WARNING ‑ Risk of bu rns/frostbite due
to not maintaining a su fficient dis tance
to the air vents
Ve ry hot or very cold air can flow from the air
ve nts. This could
result in burns or frostbite in the
immediate vicinity of the air vents. #

DANG ER Risk of fata l injuries due topoi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If th eta ilpipe is bloc ked or suf ficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter theve hi‐
cle. This is the case, forex ample, if theve hi‐
cle is stuck in sn ow. #
When the engine or thest ationary
heater are running, keep theta ilpipe
and the area around theve hicle clear of
sno w. #
Open a window on the side of theve hi‐
cle facing the wind toensure an ade‐
qu ate supply of fresh air. &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
brake sy stem overheating
If yo u lea veyour foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake sy stem may over‐
heat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the

Ease off the accelera tor pedal once the
desired speed is reached. Glide mode function
Wi
th an anticipatory driving style, glide mode
helps youto reduce fuel consum ption.
Glide mode is characterised bythefo llowing:
R The combustion engine is disconnected from
th e driv etra in and theve hicle continues to
ro ll in neut ral.
R The transmission position his displa yed in
green in the multifunction displa y.
R E 350: the combustion engine is switched
off if the driving situation permits. All of the
ve hicle's functions remain active.
Glide mode is activated if thefo llowing condi‐
tions are me t:
R Drive prog ram Eis selected.
R The speed is within a suita blerange.
R The cou rse of thero ad is suitable, e.g. no
st eep uphill or downhill gradients or tight
bends. R
There is no trailer coupled tothe ball head of
th e trailer hitch, and no bicycle rack fitted.
R You are no lon ger depressing the accelera tor
or brake pedal.
% Glide mode can also be activated if you ha ve
selected the "Eco" setting forth e drive
(engine management) when in drive program
I.
Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no longer met.
