WARNING Risk of accident and injur
y due
to leaving children unattended in the vehi-
cle
If children are les unatt
ended in the vehicle,
they could, in particular:
= open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users.
= get out and be struck by oncoming traPc.
= operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example.
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion by, for example:
= releasing the parking brake.
= changing the transmission position.
= starting the vehicle. 
Never leave children unattended in the
v
ehicle. 
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
k
ey with you and lock the vehicle. 
Keep the vehicle key out of the reach of
c
hildren. Use the DIRECT SELECT lever to switch the trans-
mission position. The cur

Proceed as follows if you want the automatic
transmission to remain in neutral i even if the
vehicle is switched oM or the driver's door is

* NOTE Damag
e due to engaging park posi-
tion j while the vehicle is rolling If you
shis t

j while the vehicle is rolling, the transmis-
sion may be damaged. 
If the vehicle is rolling, do not open a
door

Only engage the park position j when
t

Observe the notes on parking the vehicle
( pag

e 230). 
Depress the brake pedal until the vehicle
comes t

o a standstill. 
When the vehicle is at a standstill, press but-

on j.
When the transmission position display shows
j, the park position is engaged. If the trans-
mission position display j does not appear,
apply the parking brake and secure the vehicle
to prevent it from rolling away.
% Depending on the situation, it may take a
shor
t time until j is engaged. Therefore,
always pay attention to the transmission posi-
tion display.
Park position j is eng
aged automatically if one
of the following conditions is met:
= You switch the stationary vehicle oM in trans-
mission position h or k.
= You open the driver's door when the vehicle is
at a standstill in transmission position h or
k.
= When the vehicle is rolling, you switch if oM in
transmission position h or k and bring it to

the vehicle is stationary or when the vehicle is
rolling and the transmission position is i.
= Engaging park position j automatically is
required by the vehicle.
% Park position j can be eng
aged automati-
cally when the vehicle is rolling very slowly.
% To manoeuvre with an open driver's door,
open t

he driver's door while at a standstill and
engage transmission position h or k again.

*
NOTE Mer
cedes-AMG vehicles 
Observe the notes in the Supplement.
Y
ou could otherwise fail to recognise
dangers. With an anticipatory driving style, Glide mode
helps y

ou to reduce fuel consumption.
Glide mode is characterised by the following: = The combustion engine is disconnected from
the drivetrain and continues to run in neutral.
= The transmission position display h is shown
in green.
= Vehicles with 48 V on-board electrical system:
The combustion engine can be switched oM.
All of the vehicle functions remain active.
Glide mode is activated if the following conditions
are met:
= Drive program  is selected .
= The speed is within a suitable range. Driving and parking
203

=
The r oad's course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
= There is no trailer hitched up to the trailer
hitch, and no bicycle rack Ntted.
= You do not depress the accelerator or brake
pedal (except for light brake applications).
% Glide mode can also be activated if you have
select
ed the "Eco" setting for the drive in the
drive program .
Glide mode will be deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no long
er met.
Glide mode can also be prevented by the following
parameters:
= Incline
= Downhill gradient
= Temperature
= Height
= Speed
= Operating status of the engine
= TraPc situation Function of 4MATIC
4MA
TIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
Together with ESP n
and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves
the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven
wheel spins due to insuPcient traction. You can display the current distribution of drive
t
orque to all four wheels on the head-up display
and in the right-hand display range of the instru- ment display. The fuller the respective scale, the
higher t

he corresponding drive torque.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override
the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and traPc conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.
% In wintry road conditions, the maximum eMect
of 4MA
TIC can be achieved only if you use
winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if
necessary. Refuelling

WARNING Risk of Nr
e or explosion from
fuel
Fuels are highly Oammable.204
Driving and parking


Fire, naked Oames, smoking and cr eating
sparks must be avoided. 
Before refuelling, switch oM t
he vehicle
and, if Ntted, the stationary heater and
keep switched oM during Nlling. &
WARNING Risk of injur
y from fuels
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to your
healt
h. 
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into
cont

act with skin, eyes or clothing. 
Do not inhale fuel vapour. 
Keep children away from fuel. 
Keep doors and windows closed during
t

he refuelling process.
If you or other people come into contact with
fuel, obser
ve the following: 
Immediately rinse fuel oM y
our skin with
soap and water. 
If fuel comes into contact with your eyes,
immediat
ely rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention
immediat
ely. 
If you swallow fuel, seek medical atten-
tion immediat

ely. Do not induce vomit-
ing. 
Change immediately out of clothing that
has come int
o contact with fuel. &
WARNING Risk of Nr
e and explosion due
to electrostatic charge
Electrostatic charge can ignite fuel vapour. 
Before you open the fuel Nller cap or
t
ake hold of the pump nozzle, touch the
metallic vehicle body. 
To avoid creating another electrostatic
c

harge, do not get into the vehicle again
during the refuelling process. &
WARNING Risk of Nr
e from fuel mixture
Vehicles with a diesel engine: If you mix diesel fuel with petrol, the
Oash
point of t
he fuel mixture is lower than that of
pure diesel fuel.
While the vehicle is running, component parts
in the exhaust system may overheat without
warning. 
Never refuel using petrol. 
Never mix petrol with diesel fuel. *
NOTE Damag
e caused by the wrong fuel Vehicles with a petrol engine:
Ev

en small amounts of the wrong fuel could
result in damage to the fuel system, the
engine and the emission control system. 
Only refuel using unleaded, sulphur-free
spar
k-ignition engine fuel that conforms
to European EN 228, or an equivalent
speciNcation.
Fuel of this speciNcation ma
y contain up to
10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel. Driving and parking
205

Never refuel with one of the following fuels:
= Diesel
= R
egular petrol with an octane number
lower than 91 RON
= Petrol with more than 10% ethanol by vol-
ume, e.g. E15, E20, E85, E100
= Petrol with more than 3% methanol by vol-
ume, e.g. M15, M30
= Petrol with additives containing metal
If you have accidentally refuelled with the
wrong fuel: 
Do not switch on the vehicle. 
Consult a q
ualiNed specialist workshop.*
