If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they could:
R open doors, thereby endangering other per-
sons or road users
R get out and be struck by oncomingt raffic
R operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion, for example, if they:
R release the parking brake
R shift the automatic transmission out of park
position Porshift manual transmission into
neutral
R start the engine
There is arisk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children and animals unattended in the vehi-
cle. Keep the keys out of the reach of children. G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There is ar isk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine running in enclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation. G
WARNING
Flammable materials introduced through
environmental influence or by animals can
ignite if in contact with the exhaust system or parts of the engine that heat up. There is arisk
of fire.
Carry out regular checkstom ake sure that
there are no flammable foreign materials in
the engine compartmen torinthe exhaust
system. General notes Vehicles with
apetrol engine: the catalytic
converter is preheated for up to 30 seconds
after acold start. The sound of the engine may
change during this time.

WARNING
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
If the engine speed is above the engine idling speed and you then engage transmission
position Dor R,t he vehicle may accelerate
suddenly. There is arisk of an accident.
When engaging transmission position Dor R,
always keep the brake pedal firmly depressed
and do not depress the accelerator pedal at
the same time.
! Vehicles with manualt
ransmission:
change gear in good time and avoid spinning
the wheels. You could otherwise damage the
vehicle.
Depress the accelerator carefully when pulling
away.
The vehicle locks centrally once you have pulled
away.T he locking knobs in the doors drop down. You can open the doors from the inside at any
time.
You can also deactivate the automatic locking
feature; see the Digital Owner's Manual.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: it is
only possible to shift the transmission from posi- tion Pto the desired position if you depress the
brake pedal. If you do not depress the brake
pedal, the DIRECT SELECT lever can still be
moved but the parking lock remains engaged.
i Vehicles with automatic transmission:
upshifts take place at higher engine speeds
after acold start. This helps the catalytic con-
verter to reach its operating temperature
more quickly.

Pulling away with atrailer To ensure that you do not roll backwards when
pulling away on an uphill slope, apply the electric
parking brake.

display is showing more
than 120 †. Adisplay
message may also
appear in the multifunc-
tion display and awarn-

longer being cooled sufficiently.
X Stop as soon as possible and allow the engine and the coolant to

coolant is too hot and the engine is no longer being cooled sufficiently.
X If the coolant temperature is below 120 †, you can continue driving
to the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
X Avoid heavy loads on the engine as you do so, e.g. driving in moun-
tainous terrain and stop-start traffic. DYNAMIC SELECTs

can
be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
Important safety notes AdBlue
®
is aw ater-solublef luid for the exhaust
gas aftertreatmentofd iesel engines. It is:
R non-toxic
R colourless and odourless
R non-flammable
If you open the AdBlue ®
tank, small amounts of
ammonia vapour may be released.
Ammonia vapours have apungent odour and are
particularlyi rritating to the skin, to mucous
membranes and to the eyes. You may experi-
ence aburning sensation in your eyes, nose and
throat. You may also experience coughing and
watery eyes.
Do not inhale any ammonia vapours that may be
released.O nly fill the AdBlue ®
tank in well-ven-
tilated areas. Do not swallow AdBlue
®
or let it come into con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing. Keep AdBlue ®
awayf rom children.
If you or others come into contact with AdBlue ®
,
observe the following:
R immediately rinse AdBlue ®
off your skin with
soap and water.
R if AdBlue ®
comes into contact with your eyes,
immediately rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Seek medical attention immediately.
R if AdBlue ®
is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly. Drink plenty of
water. Seek medical attention immediately.
R change immediately out of clothing that has
come into contact with AdBlue ®
.
! Only use AdBlue ®
in accordance with
ISO 22241. Do not mix any additives with
AdBlue ®
,a nd do not dilute AdBlue ®
with
water. This may destroy the BlueTEC exhaust
gas aftertreatments ystem.
! In order to fill the AdBlue ®
tank, the vehicle
must be parked on alevel surface. The
AdBlue ®
tank can only be filled as intended
with the vehicle parked on alevel surface.
Fluctuations in capacity will thus be avoided.
Filling avehicle standing on an uneven sur-
face is not permitted. There is adanger of
overfilling, which can cause damage to Blue-
TEC exhaust gas aftertreatmentc omponents.
! Surfaces which have come into contact with
AdBlue ®
while refilling should be rinsed
immediately with water, or remove AdBlue ®
with amoist cloth and cold water. If AdBlue ®
has already crystallised,u seasponge and
cold water to clean the area. AdBlue ®
residue
