Hill start assist
Hill start assist helpsyou when pulling awa yfor-
wards or in reverse on an uphill gradient. Hill
start assist automatically maintains the brake
pressure for about another second, after you
have taken you rfoot off the brake pedal. This
gives you enoug htime to move you rfoot from
the brake pedaltot he accelerator pedala nd
depress it before the vehicleb egins to roll.
GWARNING
After ashort time, hil lstart assist wil lnolon-
ger brake you rvehicl eand it coul droll away.
There is arisk of an accident and injury.
Therefore, quickly move you rfoot from the
brake pedaltot he accelerator pedal. Never

Drive sensibly –save fuel
In order to save fuel, observe the following tips:
XThe tires should alwaysbei nflated to the rec-
ommended tire pressure.
XRemove unnecessary loads.
XRemove roof carriers when they are not nee-
ded.
XWarm up the engine at low engine speeds.
XAvoid frequent acceleration or braking.
XHave all maintenanc ework carried out as
indicated by the servicei ntervals in the Main-
tenance Booklet or by the servicei nterval dis-
play.
Fuel consumption also increases when driving in cold weather, in stop-start traffic and in moun-
tainous terrain.
Overrun cutoff
If you are in overrun mode and take your foot off
the accelerator pedal, the fuel supply is cut off
when the engine speed is out of the idle speed
control range.
Drinking and driving
GWARNING
Drinking and driving and/or takin gdrugs and
driving are very dangerous combinations.
Even asmall amount of alcohol or drugs can
affect your reflexes ,perceptions and judg-
ment.
The possibility of aserious or even fatal acci-
dent is greatly increased when you drink or
take drugs and drive.
Do not drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive who has been drinking or tak-
ing drugs.
Emission control
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There
is ar isk of fatal injury. Thereforen ever leave
the engine running in enclosed spaces with-
out sufficien tventilation.
Certain engine systems are designed to keep
the level of poisonous substances in exhaust
fumes within legal limits.
These systems only work optimally if they are
maintained exactly in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's specifications. An ywork on the
engine should therefore be carried out by quali-
fied and authorized Mercedes-Benz technicians.
The engine settings must not be changed under
any circumstances. In addition, all specific
maintenanc ework must be carried out at regu-
lar intervals and in accordance with the service
requirement softhe dealer listed here on the
inside title page. Details can be found in the
Maintenance Booklet.
Speed limiter
GWARNING
Exceeding the stated tire load-bearing capa-
city and the approved maximum speed could
lead to tire damage or the tire bursting. There is ar isk of accident.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizes
approved for your vehicle model. Observe the
tire load ratin gand speed ratin grequired for
your vehicle.
As the driver, you must be aware of the maxi-
mum design speed of the vehicle and the maxi- mum permissible speed based on the tires (tire
and tire pressure). In particular, also observe the tire approval regulations for each country.
You must, under no circumstances, exceed the
speed limit for the tires specified by the speed
index. The speed ratin gisstated in the tire
tables (
Ypage 291).
You can permanently limit the maximum speed
of your vehicle, e.g. for driving on winter tires.

Operation
Information for ajourney
If the vehicle is heavily laden, checkt he tire
pressures,a nd correct them ,ifnecessary
(
Ypage 270).
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-
ing to one side. This may indicat ethat the
wheels or tires are damaged. If you suspect that
at ire is defective, reduce your speed immedi-
ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible to
checkt he wheels and tires for damage. Hidden
tire damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no signs of
damage, have the tires and wheels checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
When parkin gyour vehicle, make sure that the
tires do not get deformed by the curb or other
obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over curbs,
speed humps or similar elevations, try to do so
slowly and not at asharp angle. Otherwise, the
tires ,particularly the sidewalls, can get dam-
aged.
