Important safety notes G
WARNING
The seat belts can only provide protection if
the seat backrest is locked in the upright
position.

The seat backrest must therefore be
locked in the upright position during the
journey. Do not drive the vehicle if the seat
backrest is not locked in the upright position.
If the
Lock Seat Backrest Front Right
or
Lock Seat Backrest Front Left
warning message is displayed in the
multifunction display, then the corresponding
seat backrest is not locked. Carefully slow
down and drive with caution to an area which
is a safe distance from the road. Always
ensure that there is sufficient space behind
the seat backrest and fold the seat backrest
back fully until it engages in the locking
mechanism. The warning message is no longer displayed
once

the seat backrest engages in the locking
mechanism. If both seat backrests are locked
and the warning message continues to be
displayed, have the system checked by a
Mercedes-Benz Center without delay. G
WARNING
Always ensure that no-one can become
trapped or injured by the movement of the
seat.

In a potentially hazardous situation, the
procedure can be interrupted by moving the
seat adjustment switch in the door control
panel or by operating one of the position
buttons of the Memory function.

Important safety notes
Xenon bulbs G
DANGER
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You could
get
an electric shock and be seriously or even
fatally injured if you touch the electric
contacts on Xenon bulbs. Therefore, never
remove the cover from Xenon bulbs.
Do not change the Xenon bulbs yourself, but
have them replaced at a qualified workshop.
If your vehicle is equipped with Xenon bulbs,
you can recognize this by the following: the
cone of light from the Xenon bulbs moves
from the top to the bottom and back again
when you start the engine. For this to be
observed, the lights must be switched on
before starting the engine.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp setting checked regularly.

WARNING
Bulbs and lamps can become very hot. For
this reason, allow them to cool down before
changing them. Otherwise, you could burn
