Information about the charging time
(Y page 286)
If, after the charging process, the charging cable
is:
R left connected to the mains socket, the set
value will be used for the next charging proc-
ess.
R removed from the power socket, the values
will be reset to the minimum setting for the
next charging process. You may then need to
reset the values of the maximum charge cur-
rent.
If the charge current values that have been set
on the charging cable and the on-board com-
puter are different, the high-voltage battery is
charged using the lower value.
If the vehicle requires more time than usual to
charge the high-voltage battery, check:
R the settings of the maximum charge current
on the controls of the charging cable

must destroy documents containing the vehi-
cle verification code (VVC).
R If you have bought a used vehicle, it is possi-
ble that the previous owner still has access to
the "Vehicle Homepage". If in doubt, have a
new vehicle verification code (VVC) issued by
the Mercedes-Benz Center after purchase.
With the code you can set up access to your
vehicle, as described in the section "Setting
up a personal area" on the Vehicle Home-
page". There, you may also deactivate the
existing access of the previous owner.
Calling up functions in the "My
Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage" The "My Mercedes Electric - Vehicle Homepage"
allows you access to information about your
vehicle and its functions using remote query and
remote configuration. For example, climate con- trol can be activated using remote configuration
which means that it need not be set in the vehi- cle. Power for the climate control is primarily
supplied via the charging cable connected to the mains supply. In most cases, this does not
reduce the range. If climate control is activated,the condition of charge and thus the range may
be reduced. The "Vehicle Homepage" provides
you with information all about how to use your
vehicle.
If the vehicle is entered in your personal area of
the "Vehicle Homepage", you can also access
the following functions:
R request the current condition of charge of the
high-voltage battery
R program the departure time (Y page 163)
R order and activate the "Pre-entry climate con-
trol at departure time" function
If the vehicle is charging, the predicted charging
time and the predicted range will also be shown.
This data is estimated and may be influenced by
the following factors:
R outside temperature
R switched on consumers, e.g. climate control
and seat heating
R personal driving style
R road and traffic conditions
R route characteristics
Therefore, allow for a sufficient reserve. i
Information on additional functions and
operating instructions can be found on the
"Vehicle Homepage".
Connecting the vehicle to the Internet Via a radio module
This function is not available in all countries and requires an activated mbrace access.
You can use the "Vehicle Homepage" if the vehi-
cle has a connection to the Internet via a mobile phone. The radio module uses a mobile phone
connection and transmits the necessary data by
radio. The vehicle automatically recognizes
whether a connection to the Internet via the
radio module is possible or not. No presets are
necessary.
To enable the transfer of data via the mobile
communications module, you do not need a SIM
card.
i Restrictions in reception are possible if the
vehicle is in an underground car park, for
example. Restrictions may also occur in areas with poor mobile network coverage. Parking
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If you release the parking brake on uphill or
downhill gradients, the vehicle can begin to
move when in park position P. There is a risk
of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R prevent the parked vehicle from rolling on
uphill or downhill gradients by always
applying the parking brake.
R do not park the vehicle on uphill or downhill
gradients if the parking brake is malfunc-
tioning. 128
