Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified
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. This could lead to malfunctions in safety-rel-
evant systems, e.g. the brake system. Only
use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of
equal quality. Only use tyres, wheels and
accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and con-
version parts and accessories that have been specifically approved for your vehicle for their
reliability, 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 a testing 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 gen-
uine 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 a change 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 num-
ber (VIN) (Y page 404) when ordering genu-
ine Mercedes-Benz parts. Owner's Manual
Vehicle equipment
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. Country-spe- cific differences are possible. Note 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
that in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documenta-
tion for your vehicle contains a list of all of the
systems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are important documents and should kept in the

Introduction

Always observe the information on suitable
positioning of the child restraint system
(Y page 65) in addition to the child restraint
system manufacturer's installation and oper- ating instructions. Suitable positioning of the child
restraint system
Introduction Only child restraint systems which are
approved in accordance with the ECE stand-
ard ECE R44 are permitted for use in the vehi-
cle.
For certain child restraint systems in weight
categories II or III, this can mean that the area of use is restricted. The maximum size setting
of the child restraint system is not possible
due to possible contact with the roof.
"Universal" category child restraint systems
can be recognised by their orange approval
label and the text "Universal". Example: approval label on the child restraint
system
"Universal" category child restraint systems
can be used on the seats indicated with U, UF
or IUF according to the tables "Suitability of
the seats for attaching belt-secured child
restraint systems" or "Suitability of the seats
for attaching an ISOFIX child restraint sys-
tem".
Semi-universal child restraint systems are
indicated by the text "semi-universal" on the
approval label. These can be used if the vehi- cle and the seat are listed in the child restraint
system manufacturer's vehicle model list. For
more information, contact the child restraint
system manufacturer or visit their website.
If it is absolutely necessary to fit a child
restraint system to the front-passenger seat:
X Always pay attention to the instructions
under "Child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat" (Y page 63).
There you will find instructions on how to
correctly route the shoulder belt strap from the vehicle seat-belt extender or belt outlet
to the shoulder belt guide on the child
restraint system (Y page 64).
X Move the front-passenger seat as far back
as possible and fully retract the seat cush-
ion length.
If you secure a child in a forward-facing
child restraint system on the front-
passenger seat, also move the front-
passenger seat to the lowest position.
X Move the backrest to an almost vertical
position.
The entire base of the child restraint sys-
tem must always rest on the seat cushion of
the front-passenger seat. The backrest of
the forward-facing child restraint system
must, as far as possible, be resting on the
backrest of the front-passenger seat. The
child restraint system must not touch the
roof or be put under strain by the head
restraint. Adjust the angle of the seat back- rest and the head restraint position accord-
ingly. Also observe the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer's installation instruc-
tions.
X Move the seat cushion angle to the highest,
most vertical position. Children in the vehicle

Suitability of the seats for attaching belt-secured child restraint systems
If you use a baby car seat of category 0 or 0+ or a rearward-facing child restraint system of
category I on a rear seat, you must adjust the driver's or front-passenger seat so that the seat
does not touch the child restraint system.
Always observe the notes in the "Child restraint system" section (Y page 61) and the child
restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 26). Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations. Driving abroad
Symmetrical dipped-beam headlamps 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
registered, your headlamps must be switched
to symmetrical dipped beam. This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Sym-
metrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway.
Convert the headlamps as close to the border as possible before driving in these countries
(Y page 263).
Asymmetrical dipped-beam headlamps Convert the headlamps back to asymmetrical
dipped beam as soon as possible after cross-
ing the border (Y page 263).
If the headlamps are converted to symmetri-
cal dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and "extended range foglamps" functions (Intelli-
gent Light System) are not available. Setting the exterior lighting
Setting options Exterior lighting can be set by:
R using the light switch

X To switch off the hazard warning lamps:
press button :.
The hazard warning lamps switch on auto-
matically if:
R an airbag is deployed or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a
speed of above 70 km/h and comes to a
standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off auto-
matically if the vehicle reaches a speed of
above 10 km/ha gain after a full brake appli-
cation.
The hazard warning lamps continue to oper-
ate even if the ignition is switched off. Intelligent Light System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is a system that
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions.
It offers advanced functions for improved illu-
mination of the road surface, e.g. depending
on the vehicle speed or weather conditions.
The system includes the active light function, cornering light function, motorway mode and
extended range foglamps. The system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board
computer (Y page 262). Active light function The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
you are driving. This allows you to recognise
pedestrians, cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights are switched on
Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the
steering wheel
R if you are driving at speeds between
40 km/ha nd 70 km/h and turn the steer-
ing wheel Exterior lighting
