is done by respective coloring of the blue

charge current. If necessary, lower the set
charge current or use another power
socket.
You can set a limit for the values of the charge
current used in charging the high-voltage bat-
tery. This acts as a means of preventing the
power supply from overloading. You can set
this limit by using the controls on the charging
cable or in the on-board computer's menu.
Only set the maximum charge current in the
on-board computer menu if there are no
charge current settings on the charging
cable.
The default standard value is the minimum
charge current setting. This corresponds to
the minimum available charge current from
the power supply.
iThe value of the maximum setting and the
relevant adjustment values may vary
depending on the country.
Before charging the high-voltage battery,
have the maximum permissible charge cur-
rent for the relevant power socket checked by
an electrician.
XTo adjust the setting: press button?
repeatedly until the desired setting is selec-
ted in display =.
RTwo LEDs are flashing: minimum setting
RAll LEDs are flashing: maximum setting
Information about the charging time
(
Ypage 338)
If, after the charging process, the charging
cable is:
Rleft connected to the power socket, the
currently selected values will be used for
the next charging process.
Rremoved 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.
If the charge current values that have been
set on the charging cable and the on-board computer are different, the high-voltage bat-
tery is charged using the lower value.
If the vehicle requires more time than usual to
charge the high-voltage battery, check:
Rthe settings of the maximum charge cur-
rent on the controls of the charging cable

rent in the menu of the on-board computer

Calling up functions in the "My
Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage"
The "My Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Home-
page" allows you access to information about
your vehicle and its functions using remote
query and remote configuration. For example,
climate control can be activated using remote
configuration which means that it need not be
set in the vehicle. Power for the climate con-
trol is primarily supplied via the charging
cable connected to the mains supply. In this
way, the range of the vehicle in most cases is
not reduced. If climate control is activated,
the battery charge level and thus the range
may be reduced. The "Vehicle Homepage"
provides you with information all about how
to use your vehicle.
If the vehicle is entered in your personal area
of the "Vehicle Homepage", you can also
access the following functions:
Rrequest the current condition of charge of
the high-voltage battery
Rprogram the departure time (Ypage 195)
Rorder and activate the "Pre-entry climate
control at departure time" function
If the vehicle is charging, the predicted charg-
ing time and the predicted range will also be
shown.
This data is estimated and may be influenced
by the following factors:
Routside temperature
Rswitched on consumers, e.g. climate con-
trol and seat heating
Rpersonal driving style
Rroad and traffic conditions
Rroute characteristics
Therefore, allow for a sufficient reserve.
iInformation on additional functions and
operating instructions can be found on the "Vehicle Homepage".
Connecting the vehicle to the Internet
Via a radio module
This function is not available in all countries
and requires an activated mbrace access.
You can use the "Vehicle Homepage" if the
vehicle has a connection to the Internet via a
mobile phone. The radio module uses a
mobile phone connection and transmits the
necessary data by radio. The vehicle auto-
matically recognizes whether a connection to
the Internet via the radio module is possible
or not. No presets are necessary.
To enable the transfer of data via the mobile
communications module, you do not need a
SIM card.
iRestrictions 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.
Parking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you release the parking brake on uphill or
downhill gradients, the vehicle can begin to
move when in park position P. There is a risk
of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
Rprevent the parked vehicle from rolling on
uphill or downhill gradients by always
applying the parking brake.
Rdo not park the vehicle on uphill or downhill
gradients if the parking brake is malfunc-
tioning.

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.:
Rload
RTire pressure
Rcold start
Rchoice of route
Relectrical 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:
RAcceleration(evaluation of all accelera-
tion processes):
-The bar fills up: moderate acceleration,
especially at higher speeds
-The bar empties: sporty acceleration
RConstant(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
RCoasting(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
To achieve a higher value in the categories
Acceleration
and Constant, drive the vehi-
cle in drive program E+orE.
On long journeys at a constant speed, e.g. on
the highway, only the bar for Constant
will
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.
For further information on the ECO display,
see (
Ypage 187).
Braking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you increase the recuperation level on slip-
pery road surfaces, the drive wheels may lose
their traction. There is an increased danger of
skidding and accidents.
Do not increase the recuperation level on slip-
pery road surfaces.
The braking performance of the electric
motor using recuperative braking is, in some
operating modes, either reduced or not effec- tive:
Rwhen the condition of charge of the high-
voltage battery increases
Rif the high-voltage battery is not yet at a
normal operating temperature
Rwhen driving close to the maximum speed
Rwhen the vehicle is almost stationary
Rin transmission position N
Rduring and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to
apply the brake yourself, the braking effect
may not be sufficient. If necessary, counter-
act the reduced regenerative braking effect
by applying the brake yourself.
Downhill gradients
On long, steep gradients, you must reduce the
load on the brakes by selecting maximum
recuperation. This helps you to avoid over-
heating the brakes and wearing them out
excessively.
Recuperation allows the vehicle to be decel-
erated without placing a load on the braking
system.

ATTENTION ASSIST
General notes
ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys, such as on highways.
It is active in the 37 mph (60 km/h) to
125 mph (200 km/h) range. If ATTEN-
TION ASSIST detects typical indicators of fati-
gue or increasing lapses in concentration on
the part of the driver, it suggests taking a
break.
Important safety notes
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the
driver. It might not always recognize fatigue
or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to 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:
Rif the length of the journey is less than
approximately 30 minutes
Rif the road condition is poor, e.g. if the sur-
face is uneven or if there are potholes
Rif there is a strong side wind
Rif you have adopted a sporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or high rates of
acceleration
Rif you are predominantly driving slower
than 37 mph (60 km/h) or faster than
125 mph (200 km/h)
Rif the time has been set incorrectly
Rin 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:
Ryou switch off the engine
Ryou take off your seat belt and open the
driver's door, e.g. for a change of drivers or
to take a break
