If yo u lea vechildren unat tended in theve hi‐
cle, they may be able toset theve hicle in
motion, forex ample by:
R Releasing the parking brake.
R Shifting the automatic transmission out
of park position jor shifting the manual
transmission into neutral.
R Starting the engine. In addition,
they may operate vehicle equip‐
ment. #
Never lea vechildren and animals unat‐
te nded in theve hicle. #
When leaving theve hicle, alw aysta ke
th eke y with you and lock theve hicle.
This also applies tomobile phones if the
"Digital Car Key in the smartphone"
function is activated via the Mercedes

ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐

and do not relie ve you of your responsibility. Pay
attention tothe tra ffic conditions at all times
and inter vene when necessa ry. Be aware of the
limitations rega rding the safe use of these sys‐

fety sy stems use
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area in front of,
behind or next totheve hicle (depending on the
ve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind thera diator grille. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush . The sensors

nctions of ABS (anti-lock braking sy stem) ABS
regulates the brake pressure in critical driv‐
ing situations:
R During braking, the wheels are pr evented
from blocking, e.g. due tomaximum full-s top
braking or insuf ficient traction of the tyres.
R Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.
R ABS is active from speeds of appr ox.
8 km/h.
If ABS inter venes when braking, you will feel a
pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake
pedal can be an indication of hazardous road
conditions and can ser veas a reminder totake
ex tra care while driving.

Driving and pa rking

Yo
u can limit the speed as follo ws:
R Variable: for speed limits, e.g. in built-up
areas.
R Perm anen t:for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving wi thwinter tyres fitted.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, the limiter
can neither reduce therisk of an accident nor
ove rride the la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into
account road, weather or traf fic conditions. The
limiter is only an aid. You are responsible forthe
dis tance totheve hicle in front, forve hicle
speed, for braking in good time and forst ay ing
in lane.
Yo u can operate theva riable limiter with the
cruise control le ver.Yo u can store any road
speed abo ve20 km/h. You can also per form
settings while theve hicle is stationary if the
ve hicle has been star ted.
Kickdown
If yo u depress the accelerator pedal be yond the
pressure point (kickdown), the limiter is
switched topassive mode. The Limiter passive
message appears in the multifunction displa y.Af
ter completion of kickdown, theva riable lim‐
iter is activated again in thefo llowing situations:
R ifth e driven speed drops below thestored
speed.
R ifth estored speed is called up.
R ifyo ustore a new speed.
Operating cruise control or theva riable lim‐
iter &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
unknown stored speed
If yo u call up thestored speed and this is
lo we rth an your cur rent speed, theve hicle
decelerates.
If yo u do not kn owthestored speed, the
ve hicle could decelerate unexpectedly. #
Take into account the tra ffic situation
before calling up thestored speed. #
Ifth estored speed is not known, store
th e desired speed again. Change into a lo
werge ar in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients. Take particular no
te ofthis when driving a laden vehicle. By
doing so, you will make use of the braking ef fect
of the engine. This relie vesth e load on the brake
sy stem and pr events the brakes from overheat‐
ing and wearing tooqu ickl y.
