Index
Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified
specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as
well as accessories relevant to safety that have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz. This
could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant
systems, e.g. the brake system. Use only genu-
ine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of equal qual- ity. Use only tyres, wheels and accessories that
have been specifically approved for your vehi-
cle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and conver-
sion parts and accessories that have been spe-
cifically approved for your vehicle for their reli-
ability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing
market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to
assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been officially approved or independently
approved by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are officially approved for installation or modification only if they com-
ply with legal requirements. This also applies to some other countries. All genuine Mercedes-
Benz parts meet the approval requirements. The
use of non-approved parts may invalidate the
vehicle's general operating permit.
This is the case:
R if they cause a change of the vehicle type from
that for which the vehicle's general operating permit was granted
R if other road users could be endangered
R if the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) (Y page 351) when ordering genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts. Owner's Manual
Vehicle equipment
i This Owner's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipment
available for your vehicle at the time of pub-
lication of the Owner's Manual. Country-spe-
cific differences are possible. Note that your
vehicle may not be fitted with all features
described. This is also the case for systems
and functions relevant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from
that in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documentation
for your vehicle contains a list of all the systems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are
important documents and should be kept in the
vehicle. Operating safety

Locking and unlocking You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you need to carry the

The driver's door and the door on which the
handle is used must both be closed. The key must be outside the vehicle. When locking or
unlocking with KEYLESS-GO, the distance
between the key and the corresponding door
handle must not be greater than one metre.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in or in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle. This occurs, for
example:
R while starting the engine
R while driving
R when the external door handles are touched
R during convenience closing X
To unlock the vehicle: touch the inner sur-
face of the door handle.
X To lock the vehicle: touch sensor surface :
or ;.

Switch the auxiliary heating on regularly – once
a month – for about ten minutes.
The auxiliary heating timer function calculates
the switch-on time according to the outside
temperature so that the vehicle is preheated by the departure time. When the departure time is
reached, the auxiliary heating continues to heat for a further five minutes and then switches off.
The auxiliary heating heats the air in the vehicle interior to the set temperature. This occurs with-out using the heat of the running engine. The
auxiliary heating is operated directly using the
vehicle's fuel. For this reason, the fuel tank must
be at least Õfull to ensure that the auxiliary
heating functions.
The auxiliary heating/ventilation automatically
adjusts to changes in temperature and weather conditions. For this reason, the auxiliary heating
could switch from ventilation mode to heating
mode or from heating mode to ventilation mode.
The auxiliary heating switches off when the
engine is switched off. The auxiliary ventilation
switches off when you turn the key to key posi-
tion 2(Ypage 144).
The auxiliary heating switches off automatically
after 50 minutes.
You cannot use the auxiliary ventilation to cool
the vehicle interior to a temperature lower than
the outside temperature.
Before switching on X
Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y page 144).
X Set the desired temperature.
Auxiliary heating or ventilation can also be
switched on if the manually set climate control is
activated. Optimum comfort is attained by set-
ting the system to automatic mode. Set the tem-
perature to 22 †.
The auxiliary heating or auxiliary ventilation can be switched on/off using the button on the
centre console or the remote control.
The on-board computer can be used to specify
up to three departure times, one of which may
be preselected (Y page 230). Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the button on the
centre console General notes
The colours of the indicator lamps on button
:
signify the following:
R Blue: auxiliary ventilation activated
R Red: auxiliary heating activated
R Yellow: departure time preselected
(Y page 230)

heating or auxiliary ventilation
X Press button :.

Switching the auxiliary heating/venti-
lation on or off using the remote control General notes
Your vehicle comes with one remote control.
You may use two additional remote controls for
your vehicle. For more information, please con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
Store the remote control for the auxiliary heat-
ing so that the auxiliary heating cannot be
switched on unintentionally. In particular,
ensure that the remote control for the auxiliary
heating is kept out of the reach of children.
The remote control has a range of approximately
300 metre s. Thisrange is reduced by:
