You must reset the electric sliding door if there
has been a malfunction or an interruption in the
voltage supply (
Ypage 78).
iPlease note, if the child-proof locks have
been activated, you cannot open the sliding
door from the inside. You can only open a
sliding door from the inside if the child-proof
locks have not been activated. Further infor-
mation can be found under "Child-proof locks
for the sliding door" (
Ypage 63) and "Open-
ing/closing from the inside" (Ypage 77).
Obstacle detection with reversing
feature
The sliding door is equipped with automatic
obstacle detection with reversing feature. If a
solid object blocks or restricts the sliding door
during the automatic closing process, the slid-
ing door opens again automatically. If the sliding
door is obstructed during the opening proce-
dure, it moves back a few centimeters in the
opposite direction and stops.
Automatic obstacle detection with reversing
feature is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attentiveness when closing the electrical
sliding door.
If an obstacle is detected, the display shows the
Left-hand Electric Sliding Door
ObstructionDetectedmessage for example,
and five warning tones sound.
GWARNING
The reversing feature does not react:
Rto soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
Rover the last 8 mm of the closing movement
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-one has any
parts of the body within the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
Rpress the 5button on the SmartKey, or
Rpull the exterior door handle, or
Rpress the corresponding sliding door but-
ton in the center console, or
Rpress the button on the door frame, or
Rpull the rocker switch on door handle
Opening/closing from the outside
The sliding door is equipped with an active
retainer, which engages the door at the end stop
when opened.
If the vehicle is equipped with two electric slid-
ing doors; the 5button on the SmartKey can
only be used to open or close one of the two
sliding doors (
Ypage 78).
XTo open: pull door handle :in the direction
of the arrow.
or
XPress the 5button on the SmartKey for
longer than 0.5 seconds.
The sliding door unlocks, automatic operation
is started and the sliding door opens. In addi-
tion, you will hear two warning signals.
XTo close: pull door handle :in the direction
of the arrow.
or
XPress the 5button on the SmartKey for
longer than 0.5 seconds.
The sliding door is released from its lock and
automatic operation is started. The sliding
door closes.
If you press the 5button on the SmartKey,
you will hear two warning signals while the
doors close.
XTo interrupt automatic operation: pull door
handle :again.
or
XPress the 5button on the SmartKey again.
iIn unfavorable operating conditions, e.g.
frost, ice or heavy soiling, you can press and

the obstacle detection is less sensitive. To
stop the movement, release the sliding door
button.
Programing the key button for the
sliding door

ing doors, the 5sliding door button on the
key can only be programmed for one of the two
sliding doors. You can then open or close the
selected sliding door with the 5button on
the key.

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
