Owner's Manual carefully and familiarise your-
self with your vehicle. For your own safety and a longer vehicle life, follow the instructions and

them may lead to damage to the vehicle or per-
sonal injury.
The equipment or model designation of your
vehicle may vary according to:
R model

The illustrations in this manual show a left-hand-
drive vehicle. On right-hand-drive vehicles, the

cles to the state of the art.
Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right to
introduce changes in the following areas:
R design

Consequently, the description may differ from
your vehicle in some cases.
The following are integral components of the
vehicle:
R Printed Owner's Manual
R Service Booklet
R Equipment-dependent supplements
Keep these documents in the vehicle at all
times. If you sell the vehicle, always pass all
documents on to the new owner.
