phone MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT ROADSTER 2016 Owners Manual

Welcome to the world of Mercedes-Benz
Before you drive off for the first time, read this
Owner's Manual carefully and familiarise your-
self with your vehicle. For your own safety and a longer vehicle life, follow the instructions and
warning notices in this manual. Disregarding
them may result in damage to the vehicle or
personal injury.
The equipment or model designation of your
vehicle may vary according to:
R model
R order
R country variant
R availability
The illustrations in this manual show a left-hand-
drive vehicle. On right-hand-drive vehicles, the
layout of components and controls differs
accordingly.
Mercedes-Benz is constantly updating its vehi-
cles to the state of the art.
Mercedes-Benz therefore reserves the right to
introduce changes in the following areas:
R design
R equipment
R technical features
Consequently, the description may differ from
your vehicle in some cases.
The following are integral parts of the vehicle:
R Digital Owner's Manual
R Printed Owner's Manual
R Service Booklet
R Equipment-dependent supplements
Keep these documents in the vehicle at all
times. If you sell the vehicle, always pass all
documents on to the new owner.
Your Owner's Manuals: Digital – in the vehicle
The Digital Owner's Manual provides com-
prehensive and specifically adapted infor-
mation on your vehicle's equipment and
multimedia system. It contains informative animations, individual language settings
and an intuitive search function. Printed – in the vehicle
In addition to this manual and the afore-
mentioned digital media, you also have the option to obtain a comprehensive printed
version of the supplement for your multi- media system from your Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Digital – on the internet
The online Owner's Manual provides easy
access to all information regarding your
vehicle and multimedia system. It also pro-
vides helpful animations, interesting back-
ground information and a wide array of
search options. Digital – as an app
Using the Mercedes-Benz Guides app, you
can view all the information on your vehicle and multimedia system via mobile internet or download it to use without internet

lets. Please note that the Mercedes-Benz Guides app
