E+ Economy Plus
Drive program
E+is characterized by the fol-
lowing:
R reduced torque and significantly reduced
power. This supports an especially efficient
and even driving style and results in a reduc-
tion in speed to approximately 70 mph
(110 km/h).
R the vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward gear unless the accelerator pedal is
depressed fully.
R the wheels are less likely to spin.
R particularly efficient overrun.
R full power output by using kickdown.
R the performance of air-conditioning system
and heating are reduced. Steering wheel paddle shifters
Manually adjustable recuperation 0043
Left-hand steering wheel paddle shifter -
0044 Right-hand steering wheel paddle shifter +
You can increase or reduce recuperation in over- run mode using the steering wheel paddle shift-
ers. When you remove your foot from the accel-
erator pedal, recuperation occurs. The electric
motor is then used as a alternator and energy is recovered while driving. The recuperated elec-
trical energy is stored in the high-voltage bat-
tery. A higher energy recuperation level means
that the vehicle is braked more powerfully.
If necessary, counteract the reduced regenera-
tive braking effect by applying the brake your-
self.
Information on the Recuperative Braking Sys-
tem (Y page 64). X
To decrease recuperation: pull right-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter 0044.
X To increase recuperation: pull left-hand
steering wheel paddle shifter 0043.
The various recuperation levels are shown in the
transmission position display once Dhas been
selected (Y page 112).
The following recuperation levels are available in
overrun mode:
R no recuperation (D +
, coasting mode)
R moderate recuperation ( D)
R high recuperation ( D-
)
R recuperation depending on the traffic situa-
tion (D AUTO
, radar-based)
You can see the intensity of recuperation in
overrun mode by reading the recuperation per-
formance value shown in the power display
(Y page 153).
Every time drive position Dis selected, the
transmission switches into recuperation level
D AUTO
automatically.
The various different levels are to be used under the following conditions: D
+ Driving without much braking and
without the presence of obstacles
or sharp bends
The vehicle retains the maximum
possible amount of kinetic
energy. D
Normal driving
D
- Sporty driving or driving on a
downhill gradient
The brake pedal does not need to
be used as often because the
extent of the deceleration is
greater than in D.
Energy use when decelerating is
considerably higher than when
the vehicle is braked with the
brake pedal. D
AUTO
(radar-
based) The intensity of recuperation is
automatically adjusted to the cur-
rent traffic situation.

Drive sensibly – save energy
Observe the following tips to save energy:
R The tires should always be inflated to the rec-
ommended tire pressure.
R Remove unnecessary loads.
R Remove roof racks when they are not needed.
R Avoid frequent acceleration or braking.
Energy consumption also increases when driv-
ing in low or high outside temperatures, in stop-
start traffic, on short journeys and in hilly ter-
rain.
Drinking and driving G
WARNING
Drinking and driving and/or taking drugs and driving are very dangerous combinations.
Even a small amount of alcohol or drugs can
affect your reflexes, perceptions and judg-
ment.
The possibility of a serious 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. ECO display
The ECO display shows you how economical
your driving style is. The ECO display assists you in achieving the most economical driving style
for the selected settings and prevailing condi-
tions. Your driving style can significantly influ-
ence the vehicle's consumption. 0043

speeds
R the outer area empties and the
inner area is gray: sporty acceler-
ation 0044
Coasting
(evaluation of all decelera-
tion processes):
R the outer area fills up and the inner
area lights up green: anticipatory
driving, keeping your distance and
early release of the accelerator.
The vehicle can coast without use
of the brakes.
R the outer area empties and the
inner area is gray: frequent heavy
braking 0087
Constant
(continuous evaluation
over the entire journey):
R the outer area fills up and the inner
area lights up green: constant
speed and avoidance of unneces-
sary acceleration and deceleration
R the outer area empties and the
inner area is gray: fluctuations in
speed The three inner areas display the current driving
style and light up green as a result of a particu-
larly economical driving style. Depending on the driving situation, up to two areas may light up
simultaneously.
At the beginning of the journey, the three outer
areas are empty and fill up as a result of eco-
nomical driving. A higher level indicates a more
economical driving style. If the three outer areas 132

