You will
find these under "Battery" in the index.
X Make sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
X Press the electric parking brake handle.
X Shift the transmission to Pwith the button in the centre console.
X Switch off all electrical consumers (e.g. radio, blower etc.).
X Open the bonnet (Y page 267).338
