Important safety notes G
WARNING
Operating mobile communications equip-
ment while driving distracts you from paying
attention to traffic conditions. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a risk of an accident.
Use this device only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
i You must observe the legal requirements
for the country in which you are currently
driving when operating mobile communi-
cations equipment in the vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate commu-
nications equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you may only do so if the traffic sit-
uation permits. You may otherwise be dis-
tracted from the traffic conditions, cause
an accident and injure yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk
posed by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
R that mutual interference between the vehi-
cle electronics and mobile phones is mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated by a wireless device to the exterior
R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial

Information about Service Resetting the ASSYST PLUS service inter-
val display
! If the ASSYST PLUS service interval dis-
play has been inadvertently reset, this set-
ting can be corrected at a qualified special-
ist workshop.
Have service work carried out as described in the Service Booklet. This may otherwise
lead to increased wear and damage to the
major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre, will reset the ASSYST PLUS service interval display after
the service work has been carried out. You
can also obtain further information on main-
tenance work, for example. Special service requirements
The prescribed service interval is based on
normal operation of the vehicle. Service work
will need to be performed more often if the
vehicle is operated under arduous conditions or increased loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
ate stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel
short distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous ter-
rain or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long peri-
ods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil
filter changed more frequently. The tyres
must be checked more frequently if the vehi-
cle is operated under increased loads. Fur-
ther information can be obtained at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Driving abroad
An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is also available in other countries. You can
obtain further information from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. AdBlue

. AdBlue ®
is topped
up as part of the service. Under normal oper-
ating conditions, a full tank of AdBlue ®

General notes
H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man-
ner.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. a ring 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 cleaning it, 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 a few 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 a condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents rec-
ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Washing the vehicle and cleaning the
paintwork
Automatic car wash G
WARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after the vehicle has been washed. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
After washing the vehicle, brake carefully
while paying attention to the traffic conditions in order to restore full braking efficiency.
! If DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD function
is activated, the vehicle brakes automati-
cally in certain situations. To prevent dam-
age to the vehicle, deactivate DISTRONIC
PLUS and the HOLD function in the follow-
ing or other similar situations:
R when towing the vehicle
R in the car wash
! Make sure that:
R the side windows and sliding sunroof are
closed completely.
R the blower for the ventilation/heating is
switched off (OFF button is depressed).
R the windscreen wiper switch is at posi-
tion 0.
The vehicle could otherwise be damaged. 334

global warming (the greenhouse effect). Your
vehicle's CO 2emissions are directly related to
fuel consumption and therefore depend on:
R efficient use of the fuel by the engine
R driving style
R other non-technical factors, such as envi-
ronmental influences, road conditions or
traffic flow
You can minimise your vehicle's CO 2emis-
sions by driving carefully and having it serv-
iced regularly.
The vehicle will use more fuel than usual in the following situations:
R at very low outside temperatures
R in urban traffic
R on short journeys
R in mountainous terrain
R when towing a trailer
i Only for certain countries: you can find
the current consumption and emission val-
ues of your vehicle in the COC documents
(EU CERTIFICATE OF CONFORMITY). These documents are delivered with your vehicle.
The consumption figures were, in each
case, based on the currently applicable ver-sion:
R for vehicles that comply with standards
up to and including the EURO 4 standard,
in accordance with EU Directive
80/1268/EEC
R for vehicles that comply with or exceed
the EURO 5 standard, in accordance with
Regulation (EC) No. 715/2007
Deviations from these values may occur
under normal operating conditions. AdBlue
®
Important safety notes Comply with the important safety notes for
service products when handling AdBlue
®
(Y page 399). AdBlue
®
is a water-soluble fluid for the
exhaust gas aftertreatment of diesel engines. It is:
R non-toxic
R colourless and odourless
R non-flammable
If you open the AdBlue ®
tank, small amounts
of ammonia vapour may be released.
Ammonia vapours have a pungent odour and
are particularly irritating to the skin, to
mucous membranes and to the eyes. You may experience a burning sensation in your eyes,
nose and throat. You may also experience
coughing and watery eyes.
Do not inhale any ammonia vapours that may
be released. Only fill the AdBlue ®
tank in well-
ventilated areas.
Low outside temperatures AdBlue
®
freezes at a temperature of approx-
imately -11 †. The vehicle is delivered from
the factory equipped with an AdBlue ®
pre-
heating system. Winter operation can thus be guaranteed even at temperatures below
-11 †.
Additives !
Only use AdBlue ®
in accordance with ISO
22241. Do not use additives with AdBlue ®
and do not dilute AdBlue ®
with water. This
may destroy the BlueTEC exhaust gas after-
treatment system.
Purity !
Impurities in AdBlue ®
(e.g. due to other
service products, cleaning agents or dust)
lead to:
R increased emission values
R damage to the catalytic converter
R engine damage
R malfunctions in the BlueTEC ®
exhaust
gas aftertreatment system Service products and capacities
403Technical data Z

Assuring the purity of AdBlue
®
is particularly
important with respect to avoiding malfunc-
tions in the BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreat-
ment system.
If AdBlue ®
is pumped out of the AdBlue ®
tank,
e.g. during repair work, do not use this fluid to refill the tank. The purity of the fluid can no
longer be guaranteed.
