System self-test
The 45 indicator lamp illuminates
when you:
R turn the SmartKey to position 1 or 2 in the
ignition lock
R on vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start-Stop button once or twice
The 45 indicator lamp goes out again
after approximately six seconds.
If the 45 indicator lamp does not
illuminate or is lit continuously, the system is
malfunctioning. Before transporting a child
on the front-passenger seat, have the
BabySmart™ system checked at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
For more information, see "Problems with the
air bag deactivation system" section
( Y page 49)
GWarning
Do not place powered-on laptops, mobile
phones, electronic tags such as those used in
ski passes or similar electronic devices on the
front passenger seat. Signals from such
devices may interfere with the BabySmart™
air bag deactivation system. Such signal
interference may cause the 45
indicator lamp not to come on during self-test.
The 6 SRS indicator lamp and/or the
45 indicator lamp could be
continuously lit, indicating that the system is
not functioning. The front-passenger front air
bag could deploy inadvertently or fail to
deploy in an accident.

Trailers with a high center of gravity may tip
over before the system recognizes swaying of
the trailer.
Trailer stabilization does not work if ESP ®
is
deactivated or disabled because of a
malfunction.
EBD
GWarning
Observe "Important safety notes"
( Y page 61).
EBD monitors and controls the brake
pressure on the rear wheels to improve
driving stability while braking.
GWarning!
If the EBD malfunctions, the brake system will
still function with full brake boost. However,
the rear wheels could lock up during
emergency braking situations, for example.
You could lose control of the vehicle and
cause an accident.
Adapt your driving style to the changed
driving characteristics.
Anti-theft systems
Immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents your vehicle from
being started without the correct key.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. The
engine can be started by anyone with a valid
key that is left inside the vehicle.
XTo activate with the SmartKey: remove
the SmartKey from the ignition lock.XTo activate with KEYLESS-GO: switch the
ignition off and open the driver's door.XTo deactivate: switch on the ignition.
i
The immobilizer is always deactivated
when you start the engine.
In the event that the engine cannot be
started when the starter battery is fully
charged, the immobilizer may be faulty.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center or call 1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in
USA) or 1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
ATA (Anti-Theft Alarm system)
A visual and audible alarm is triggered if the
alarm system is armed and you open:
R a door
R the vehicle with the mechanical key
R the tailgate
R the hood
The alarm is not switched off, even if you
close the open door that has triggered it, for
example.
i If the alarm stays on for more than 30
seconds, the emergency call system
mbrace (USA only) or TELEAID (Canada
only) initiates a call to the Customer
Assistance Center automatically. The
emergency call system initiates the call
provided that:
R you have subscribed to the mbrace/
TELEAID service.
R the mbrace/TELEAID service has been
activated properly.
R the required mobile phone, power supply
and GPS are available.

Rthis equipment must not emit harmful,
electromagnetic radiation.
R this equipment receives electromagnetic
radiation, including radiation which can
trigger unwanted functions.
Any unauthorized change to this equipment
can lead to the user's operating license
being withdrawn.
Important information for using
KEYLESS-GO
R You can use the KEYLESS-GO key as a
conventional key.
R You can combine KEYLESS-GO functions
with those of a conventional key (e.g. open
with KEYLESS-GO and close with the
& button).
R Always carry your KEYLESS-GO key on your
person.
R Never keep the KEYLESS-GO key with:
- electronic equipment, such as your
mobile phone or another key
- metal objects, such as coins or metal foil
This may impair the functioning of KEYLESS-
GO.
R To open or close the vehicle, the KEYLESS-
GO key should be no more than 3 ft (1 m)
from the door or tailgate.
R When the vehicle is parked for more than
72 hours, the KEYLESS-GO function is
deactivated. Pull one of the outer door
handles and turn on the ignition to
reactivate the KEYLESS-GO function.
R If the KEYLESS-GO key is not near the
vehicle, it is possible that the system may
not recognize it. In this case, the vehicle
cannot be locked or started with KEYLESS-
GO.
R If the KEYLESS-GO key has been removed
from the vehicle (e.g. if a passenger leaves
the vehicle with the KEYLESS-GO key):
- while someone is holding the Start/Stop
button or attempting to lock the vehicle
with the outer door handle, the message
Key not detected appears in the
multifunction display
- while the engine is running, the red
message Key not detected appears in
the multifunction display as you pull
away. Find the KEYLESS-GO key or
change its current position immediately
(e.g. place it on the front-passenger seat
or carry it in your shirt pocket.)
R If you have started the engine using the
Start/Stop button, you can turn if off again
by:
- pressing the Start/Stop button again
- inserting the KEYLESS-GO key in the
ignition lock when the vehicle is
stationary and the automatic
transmission is in parking position P.
R You may accidentally unlock the vehicle if
the KEYLESS-GO key is within 3 ft (1 m) of
the vehicle and:
- an outer door handle comes into contact
with water
or
- you are cleaning an outer door handle.
R Note that the engine can be started by any
vehicle occupant if a KEYLESS-GO key is in
the vehicle.
Option 1: there is a KEYLESS-GO key in the
vehicle and a KEYLESS-GO key outside the
vehicle. If you leave the KEYLESS-GO key
behind when you get out and lock the
vehicle, a message does not appear in the
multifunction display.
Option 2: there is a KEYLESS-GO key in the
vehicle but no KEYLESS-GO key outside the
vehicle. When you get out and try to lock
the vehicle, the message Key still in
vehicle appears in the multifunction
display. The vehicle is not locked in this
case.
When starting the engine and while driving,
KEYLESS-GO also checks whether a valid key
is in the vehicle by periodically establishing
radio contact.70SmartKeyOpening and closing

Driving tips
General driving tips
Important safety notes
GWarning
Please do not forget that your primary
responsibility is to drive the vehicle. A driver's
attention to the road must always be his/her
primary focus when driving. For your safety
and the safety of others, we recommend that
you pull over to a safe location and stop
before placing or taking a telephone call.
If you use the telephone 18
while driving,
please use the hands-free device and only use
the telephone when road, weather and traffic
conditions permit. Some jurisdictions prohibit
the driver from using a mobile telephone while
driving a vehicle.
Only operate the audio system or
COMAND 18
(Cockpit Management and Data
System) if road, weather and traffic
conditions permit. Otherwise, you may not be
able to observe traffic conditions and could
endanger yourself and others.
Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph
(approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is
covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately
14 m) every second.
Drive sensibly – save fuel
To save fuel, observe the following notes:
XKeep tires at the recommended inflation
pressures.XRemove unnecessary cargo.XRemove the roof rack when not in use.XMaintain a low engine speed until the
engine is warm.XAvoid frequent acceleration and
deceleration.XHave all maintenance work performed at
the service intervals specified in the
Service Booklet or indicated by the service
interval indicator.
Fuel consumption is also increased by driving
in cold weather, in stop-and-go traffic, on
short trips and in mountainous areas.
Drinking and driving
GWarning
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and
driving are very dangerous combinations.
Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can
affect your reflexes, perceptions and
judgment.
The possibility of a serious or even fatal
accident are greatly increased when you drink
or take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or
taking drugs.
Pedals
GWarning
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals' range of movement.
18 Observe all legal requirements.144Driving tipsDriving and parking
