High-voltage switch-off device
!
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
must only be switched off when the vehicle is stationary by specially trained technicians.
The vehicle's high-voltage electrical system
may otherwise be damaged. Your vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage
switch-off device :which can be used to
switch off the vehicle's high-voltage electrical
system.
Mobile phone aerial !
It is not permitted to retrofit a mobile phone
aerial.
trailer tow hitch !
It is not permitted to retrofit a trailer cou-
pling.
Warning Vehicles with an electric motor generate signif-
icantly less noise than vehicles with internal
combustion engines. As a result, your vehicle
may not be heard by other road users until it is
very close to them, or it may not be heard at all.
This is particularly the case if other road users
have not yet seen your vehicle but are instead
relying on hearing. Drive with particular care,
allowing for the possibility that other road users may behave unpredictably.
The vehicle can be equipped with a sound gen-
erator. The sound generator is activated so that
other road users can hear your vehicle better.
The sound generator is activated at speeds
under 30 km/h and switches off automatically
at higher speeds. Declarations of conformity
Wireless vehicle components The following information applies to all compo-
nents of the vehicle and the information sys-
tems and communication devices integrated
into the vehicle which receive and/or transmit
radio waves:
The components of this vehicle that receive
and/or transmit radio waves are compliant with
the basic requirements and all other relevant
conditions of Directive 1999/5/EC. You can
obtain further information from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Electromagnetic compatibility The electromagnetic compatibility of the vehicle
components has been checked and certified
according to the currently valid version of Reg-
ulation ECE-R 10. Diagnostics connection

the connection of diagnostic equipment at a
qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it can affect the
operation of the vehicle systems. This may
affect the operating safety of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not connect any equipment to a diagnos-
tics connection in the vehicle. G
WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a

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 69). The doors can then
be opened from the inside after the vehicle has
been locked from the outside. You can open the rear doors from inside the vehicle if they are not
secured by the child-proof locks (Y page 60).
The anti-theft alarm system is triggered if the
door is opened from the inside. Switch off the
alarm (Y page 68). G

ever, the ignition will not be switched on. and
the drive system cannot be started.
Start/Stop button General notes
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO are equipped with
keys featuring an integrated KEYLESS-GO func- tion and a detachable Start/Stop button.
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 drivesystem.
When you insert the Start/Stop button into the
ignition lock, the system needs approximately
two seconds recognition time. You can then use the Start/Stop button.
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 drive system starts
immediately.
To start the vehicle without actively using the
key:
R the Start/Stop button must be inserted in the
ignition lock
R the key must be in the vehicle
R the vehicle must not be locked with the key or
KEYLESS-GO (Y page 72)
Do not keep the KEYLESS-GO 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 functionality of KEYLESS-GO.
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 drive system
with the Start/Stop button until the vehicle is
unlocked again
If you lock the vehicle centrally using the button
on the front door (Y page 79), you can continue
to start the drive system with the Start/Stop
button.
The drive system can be switched off while the
vehicle is in motion by pressing and holding the
Start/Stop button for three seconds.

the mains socket
Charging cable Important safety notes
! Only use the charging cable to charge the
high-voltage battery. Do not use the charging
cable for other purposes. It may otherwise be damaged.
The vehicle is supplied with a three-phase 32 A
charging cable. A single-phase 13 A charging
cable (Switzerland: 16 A) can be optionally
ordered.
When charging the vehicle using the mains
socket, use the single-phase 13 A (Switzerland:
16 A) charging cable.
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 134).
If you use the supplied 13 A charging cable
(Switzerland: 16 A) as opposed to the 32 A
charging cable to charge the high-voltage bat-
tery:
R the charge time increases considerably
R electrical consumption increases considera-
bly
For this reason, always charge the high-voltage
battery from a wallbox (Y page 142) or at a
charging station (Y page 142). Only then can
certified electrical energy consumption levels
be reached.
i The charging process can vary depending on
the charging station. Therefore, always
observe the local information. High-voltage battery
139Driving and parking Z

i
Depending on the temperature, the engine
cooling system and battery cooling system
may audibly switch on when the charging
cable is connected or during the charging
process.
Removing the charging cable !
Before driving away, you must ensure that,
for your own safety and to avoid damage, the charging cable has been removed from the
vehicle socket. Otherwise, you cannot shift
the transmission out of position P.
When the charge level display reaches 100%,
the battery is fully charged (Y page 174).
The indicator lamps in the vehicle socket and on the charging cable may stay on for up to
30 seconds after the charging cable has been
disconnected.
When the battery is charged:
X Unlock the vehicle.
The Ý right indicator lamp Bon vehicle
socket Cgoes out. The Ìleft indicator
lamp Aon vehicle socket Clights up white.
X Remove the charging cable from vehicle
socket Cwithin 30 second s. Otherwise the
vehicle will relock the vehicle socket.
X Close socket cap =.
X Close the charge socket flap.
X Remove the charging cable from the mains
socket.
X Stow the charging cable safely in the vehicle
(Y page 140).
If the charging cable cannot be removed from
the vehicle socket, unlock the charge socket
flap manually using the emergency release
(Y page 143). Charging a high-voltage battery at a
charging station/wallbox
General notes When charging your vehicle from a wallbox, use
the three-phase 32 A charging cable supplied.
The charging cable is stored in a bag in the boot.
Only use charging cables that have been tested
and approved by the manufacturer for charging
the high-voltage battery in an electric vehicle.
Observe the "Important safety notes"
(Y page 134). Charging communication at a charging
station The charging station first has to be activated
before you can charge at a charging station. You
can activate the charging station by using an
RFID card or via telephone activation. Observe
the on-site operator instructions for the charg-
ing station.
When the vehicle is connected to the charging
station, information and details on technical
parameters are exchanged. It can thus take up
to 30 seconds for the charging process to begin.
