Introduction

Operating safety

Proper use of the vehicle

Proper use of the vehicle requires that you

are familiar with the following information

and rules:

앫the safety precautions in this manual

앫the “Technical data” section in this

manual

앫traffic rules and regulations

앫motor vehicle laws and safety stan-

dards

Warning! G

Work improperly carried out on electronic

components and associated software could

cause them to cease functioning. Because

the vehicle’s electronic components are in-

terconnected, any modifications made may

produce an undesired effect on other sys-

tems. Electronic malfunctions could seri-

ously impair the operating safety of your

vehicle.

Contact your authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center for repairs or modifications to elec-

tronic components.

Other improper work or modifications on the

vehicle could also have a negative impact on

the operating safety of the vehicle.

Some safety systems only function while the

engine is running. You should therefore nev-

er turn off the engine while driving.

Warning! G

Heavy blows against the vehicle underbody

or tires/wheels, for example when running

over an obstacle, road debris or a pothole,

may cause serious damage to and impair the

operating safety of your vehicle. If you feel a

sudden strong vibration or ride disturbance,

or you suspect that damage to your vehicle

has occurred, you should turn on your haz-

ard warning flashers, carefully slow down,

and drive with caution to an area which is a

safe distance from the road.

Inspect the vehicle underbody and

tires/wheels for possible damage. If the ve-

hicle appears unsafe, have it towed to the

nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center

or other qualified maintenance or repair fa-

cility for further inspection or repairs.

Warning! G

Various warning labels are attached to your

vehicle. These warning labels are intended

to make you and others aware of various

risks. You should not remove any of these

warning labels unless explicitly instructed to

do so by information on the label itself. Re-

moval of any of these labels may cause you

and others to be unaware of certain risks

which may result in an accident and/or per-

sonal injury.

The following text is published as required of manufacturers under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 pursuant to the

“National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966”.

Reporting safety defects

If you believe that your vehicle has a defect which could cause a crash or could cause injury or death, you should immediately inform

the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in addition to notifying Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.

If NHTSA receives similar complaints, it may open an investigation, and if it finds that a safety defect exists in a group of vehicles, it

may order a recall and remedy campaign. However, NHTSA cannot become involved in individual problems between you, your dealer,

or Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC.

go to http://www.safercar.gov; or write to: Administrator, NHTSA, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590. You can also
