If, after the charging process, the charging cable
is:
R left connected to the mains socket, the set
value will be used for the next charging proc-
ess.
R removed from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the
next charging process. You may then need to
reset the values of the maximum charge cur-
rent.
If the charge current values that have been set
on the charging cable and the on-board com-
puter are different, the high-voltage battery is
charged using the lower value.
If the vehicle requires more time than usual to
charge the high-voltage battery, check:

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
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you release the parking brake on uphill or
downhill gradients, the vehicle can begin to
move when in park position P. There is a risk
of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R prevent the parked vehicle from rolling on
uphill or downhill gradients by always
applying the parking brake.
R do not park the vehicle on uphill or downhill
gradients if the parking brake is malfunc-
tioning. 128

are completely filled at the same time, the driver
has adopted the most economical driving style
for the selected settings and prevailing condi-
tions. The ECO display border lights up.
The ECO display does not indicate the actual fuel
consumption. The additionally achieved range
displayed under Bonus fr. Start
Bonus fr. Start does not
indicate a fixed consumption reduction.
In addition to driving style, the actual consump- tion is affected by other factors, such as:
R Load
R Tire pressure
R Cold start
R Choice of route
R Active electrical consumers
These factors are not included in the ECO dis-
play.
An economical driving style specially requires
driving at moderate engine speeds.
To achieve a higher value in the categories
"Acceleration" and "Constant", drive the vehicle
in drive program E+orE.
On long journeys at a constant speed, e.g. on the highway, only the outer area for "constant" will
change.
The ECO display summarizes the driving style
from the start of the journey to its completion.
Therefore, there are more marked changes in
the outer areas at the start of a journey. On lon-
ger journeys, there are fewer changes. For more
marked changes, perform a manual rest
(Y page 158).
For more information on the ECO display, see
(Y page 156). Braking
Important safety notes G
WARNING
If you increase the recuperation level on slip- pery road surfaces, the drive wheels may lose
their traction. There is an increased danger of skidding and accidents.
Do not increase the recuperation level on slip-
pery road surfaces. The braking performance of the electric motor
using recuperative braking is, in some operating
modes, either reduced or not effective:
R when the condition of charge of the high-volt-
age battery increases
R if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor-
mal operating temperature
R when driving close to the maximum speed
R when the vehicle is almost stationary
R in transmission position N
R during and after ESP stability control
If you do not make an additional effort to apply
the brake yourself, the braking effect may not be
sufficient. If necessary, counteract the reduced regenerative braking effect by applying the
brake yourself.
Downhill gradients On long, steep gradients, you must reduce the
load on the brakes by selecting maximum recu-
peration. This helps you to avoid overheating the
brakes and wearing them out excessively.
Recuperation allows the vehicle to be deceler-
ated without placing a load on the braking sys-
tem.
Do not depress the brake pedal continuously
while the vehicle is in motion, e.g. causing the
brakes to rub by constantly applying light pres-
sure to the pedal. This results in excessive and
premature wear to the brake pads.
Heavy and light loads G
WARNING
If you rest your foot on the brake pedal while
driving, the braking system can overheat. This increases the stopping distance and can even
cause the braking system to fail. There is a
risk of an accident.
Never use the brake pedal as a footrest. Never
depress the brake pedal and the accelerator
pedal at the same time.
! Depressing the brake pedal constantly
results in excessive and premature wear to
the brake pads.
If the brakes have been subjected to a heavy
load, do not stop the vehicle immediately. Drive on for a short while. This allows the airflow to
cool the brakes more quickly. Driving tips

Activation conditions
To activate cruise control, all of the following
activation conditions must be fulfilled:
R the electric parking brake must be released.
R ESP ®
must be active, but not intervening.
R the transmission must be in position D.
Storing, maintaining and calling up a
speed Storing and maintaining the current
speed
You can store the current speed if you are driv-
ing faster than 20 mph (30 km/h).
X Accelerate the vehicle to the desired speed.
X Briefly press the cruise control lever up 0043or
down 0044.
X Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Cruise control is activated. The vehicle auto-
matically maintains the stored speed.
i Cruise control may be unable to maintain
the stored speed on uphill gradients. The
stored speed is resumed when the gradient
evens out. Cruise control maintains the
stored speed on downhill gradients by auto-
matically applying the brakes.
Storing the current speed or calling up the
last stored speed G
WARNING
If you call up the stored speed and it differs
from the current speed, the vehicle acceler-
ates or decelerates. If you do not know the
stored speed, the vehicle could accelerate or brake unexpectedly. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Pay attention to the road and traffic condi-
tions before calling up the stored speed. If you do not know the stored speed, store the
desired speed again.
X Briefly pull the cruise control lever towards
you 0085.
X Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
The first time cruise control is activated, it
stores the current speed or regulates the
speed of the vehicle to the previously stored
speed. Setting a speed Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment
until the vehicle has accelerated or braked to
the speed set.
X To adjust the set speed in10 km/hincre-
ments:briefly press cruise control lever

higher speed or down 0044for a lower speed.
i Cruise control is not deactivated if you
depress the accelerator pedal. For example, if
you accelerate briefly to overtake, cruise con-
trol adjusts the vehicle's speed to the last
speed stored after you have finished overtak-
ing.
Deactivating cruise control There are several ways to deactivate cruise con-
trol:
X Briefly press the cruise control lever forwards

detects typical indicators of fatigue or increas-
ing lapses in concentration on the part of the
driver, it suggests taking a break.
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid to the driver. It
might not always recognize fatigue or increasing inattentiveness in time or fail to recognize them
at all. The system is not a substitute for a well-
rested and attentive driver.
The functionality of ATTENTION ASSIST is
restricted and warnings may be delayed or not
occur at all:
R if the length of the journey is less than approx-
imately 30 minutes
R if the road condition is poor, e.g. if the surface
is uneven or if there are potholes
