Heat generated by the charging cable
and charging cable connector Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y
page 182).
During the charging process, the charging cable
and charging cable connector may heat up.
The charging cable and the charging cable con- nector will only heat up within the permissible
limiting values, provided that:
R the mains power supply and the charging
cable are not damaged
R the instructions for handling the charging
cable and controls on the charging cable are
observed
If the charging cable or charging cable connec-
tor become too hot, have the mains power sup- ply checked.
Protection against overvoltage !
Voltage surges in the mains supply can dam-
age the vehicle. The vehicle is therefore
equipped with a device which protects it from
voltage surges in the mains supply. This
device may be triggered during severe thun-
derstorms, for example, and may lead to the
building's fuse being tripped and an interrup-
tion in the power supply. These functions pro-
tect the vehicle. After the building fuse is
switched on again, the charging process
resumes automatically. Following an interrup-
tion in the power supply or tripping of the
building's fuse, it may take up to 10 minutes
for charging to resume automatically.
Reset the building's circuit breaker. Otherwise,
the charging process cannot be continued.
General information on the charging
process Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 182).
The vehicle socket is located in the rear bumper on the right below the tail lamp.
The charge socket flap and the vehicle are cen-
trally locked or unlocked simultaneously. Charging the high-voltage battery via
the mains socket
Charging cable for mains sockets Important safety notes
! Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charging cable for other purposes. It may otherwise be damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a country-specific
charging cable, variant 1 or variant 2, for con-
nection to a mains socket. The controls of the
two charging cable variants are different. Only
use the charging cable supplied with the vehicle
or a charging cable approved for the vehicle.
i The charging process can vary depending on
the mains power supply. Therefore, always
observe the local information.
i For short charge times (charging with 16
A),
connect the fast-charging cable to a wallbox
or charging station without a preinstalled
cable. You can also use the optionally availa-
ble charging cable with the CE plug.
Information about charging from a wallbox
(Y page 188).
Information about charging from a charging sta-
tion (Y page 189).
Stowing the charging cable The charging cable can be stowed and secured
in the bag provided in the luggage compartment
of the vehicle.

Information for 4MATIC vehicles
! Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with the front or rear axle raised; otherwise,
the transmission may be damaged.
Vehicles with 4MATIC may either be towed away
with both axles on the ground or be loaded up
and transported.
If the vehicle has transmission damage or dam- age to the front or rear axle, have it transportedon a transporter or trailer.
In the event of damage to the electrical sys-
tem: if the battery is defective, the automatic
transmission will be locked in position P. To shift
the automatic transmission to position N, you
must provide power to the vehicle's on-board
electrical system in the same way as when jump- starting (Y page 397).
Have the vehicle transported on a transporter or trailer. Tow-starting (emergency engine
starting)
! Do not tow-start vehicles with automatic
transmission. You could otherwise damage
the automatic transmission.
You can find information on "Jump-starting"
under (Y page 397). Electrical fuses
Important safety notes

WARNING
If you manipulate, bridge or replace a faulty
fuse with a fuse of a higher amperage, the
electric cables could be overloaded. This may result in a fire. There is a risk of an accident
and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with specified new fuses of the correct amperage.
! Only use fuses marked with an "S" for the
fuse box in the engine compartment and
under the rear bench seat. Components or
systems could otherwise be damaged. The fuses in your vehicle disconnect faulty cir-
cuits. If a fuse blows, all the components on the
circuit and their functions will fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of the same rating, which you can recognise by the
colour and fuse rating. The fuse ratings are listed
in the fuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is located in the fuse
box under the rear bench seat (Y page 403).
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Before replacing a fuse
