Opening and closing

If you use the supplied 12 A charging cable to
charge a high-voltage battery:
Rthe charge time increases considerably
Relectrical consumption increases consider-
ably
Where possible, charge the high-voltage bat-
tery at a charging station (
Ypage 149). Only
then can certified electrical energy consump-
tion levels be reached.
iThe charging process can vary depending
on the charging station. Therefore, always
observe the local information.
Stowing the charging cable
The charging cable can be stowed in a bag in
the trunk of the vehicle. To do so, the bag
must be secured to the cargo tie-down rings
using the retaining strap provided.

For information on problems relating to the
charging process, see (
Ypage 151).
Setting the maximum charge current
GWARNING
If the charge current draw via a mains socket
is too high during the charging process, the
external electrical system may overheat.
There is a risk of fire.
Before beginning the charging process, check
the maximum permissible charge current
locally. Consult a qualified expert to do so
where necessary.
If necessary, adjust your vehicle's settings.
!An excessive charge current can blow a
fuse or lead to overheating of the external
power supply. Check whether the external
power supply is compatible with the set

Cargo compartment enlargement
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for-
wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
RThe vehicle occupant would thereby be
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt can no longer offer the intended
level of protection and could even cause
injuries.
RObjects or loads in the trunk/cargo com-
partment cannot be restrained by the seat
backrest.
There is an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged.
!Before folding the backrest in the rear
compartment forwards, make sure that the rear compartment armrest and the
cupholder are folded in. They may other-
wise be damaged.
Observe the loading guidelines (
Ypage 242).
The left-hand and right-hand rear seat backr-
ests can be folded forwards separately to
increase the cargo compartment capacity.
Folding the rear seat backrest forwards
and back
Folding the rear seat backrests forward
XFully insert the backrest head restraints if
necessary (

=Rear fender
iOn the rear fenders, it is recommended to
position the antenna on the side of the
vehicle closest to the center of the road.
Use the Technical Specification ISO/TS
21609 when retrofitting RF transmitters
(Road Vehicles - EMC guidelines for installa-
tion of aftermarket radio frequency transmit-
ting equipment). Observe the legal require-
ments for retrofittings.
If your vehicle has installations for two-way
radio equipment, use the power supply or
antenna connections intended for use with
the basic wiring. Be sure to observe the man- ufacturer's additional instructions when
installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or antenna posi-
tions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at
the base of the antenna must not exceed the
following values:
WavebandMaximum

sion output of up to 100 mW
RRF transmitters with transmitter frequen-
cies in the 380 - 410 MHz waveband and a
maximum transmission output of up to 2 W
(trunked radio/Tetra)
