X To clean the windscreen on the inside:

Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system
to monitor the area on both sides of your
vehicle. It supports you when you change
lanes at speeds above 30 km/h. In each case,
a warning lamp appears in the exterior mirror
as soon as a vehicle is detected in the area
monitored. When you switch on the corre-
sponding turn signal prior to changing lanes,
you receive an optical and acoustic collision
warning. Blind Spot Assist uses two sensors
in the front bumper and four sensors in the
rear bumper. G
Risk of accident
Blind Spot Assist is only an aid and may not
detect all vehicles. Blind Spot Assist does not
relieve you of the responsibility of paying
attention.
Always pay attention to traffic conditions and
your surroundings. Otherwise, you may fail to
recognise dangers in time, could cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
! You must deactivate the radar sensor sys-
tem in certain countries and near radio
telescope facilities. Further information
can be found in the index under "Radar
sensor system".

tem*: you must deactivate the radar sensor 260

tracted from the traffic conditions, cause an
accident and injure yourself and others.
Two-way radios and fax equipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronics and,
thereby, jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle and your safety. Therefore, you
must only use this equipment if it is correctly
connected to a separate, reflection-free, exte-
rior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive electromagnetic radiation may
cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior aerial takes into
account current scientific discussions relat-
ing to the possible health risk posed by elec-
tromagnetic fields.
To ensure optimum reception quality for
mobile phones in the vehicle, and to minimise
mutual influences between the vehicle elec-
tronics and mobile phones, Mercedes-Benz
recommends the use of an approved exterior
aerial. An exterior aerial conducts the elec-
tromagnetic fields generated by a wireless
device to the exterior of the vehicle; the field
strength within the vehicle interior is lower
than in a vehicle that does not have an exte-
rior aerial.
i There are various mobile phone brackets
that may be fitted to your vehicle; in some
cases, these are country-specific. You can
obtain these mobile phone brackets from a
qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The functions and services available when
you use the phone depend on your mobile
phone model and service provider. Inserting the mobile phone
X
Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 277).
X Place the mobile phone bracket into the
pre-installed fitting; see the separate
mobile phone bracket fitting instructions.
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile
phone bracket; see the separate mobile
phone bracket fitting instructions.
If the mobile phone is inserted in the mobile
phone bracket, you can speak to the person
you are calling using the hands-free system.
You can operate the telephone using the
6 and~ buttons on the multi-function
steering wheel. You can operate other mobile
phone functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 222).
When you take the key out of the ignition lock,
the mobile phone stays on but you can no
longer use the hands-free system.
If you are making a call and you would like to
take the key out of the ignition lock, first
remove the mobile phone from the bracket.
Otherwise, the call will be ended. Infrared reflecting windscreen*
The infrared reflecting glass prevents the
vehicle interior from becoming too hot. It also
blocks radio waves up into the gigahertz
range. 284

X Keep the transmitter buttons depressed.
X Point the garage door's remote control with
the transmitter towards the left-hand side
of the rear-view mirror from a distance of 5
to 20 cm.
i The distance between the garage door's
remote control and the integrated garage
door opener depends on the system of the
garage door drive. You might require sev-
eral attempts. You should test every posi-
tion for at least 20 seconds before trying
another position.
X Keep the transmitter button on the garage
door's remote control depressed until indi-
cator lamp :starts to flash rapidly.
The programming was successful if indica-
tor lamp :flashes rapidly.
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
garage door's remote control and the inte-
grated remote control.
If indicator lamp :goes out after approx-
imately 20 seconds and did not flash rapidly
before this:
X Release the transmitter buttons on the
integrated and portable remote controls.
X Repeat the programming procedure. When
doing so, change the distance between the
garage door's remote control and the trans-
mitter buttons in the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, after programming you must synchronise the remote control integrated
in the rear-view mirror with the garage door
system receiver.
You will find further information in the
garage door opening system's operating
instructions, e.g. the sections on "Synchro-
nising the transmitter" or "Registering a
new transmitter". You can also call the hot-
line mentioned above.
Opening or closing the garage door Once programmed, the integrated remote
control will assume the function of the garage
door system's remote control. Please read
the operating instructions for the garage door
system.

pressed. The transmission will be halted
after a maximum of 20 seconds and indi-
cator lamp :will flash. Press the trans-
mitter button again, if necessary.
Clearing the remote control memory X

Care and cleaning products
Regular care of your vehicle is a condition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
To care for your vehicle, use the care and
cleaning products recommended and
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
! For cleaning your vehicle, do not use any
of the following:
R dry, coarse or rough cloths
R abrasive cleaning agents
R solvents
R cleaning agents containing solvents
and do not scour.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective
films with hard objects, e.g. rings or ice
scrapers. You can otherwise scratch or
damage the surfaces or protective films. H
Environmental note
Dispose of empty packaging, cleaning cloths
and polishing wads in an environmentally
responsible manner.
! Do not park the vehicle for a long period
of time directly after cleaning, especially if
the wheels have just been cleaned with a
wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
rapid corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. After cleaning, park
the vehicle when it is at normal operating
temperature. Exterior care
Automatic car wash G
Risk of accident
The vehicle is braked when Hold or Distronic
Plus* is activated. Therefore, deactivate Hold
and Distronic Plus before the vehicle is
washed in an automatic car wash.
You can wash the vehicle in an automatic car
wash from the beginning.
! We recommend automatic car washes
with an adjustable 36
high-pressure pre-
cleaning program. In car washes that use
high water pressures, there is a danger that
a small quantity of water may leak into the
vehicle.
If the vehicle is very dirty, pre-wash it before
cleaning it in an automatic car wash.
! Make sure that the automatic car wash is
suitable for the size of the vehicle. Fold in
the exterior mirrors before the vehicle is
washed. There is otherwise a risk of dam-
age to the exterior mirrors.
! When washing your vehicle in a tow-
through car wash, make sure that the auto-
matic transmission is in position N, other-
wise the vehicle could be damaged.
