WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for
the country in which you are currently driving when operating integrated information sys-
tems and communications equipment.
Only use information systems and communi-
cations devices if this is permitted while driv-
ing and if the traffic situation permits. You
may otherwise be distracted from the traffic
conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.

after the vehicle verification code (VVC) and
your user details carefully.
The vehicle verification code (VVC) is required when you register for the first time on the

vehicle and the user access are linked to each other on the "Vehicle Homepage", enabling
the intended usage. You can obtain further

on the "Vehicle Homepage". Additionally,
you must destroy documents containing
the vehicle verification code (VVC).
R If you have bought a used vehicle, it is pos-
sible that the previous owner still has
access to the "Vehicle Homepage". If in
doubt, have a new vehicle verification code
(VVC) issued by the Mercedes-Benz Center
after purchase. With the code you can set
up access to your vehicle, as described in
the section "Setting up a personal area" on
the Vehicle Homepage". There, you may
also deactivate the existing access of the
previous owner. 152
