WARNING
The braking system can overheat if yo ulea ve
your foo tonthe brake peda lwhile driving.
Thi sincreases the braking distance and could
eve ncause the braking system to fail. There is
ar iskofana ccident.
Never us ethe brake peda lasafootrest. Do
not simultaneousl ydepress both the brake
peda land the accelerato rpedal whiledriving.
! Depressing the brake peda
lconstantly
results in excessive and premature wear to
the brake pads.
If heavy demands are made on the brakes, do
not park the vehicl eimmediately. Driv eonfor a
short while. Thi sallow sthe airflow to cool the
brakes more quickly.
If the brakes have been used onl ymoderately,
yo us houl doccasionall ytest thei reffectiveness.
To do this, brake more firmly from ahigher

WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Exhaust
gases can enter the vehicle interior if the boot
lid is open when the engine is running, espe-
cially if the vehicle is in motion. There is arisk
of poisoning.
Always switch off the engine before opening
the boot lid. Never drive with the boot lid
open. G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is arisk of injury, especially
when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objectssot hat they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey. G
WARNING
The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself. There is arisk of injury.
Always be particularly careful around the
exhaust tail pipe and the tail pipe trim. Allow
these components to cool down before touch-
ing them.
The handling characteristics of aladen vehicle
are dependent on the distribution of the load
within the vehicle. For this reason, you should
observe the following notes when transporting a
load:
R never exceed the maximum permissible gross
vehicle weight or the permissible axle loads
for the vehicle (including occupants).
R the boot is the preferred place to store
objects.
R position heavy loads as far forward as possi-
ble and as low down in the boot as possible. R
the load must not protrude above the upper
edge of the seat backrests.
R always place the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.
R secure the load with sufficiently stronga nd
wear-resistant lashing material. Pad sharp
edges for protection.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If objectsint he passenger compartmen tare
stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be
thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In
addition, cupholders, open stowage spaces
and mobile phone brackets cannot always
retain all objectst hey contain. There is arisk
of injury, particularly in the event of sudden
braking or asudden change in direction.
R Always stow objectssot hat they cannot be
thrown around in such situations.
R Always make sure that objectsdon ot pro-
trude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or
stowage nets.
R Close the lockable stowage spaces before
startingaj ourney.
R Always stow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objectsin

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If windscreen washer concentrate comes into contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trated oes not come into contact with the filler
neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB
WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid could dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and Win-
terFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying
nozzles could become blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water as the
level sensor may be triggered erroneously.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 371).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB SummerFit.
Mix 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correc tmixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
