Important safety notes
GWARNING
If persons, particularly children are subjected to prolonged exposure to extreme heat or
cold, there is a risk of injury, possibly even
fatal. Never leave children unattended in the
vehicle.
General notes
Using the "Pre-entry climate control at depar-
ture time" function, you can cool or heat the
vehicle interior prior to the desired departure
time.
When using the "Pre-entry climate control at
departure time" function, the condition of
charge of the high-voltage battery must be
higher than the specified minimum condition
of charge.
The running time of the climate control may
be reduced if:
Rthe vehicle is not connected to an electric
power supply
Rthe high-voltage battery is not fully charged
With active "Pre-entry climate control at
departure time" the condition of charge of the
high-voltage battery can be reduced, even if
the charge cable connector is connected.
In certain situations, the desired interior tem-
perature cannot be reached.
When the vehicle is cooled, the following
functions are activated as necessary:
RClimate control system
RCooling with air dehumidification
RBlower
When the vehicle is heated, the following
functions are activated as necessary:
RClimate control system
RBlower
RSeat heating
RWindshield heating
RRear window defroster
"Immediate pre-entry climate control" is auto-
matically switched off when operational read- iness mode is requested.
Setting the departure time
You can set a departure time for the "Pre-
entry climate control at departure time". Your
vehicle will then be cooled or heated until the
desired temperature is reached in time for the
set departure time. "Pre-entry climate control
at departure time" will be activated a maxi-
mum of 35 minutes before departure. If the
departure is delayed, the vehicle will be
heated or cooled for a further five minutes.
You can set the desired departure time in the
E-CELL
submenu on the on-board computer
(
Ypage 195).
Activating immediate pre-entry climate
control
You can activate "Immediate pre-entry cli-
mate control" even if the vehicle interior is
already at the desired temperature. This
means that the vehicle interior continues to
be cooled or heated, e.g. if the journey is
interrupted for up to 50 minutes, and the inte-
rior temperature is kept constant. You can
only set the desired temperature using the
climate control unit. If you do not pre-select a
temperature, the last temperature set will be
automatically adopted.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air
vents. This could result in burns or frostbite in
the immediate vicinity of the air vents. There
is a risk of injury.
Make sure that all vehicle occupants always
maintain a sufficient distance to the air out-
lets. If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
In order to ensure the direct flow of fresh air
through the air vents into the vehicle interior,
please observe the following notes:
Rkeep the air inlet between the windshield
and the hood free of blockages, such as ice, snow or leaves.
Rnever cover the air vents or air intake grillesin the vehicle interior.

The high-voltage battery can be charged as
follows:
Rthrough energy recuperation while the
vehicle is in motion
Rwith the charging cable at a mains socket
while the vehicle is stationary
Rwith the charging cable at a charging sta-
tion while the vehicle is stationary
The high-voltage battery can be charged
using a single-phase charging cable in a volt-
age range from 100 V to 240 V.
If the condition of charge drops to less than
13%, the high-voltage battery reserve indica-
tor lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
Charge the high-voltage battery as soon as
possible.
Below a condition of charge of 5%, the per-
formance of the vehicle is reduced. The vehi-
cle's high-voltage electrical system switches
off at a condition of charge of 0%.
Use of the pre-entry climate control function
may mean that the high-voltage battery is not
fully charged.
High and low outside temperatures
Low outside temperatures
The efficiency of the high-voltage battery is
significantly reduced at very low outside tem-
peratures. The high-voltage battery is then no longer able to provide the normal electrical
power output.
High outside temperatures
To prevent damage to the high-voltage bat-
tery due to very high outside temperatures,
the maximum power output of the high-volt-
age battery is reduced automatically.
The E-CELL display indicates the maximum
amount of power available (
Ypage 183).
Notes on battery care
Avoid storing or transporting the vehicle in
high temperatures over a long period (e.g.
container transport). If you park the vehicle and leave it stationary
for longer periods, connect it to a power sup-
ply.
Temperatures below
Ò13‡(Ò25 †) and over
104 ‡ (40 †), which affect the vehicle for a
period of more than seven days, can cause
irreversible damage.
Discharged battery
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
switches off if the high-voltage battery is com-
pletely discharged. 30 seconds prior to this,
you are informed of the switch-off by the
Battery level too low. Stop and
charge immediatelymessage. This pro-
tects the battery from exhaustive discharge.
It is not possible to restart the drive system
until after charging.
Do not leave the vehicle parked for longer
than 14 days with a high-voltage battery con- dition of charge below 20%.
You can check the condition of charge in the
charge level display (
Ypage 184).
Further information on the "Energy flow dis-
play" can be found in the "Trip" menu
(
Ypage 187).
Energy consumption and range
This range is reduced by:
Rhigh and low outside temperatures
Ra non-anticipatory driving style
Rswitching on consumers, e.g. air-condition-
ing system or heating.
The battery's physical characteristics are
such that leaving the vehicle parked for an
extended period at low outdoor temperatures
without charging it can lead to:
Ra reduction in battery performance
Rlonger charge times
In extreme cases, this could mean that the
vehicle cannot be started. For this reason,
connect the charging cable when leaving the
vehicle parked for long periods at low outdoor
temperatures.

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.
