Start/Stop button General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with
SmartKeys featuring the integrated KEYLESS-
GO function and a detachable Start/Stop but-
ton.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the Smart-
Key determines whether a valid SmartKey is in
the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when
starting the drive system.
When you insert the Start/Stop button into the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds recognition time. You can then use the Start/Stop button.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different Smart- Key positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the drive system starts
immediately. To start the vehicle without actively using the
SmartKey:
R
the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock.
R the SmartKey must be in the vehicle.
R the vehicle must not be locked with the
SmartKey or KEYLESS-GO (Y page 66)
Do not keep the KEYLESS-GO key:
R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another SmartKey.
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil.
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the functionality of KEYLESS-GO.
If you lock the vehicle with the SmartKey remote
control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button.
R you will no longer be able to start the drive
system with the Start/Stop button until the
vehicle is unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the front door (Y page 72), you can continue
to start the drive system with the Start/Stop
button.
The drive system can be switched off while the
vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/Stop button for three seconds.

Charging cable Important safety notes
! Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charging
cable for other purposes. It may otherwise be damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a single-phase 12 A charging cable. Only use the charging cable
included with the vehicle, which has been
approved for vehicle use.
Pay attention to the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 117).
If you use the supplied 12 A charging cable to
charge a high-voltage battery:
R the charge time increases considerably
R electrical consumption increases considera-
bly
Where possible, charge the high-voltage battery at a charging station (Y page 125). Only then
can certified electrical energy consumption lev- els be reached.
i The charging process can vary depending on
the charging station. Therefore, always
observe the local information.
Stowing the charging cable
The charging cable can be stowed in a bag in the trunk of the vehicle. To do so, the bag must be
secured to the cargo tie-down rings using the
retaining strap provided. 122

General notes G
WARNING
If you operate information systems and com-
munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle while driving, you will be distracted from
traffic conditions. You could also lose control of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Only operate the equipment when the traffic
situation permits. If you are not sure that this
is possible, park the vehicle paying attention
to traffic conditions and operate the equip-
ment when the vehicle is stationary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving whenoperating integrated information systems and
communications equipment.
Only use information systems and communica-
tions devices if this is permitted while driving
and if the traffic situation permits. You may oth-
erwise be distracted from the traffic conditions,
cause an accident and injure yourself and oth-
ers.
From the "My Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Home-
page", you can call up remote query and remote
configuration functions for your vehicle. This is
possible from an Internet-enabled computer, as well as many modern smartphones.
You can access the "Vehicle Homepage" via
your web browser.
Please call the Mercedes-Benz Customer Assis-
tance Center (USA) at the hotline number
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (1-800-367-6372) to
obtain the relevant Internet address. In order to use the "Vehicle Homepage", you
must agree to the applicable terms of use.
The contractual periods of mbrace apply to the
"Vehicle Homepage". To use the "Vehicle Home-
page", you require an activated mbrace access
and a separate activation or registration for the "Vehicle Homepage".
Further information about the supported end
devices, available languages and contractual
periods is available at an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
In order to call up the "Vehicle Homepage", the
vehicle must be connected to the Internet.
This is possible via the radio module
(Y page 128).
Notes on data protection Bear in mind that the "Vehicle Homepage" offers
access to your data. Therefore, look after the
vehicle verification code (VVC) and your user
details carefully.
The vehicle verification code (VVC) is required
when you register for the first time on the "Vehi- cle Homepage". Using this code, the vehicle andthe user access are linked to each other on the
"Vehicle Homepage", enabling the intended
usage. You can obtain further information from
an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Prevent unauthorized persons from access- ing this data.
Every person who has access to the informationstated can use the functions on the "Vehicle
Homepage".
R If you sell your vehicle, you are obliged to
delete the vehicle from your personal area on
the "Vehicle Homepage". Additionally, you High-voltage battery
127Driving and parking Z

must destroy documents containing the vehi-
cle verification code (VVC).
R If you have bought a used vehicle, it is possi-
ble that the previous owner still has access to
the "Vehicle Homepage". If in doubt, have a
new vehicle verification code (VVC) issued by
the Mercedes-Benz Center after purchase.
With the code you can set up access to your
vehicle, as described in the section "Setting
up a personal area" on the Vehicle Home-
page". There, you may also deactivate the
existing access of the previous owner.
Calling up functions in the "My
Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage" The "My Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage"
allows you access to information about your
vehicle and its functions using remote query and
remote configuration. For example, climate con- trol can be activated using remote configuration
which means that it need not be set in the vehi- cle. Power for the climate control is primarily
supplied via the charging cable connected to the mains supply. In most cases, this does not
reduce the range. If climate control is activated,the condition of charge 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:
R request the current condition of charge of the
high-voltage battery
R program the departure time (Y page 163)
R order and activate the "Pre-entry climate con-
trol at departure time" function
If the vehicle is charging, the predicted charging
time and the predicted range will also be shown.
This data is estimated and may be influenced by
the following factors:
R outside temperature
R switched on consumers, e.g. climate control
and seat heating
R personal driving style
R road and traffic conditions
R route characteristics
Therefore, allow for a sufficient reserve. i
Information 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 vehi-
cle 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 automatically 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.
i Restrictions 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
