Important safety notes G
WARNING
When a load is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt your driving style. You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical Data" section
(Y
page 379).
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
only roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such a way that the vehicle will not sustain damage
even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, ensure
that when the roof carrier is fitted you can:
R raise the sliding sunroof fully
R open the tailgate completely
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Attaching the roof carrier X
Carefully open covers :in the direction of
the arrow and fold upwards.
X Secure the roof carrier only to the anchorage
points under covers :.
X Observe the manufacturer's installation
instructions. Features

There is a risk of fire and injury.
Always hold the cigarette lighter by the knob.
Always make sure that the cigarette lighter is
out of reach of children. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle.
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions. Use the cigarette lighter only when road and traffic conditions permit. Cigarette lighter (example)

General notes X
Turn the key to position 1in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
The sockets can be used for accessories with a
maximum draw of 180 W (15 A). Accessories
include such items as mobile phone chargers.
If you use the sockets for long periods when the engine is switched off, the battery may dis-
charge.
An emergency cut-off ensures that the on-board
voltage does not drop too low. If the on-board
voltage is too low, the power to the sockets is
automatically cut. This ensures that there is suf- ficient power to start the engine.
If you have connected a device to the 12 V
power socket, leave the cover of the stowage
compartment open. This prevents the cover
from being blocked. 318

WARNING
Operating mobile communications equip-
ment while driving distracts you from paying
attention to traffic conditions. This could also 322
FeaturesStowing and features

cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a risk of an accident.
Use this device only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving whenoperating mobile communications equipment in
the vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communica-
tions equipment while the vehicle is in motion,
you may do so only if the traffic situation per-
mits. You may otherwise be distracted from the traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in the
vehicle
R that mutual interference between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones is minimised
An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an exterior aerial
Information on retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters) (Y page 371).
General notes Depending on the vehicle equipment, there are
various mobile phone brackets that may be fit-
ted in your vehicle; in some cases, these are
country-specific.
More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting Blue-
tooth ®
-capable mobile phones with the multi-
media system can be obtained:
R at a qualified specialist workshop
R on the internet at http://www.mercedes-
benz.com/connect The functions and services available when you
use the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone To connect a mobile phone to the exterior aerial
and charge it, insert it into the mobile phone
bracket.
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 307).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-
installed fitting; see the separate installation
instructions for the mobile phone fitting.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile phone
bracket; see the separate installation instruc-
tions for the mobile phone fitting.
i The mobile phone can also be operated
without being in the bracket. However, the
charging function and aerial function are not
available.
In order to use Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) on your
telephone module, you must first insert the tele-
phone module into the pre-installed fitting. This connects it to the exterior aerial. If you wish to
charge the mobile phone, you must connect it to
a USB port.
Further information on the telephone module
with Bluetooth ®
(SAP profile) can be found in the
Digital Owner's Manual.
Operating the mobile phone You can operate the phone using the
6and
~ buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel. You can operate other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 238).
When you remove the key from the ignition lock, the mobile phone is disconnected from the vehi-cle. You can then no longer make calls using the
hands-free system.
If a call is active and you remove the key from
the ignition lock, the conversation is transferred
over to the mobile phone. It is then possible to
continue the conversation on the mobile phone. Features
