Electrolyte may escape if the glass in an auto-

tohealth and cau-
ses ir rita tion. It must not come into contact
with your skin, eyes, respiratory or gans or
clo thing or be swallo wed. #
Ifyo u come into contact with electrolyte,
obser vethefo llowing:
R Immediate lyrinse the electrolyte
from your skin with water and seek
medical attention.
R If electrolyte comes into contact with
your eyes, immediately rinse them
th oroughly with clean water and seek
medical attention.
R Ifth e electrolyte is swallo wed, imme-
diately rinse your mouth out thor-

medical attention immediatel y.
R Immediately change out of clo thing
which has been contaminated with
electrolyte.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, seek

R The vehicle is equipped with a purely elect ric
drive system and de velops considerably lo wer
ve hicle noise emissions than vehicles with a
combustion engine.
It is forth is reason that theve hicle is equip-
ped with a sound generator, which ser ves as
an acoustic vehicle warning system (A VAS).
R The sound generator generates speed-depend-
ent vehicle noise emissions when driving
fo rw ard or backing up at a speed of up to
around 30 km/h.
This helps other road users, particular ly
pedest rians and cyclists, tohear your vehicle
better. R

When
theve hicle nears an event, ECO Assist will
calculate the optimal speed for minimal energy
consum ption based on the distance and speed.
"Foot o. the accelerator" recommendation 3will
appear on the inst rument displa y.
If yo uta ke your foot o. the accelerator pedal in
good time, there maining segments on the display
will successively turn green until theeve nt sh own

energy consum ption. The vehicle will recuperate
autonomously and thus charge the high-voltage
batter y.
% You can also manually increase or reduce
re cuperation. Ho wever, ECO Assist is availa-
ble only in thehà setting (/ page 156).
If th ere is no response to"Foot o. the accelera-

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available without
active route guidance. Not all information and
tra1c situations can be fore seen. The quality
depends on theav ailable map data.
ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible
fo rke eping a safe distance from theve hicle in
front, forve hicle speed and for braking in good
time. You must be ready tobrake at all times ir re-
specti veof whe ther the system is active.
The system may be impaired or may not function

The 0exible all-wheel distribution of the 4MATIC
means the drive is alw ays ideal lydist ributed
between bo thaxles. Depending on the situation,
only the front axle or only there ar axle can be
driven, or the drive can be distributed continu-
ously between bo thaxles.
This means that recuperation can be used even
more e.ectively and thera nge of theve hicle can
be increased (/ page 155).
To get her with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsu1cient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor override
th e la wsof ph ysics. It cannot take into account
ro ad, weather or tra1c conditions. 4MATIC is only
an aid. You are responsible especially for main-
ta ining a safe distance from theve hicle in front, fo
rve hicle speed, for braking in good time and for
st ay ing in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum e.ect
of the 0exible all-wheel distribution can be
achie ved only if you use winter tyres (M+S
tyres), with snow chains if necessar y. Char
