Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is used for connect- ing diagnostic equipment at a qualified special-
ist workshop. G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of vehicle systems. As a result, the operating safety of the vehicle could be affec-
ted. There is a risk of an accident.
Only connect equipment to a diagnostics con-
nection in the vehicle, which is approved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz. G
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper- ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a
risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as pre-
scribed in order to ensure that there is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floor-mats on top of one another.
! If the engine is switched off and equipment
on the diagnostics connection is used, the
starter battery may discharge.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics con-
nection can lead to emissions monitoring infor-
mation being reset, for example. This may lead
to the vehicle failing to meet the requirements of
the next emissions test during the main inspec- tion. Operating safety

WARNING
If children operate the side windows they
could become trapped, particularly if they are left unsupervised. There is a risk of injury.
Activate the override feature for the rear side
windows. When leaving the vehicle, always
take the key with you and lock the vehicle.
Never leave children unattended in the vehi-
cle. Side window reversing feature
The side windows are equipped with an auto-
matic reversing feature. If a solid object blocks
or restricts a side window from travelling
upwards during the automatic closing process,
the side window opens again automatically. Dur-
ing the manual closing process, the side window
only opens again automatically after the corre-
sponding switch is released. The automatic
reversing feature is only an aid and is no substi- tute for your attention when closing a side win-
dow. G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R while resetting
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing, make sure that no parts of the
body are in the closing area. If someone
becomes trapped, press the switch to open
the side window again. Opening and closing the side win-
dows
The switches for all side windows are located on
the driver's door. There is also a switch on each door for the corresponding side window.

not the case, repeat the steps above. Problems with the side windows
G
WARNING
If you close a side window again immediately after it has been blocked or reset, the side window
closes with increased or maximum force. The reversing function is then not active. Parts of the
body could be trapped in the closing area in the process. This poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Make sure that no parts of the body are in the closing area. To stop the closing process, releasethe switch or push the switch again to reopen the side window. 100

Reversing feature of the sliding sun-
roof
In the following section, the term "sliding sun-
roof" refers to the panorama sliding sunroof.
The sliding sunroof is equipped with an auto-
matic reversing function. If a solid object blocks
or restricts the sliding sunroof during the closing process, the sliding sunroof opens again auto-
matically. The automatic reversing feature is,
however, only an aid and is no substitute for your attention when closing the sliding roof. G
WARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 4 mm of the closing movement
R during resetting
R when closing the sliding sunroof again man-
ually immediately after automatic reversing
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R release the switch immediately or
R press the switch in any direction during the
automatic closing process
The closing process is stopped. Operating the panorama sliding sun-
roof
Opening and closing :
To raise
; To open
= To close/lower
The panorama sliding sunroof can only be oper-
ated when the roller sunblind is open.
X Turn the key to position 1or2 in the igni-
tion lock (Y page 144).
X Press or pull the 3switch in the corre-
sponding direction.
If you press/pull the 3switch beyond the
pressure point, automatic operation is started in
the corresponding direction. You can stop auto-
matic operation by pressing/pulling again.
After opening the sliding sunroof, the roller sun- blind automatically closes slightly. This reduces drafts in the vehicle interior.
If the sliding sunroof is raised at the rear, it
automatically lowers slightly at higher speeds.
The noise level in the vehicle interior is reduced
as a result.
At low speeds, it rises again automatically.
You can also temporarily deactivate automatic
lowering. To do so, press the 3switch. The
sliding sunroof raises again automatically.
You can continue to operate the sliding sunroof
after switching off the engine or removing the
key. This function remains active for five
minutes or until you open a front door.
The sliding sunroof cannot be opened if a roof
carrier is fitted. In order to allow ventilation of
the vehicle interior, you can raise the sliding
sunroof.
If contact is made with a roof carrier approved
by Mercedes-Benz, the sliding sunroof lowers
slightly but remains raised at the rear. 102
