Active Parking Assist does not assist you park-
ing in spaces at right angles to the direction of
travel if:
Rtwo parking spaces are located directly next
to one another
Rthe parking space is directly next to a low
obstacle such as a low curb
Ryou forward park
Active Parking Assist does not assist you park-
ing in spaces that are parallel or at right angles
to the direction of travel if:
Rthe parking space is on a curb
Rthe system reads the parking space as being
blocked, for example by foliage or grass pav-
ing blocks
Rthe area is too small for the vehicle to maneu-
ver into
Rthe parking space is bordered by an obstacle,
e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
:Detected parking space on the left
;Parking symbol
=Detected parking space on the right
If the driver's seat belt is fastened and all doors
are closed, Active Parking Assist is activated
automatically when driving forwards. The sys-
tem is operational at speeds of up to approx-
imately 22 mph (35 km/h). While in operation,
the system independently locates and meas-
ures parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.
Active Parking Assist will only detect parking
spaces:
Rparallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
Rthat are parallel to the direction of travel and are at least 59 in (1.5 m) wide
Rthat are parallel to the direction of travel and
at least 40 in (1.0 m) longer than your vehicle
Rthat are at right angles to the direction of
travel and at least 40 in (1.0 m) widerthan
your vehicle
iNote that Active Parking Assist cannot
measure the length of a parking space if it is at right angles to the direction of travel. You will
need to judge whether your vehicle will fit in
the parking space.
When the vehicle is driving at speeds of up to
approximately 20 mph (30 km/h), parking sym-
bol ;is shown as a status display in the header.
The syste m d
etects and differentiates between
parking spaces which are parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel. When a parking
space is detected, an arrow appears next to
parking symbol ;to indicate which side the
parking space is on. The parking space is dis-
played while you are driving past it and until you
are approximately 50 ft (15 m) away from it.
Active Parking Assist displays parking spaces on
the passenger side as standard. The parking
spaces on the driver's side are only displayed if
you operate the turn signal on the driver's side.
When parking on the driver's side, you must
operate the turn signal until you have started
active parking assistance by pressing the a
button on the steering wheel.
Parking
GWARNING
If you leave the driver's seat when the vehicle is only being braked by Active Parking Assist,
the vehicle could roll away if:
Rthere is a malfunction in the system or in
the voltage supply.
Rthe electrical system in the engine com-
partment, the battery or the fuses are tam-
pered with.
Rthe battery is disconnected.
Rthe vehicle is accelerated, e.g. by a vehicle
occupant.
There is a risk of an accident.
Before leaving the driver's seat, always secure the vehicle against rolling away.
If PARKTRONIC detects obstacles, Active Park-
ing Assist brakes automatically during the park- ing process. You are responsible for braking in
good time.

Maintenance
General notes
HEnvironmental note
Observe measures to protect the environ-
ment when working on the vehicle. You must
observe the legal requirements when dispos-
ing of service products, e.g. engine oil. This
also includes all components, e.g. filters,
which have come into contact with service
products. Any qualified specialist workshop
can provide information about this.
Dispose of empty containers, cleaning cloths
and care products in an environmentally
responsible manner. Comply with the instruc-
tions for use of the care products.
Do not run the engine for longer than neces-
sary when the vehicle is stationary.
Before carrying out maintenance measures and
repairs, you must read the following documents
relating to maintenance measures and repairs:
Rrelevant sections of the technical documen-
tation such as the Operator's Manual and
workshop information
Rlegal stipulations such as work safety regula-
tions and accident prevention regulations
While working under the vehicle, you must
secure the vehicle on jack stands with sufficient load capacity.
Never use a vehicle jack instead of stands. The
jack is designed only to raise the vehicle for a
short time when changing a wheel. It is not
suited for performing maintenance work under
the vehicle.
Please also refer to the notes about qualified
specialist workshops (
Ypage 31).
The scope and regularity of the inspection and
maintenance work primarily depend on the
often diverse operating conditions. Specialist
knowledge beyond the scope of this Operator's
Manual is required when carrying out testing
and maintenance work. This work should only be
carried out by trained staff.
The vehicle Maintenance Booklet describes the scope and frequency of maintenance work and
contains additional notes on the Limited War-
ranty. You will find information about service
products approved by Mercede s-Benz a
ndcapacities under "Service products and capaci-
ties" (
Ypage 306)
Maintenance services must be carried out in
accordance with the provisions and recommen- dations in the Maintenance Booklet. Not doing
so could void the warranty claim and lead to
refusal of goodwill gestures after the manufac-
turer has submitted a damage report.
Observe the information under "Mercedes-Benz
genuine parts" (
Ypage 33).
Service interval display
General notes
The service interval display informs you of the
next service due date. Information on the type of
service and service intervals can be found in the
Maintenance Booklet.
iThe service interval display does not provide
information about the engine oil level. The
service interval display should therefore not
be confused with the engine oil level display.
For example, the display shows one of the fol-
lowing service messages for a few seconds:
RService A in .. days
RService A Dueor Service A Due
RServ. A Exceed. by .. Days
Then either the remaining time or distance until
the next service due date is displayed. If the
service due date has been exceeded, the
elapsed time or distance traveled after the over-
due service date is shown. The letter in the dis-
play message indicates which service is due. A
stands for a minor service andBfor a major ser-
vice.
A qualified specialist workshop, e.g. an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Commercial Van Center,
will reset the service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also
obtain further information on maintenance
work, for example.
The prescribed service interval is based on nor- mal vehicle use. Service work will need to be
performed more frequently than prescribed if
the vehicle is operated under more arduous con-
ditions or with higher loads. Such arduous con-
ditions include:
Rregular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
Rdriving predominantly short distances

Towing the vehicle with both axles on
the ground
Important safety notes
GWARNING
You can no longer steer the vehicle if the
steering wheel lock has been engaged. There
is a risk of an accident.
Always switch off the ignition when towing the
vehicle with a tow cable or a tow bar.
!Do not exceed the towing speed of 30 mph
(50 km/h). You could otherwise damage the
transmission.
Please observe the important safety notes
before towing your vehicle (
Ypage 276).
Towing vehicles with automatic trans-
mission
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
XDepress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
XShift the automatic transmission to position
N.
XLeave the key in position 2in the ignition lock.
XSwitch on the hazard warning lamps
(Ypage 98).
XRelease the parking brake.
XRelease the brake pedal.
XDo not exceed the towing speed of 30 mph
(50 km/h).
Recovering a vehicle that is stuck
!
When recovering a vehicle that has become
stuck, pull it as smoothly and evenly as pos-
sible. Excessive tractive power could damage
the vehicles.
If the drive wheels get trapped on loose or
muddy ground, recover the vehicle with the
utmost care. This is especially the case if the
vehicle is laden.
Never attempt to recover a vehicle with a trailer
attached.
Pull out the vehicle backwards, if possible, using
the tracks it made when it became stuck.
Transporting the vehicle
!
You may only secure the vehicle by the
wheels, not by parts of the vehicle such as
axle or steering components. Otherwise, the
vehicle could be damaged.
The towing eye or trailer tow hitch can be used
to pull the vehicle onto a trailer or transporter if
you wish to transport it.
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
XShift the transmission to position N.
XRelease the parking brake.
If the vehicle is loaded:
XShift the transmission to position P.
XTurn the key to position 0in the ignition lock
and remove it.
XMake sure the parking brake is applied.
XLash down the vehicle.
Tow-starting (emergency engine
