If you are using all sockets in the vehicle,
make sure that you do no texceed the max-
imu mcurren tdraw of 55 A. Otherwise, you
will overload the fuses.
The socket can be used for accessories with
a maximum power consumption of 180 W,
e.g. lamps or chargers for mobile phones.
If you use the sockets for long periods when
the engine is switched off, the battery may
discharge.

G
Risk of accident
Observe the legal requirements of the country
in which you are currently driving regarding
operating mobile communications equipment
in a vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment while the vehicle is in
motion, you must only do so if the traffic sit-
uation permits. Otherwise, you could be dis-
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 exterior aerial. G
Risk of injury
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others. Using an exterior aerial takes
into account current scientific discussions
relating to the possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic 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 Features
259Stowing and features Z

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.
Further information about the mobile
phone brackets supported can also be
found on the Internet at: http://
www.mercedes-benz.com/connec t.
Inserting the mobile phone
X Open the telephone compartment
(Y page 249).
X Depending on the model of the mobile
phone bracket, install the sliding adapter
(Y page 260).
X Insert the mobile phone into the mobile
phone bracket; see the separate mobile
phone bracket installation instructions.
If the mobile phone is inserted in the mobile
phone bracket, you can speakt o the person
you are calling using the hands-free system.
You can operate the telephone using the
6 and~ buttons on the multifunction
steering wheel. You can operate other mobile
phone functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 201).
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.
Sliding adapter for mobile phone

ing adapter so the bracket can be installed
correctly. :

tance of 5 to 20 cm.
i The required distance between garage
door remote control Aand the integrated

drive system. You might require several
attempts. You should test every position for
at least 20 seconds before trying another
position.
X Press and hold transmitter button Bon

If indicator lamp :goes out after approx-
imately 20 seconds and has not flashed rap-
idly:
X Repeat the programming procedure for the
transmitter button. This time, change the
distance between the garage door remote
control and the rear-view mirror.
i If the garage door system works with a
rolling code, you must synchronise the
remote control integrated in the rear-view
mirror with the garage door system
receiver after programming.
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. Problems when programming
If you experience problems when program-
ming the garage door opener integrated in the
rear-view mirror, note the following:
R
check the transmitter frequency of garage
door remote control A(this can usually be
found on the rear of the remote control).
R change the batteries in garage door remote
control A.This increases the likelihood
that garage door remote control Awill
send a strong and precise signal to the
integrated remote control in the rear-view
mirror.
R when programming, hold garage door
remote control Aat different distances
and angles from the transmitter button that
you are programming. Try various angles at
distances from 5 to 30 cm or the same
angle but varying distances.
R If there is another remote control for the
same garage door drive, perform the pro-
gramming steps again using the other
remote control. Before performing these
steps, make sure that new batteries have
been fitted in the garage door remote con-
trol.
R Align the aerial cable of the garage door
opener unit. This can improve signal recep-
tion/transmission.
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 also
read the operating instructions for the garage
door system.

kofa ccident
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
around the pedals when floormats are used,
and that the floormats are properly secured.
The floormats must be correctly secured at all
times using retainers and press-studs.
Before you drive off, check the floormats and
secure if necessary. Afloormat which is not
properly secured can slip and, thereby, inter-
fere with the movemen tofthe pedals.
Do not place floormats on top of one another. X
Slide the seat backwards.
X To fit: place the floormat in position.
X Press studs :onto retainers ;.
X To remove: pull the floormat off retain-
ers ;.
X Remove the floormat. Retrofitted anti-glare film
Retrofitted anti-glare film on the inside of the
windows can interfere with radio/mobile
telephone reception. This is particularly the
case for conductive or metallic-coated films.
Information about anti-glare film can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.264

Bonnet
Opening the bonnet G
Risk of accident
Do not pull the release lever while the vehicle
is in motion. If you do so, the bonnet may open
up and block your view. G
Risk of injury
There is a risk of injury if the bonnet is open,
even if the engine is not running.
Some engine components can become very
hot.
To avoid the risk of burns, only touch those
components described in the Owner's Manual
and observe the relevant safety notes. G
Risk of injury
The radiator fan between the radiator and the
engine can start automatically, even if the key
has been removed from the ignition lock. For
this reason, you must not reach into the fan
rotation area. You could otherwise be injured. Vehicles with
apetrol engine: The elec-
tronic ignitio nsystem uses high voltage. For
this reason, you mus tnever touch ignition
system components (ignition coil, ignition
cables, spark plug connectors or test socket)
while:
R the engine is running
R the engine is being started
R the ignition is switched on and the engine
is being cranked by hand
You could otherwise suffer an electric shock
and be seriously or even fatally injured.
Vehicles with adiesel engine: The elec-
tronic injection control uses high voltage. For
this reason, you must never touch injection
system components while:
R the engine is running
R the engine is being started
R the ignition is switched on
You could otherwise suffer an electric shock
and be seriously or even fatally injured.
X Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
switched off. G
Risk of injury

Notes on the oil level Depending on driving style, the vehicle con-
sumes a maximum of 0.8 l oil per 1000 km.
The oil consumption may be higher than this
when the vehicle is new or if you frequently
drive at high engine speeds.

stick
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may
be installed at a different location.
When checking the oil level:
R
park the vehicle on a level surface.
R the engine should be switched off for
approximately five minutes if the engine is
at normal operating temperature. Example: vehicles with a petrol engine
Example: vehicles with a diesel engine
