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

If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or necessary repairs car-
ried out, this could result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is arisk of an accident.
Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nance work as well as necessary repairs car-
ried out at aqualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system. There is arisk
of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In

WARNING
Modifications to electroni ccomponents, their
software as wellasw iring couldaffect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This coul dinparticular
alsobet he case for systems relevant to
safety .They might not function properly any-
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury.
Do not attempt to modify the wiring as wellas
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrica land electronic

! There is
arisk of damage to the vehicl eif:
R the vehicl ebecome sstuck, e.g. on ahigh
kerb or an unpaved road
R you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a
kerb or apothol einthe road
R ah eavy object strikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body ,the under-
body ,chassi sparts, wheels or tyres coul dbe
damaged without the damage being visible.
Components damaged in this way can unex-
pectedl yfail or, in the case of an accident, no
longer withstand the strain they are designed
for.
If the underbody panelling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody panelling. If these materials
come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust system, they can catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicl echecked
and repaired immediatel yataqualified spe-
cialist workshop. If, uponc ontinuing your
journey ,you notice that driving safety is
impaired ,pullo ver and stop the vehicl eimme-
diately ,paying attention to road and traffic
conditions. In such cases, consult aqualified
specialist workshop. Declarations of conformity

Driving safety systems overview
In this section,y ou will find information about
the following driving safety systems:
R ABS (Anti-lock BrakingSystem)
(Y page 66)
R BAS ( Brake Assist System) (Y page 67)
R BAS PLUS with Cross-Traffic Assist ( Brake

R PRE-SAFE ®
Brake (Y page 75)
R STEERC ONTROL (Y page 77) Important safety notes
If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you are
inattentive, the driving safety systems can nei-
ther reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. Driving safety systems are
merely aids designed to assist driving. You are
responsible for maintaining the distance to the
vehicle in front,f or vehicle speed, for braking in
good time, and for staying in lane. Always adapt your driving style to suit the prevailing road and
weather condition sand maintain asafe distance
from the vehicle in front.D rive carefully.
The driving safety systems described only work
as effectively as possible when there is ade-
quate contact between the tyres and the road
surface. Pay particular attention to the informa- tion regarding tyres, recommended minimum
tyre tread depths etc. in the "Wheels and tyres" section (Y page 353).
In wintry driving conditions, always use winter
tyres (M+S tyres) and, if necessary, snow
chains. Only in this way will the driving safety
systems described in this section work as effec-
tively as possible. ABS (Anti-loc
kBraking System)
General notes ABS regulates brake pressure in such
away that
the wheels do not lock when you brake. This
allowsy ou to continue steering the vehicle when
braking.
The ! ABS warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the ignition is switched
on. It goes out when the engine is running.
ABS works from aspeed of about 8km/h,
regardless of road-surface conditions. ABS
works on slippery surfaces, even when you only brake gently.
Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 66). G
WARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking. The steerability and braking charac-
teristic smay be severely impaired. Addition-
ally,f urther driving safety systems are deac- 66

position Dor R,t he vehicle may accelerate
suddenly. There is arisk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position Dor R,
always keep the brake pedal firmly depressed
and do not depress the accelerator pedal at
the same time.
