nning-in no tes To
preser vethe engine during thefirs t1, 500 km:
R Drive at varying road speeds and engine
speeds.
R Do not drive at speeds greater than
14 0 km/h.
R Drive theve hicle in drive program A
or ;.
R Shift tothe next highest gear at theve ry lat‐
est when the needle reaches the last third
before there d area in there v counter.
R Do not shift down a gear manually in order to
brake.
R Avoid overstraining theve hicle, e.g. driving at
full thro ttle.
R Do not depress the accelera tor pedal past
th e pressure point (kickdown).
R Only increase the engine speed gradually and

a qu alified specialist workshop. *
NO
TEReduced battery life due tofre‐
qu ent short-dis tance trips The
12V battery may not be suf ficiently
ch arge d when theve hicle is used only for
short-dis tance trips. This reduces the life of
th e batter y. #
Drive longer di stances regular lyto
ch arge the batter y. Note
s on driving with a roof load, trailer or
fully laden vehicle
When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or
trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu‐
pied vehicle, theve hicle's driving and steering
ch aracteristics change. Yo
u should bear thefo llowing in mind:
R Do not exceed the permissible roof load and
to wing capacity. Also obser vethete ch nical
da ta inthe printed Owner's Manual.
R Evenly distribute thero of load, and place
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply
with the no tes on loading theve hicle
(/ page 108).
R Drive attentivel y,and avoid sudden lypulling
aw ay, braking and steering as well as rapid
cornering.
Note s on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking ef fect is limited on salt-trea ted
ro ads.
Therefore, obse rveth efo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
conside rably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front To
remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad
sur face.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts
R avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully

R Afew segments light up: theeve nt ahead is
nea r.
R Many segments light up: theeve nt ahead is
fur ther aw ay.
When theve hicle nears theeve nt, ECO Assi st
will calculate the optimal speed for maximum
fuel economy and recuperati veenergy based on
th e dis tance, speed and gradient. The Foot off
the accelerator 3message will appear on the
multifunction displa y.The firs t segments in front
of theve hicle will turn green. The remaining seg‐
ments will initially stay white. If youta ke your
fo ot off the accelerator pedal in good time, the
re maining segments on the display will succes‐
sively turn green until theeve nt shown is

The event will be shown for a short time af ter it
has been passed. If there is no response tothe Foot off the accelerator
prompt,th e segments
will remain white.
If th eeve nt in volves a vehicle in front, all seg‐
ments will immediately turn green once there is
a re sponse totheFoot off the accelerator

Fo r active ECO Assist in drive program ;,
symbol 3will appear on the multifunction dis‐
play and on the head-up display beside transmis‐
sion position h. Symbol3will also appear
when the assis tant displ ayis not selec ted.
If th e sy stem does not inter vene du ring the

ECO Assist is active only in drive programs ;
and A.
Sy stem limits
ECO Assist can function even more precisely if
th ero ute is adhered towhen route guidance is
active. The basic function is also available with‐
out active route guidance. Notall information
and traf fic situations can be fore seen. The qual‐
ity depends on the map data. ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is
responsi‐
ble forke eping a safe dis tance from theve hicle
in front, forve hicle speed and for braking in
good time. The driver must be ready tobrake at
all times ir respective of whe ther the sy stem
inter venes.
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R If visibility is poor, e.g. due toinsuf ficient illu‐
mination of thero ad, high lyvariable shade
conditions, rain, sno w,fog or heavy spr ay.
R Ifth ere is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
di re ct sunlight or reflections.
R Ifth ere is dirt on the windscreen in the area
of the multifunction camera or the camera is
mis ted up, damaged or obscured.
R Ifro ad signs are hard todetect, e.g. due to
dirt, snow or insuf ficient lighting, or because
th ey are obscured.
R Ifth e information on the navigation sy stem's
digital map is incor rect or out of date.
R If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in
