Diagnostics connection
G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to the diagnostics
connection, it can affect the operation of the
vehicle systems .This can impair the operating
safety of your vehicle while driving. There is a
risk of accident.
Do not connect any equipment to the diag-
nostics connection. G
WARNING
Loose equipment or equipment cables that
are connected to the diagnostics connection
can obstruct the area around the pedals. The
equipment or the cables could get between
the pedals in the event of sudden braking or
acceleration. As a result, the movement of the
pedals may be impaired. There is a risk of
accident.
Do not attach any equipment or cables in the
driver footwell.
! If the engine is switched off and equip-
ment on the diagnostics connection is
used, the starter battery may discharge.
The diagnostics connection is only intended
for the connection of diagnostic equipment at
a qualified specialist workshop.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics
connection can, for example, lead to emis-
sions monitoring information being reset.
This may lead to the vehicle failing to meet
the requirements of the next emissions test
during the main inspection. Qualified specialist workshop
Aq ualified specialist workshop has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge, tools and quali-
fications to correctl ycarry out the work required on your vehicle
.This is especially the
case for work relevant to safety.
Observe the information in the Service Book-
let.
Always have the following work carried out at
a qualified specialist workshop:
R work relevant to safety
R service and maintenance work

tions

Mercedes-Ben zrecommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Vehicle registration
Mercedes-Benz may ask its Service Centres
to carry out technical inspections on certain
vehicles to improve their quality or safety.
If you did not purchase your vehicle from an
authorised specialist dealer and your vehicle
has never been inspected at a Mercedes-
BenzS ervice Centre, it is possible that your
vehicle is not registered in your name with
Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes-Benz can only
infor myou about vehicle checks if it has your
registration data.
It is advisable to register your vehicle with a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

WARNING
Various warning stickers are affixed to your
vehicle. Their purpose is to draw your atten-
tion, and the attention of others, to various
dangers. Therefore, do not remove any warn-
ing stickers unless the sticker clearly states
that you may do so. Introduction

More information about seat-belt adjust-
ment,ac onvenience function integrated into
PRE-SAFE ®
, can be found in the "Seat-belt
adjustment" section (Y page 51).NECK-PRO head restraints
The NECK-PRO head restraints increase pro-
tection to the driver's and front passenger's
head and neck.T o this end, the NECK-PRO
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of
a certain severity. This provides better head
support. G
WARNING
Only use head restraint covers which have
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
for your vehicle model.
The use of non-approved head restraint cov-
ers may prevent NECK-PRO head restraints
from triggering properly. Consequently, the
NECK-PRO head restraints cannot provide the
intended level of protection.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
regarding availability.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints have been
triggered in an accident, reset the NECK-PRO
head restraints on the driver’s and front-
passenger seat (Y page 49). Otherwise, the
additional protection will not be available in
the event of another rear-end collision. You
can recognise when NECK-PRO head
restraints have been triggered by the fact that
they have moved forwards and can no longer
be adjusted. Resetting triggered NECK-PRO head
restraints
Following a rear-end collision, Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you have NECK-PRO
head restraints checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. i
Resetting the NECK-PRO head restraints
requires a lot of strength. If you have diffi-
culty resetting the NECK-PRO head
restraints, have this work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Example: Saloon
X
Tilt the top of the NECK-PRO head restraint
cushion forwards in the direction of
arrow :.
X Push the NECK-PRO head restraint cushion
down in the direction of arrow ;as far as
it will go.
X Firmly push the NECK-PRO head restraint
cushion back in the direction of arrow =
until the cushion engages.
X Repeat this procedure for the second
NECK-PRO head restraint. Seat belts
Important safety notes Seat belts are the most effective means of
restraining the movement of vehicle occu-
pants in the event of an accident. This
reduces the risk of vehicle occupants coming
into contact with parts of the vehicle interior.

WARNING
A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or
which has not been engaged in the seat belt
buckle correctly, cannot provide the intended
level of protection. Under certain circumstan- Occupant safety
