Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operating efficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified
specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels
as well as accessories relevant to safety
which have not been approved by Mercedes- Benz. This could lead to malfunctions in
safety-relevant systems, e.g. the brake sys-
tem. Only use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts
or parts of equal quality. Only use tyres,
wheels and accessories that have been spe-
cifically approved for your vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and con-
version parts and accessories that have been
specifically approved for your vehicle for their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is
unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz
therefore accepts no responsibility for the
use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they have been officially approved or
independently approved by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are only officially
approved for installation or modification if
they comply with legal requirements. This
also applies to some other countries. All gen- uine Mercedes-Benz parts meet the approval
requirements. The use of non-approved parts
may invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit.
This is the case:
R if they cause a change of the vehicle type
from that for which the vehicle's general
operating permit was granted
R if other road users could be endangered
R if the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
Always specify the vehicle identification num- ber (VIN) (Y page 402) when ordering genu-
ine Mercedes-Benz parts. Owner's Manual

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 25). Exterior lighting
General notes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom- mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirements and self-imposed obli-
gations. Driving abroad
General notes If your journey takes you to countries where
vehicles are driven on the opposite side of the
road to the country in which the vehicle is
registered, your headlamps must be switched to symmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border (only vehicles
with Intelligent Light System). This prevents
oncoming traffic from being dazzled. Sym-
metrical lights do not illuminate as large an
area of the edge of the carriageway.
Vehicles with bi-xenon or halogen head-
lamps It is not necessary to switch your headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam when driving in
countries where vehicles are driven on the
opposite side of the road to the country in
which the vehicle is registered. Legal require- ments are fulfilled without switching the
headlamps to symmetrical dipped beam.
Vehicles with Intelligent Light System Before crossing the border, set the head-
lamps to symmetrical dipped beam and after
returning back to asymmetrical dipped beam via the "Dipped-beam headlamps for driving
on the right/left" function in the on-board
computer (Y page 259).
If the headlamps are converted to symmetri-
cal dipped beam, the "motorway mode" and
"extended range foglamps" functions are not
available. Setting the exterior lighting

The hazard warning lamps switch on auto-
matically if:
R an airbag is deployed or
R the vehicle decelerates rapidly from a
speed of above 70 km/h and comes to a
standstill
The hazard warning lamps switch off auto-
matically if the vehicle reaches a speed of
above 10 km/ha gain after a full brake appli-
cation.
The hazard warning lamps continue to oper-
ate even if the ignition is switched off. Intelligent Light System
General notes The Intelligent Light System is a system that
adjusts the headlamps automatically to suit
the prevailing driving and weather conditions.
It offers advanced functions for improved illu-
mination of the road surface, e.g. depending
on the vehicle speed or weather conditions.
The system includes the active light function, cornering light function, motorway mode and
extended range foglamps. The system is only active when it is dark.
You can activate or deactivate the "Intelligent
Light System" function using the on-board
computer (Y page 259).
Active light function The active light function is a system that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movements of the front wheels. In this way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
you are driving. This allows you to recognise
pedestrians, cyclists and animals.
Active:
when the lights are switched on.
Cornering light function The cornering light function improves the illu-
mination of the road over a wide angle in the direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds below 40 km/h
and switch on the turn signal or turn the
steering wheel.
R if you are driving at speeds between
40 km/ha nd 70 km/h and turn the steer-
ing wheel.
The cornering light function may remain lit for
a short time, but is automatically switched off after no more than three minutes.

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 25). Overview of climate control systems
General notes
Observe the settings recommended on the
following pages. The windows could other-
wise mist up.
To prevent the windows from misting up:
R switch off climate control only briefly
R activate air-recirculation mode only briefly
R activate the "Cooling with air dehumidifica-
tion" function
R activate the windscreen demisting function
briefly, if required
The air-conditioning system/
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
regulates the temperature and the humidity
of the vehicle interior and filters undesirable
substances from the air.
The air-conditioning system/
THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control
can only be operated when the engine is run-
ning. Optimum operation is only achieved
with the side windows and panorama sliding
sunroof closed.
The residual heat function can only be acti-
vated or deactivated with the ignition
switched off (Y page 155).
Always keep the ventilation flaps behind the
side panelling clear (Y page 136). Otherwise
the vehicle will not be ventilated correctly. i
Ventilate the vehicle for a brief period
during warm weather, e.g. using the con-
venience opening feature (Y page 102).
This will speed up the cooling process and
the desired interior temperature will be
reached more quickly.
i The integrated filter filters out most par-
ticles of dust and soot and completely fil-
ters out pollen. With THERMOTRONIC auto-
matic climate control, gaseous pollutants
and odours will also be reduced. A clogged
filter reduces the amount of air supplied to the vehicle interior. For this reason, you
should always observe the interval for
replacing the filter, which is specified in the
Service Booklet. As this depends on envi-
ronmental conditions, e.g. heavy air pollu-
tion, the interval may be shorter than stated in the Service Booklet.
i Vehicles with auxiliary heating:
under
certain environmental conditions, the
residual heat function may be activated
automatically an hour after the key has
been removed in order to dry the automatic climate control. When the automatic cli-
mate control drying function is active, the
blue LED lamp is lit in the rocker switch in
the centre console. The vehicle is then ven-
tilated for 30 minutes.
Vehicles without auxiliary heating:
under certain environmental conditions,
the residual heat function may be activated automatically an hour after the key has
been removed in order to dry the automatic
climate control. The vehicle is then ventila-
ted for 30 minutes. 144
