The spinning of the wheels results in a cut for
better traction on loose surfaces.

Active Brake Assist is also not activated if you
brake firmly with assistance from ESP ®
.
R PRE-SAFE ®

PRE-SAFE ®
is also not activated if you brake

R ESP ®

firmly EBD (electronic brake force distribu-
tion)
General information EBD monitors and controls the brake pressure
on the rear wheels to improve driving stability
while braking.
Important safety notes i
Observe the "Important safety notes" sec-
tion (Y page 58). G
WARNING
If EBD is malfunctioning, the rear wheels can
lock, e.g. under full braking. This increases the risk of skidding and an accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
to the different handling characteristics. Have the brake system checked at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Observe information regarding indicator and
warning lamps (Y page 201) as well as display
messages (Y page 177). ADAPTIVE BRAKE
ADAPTIVE BRAKE enhances braking safety and
offers increased braking comfort. In addition to
the braking function, ADAPTIVE BRAKE also fea-
tures the hill start assist function (Y page 112). Protection against theft
Immobilizer
The immobilizer prevents your vehicle from
being started without the correct SmartKey. X To activate with KEYLESS-GO start-func-
tion or KEYLESS-GO:
switch the ignition off
and open the driver's door.
X To activate with the SmartKey: remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock.
X To deactivate: switch on the ignition.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Anyone
can start the engine if a valid SmartKey has been
left inside the vehicle.
i The immobilizer is always deactivated when
you start the engine.
In the event that the engine cannot be started (yet the vehicle's battery is charged), the sys-
tem is not operational. Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or call
1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada). ATA (anti-theft alarm system)

tem automatically notifies the Customer
Assistance Center. This is done either by text
message or data connection.
The emergency call system sends a message
or establishes a data connection provided
that:
R you have subscribed to the mbrace service.
R the mbrace service has been activated
properly.
R the necessary mobile phone network is
available. Protection against theft

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they could:
R open the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users.
R get out and disrupt traffic.
R operate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
R release the parking brake.
R shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
R Start the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children or animals unattended in the
vehicle. Always keep the SmartKey out of
reach of children. G
WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the
SmartKey, the SmartKey could be uninten-
tionally turned in the ignition lock. This could
cause the engine to be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
SmartKey. Remove any bulky key rings before
inserting the SmartKey into the ignition lock.
! Keep the SmartKey away from strong mag-
netic fields. Otherwise, the remote control
function could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin- ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the SmartKey: R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another SmartKey
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the functionality of the Smart-
Key. Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start function:
do
not keep the SmartKey in the trunk. Otherwise, the SmartKey may not be detected, e.g. when
starting the engine using the Start/Stop button.
A brief radio connection between the vehicle
and the SmartKey determines whether a valid
SmartKey is in, or in the direct vicinity of, the
vehicle.
This occurs, for example:
R when starting the engine
R while driving
R when using the trunk lid unlocking sensor
R when the external door handles are touched
R during convenience closing SmartKey functions

X To unlock centrally: press the0036button.
If you do not open the vehicle within approx-
imately 40 seconds of unlocking:

The SmartKey centrally locks and unlocks the
doors, the glove box and the fuel filler flap.
The turn signals flash once when unlocking and three times when locking.
You can also set an audible signal to confirm
that the vehicle has been locked. The audible
signal can be activated and deactivated via the
multimedia system; see the Digital Operator's
Manual.
When the locator lighting is activated via the
multimedia system, it lights up when it is dark 66

after the vehicle is unlocked with the SmartKey.
Information on activating and deactivating the
locator lighting can be found in the Digital Oper-
ator's Manual.
X To open the trunk lid: press and hold the
0054 button until the trunk lid opens. KEYLESS-GO
General notes Bear in mind that the engine can be started by
any of the vehicle occupants if there is a Smart-
Key in the vehicle (Y page 112).
Locking/unlocking centrally You can start, lock or unlock the vehicle using
KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you only need carry the
SmartKey with you. You can combine the func-
tions of KEYLESS-GO with those of a conven-
tional SmartKey. Unlock the vehicle by using
KEYLESS-GO, for instance, and lock it using the 0037 button on the SmartKey.
The driver's door and the door at which the han- dle is used, must both be closed. The SmartKey
must be outside the vehicle. When locking or
unlocking with KEYLESS-GO, the distance
between the SmartKey and the corresponding
door handle must not be greater than 3 ft (1 m).
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the Smart-
Key determines whether a valid SmartKey is in
the vehicle. This occurs, for example:
R when starting the engine
R while driving
R when using the remote trunk lid opening sen-
sor
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 0043
or 0044.
Make sure that you do not touch the inner
surface of the door handle.
X Convenience closing feature: touch
recessed sensor surface 0044for an extended
period.
Further information on the convenience clos-
ing feature (Y page 78).
Deactivating and activating If you do not intend to use the vehicle for a lon-
ger period of time, you can deactivate KEYLESS-
GO. The SmartKey will then use very little power, thereby conserving battery power. For the pur-
poses of activation/deactivation, the vehicle
must not be nearby.
X To deactivate: press the0037button on the
SmartKey twice in rapid succession.
The indicator light on the SmartKey flashes
twice briefly then one long flash, then KEY-
LESS-GO is deactivated (Y page 69).
X To activate: press any button on the Smart-
Key.
or X Insert the SmartKey into the ignition lock.
KEYLESS-GO and all of its associated features
are available again. KEYLESS-GO start function
Bear in mind that the engine can be started by
any of the vehicle occupants if there is a Smart- Key in the vehicle (Y page 112). SmartKey
