Risk of accident
If children are lef tunsupervised in the vehicle,
they could:
R open a door from inside the vehicle at any
time, eve nifithas been locked
R start the vehicle using akey which has been
left in the vehicle
R release the parking brake
They could thereby endanger themselves and
others. Never leave children unsupervised in
the vehicle. Always take the key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only
leaving it for a short time.
The key centrally locks/unlocks:
R the doors

When you unlock the vehicle, the turn signal
lamps flash once. An acoustic signal may also
sound if a setting to this effec thas been made
in the on-board computer. The door handles
move out slightly.
If you do no topen either a door or the boot
lid after you have unlocked the vehicle, it will automatically relock after approximately 40
seconds.
Individual settings You can change the setting of the locking
system in such a way that only the driver's
door and the fuel filler flap are unlocked. This

G
Risk of accident
Do not place any objects in the driver's foot-
well. If you use a floormat or carpet in the
driver's footwell, make sure that it is correctly
secured and that there is sufficient clearance
for the pedals.
Do not place several floormats on top of one
another.
Loose objects or the floormats could other-
wise get caught between the pedals if you
accelerate or brake suddenly. You will then
not be able to brake, declutch or accelerate
as intended .This could lead to accidents and
injury. G
Risk of poisoning
Never leave the engine running in enclosed
spaces. The exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide. Inhaling exhaust fumes consti-
tutes a health hazard and could lead to loss
of consciousness or even death.
i Do not depress the accelerator pedal
when starting the engine.
KEYLESS-GO starting function G
Risk of injury
Your vehicle can be started using a valid KEY-
LESS GO key. For this reason, children should
never be left unsupervised in the vehicle.
Always take the KEYLESS GO key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even if you are only
leaving it for a short time.
i The Start/Stop button can be used to
start the vehicle without inserting the key
in the ignition lock. You merely need to
carry the key on your person.
When starting the engine and while the vehi-
cle is in motion, KEYLESS-GO regularly
checks whether a valid key is located in the
vehicle interior by means of brief radio con- nections. The boot is not covered by the
checks.
X
Shift the transmission to position P.
i You can also start the engine when the
transmission is in position N.
X Depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
X Press Start/Stop button 0001.
The engine starts.
Starting the engine with the key If the Start/Stop button is inoperative, you
can also start the vehicle using the key in the
ignition lock.
X
Turn the key to position 3in the ignition
lock (Y page 203) and release it as soon as
the engine is running. Pulling away
! Warm up the engine quickly. Do not use
the engine's full performance until it has
reached operating temperature. The oper-
ating temperature has been reached when
the engine oil temperature display in the
on-board computer's AMG menu no longer
flashes.
Only shift into reverse gear when the vehi-
cle is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drive
wheels when pulling away on slippery
roads. You could otherwise damage the
drive train. 220

i
Observe the notes on the first 1500 km
when running-in the vehicle (Y page 266).
! During a cold start with low engine oil
temperatures (below 0†), the maximum
engine speed is restricted in order to pro-
tect the engine. To protect the engine and
maintain smooth engine operation, avoid
driving at full throttle when the engine is
cold.
X Depress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
X Use the selector lever to shift the trans-
mission to position Dor R.
X Release the brake pedal.
X Carefully depress the accelerato rpedal.
The electric parking brake is automatically
released (Y page 221).
i The vehicle locks centrally once you have
pulled away. The locking knobs in the doors
drop down.
Hill start assist Hill start assist helps you when pulling away
on uphill gradients. 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 does 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 vehicle is secured with the electric
parking brake.
R ESP ®
is malfunctioning. Parking
G
Risk of accident
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. They might release the electric parking
brake. This could lead to aserious or fatal
accident. G
Risk of fire
Make sure that the exhaust system does not
under any circumstances come into contact
with flammable materials such as dry grass or
petrol. Do not park the vehicle on dry grass-
land or harvested grain fields. The material
could otherwise ignite and set the vehicle on
fire.
To ensure that the vehicle is secured against
rolling away unintentionally:
R the electric parking brake must be applied.
R the transmission must be in P.
R on steep uphill or downhill gradients, the
fron twheels must be turned towards the
kerb.
