Do not install accessories such as audios ys-
tems in these areas. Do not carry out repairs
or welding. You could impair the operating
efficiency of the restraint systems.
Have accessories retrofitted at aqualified
specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well as accessories relevant to safety which
have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz.T his
could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant
systems, e.g. the brake system. Only use genu-
ine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of equalq ual-
ity. Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that
have been specifically approved for your vehi-
cle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and conver-
sion parts and accessories that have been spe-
cifically approved for your vehicle for their reli-
ability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing
market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to
assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been officially approved or independently
approved by atesting centre.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if they
comply with legal requirements. This also
applies to some other countries. All genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval
requirements. The use of non-approved parts
may invalidate the vehicle's general operating
permit.
This is the case:
R if they cause achange of the vehicle type from
that for which the vehicle's general operating permit was granted
R if other road users could be endangered
R if the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) (Y page 370) when ordering genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts. Owner's Manual
Vehicle equipment
i This Owner's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipment
available for your vehicle at the time of pub-
lication of the Owner's Manual.C ountry-spe-
cific differences are possible.N ote that your
vehicle may not be fitted with all features
described. This is also the case for systems
and functions relevant to safety. Therefore,
the equipment on your vehicle may differ from

The original purchase contract documentation
for your vehicle contains alist of all of the sys-
tems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

If there is no vehicle in front, DISTRONIC PLUS
operates in the same way as cruise control.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects that the vehicle in
front has slowed down, it brakes yourv ehicle.In
this way,t he distance you have selected is main-
tained.
If DISTRONIC PLUS detects afaster-moving
vehicle in front, it increases the driving speed.
However, the vehicle is only accelerated up to
the speed you have stored.
Selecting the drive program DISTRONIC PLUS supports asporty driving style
when you have selected the Sor S+ drive pro-
gram (Y page 161). Acceleration behind the
vehicle in front or to the set speed is then notice- ablym ore dynamic. If you have selected the Cor
E drive program, the vehicle accelerates more
gently. This setting is recommended in stop-
start traffic.
Changing lanes
If you change to the overtaking lane, DISTRONIC
PLUS supports you if:
R you are driving faster than 70 km/h
R you switch on the respective turn signal
R DISTRONIC PLUS does not detect adanger of
collision
If these conditions are met, yourv ehicle is accel-
erated. Acceleration willbei nterrupted if chang-
ing lanes takes too long or if the distance
betwee nyourv ehicle and the vehicle in front
becomes too small.
i Vehicles with COMAND Online:
when you
change lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS monitors the right lane in the case of left-side traffic or the
left lane in the case of right-side traffic.
Vehicles with Audio 20: when you change
lanes, DISTRONIC PLUS monitors the left lane
on left-hand-drive vehicle sorthe right lane on
right-hand-drive vehicles. Road and traffic conditions i
The following function is only available in
vehicle swith the Driving Assistance Plus
package.
The function is not operational in all coun-
tries.
DISTRONIC PLUS uses additional information
from yourn avigation system so that it can adapt
to certain traffic situations. This is the case if,
whilef ollowing avehicle,D ISTRONIC PLUS is
active and you:
R approach or drive around aroundabout
R approach aT-junction
R turn off at amotorway exit
R approach atollgate
Even if the vehicle in front leaves the detection
range, DISTRONIC PLUS temporaril ymaintains
the current driving speed and does not acceler- ate. This is basedont he current map data in the
navigation system.
Afterwards, the vehicle accelerates back to the
speed you set.
The system takes into account the fact that
overtaking on the right is not permitted on
motorway sorhigh-speed major roads at speeds
above 80 km/h. The driving speed is adjusted to the speed of the queueofv ehiclesinthe adja-
cent lane to the left.
i Prevention of overtaking on the right applies
to countries where traffic drives on the right.
In countries where traffic drives on the left,
overtaking on the left is prevented accord-
ingly. Driving systems
