iblew hen you open the front-passenger
door. The automatic chil
dseat recognition sensor
syste mont he front-passenger seat detects
whether aspecial Mercedes-Ben zchild seat
with automatic chil dseat recognition has
been fitted there. In such cases, PASSENGER
AIRBA GOFF indicato rlamp 4 :lights
up. The front-passenger front airbag is disa-
bled. G
Risk of injury
If the 4 PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF indica-
tor lamp doe snot light up when the child
restraint system is fitted, the front-passenger
front airbag has not been disabled. If the front-
passenger front airbag deploys, the child
coul dbes eriously or even fatally injured.
Proceed as follows:
R do not use arearward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat.
R fit arearward-facing child restraint system
on asuitable rear seat.
or
R only use aforward-facing child restraint
system on the front-passenger seat and
mov ethe front-passenger seat to its rear-
most position.
R hav ethe automatic chil dseat recognition
checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
To ensure that the automatic child seat rec-
ognitio nonthe front-passenger seat func-
tions/communicates correc tly, never place
objects (such as acushion) under the child
restraint system. The entire base of the child restraint system must always rest on the seat
cushion. An incorrectly fitted child restraint
system cannot perform its intended protec-
tive function in the event of an accident, and
could lead to injuries.
i If the front-passenger front airbag is dis-
abled by the automatic child seat recogni-
tion, the following remain activated on the
front-passenger side:
R the sidebag
R Cabriolet: the headbag
R Coupé :the windowbag
R the belt tensioners G
Risk of injury
Do not plac eelectronic devices on the fron t-
passenger seat, e.g.:
R laptops, when switched on
R mobile phones
R cards with transponders, e.g. ski passes or
access cards
Signal sfrom electroni cequipmen tcan cause
interference in the automatic child seat rec-
ognition senso rsystem. This can lead to a
syste mmalfunction. This may cause the
4 PASSENGER AIRBA GOFF indicator
lamp to light up without there being achild
seat with automatic chil dseat recognition fit-
ted, and the front-passenger front airba gwill
not deploy during an accident .Itisalso pos-
sible that the 6SRS warnin glamp lights

you turn the key in the ignitio nlock to position

ynotes
For reasons of safety, Mercedes-Ben zrecom-
mends that you driv ewith the lights switched
on even during the daytime. In some coun-
tries, operation of the headlamps varies due
to legal requirement sand self-imposed obli-
gations. In these countries, the daytime driv-
ing lights are automatically switche donwhen
the engin eisstarted. Notes on driving abroad
Converting to symmetrical dipped beam
when drivin gabroad: switch the headlamps
to symmetrical dipped beam in countries in
which traffic drives on the opposite side of the
road to the countr ywhere the vehicle is reg-
istered. This prevents oncomi ngtraffic from
being dazzled .Symmetrical lights do not illu-
minate as large an area of the edg eofthe
carriageway.
Convert the headlamps as close to the border
as possible before drivin ginthese countries
(Y page 206).
Converting to asymmetrica ldipped beam
after retu rning: conver tthe headlamps back
to asymmetrical dipped beam as soon as pos-
sible after crossing the border when returning
(Y page 206).
Vehicle swith Intelligent Light System: if
the headlamps are converted to symmetrical
dipped beam, not all light functions are avail- able. "Motorway mode" and the "extended
range foglamps" are deactivated. Light switch

Intelligent Light System
Active light function The active light fun
ction is asystem that
moves the headlamps according to the steer-
ing movement softhe front wheels. In this
way, relevant areas remain illuminated while
driving. This allows you to recognise pedes-
trians, cyclists and animals.
Active: when the lights ar eswitched on.
Cornering light function The cornering light func
tion improves the illu-
mination of the roa dover awide angle in the
direction you are turning, enabling better vis-
ibility in tight bends, for example. It can only
be activated when the dipped-bea mhead-
lamps are switched on.
Active: if you are driving at speeds below
40 km /hand switch on the turn signals or
turn the steering wheel.
Not active: if you are driving at speeds above
40 km/ horswitch off the turn signal or turn the steerin
gwheel to the straight-ahea dposi-
tion.
The cor nering ligh tfunction may remain lit for
as hort time, but is automatically switc hed off
after no more than three minutes.
Motorway mode Motorway mode inc
reases the range of the
beam.
Active:
R if you are driving at speeds above
110 km/ hand do not make any large steer-
ing movements for 1000 m

too soon. Thi smay lea dtoac ollision. For this
reason, you should avoid using Parking Guid-
anc eins uch situations. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that no persons or animals are in
the manoeuvring range. Otherwise, they
could be injured.
Whe nPARKTRONIC is deactivated, Parking
Guidance is als ounavailable.
Use Parking Guidance for parking spaces:
R that are paralle ltothe direction of travel
R that ar eonstraight roads, not bends
R that are on the same leve lasthe road, i.e.
not on the pav ement
Parking tips:
R On narrow roads, driv easclose to the park-
ing space as possible.
R Parking spaces which are littered, over-
grown or partially occupied by trailer draw-
bars might be identified incorrectly or not
at all.
R Snowfa ll or heav yrain may lea dtoaparking
space being measured inaccurately.
R Pay attention to the PARKTRONIC warning
messages during the parking procedure
(Y pag e175).
R When transporting aload which protru des
from you rvehicle, you must not use Parking
Guidance.
R Never use Parkin gGuidance with snow
chains or an emergenc yspare wheel fit ted.
R The way your vehicle is positioned in the
parkin gspace after parkin gisdependent
on various factors. These include the posi-
tion and shape of the vehicles parked in
front and behind it and the conditions of the
location. In some cases, Parking Guidance
may guide you too far or not far enough into
ap arking space. In some cases, it may also
lead you across or onto the kerb. If neces-
sary, cancel the parking procedure with
Parking Guidance. !
If unavoidable, you should drive over
obstacles such as kerbs slowly and not at
as har pangle .Otherwise, you may damage
the wheels or tyres.
Detecting parking spaces Example: vehicles with automatic transmission
:
Detected parking space on the left
; Parking symbol
= Detected parking space on the right
Parking Guidance is automaticall yactivated
whe nyou drive forwards. The system is
operational at speeds of up to approximately
35 km/h. While in operation ,the system inde-
pendently locates and measures parking
spaces on both sides of the vehicle. When
drivin gatspeeds below 30 km/ h,you will see
parking symbol ;asastatus indicato rinthe
instrumen tcluster.
When aparking space has been detected, an
arrow towards the right =or the left :also
appears. Parking Guidance only displ ays
parking spaces on the front-passenger side
as standard. Parking spaces on the driver's
side are displayed as soon as the tur nsignal
on the driver's side is activated. To park on
the driver's side, you must leave the driver's
side turn signal switched on until you have
engaged reverse gear.
Parking Guidance will only detect parking
spaces:
R that are parallel to the direction of travel
R that are at least 1.5 mwide
R that are at least 1.3 mlonger than your
vehicle
Ap arking space is displayed while you are
driving past it, and until you are approx .15m
away from it. 178
