WARNING Risk of inju rywhen adjusting
ve hicle settings while theve hicle is in
motion
Yo u could lose cont rol of theve hicle in the
fo llowing situations:
R ifyo u adjust the driver's seat, the head
re stra ints, thesteering wheel or the mir‐
ro r while theve hicle is in motion
R ifyo ufast enyour seat belt while theve hi‐
cle is in motion #
Before starting theve hicle's drive sys‐
te m: adju stthe driver's seat, the head
re stra ints, thesteering wheel or the
mir ror and fastenyour seat belt. &
WARNING Risk of accident due tomis‐
judgement of dis tances when using the
outside mir ror
The outside mir rors reflect objects on a
smaller scale. The objects in view are in fact
closer than they appear.
As a result, you may misjud gethe dis tance
between you and thero ad user driving
behind you, e.g. when changing lanes. #
Therefore, alw ays look over your shoul‐
der in order toensure that you are
aw are of the actual dis tance between
yo u and thero ad users driving behind

generative brake sy stem Fu
nction of there ge nerative brake sy stem
Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,
th e electric mo tor is operated as an alternator
when in overru n mode and du ring braking in
order tocharge the high-voltage battery while
driving. As soon as youre lease the accelera tor
pedal when theve hicle is in motion, recupera‐
tion in overru n mode is initia ted.
The rege nerati vebrake sy stem has thefo llowing
ch aracteristics:
R suppo rts braking with an electronically con‐
trolled brake forc e boosting
R con verts th e kinetic energy of theve hicle
into electric energy
In the drive program, you can use thesteering
wheel gearshift paddles tomanually adju st theintensity of
recuperation in overru n mode
(/ page 161).
Sy stem limits
The braking ef fect of the electric mo tor during
re cuperation in overru n mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R when the high-voltage battery charge level
inc reases
R ifth e high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor‐
mal operating temp erature
R when driving at speeds close tozero
R in transmission position i
R during and af ter ESP ®
inter venes
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
th e brake control sy stem. Also brake with the
service brake if necessar y.
Manually setting recuperative deceleration
Yo u can use thesteering wheel gearshift paddles
to manually adju stthe intensity of recuperation
in ove rrun mode. The higher
there cuperation, the more sharply
th eve hicle is braked when coasting and the
more electrical energy is fed into the high-volt‐
age batter y.
% The standard setting is automatically set

engaging transmission position h. #
Toincrease recuperation: briefly pull gear‐
shift paddle 1. #

ety sy stems Driving sy
stems and your responsibility Yo
ur vehicle is equipped with driving sy stems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu‐
vring theve hicle. The driving sy stems are aids
and do not relie ve you of your responsibility per‐
ta ining toroad traf fic la w.Pay attention tothe
traf fic conditions at all times and inter vene
when necessa ry. Be aware of the limitations
re ga rding the safe use of these sy stems. Information on
radar and ultrasonic senso rsSome driving and driving sa
fety sy stems use
ra dar or ultrasonic sensors tomonitor the area
in front of, behind or next totheve hicle (depend‐
ing on theve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integ rated behind the bumpers
and/or behind the Mercedes star. The ultrasonic
sensors are located in the front and rear bump‐
ers. Keep these parts free of dirt, ice and slush (/
page 469). The sensors must not be cov‐
ered, forex ample bybicycle rack s, overhanging
loads, sticke rs,fo il or foils toprotect against
st one chipping. Additional license plate brac kets
can li kewise impair the function of the ultrasonic
sensors. In theeve nt of dama getothe bumpers
or radiator grille, or following a collision impact‐
ing the bumpers or radiator grille, ha vethe func‐
tion of the sensors checked at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. If the sensors are damaged,
some driving sy stems and driving saf ety sy stems
may no longer function properly. Overview of driving sy
stems and driving
