electronic sand mobile phones are mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated by awireless device to the exterior.

Engine compartmentMaintenance and care

Special service requirements
Arduous operating condition
sorincreased
loads on the vehicle will require some service
work to be performed more often than for a
vehicle in normal use. Such arduousc ondi-
tions include regular city driving with frequent
intermediate stops and use in mountainous
terrain or on poor road surfaces.
For example, if the vehicle is used under ardu-
ous operating conditions, have air filters,
engine oil and oil filters changed frequently
and check the wheels often.F urther informa-
tion can be obtaine dataqualified specialist
workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Ben zService
Centre.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-BenzS ervice network
is also available in other countries. The
Service Hotline's curren ttelephone numbers
for use when you are abroad are to be found
in the "Mercedes-Benz Service24h" section
of the Service Booklet. Care
General notes
H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packagin gand cleaning
cloth sinane nvironmentally responsible man-
ner.
! For cleanin gyour vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleanin gagents
R solvents
R cleanin gagents containin gsolvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. aring or ice
scraper. You could otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces and protective film. !
Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleanin git, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for afew minutes after clean-
ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked up.
Regular care of your vehicle is acondition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care product sand cleanin gagents rec-
ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Washing the vehicle and cleaning the

Important safet
ynotes
Work on the battery, e.g. removin gorinstal-
ling, requires specialist knowledge and the
use of special tools. Therefore, alway shave
work on the batter ycarried out at aqualified
specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can, for example, lead to ashort circuit and
damage your vehicle's electronic system. This
can disrupt driving safety systems such as
ABS (anti-lock brakin gsystem) or ESP ®
(Elec-
tronic Stabilit yProgram).
R If AB Smalfunctions, th ewheels can lock
during braking. This limits th esteerability
of th evehicl ewhen brakin gand th ebraking
distanc emay increase .There is arisk of
accident.
R If ESP ®
malfunctions, the vehicle will not be
stabilised if it starts to skid or awheel starts
to spin. There is arisk of accident.
You should therefore have all work involving
the battery carried out at aqualified specialist
workshop. G
WARNING
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.
