Operating conditions:
Ravoid short trips as these increase fuel con-
sumption.
Ralways make sure that the tire pressures
are correct.
Rdo not carry any unnecessary weight.
Rremove roof racks once you no longer need
them.
Raregularly serviced vehicle will contribute
to environmental protection. You should
therefore adhere to the service intervals.
Ralways have service work carried out at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Personal driving style:
Rdo not depress the accelerator pedal when
starting the engine.
Rdo not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary.
Rdrive carefully and maintain asafe distance
from the vehicle in front.
Ravoid frequent, sudden acceleration and
braking.
Rchange gear in good time and use each gear
only up to Ôof its maximum engine speed.
Rswitch off the engine in stationary traffic.
Rkeep an eye on the vehicle's fuel consump-
tion.
Environmental issues and recommen-
dations
When prompted by this Operator's Manual to
dispose of materials, please try to regenerate
and recycle these materials. Observe all rele-
vant environmental guidelines and regulations
when disposing of materials. This helps to pro-
tect the environment.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs
carried out, this can result in malfunctions or system failures. There is arisk of an accident.
Alwaysh ave the prescribed service/mainte-
nance work as well as any required repairs
carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.
Air bags and pyrotechnic EmergencyT ensioning
Devices (ETDs) contain perchlorate material,
which may require special handling and regard
for the environment.T he guidelines must be
observed during disposal.
In California, you can find more information on
the Internet at www.dtsc.ca.gov.
Notes on operating the vehicle
There isarisk of damage to the vehicle if:
Rthe vehicle makes contact with the ground,
e.g. on ahigh curb or aloose road surface
Ryou drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g. a
curb or apothole
Raheavy object hits the underbody or chassis
component
In these or similars ituations, the vehicle body/
frame, the underbody,c hassis components,
wheels or tires could be damaged even if this is
not visible from the outside. Components that
have been damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail or no longer be able to assimilate the
loads occurring in the event of an accident. If the underbody paneling is damaged,f lammable
material, such as leaves, grass or twigs, could
collect between the underbody and underbody
paneling. These materials could ignite if they
remain in contact with hot componentsoft he
exhaust system for an extended period.
GWARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system. There is arisk
of fire.

Driving safety systems
Overview
In thiss ection, yo uwillf indi nformation about
the following drivin gsafety systems:
REBD ( Ele ctronic Brake Force Distribution)
RABS ( Anti-lock Braking Sys tem)
RBAS ( Brake Assist System)
RESP®(E le ctronic Stability Program)
Important safety notes
If yo ufailtoa dapt your drivin gstyle or if yo uare
inattentive, the drivin gsafety systems can nei-
therr educe the ris kofaccident nor override the
laws of physics .Drivin gsafety systems are
merel yaidsd esig nedtoa ssistdriving. Yo uare
responsibl efor the distance to the vehicl ein
front, for vehicl espeed, braking in good time
and for staying in your lane. Alway sadapt your drivin
gstyle to the prevailing roa dand weather
conditions and maintain asufficient, safe dis-
tance fromo therroa du sers.D rive carefully.

ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
General notes
ABS regulate sbrake pressure in such awaythat
the wheels do not lock when yo ubrake. This
allows yo utocontinue steering the vehicl ewhen
braking.
The ò warning lamp in the instrument cluster
lights up when the ignition is switched on. The
lamp goes ou twhent he engine starts running.
Important safety notes
Observe the important safety guideline sfor the
drivin gsafety system(Ypage 62).
ABS works fromas peedof abou t5mph
(8 km/h), regardles sofroad-surface conditions.
ABS works on slippery surfaces ,evenw heny ou
onl ybrake gently.
GWARNING
If ABS is faulty, the wheels could lock when
braking .The steerability an dbraking charac-
teristics maybes everel yimpaired. Addition-
ally ,fur the rdrivin gsafety systems ar edeac-

Parking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Flammabl ematerial such as leaves, grass or
twigs mayi gnite if theyc ome into contact with
hot parts of the exhaust system or exhaust
gasf low. There is ariskoff ire.
Park the vehicl esothatnof lammabl emate-
rials come into contact with parts of the vehi-
cle which ar ehot. Take particular car enot to
park on dry grassland or harvested grain
fields.
132Parking
Driving an dparking

Alwaysusethe hands-free system for telephon-
ing whil edriving .Onlyu sethe telephone if road
traffic conditions permit. If thisisn ot the case,
pull ove rtoasafel oc ation before using the tele-
phone.
Bea rinm ind thatata speed of just30mph
(approximately5 0km/h), your vehicl eiscov-
ering adistance of 44 fee t(approximately 14 m)
every second.
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.
