Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz
Before you first drive off, read this Owner's Man- ual carefully and familiarise yourself with your
vehicle. For your own safety and a longer vehicle
life, follow the instructions and warning notices in this manual. Disregarding them may lead to
damage to the vehicle or personal injury.
The equipment or model designation of your
vehicle may vary according to:
R model
R order
R country variant
R availability
The illustrations in this manual show a left-hand-
drive vehicle. On right-hand-drive vehicles, the
layout of components and controls differs
accordingly.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its vehi-
cles to the state of the art.
Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right to
introduce changes in the following areas:
R design
R equipment
R technical features
The equipment in your vehicle may therefore
differ from that shown in the descriptions and
illustrations.
The following are integral components of the
vehicle:
R Digital Owner's Manual
R Printed Owner's Manual
R Service Booklet
R Equipment-dependent Supplements
Keep these documents in the vehicle at all
times. If you sell the vehicle, always pass all of
the documents on to the new owner.
Your Owner's Manuals: Digital - in the vehicle
The Digital Owner's Manual provides com-
prehensive and specifically adapted infor-
mation on the equipment in your vehicle
and your multimedia system. You will find
informative animations, individual lan-
guage selection options and an intuitive
search function. Printed manual - in the vehicle
In addition to the vehicle Owner's Manual,
the full multimedia system Supplement is also available from your Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Digital - on the Internet
The online version of the Owner's Manual
provides convenient access to compre-
hensive information on your vehicle and
your multimedia system. It also provides
helpful animations, interesting back-
ground information and various search
options.
Digital - as an App
You can access comprehensive informa-
tion on your vehicle and your multimedia
system online on the go or download it,
even while offline. Available for smart-
phones or tablets.
Please note that the Mercedes-Benz Guides App
may not yet be available in your country.
