Important notes R
If the KEYLESS GO key is removed from the
vehicle (in luggage or an article of clothing,
for instance), it will no longer be possible
to lock or start the vehicle.
R If the KEYLESS GO key is removed from the
vehicle while the engine is running, e.g. if
the front passenger leaves the vehicle with
the KEYLESS GO key, the following mes-
sage will appear in the multi-function dis-
play as you pull away: Key not detec-
ted.
R If the KEYLESS GO key is in the vehicle, the
vehicle can be started at any time. If you
have left the KEYLESS GO key in the vehi-
cle, you will see the following message in
the multi-function display when you lock
the vehicle: Key still in vehicle.
Factory settings X
To unlock centrally: pull the door handle.
The turn signals flash once. The locking
knobs in the doors pop up. The anti-theft
alarm system* is deactivated.
When it is dark, the surround lighting also
comes on if it is activated in the on-board
computer. i
If you do not open either a door or the
boot lid after you have unlocked the vehi-
cle, it will automatically relock after approx-
imately 40 seconds.
i When a door is opened, the side window
on that side opens slightly. When the door
is closed, the side window closes again.
! The side windows will not open or close
if the battery is discharged or if the side
windows have iced up. It will not be possi-
ble to close the door. Do not attempt to
force the door closed. You could otherwise
damage the door or the window.
i There is a danger of the vehicle being
unlocked accidentally. This could happen if
the KEYLESS GO key is within one metre of
the vehicle and the door handle is splashed
by water. This could also happen when you
are cleaning the door handle. 1

system. When you now grasp the door handle
on the driver's door, you will only unlock the
driver's door and the fuel filler flap. This is
useful if you frequently travel on your own.

Risk of accident
Only adjust the steering wheel when the
vehicle is stationary and do not pull away
until the steering wheel adjustment mech-
anism is locked in position. You might oth-
erwise drive without the steering wheel
adjustment mechanism being locked in
position.
As a result you could be distracted
from road and traffic conditions by an unex-
pected movement of the steering wheel
and thereby cause an accident.
However, the steerability of the vehicle is
not affected.
X Check whether seat 3 and the head
restraint are adjusted properly
(Y page 75).
Make sure that:
R
you

are as far away from the driver's front
airbag as possible
R you are sitting in a normal upright posi-
tion
R you can fasten the seat belt properly
R you have moved the backrest to an
almost vertical position R
you have set the seat angle so that your
thighs are gently supported
R you can depress the pedals properly
R you have adjusted the head restraint so
that the back of your head is supported
at eye level by the central area of the
head restraint
X Check whether steering wheel 1
is adjus-
ted properly (Y page 81).
Make sure that:
R you can hold the steering wheel with your
arms slightly bent
R you can move your legs freely
R you can see all the displays in the instru-
ment cluster clearly
X Check whether you have fastened seat belt
2 properly

(Y page 88).
It should:
R fit snugly across your body
R be routed across the middle of your
shoulder

Light switch
For
reasons of safety, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you drive with the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, daytime use of headlamps varies due to
legal requirements and self-imposed obliga-
tions. In these countries, dipped-beam head-
lamps are switched on when the ignition is
switched on.
i If you drive in countries in which traffic
drives on the opposite side of the road to
the country where the vehicle is registered,
oncoming traffic may be dazzled by the
asymmetrical dipped-beam headlamps.
Have the headlamps changed to symmet-
rical dipped beam when driving in these
countries. You can obtain information
about this from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Controls