General notes The HOLD function can assist the driver in the
following situations:
R when pulling away, especially on steep slopes
R when maneuvering on steep slopes
R when waiting in traffic
The vehicle is kept stationary without the driver
having to depress the brake pedal.
The braking effect is canceled and the HOLD
function deactivated when you depress the
accelerator pedal to pull away.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When leaving the vehicle, it can still roll away despite being braked by the HOLD function if:
R there is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
R the HOLD function has been deactivated by
pressing the accelerator pedal or the brake
pedal, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
R the electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses have
been tampered with.
R the battery is disconnected
There is a risk of an accident.
If you wish to exit the vehicle, always turn off the HOLD function and secure the vehicle
against rolling away.
! If the HOLD function is activated, the vehicle
brakes automatically in certain situations.
To prevent damage to the vehicle, deactivate
the HOLD function in the following or other
similar situations:
R when towing the vehicle
R in the car wash

E-CELL display 0043shows the available power
of the drive system.
Under normal operating conditions, E-CELL dis-
play 0043is in the maximum range.
The power output available may deviate from
the maximum range in the event of:
R very high or low outside temperatures
R very high performance requirements for a lon-
ger period of time
R very low condition of charge of the high-volt-
age battery
R a malfunction in the drive system
The reduced power output can be improved by
charging the high-voltage battery (Y page 117).Power display
Power display
0043contains two areas:
R Area above 0
Here, the current amount of power that the
drive system is feeding to the wheels is dis-
played.
R Area below 0
Here, the vehicle's recuperative power in
overrun mode is displayed. If the needle for the power display is in the
OFF
position, the vehicle is not ready to drive
because:
R the drive system has not yet started
R the charging cable is still connected to the
vehicle socket
R there is insufficient power available from the
high-voltage battery
R the vehicle's high-voltage electrical system is
malfunctioning
When the drive system is started, the needle in
the power display moves to position 0. The dis-
play Ready Ready appears in the lower multifunction
display. The vehicle is ready to drive.
The boost area for maximum acceleration can
be reached using kickdown (Y page 114).
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 necessary, counteract the reduced regenera-
tive braking effect by applying the brake your-
self. Condition of charge display

Information about Service
Resetting the ASSYST PLUS service
interval display !
If the ASSYST PLUS service interval display
has been inadvertently reset, this setting can
be corrected at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
Have service work carried out as described in the Maintenance Booklet. This may otherwise
lead to increased wear and damage to the
major assemblies or the vehicle.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Center, will reset the
ASSYST PLUS service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also obtain further information on maintenance
work, for example.
Special service requirements The specified maintenance interval takes only
the normal operation of the vehicle into
account. Service work will need to be performed
more often if the vehicle is operated under ardu-
ous conditions or increased loads. This can be
the case, for example, when driving frequently in mountainous areas or on poor road surfaces.
In these or similar operating conditions have the interior filter, for example, changed more fre-
quently. Under arduous operating conditions,
the tires must be checked more often. Further
information can be obtained at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
Driving abroad An extensive Mercedes-Benz Service network is
also available in other countries. You can obtain further information from any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. Care
General notes
H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging and cleaning
cloths in an environmentally responsible man- ner. !
For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any of
the following:
R dry, rough or hard cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective films
with hard objects, e.g. a ring or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surfaces and protective film.
! Do not park your vehicle for a long period of
time directly after cleaning, particularly after
cleaning the wheel rim with wheel cleaner.
Wheel cleaner can lead to the increased cor-
rosion of the brake discs and pads. Therefore,
drive for a few minutes after cleaning. By
heating up the brakes, the brake discs and
pads dry. The vehicle can then be parked for a long period of time.
Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents recom-
mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Washing the vehicle and cleaning the
