Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special- ist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
! There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
kerb or an unpaved road
R you drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g.
a kerb, slowing thresholds or a pothole in
the road
R a heavy object strikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, underbody,
chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be dam-
aged without the damage being visible. Com- ponents damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail or, in the case of an accident, no lon-
ger withstand the strain they are designed to withstand.
If the underbody panelling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody panelling. If these materials
come into contact with hot parts of the
exhaust system, they can catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If, on continuing your jour-
ney, you notice that driving safety is impaired,
stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions. In such
cases, consult a qualified specialist work-
shop. Declarations of conformity

Important safety notes
United Kingdom only: G
WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the outside, the double lock function is activated as stand-
ard. It is then not possible to open the doors
from inside the vehicle. You can deactivate the
double lock function by deactivating the interior
motion sensor (Y page 62). The doors can then
be opened from the inside after the vehicle has
been locked from the outside. The anti-theft
alarm system is triggered if the door is opened
from the inside. Switch off the alarm
(Y page 60).
All countries: G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they can:
R open doors and endanger other persons or
road users
R climb out and be injured by the traffic
R operate vehicle equipment and, for exam-
ple, trap themselves.
Children could also set the vehicle in motion, for example by:
R releasing the parking brake
R shifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
R starting the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key
with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave children unattended in the vehicle. Always
keep the key out of reach of children.
G
WARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the key, the key could be unintentionally turned in the
ignition lock. This could cause the engine to
be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
key. Remove any bulky keyrings before insert-
ing the key into the ignition lock.
! Keep the key away from strong magnetic
fields. Otherwise, the remote control function could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin-
ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the key: R with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can impair the key's function.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start function: do
not keep the key on the luggage compartment
cover or in the luggage compartment. Other-
wise, the key may not be detected, e.g. when
starting the engine using the Start/Stop button.
A check that periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in or in the
direct vicinity of the vehicle. This occurs, for
example:
R during engine start
R during driving
R when using HANDS-FREE ACCESS
R when the external door handles are touched
R during convenience closing Key

KEYLESS-GO. To do this, you need to carry the
key with you. You can combine the KEYLESS-GO functions with the functions of a conventional
key. Unlock the vehicle by using KEYLESS-GO,
for instance, and lock it using the &button
on the key.
The driver's door and the door at which the han- dle is used must both be closed. The key must be
outside the vehicle. When locking or unlocking
with KEYLESS-GO, the distance between the key and the corresponding door handle must not be greater than 1 m.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle.

KeyOpening and closing

!
Do not warm up the engine when the vehicle
is stationary. Drive off immediately. Avoid
high engine speeds and driving at full throttle
until the engine has reached its operating
temperature.
Only shift the automatic transmission to the
desired drive position when the vehicle is sta- tionary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drive
wheels when pulling away on slippery roads.
You could otherwise damage the drive train.
! During a cold start with low engine oil tem-
peratures (below 0 †), the maximum engine
speed is restricted in order to protect the
engine. To protect the engine and maintain
smooth engine operation, avoid driving at full throttle when the engine is cold. Key positions
Start/Stop button General notes
All vehicles are equipped with a Start/Stop but-
ton.
The Start/Stop button is located on the centre
console and is illuminated when the vehicle is
unlocked.
The key must be in the vehicle.
Pressing the Start/Stop button several times in
succession corresponds to the different key
positions in the ignition lock. This is only the
case if you are not depressing the brake pedal.
If you depress the brake pedal and press the
Start/Stop button, the engine starts immedi-
ately.
A check which periodically establishes a radio
connection between the vehicle and the key
determines whether a valid key is in the vehicle. This occurs, for example, when starting the
engine.
If there is a key in the ignition lock, this takes
precedence over the KEYLESS-GO start func-
tion.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
R the key must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the key or
KEYLESS-GO (Y page 64) Do not keep the key:
R
with electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
R with metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal film
R inside metallic objects, e.g. a metal case
This can affect the key's functionality.
If you lock the vehicle with the key's remote
control or with KEYLESS-GO, after a short time:
R you will not be able to switch on the ignition
with the Start/Stop button
R you will not be able to start the engine with the
Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the driver's door (Y page 70), you can con-
tinue to start the engine with the Start/Stop
button.
The engine can be switched off while the vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the Start/
Stop button for three seconds. This function
operates independently of the ECO start/stop
automatic engine switch-off function.
Key positions with the Start/Stop button When you switch on the ignition, all of the indi-
cator lamps in the instrument cluster light up.
Further information on situations where an indi-
cator lamp either fails to go out after starting the engine or lights up while driving (Y page 196).
If Start/Stop button :has not yet been
pressed, this corresponds to the key being
removed from the ignition. 102
