Mercedes-Benz AGcannot, despite carefully de vel-
oping vehicle systems, comple tely rule out the
interaction of vehicle systems with elect ronic med-
ical aids such as ca rdiac pacemake rs.
In addition, there are components built into the
ve hicle that, rega rdless of the operating status of
yo ur vehicle, can generate magnetic /elds on a par
with permanent magnets. These /elds can be
fo und, forex ample, in the area around the multi-
media and sound system or also in the seating
area, depending on theve hicle equipment.
Fo rth is reason, thefo llowing can occur in isolated
cases, depending on the aids used:
R medical aids malfunctioning
R adverse health e.ects
Obser vethe no tes and warnings of the manufac-
turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the
device manufacturer and/or your doctor. If there is
continuing uncer tainty concerning the possibility
of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-Benz AGre
commends using only fewelectrical vehicle sys-

If th eve hicle is predominantly used in short-dis-
ta nce driving, a fault in the automatic cleaning
function of the diesel particulate /lter can occur.
Due tothis, fuel may also accumulate inthe engine
oil and cause engine failure.
During automatic cleaning, extremely hot exhaust
ga ses escape from theex haust pipe. Main tain a
distance of at least 1 m toother objects, e.g.
par kedve hicles, in order toavo id material damage.
If yo u mainly drive short distances, you should
drive on a mo torw ay or go for a country drive for
20 minutes every 500 km. This facilitates the
re ge neration of the diesel particulate /lter.

driving, the brake system may overheat.
This increases the braking distance and the
brake system can even fail. #
Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time while
driving. *

On long and steep downhill gradients you should
obser vethefo llowing inst ructions:
R invehicles with an automatic transmission,
shiT down toshiT ranges 2 2or 1 1in good time
so that the engine is running at a medium to
high engine speed (/ page 143).
R invehicles with a manual transmission, shiT
down toa lo werge ar in good time, so that the
engine is running at a medium tohigh engine
speed.
% Change the shiT range in good time when
cruise control or the limiter are activated.
Obser vethe driving tips (/ page 137).
Yo uth ereby make use of the braking e.ect of the
engine and do not ha vetobrake as oTen tomain-
ta in the speed. This relie vesth e load on the
service brake and pr events the brakes from over-
heating and wearing tooqu ickl y.

If th e brakes ha vebeen subjected toa heavy load,
do not stop theve hicle immediatel y.Drive on for a
short while. The brakes cool down more quickly in
th e air0o w.
If th e brakes ha vebeen used only moderatel y,you
should occasionally test their e.ectiveness. Todo
th is, brake more /rmly from a higher speed while
paying attention tothe tra1c conditions. The
brakes will grip better as a result.

If yo u ha vebeen driving for a long time in heavy
ra in without braking, there may be a dela yed
re sponse when you /rst apply the brakes. This may
also occur aTer driving thro ugh a car wash or deep
wa ter. Yo u must depress the brake pedal more
/rml y.Maintain a greater distance totheve hicle in
front.
While paying attention tothe tra1c conditions, you
should brake theve hicle /rml yaTer driving on a
we tro ad sur face or thro ugh a car wash. This heats
th e brake disks so that they dry more quickl y,
which pr otects them against cor rosion. 138 138
