currently selected values will be used for
the next charging process.
R removed from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the next charging process. You may then need
to reset the values of the maximum charge current.
i If the vehicle requires more time than
usual when charging, check the maximum
charge current settings using the controls
on the charging cable or in the on-board
computer's menu.

code (VVC) issued by the Mercedes-Benz
Center after purchase. With this new
code you can set up the access to your
vehicle. This is described in the "Setting
up a personal area" section on the "Vehi-
cle Homepage". There, you may also
deactivate the existing access of the pre- vious owner.
Calling up functions in the "My
Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage" The "Vehicle Homepage" allows you access to
vehicle information and your vehicle's func-
tions using remote query and remote config-
uration.
The following functions can be accessed via
the "Vehicle Homepage":
R request the current condition of charge of
the high-voltage battery
R program the departure time (Y page 310)
R set/activate the "Pre-entry climate control
at departure time" function (REMOTE CLI-
MATE CONTROL), (see the separate
COMAND operating instructions)
Information on additional functions and oper- ating instructions can be found on the "Vehi-
cle Homepage".
Connecting the vehicle to the Internet i
This function is not available in all coun-
tries and requires activated access to the
mbrace emergency call system.
i This function is only available if the vehi-
cle is equipped with a telephone module.
You can use the "Vehicle Homepage" if the
vehicle has a connection to the Internet via
the telephone module. The telephone module uses CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access)
and transmits the necessary data by radio.
The vehicle automatically recognizes whether a connection to the Internet via the telephone
module is possible or not. No presets are
necessary. i
Restrictions in reception are possible if
the vehicle is in an underground car park,
for example. Restrictions may also occur in areas with poor mobile network coverage.
To enable the transfer of data via the tele-
phone module, you do not need a SIM card. Parking
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust
gas flow. There is a risk of fire.
Park the vehicle so that no flammable mate-
rials come into contact with parts of the vehi-cle which are hot. Take particular care not to
park on dry grassland or harvested grain
fields. G
WARNING
If you leave children unsupervised in the vehi- cle, they could set it in motion by, for example:
R release the parking brake.
R shift the automatic transmission out of the
parking position P.
R start the engine.
In addition, they may operate vehicle equip-
ment and become trapped. There is a risk of
an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
! Always secure the vehicle correctly
against rolling away. Otherwise, the vehicle
or its drivetrain could be damaged.
To ensure that the vehicle is secured against rolling away unintentionally:
R the electric parking brake must be applied.
R the transmission must be in position Pand
the SmartKey must be removed from the
ignition lock. 220

regular intervals and in accordance with the
Mercedes-Benz service requirements. Details
can be found in the Maintenance Booklet. ECO display
The ECO display provides feedback on how
economical your driving characteristics are.
The ECO display assists you in achieving the
most economical driving style for the selec-
ted settings and prevailing conditions. Your
driving style can significantly influence the
vehicle's consumption.
The ECO display consists of three bars:
R Acceleration
Acceleration
R Constant Constant
R Coasting
Coasting
The percent value is the average value of the three bars. The three bars and the mean value
begin at the value of 50%. A higher percent-
age indicates a more economical driving
style.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual fuel consumption. A fixed percentage count
in the ECO display does not indicate a fixed
consumption.
Apart from driving style, consumption is
dependent on many factors such as, e.g.:
R load
R tire pressure
R cold start
R choice of route
R electrical consumers switched on These factors are not included in the ECO dis-
play.
The evaluation of your driving style is carried
out using the following three categories:
R Acceleration
Acceleration (evaluation of all accelera-
tion processes):
- The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
- The bar empties: sporty acceleration
R Constant
Constant (assessment of driving behavior
at all times):
- The bar fills up: constant speed and
avoidance of unnecessary acceleration
and deceleration
- The bar empties: fluctuations in speed
R Coasting Coasting (assessment of all deceleration
processes):
- The bar fills up: anticipatory driving,
keeping your distance and early release
of the accelerator. The vehicle can coast
without use of the brakes.
- The bar empties: frequent braking
An economical driving style specially requires driving at moderate engine speeds.
To achieve a higher value in the categories
Acceleration
Acceleration andConstant Constant :
R observe the gearshift recommendations.
R drive in drive program E.
On long journeys at a constant speed, e.g. on
the highway, only the bar for Constant
Constantwill
change.
The ECO display summarizes the driving char- acteristics from the start of the journey to its completion. For this reason, the bars change
dynamically at the beginning of the journey.
On longer journeys, there are fewer changes. For more dynamic changes, carry out a man- ual reset.

recognize them at all. The system is not a
substitute for a well-rested and attentive
driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or
not occur at all:
R if the length of the journey is less than
approximately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the sur-
face is uneven or if there are potholes
R if there is a strong side wind
R if you have adopted a sporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
R if you are predominantly driving slower
than 37 mph (60 km/h) or faster than
125 mph (200 km/h)
R if you are driving with the active Steer
Assist of DISTRONIC PLUS
R if the time has been set incorrectly
R in active driving situations, such as when
you change lanes or change your speed
ATTENTION ASSIST is reset when you con-
tinue your journey and starts assessing your
tiredness again if:
R you switch off the engine.
R you take off your seat belt and open the
driver's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or
to take a break.
Displaying the attention level You can have current status information dis-
played in the assistance menu (Y page 308)
of the on-board computer. X
Select the Assistance display for Attention
Assist using the on-board computer
(Y page 307).
The following information is displayed: R length of the journey since the last break.
R the attention level determined by ATTEN-
TION ASSIST, displayed in a bar display in
five levels from high to low.
R if ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate
the attention level and cannot output a
warning, the System Passive
System Passive message
appears. The bar display then changes the
display, e.g. if you are driving at a speed
below 37 mph (60 km/h) or above 124 mph
(200 km/h).
Activating ATTENTION ASSIST X
Activate ATTENTION ASSIST using the on-
board computer (Y page 310).
The system determines the attention level
of the driver depending on the setting
selected:
Standard selected: the sensitivity with
which the system determines the attention
level is set to normal.
Sensitive selected: the sensitivity is set
higher. The attention level detected by Atten- tion Assist is adapted accordingly and the
driver is warned earlier.
When ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the é symbol appears in the multifunction
display in the assistance graphic display.
When ATTENTION ASSIST has been deactiva- ted, it is automatically reactivated after the
engine has been stopped. The sensitivity
selected corresponds to the last selection
activated (standard/sensitive).
Warning in the multifunction display If fatigue or increasing lapses in concentra-
tion are detected, a warning appears in the
multifunction display:

after the power demanded by the driver
exceeds the available power that the electric motor can currently provide.
Noiseless start operation is dependent on the
outside temperature and the operating tem-
perature of the internal combustion engine. If
not all conditions for noiseless start operation are fulfilled, the vehicle starts with the inter-
nal combustion engine. X
