TEDama getotheve hicle In
thefo llowing situations, in particular, there
is a risk of damage totheve hicle:
R theve hicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high kerb or an unpa vedro ad
R theve hicle is driven toofast over an
obs tacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
R a heavy object strike sth e underbody or
ch assis components
In situations such as this, the body, the
underbody, chassis components, wheels or
tyres could be damaged without the damage
being visible. Components damaged in this wa
y can unexpec tedly fail or, in the case of
an accident, may not absorb the loads that
arise as intended.
If th e underbody panelling is damaged, flam‐
mable materials such as lea ves, grass or
twigs can collect between the underbody and
th e underbody panelling. These materials
may ignite if they come into contact wi thhot
parts on theex haust sy stem. #
Have theve hicle checked and repaired
immediately at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop.
or #
If driving saf ety is impaired while con‐
tinuing your journe y,pull over and stop
th eve hicle immediately in accordance
with the traf fic conditions, and contact
a qu alified specialist workshop. Declaration of Conformity

of an accident,
rescue services can use the QR
code toquickly find the appropriate rescue card
fo ryo ur vehicle. The cur rent rescue card con‐
ta ins the most impor tant information about your
ve hicle in a compact form , e.g. thero uting of the
electric lines.
Fu rther information can be obtained at http://

storage Electronic control units
Elect
ronic control units are fitted in your vehicle.
Some of these are necessary forth e safe opera‐
tion of your vehicle, while some assist you when
driving (driver assis tance sy stems). In addition,
yo ur vehicle pr ovides com fort and enter tainment
functions, which are also made possible byelec‐
tronic control units.
Elect ronic control units contain da tamemories
which can temp orarily or permanently store
te ch nical information about theve hicle's operat‐
ing state, component loads, main tenance
re qu irements and tech nical events or faults. In
general, this information documents thest ate
of a component part, a module, a sy stem or the
sur roundings such as:
R operating status of sy stem components (e.g.
fi ll le vels, battery status, tyre pressure)
R status messages concerning theve hicle or
its individual components (e.g. number of
wheel revo lutions/speed, longitudinal accel‐
eration, lateral acceleration, display of fas‐
te ned seat belts)
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant sy stem
components (e.g. lights, brakes)
R information on events leading tovehicle
damage
R system reactions in special driving situations
(e.g. airbag deployment, inter vention of sta‐
bility control sy stems)
R ambient conditions (e.g. temp erature, rain
sensor)
In addition toprov iding the actual control unit
function, this data assists the manufacturer in
de tecting and rectifying faults and optimising
ve hicle functions. The majority of this data is te
mp orary and is only processed in theve hicle
itself. Only a small portion of the data is stored
in theeve nt or fault memor y.
When your vehicle is serviced, tech nical da ta
from theve hicle can be read out byservice net‐
wo rkemplo yees (e.g. workshops, manufactur‐
ers) or third parties (e.g. breakdown services).
Services include repair services, maintenance
processes, warranty claims and quality assur‐
ance measures, forex ample. The read out is per‐
fo rm ed via the legally prescribed port forthe
diagnostics connection in theve hicle. The
re spective service network locations or third
parties collect, process and use the data. They
document tech nical statuses of theve hicle,
assist in finding faults and impr oving quality and
are transmitted tothe manufacturer, if neces‐
sar y.Fu rthermore, the manufacturer is subject
to product liability. Forth is, the manufacturer
requ irestech nical da tafrom vehicles.
Fa ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a

Do not touch the airbag parts. #
Have a deplo yed airbag replaced at a

af te r an accident. Take this into account, partic‐
ularly if a seat belt tensioner is trig gered or an
airbag deplo yed.
If th e seat belt tensioners are trig gered or an air‐
bag is deplo yed, you will hear a bang, and a
small amount of powder may also be released:
R The bang will not generally af fect your hear‐

WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct gearshifting
If th e engine speed is higher than the idle
speed and you en gage the transmission posi‐
tion hork, theve hicle may accelerate
sharply. #
Ifyo u en gage the transmission position
h ork always depress the brake
pedal firm lyand do not accelerate at
th e same time. Limited braking ef
fect on salt-trea tedro ads:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
conside rably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To remo vethe la yer of salt:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions R
carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey Fu
nction of rear axle steering Depending on
the speed, rear axle steering
adapts the tra ckofthere ar axle tothe position
of the front wheels. Toge ther with thesteering
input of the front wheels, this results in greater
mobility and impr ovedstabilit y.
Re ar axle steering has thefo llowing characteris‐
tics:
R reduced steering ef fort and turning circle
re sulting in reduced parking ef fort
R impr oved driving stabilit y,e.g. on cur ves
R more direct steering resulting in impr oved
control of theve hicle Tips
for the AMG ce ramic high-pe rformance
composite brake sy stem The brake sy
stem is designed for heavy loads.
This may lead tonoise when braking. This ef fect
can also occur af terwa shing theve hicle.
The noise depends on thefo llowing factors:
R speed
R brake force
R environmen tal conditions, e.g. temp erature
and air humidity
% Have the brake sy stem checked at a quali‐
fi ed specialist workshop af ter it has been
subjected toextreme loads. 11 2
