Problems with the steering wheel heating
Problem
Possible causes/consequences and
M
MSolutions The steering wheel heat-
ing has switched itself
off prematurely or can-
not be switched on. The on-board voltage is too low because too many electrical consum-
ers are switched on.
X Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as the
rear window heating or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, the steering wheel heating
will switch back on automatically. EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature adjusts
the steering wheel, you and other vehicle
occupants – particularly children – could
become trapped. There is a risk of injury.
While the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature is mak-
ing adjustments, make sure that no one has
any body parts in the sweep of the steering
wheel.
Move the steering wheel adjustment lever if
there is a risk of entrapment by the steering
wheel. The adjustment process is stopped.
Vehicles with a memory function: if there is a
risk of becoming trapped by the steering wheel, you can also press one of the memory function
position buttons. The adjustment process is
stopped. G
WARNING
If children activate the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT fea- ture, they can become trapped, particularly
when unattended. There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children unattended in the vehicle. G
WARNING
If you drive off while the EASY-ENTRY/EXIT
feature is making adjustments, you could lose
control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident. Always wait until the adjustment process is
complete before driving off.
The EASY-ENTRY/EXIT feature makes getting in
and out of your vehicle easier.
You can activate and deactivate the EASY-
ENTRY/EXIT feature in the on-board computer

piratory organs or clothing or be swallowed.
There is a risk of injury.
If you come into contact with electrolyte,
observe the following:
R immediately rinse off electrolyte from your
skin with water.
R immediately and thoroughly rinse electro-
lyte out of eyes using clean water.
R if electrolyte is swallowed, immediately
rinse out your mouth thoroughly. Do not
induce vomiting.
R if electrolyte comes into contact with skin
or eyes or is swallowed, seek medical atten-
tion immediately.

Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched on even during the daytime. Therefore, your vehicle
is equipped with special daytime driving lamps.
In some countries, operation of the headlamps
varies due to legal requirements and self-
imposed obligations. Driving abroad
General notes If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to the country in which the vehicle is reg-
istered, your headlamps must be switched to
symmetrical dipped beam as soon as possible
after crossing the border (exception: vehicles
with static LED headlamps). This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Symmetri-
cal lights do not illuminate as large an area of the edge of the carriageway.
Vehicles with static LED headlamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps to
symmetrical dipped beam when driving in coun-
tries where vehicles are driven on the opposite
side of the road to the country in which the vehi- cle is registered. Legal requirements are fulfilled
without switching the headlamps to symmetri-
cal dipped beam.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System X
Before crossing the border, set the head-
lamps to symmetrical dipped beam and after
returning back to asymmetrical dipped beam via the "Dipped-beam headlamps for driving
on the right/left" function in the on-board
computer (Y page 224).
If the headlamps are converted to symmetrical
dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and "exten- ded range foglamps" functions are not available. Setting the exterior lighting

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Bulbs, lamps and plug connectors can
become very hot during use. When replacing a bulb, you could burn yourself on these com-
ponents. There is a risk of injury.
Allow these components to cool down before replacing the bulb.
Vehicles with static LED headlamps:
Do not use a bulb that has been dropped or if its glass tube has been scratched.
The bulb may explode if:
R you touch it
R it is hot
R you drop it
R you scratch it
Only operate bulbs in enclosed lamps designed
for that purpose. Only fit spare bulbs of the same
type and the specified voltage.
Marks on the glass tube reduce the service life
of the bulbs. Do not touch the glass tube with
your bare hands. If necessary, clean the glass
tube when cold with alcohol or spirit and rub it
off with a lint-free cloth.
Protect bulbs from moisture during operation.
Do not allow bulbs to come into contact with
liquids.
Only replace the bulbs listed (Y page 119).
Have the bulbs that you cannot replace yourself
replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.
If you require assistance replacing bulbs, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
If the new bulb still does not light up, consult a
qualified specialist workshop. Headlamps and lights are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times. Have
the headlamp setting checked regularly.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System
The front and rear light clusters of your vehicle
are equipped with LED light bulbs. Do not
replace the bulbs yourself. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop, which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out the
work required.
Lamps are an important aspect of vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure that these func-
tion correctly at all times. Have the headlamp
setting checked regularly. Overview of bulb replacement – bulbs
