If you fail to adapt your driving style or if you
are inattentive, th edriving safety systems can
neither reduc ethe riskofana ccidentnor
override th elaws of physics. Drivin gsafety
systems are merely aids designe dtoassist
driving .You are responsible for maintaining
th ed istanc etothevehicle in front, for vehicle
speed, for braking in good time, and for stay- ing in lane .Always adapt your driving style to
suit th eprevailin groad and weather condi-
tions and maintain asafe distanc efromt he
vehicle in front. Drive carefully.
The driving safety systems describe donly
work as effectivel yaspossible when there is
adequat econtac tbetween th etyres and the
road surface. Pleas epay special attentio nto
th en otes on tyres, recommended minimum
tyr etread depths etc. (Y page 416).
In wintry driving conditions, always use winter
tyres (M+ Styres) and ,ifnecessary, snow
chains .Onlyint hisw ay will th edriving safety
systems describe dinthiss ectio nwork as

If you must drive on stretches of road on
which water has collected, please bear in
mind that:
R in the case of standing water, the water
level must be no highert han the loweredge
of the vehicle body
R you shouldd rive no faster than walking

G
WARNING
If you shift down on aslippery road surface in
an attempt to increase the engine's braking
effect, the drive wheels could lose their grip.
This increases the risk of skidding and having
an accident.
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on aslippery road surface. G
DANGER
If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate
ventilation is not possible, poisonous gases
such as carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the vehicle .This is the case, e.g. if the vehicle
becomes trapped in snow. There is arisk of
fatal injury.
If you leave the engine or the auxiliary heating
running, make sure the exhaust pipe and area
around the vehicle are clear of snow. To
ensure an adequate supply of fresh air, open a window on the side of the vehicle that is not
facing into the wind.
Have yourv ehicle winterproofe dataqualified
specialist workshop at the onset of winter.
You shouldd rive particularly carefully on slip-
pery road surfaces .Avoid sudden accelera-
tion, steering and braking manoeuvres. If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be
stopped when moving at low speed:
X Vehicles with manual transmission:
shift to neutral.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position N.
X Try to bring the vehicle under control by
using corrective steering.
The outsid etemperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Changes in the outsid etemperature are dis-
played after ashort delay.
Indicated temperature sjust above the freez-
ing point do not guarantee that the road sur-
face is free of ice. The road may still be icy,
especially in wooded areasoronb ridges. The
vehicle could skid if you fail to adapt your
driving style. Alwaysa dapt yourdriving style
and drive at aspeed to suit the prevailing
weather conditions.
You shouldp ay specialattention to road con-
ditions when temperature sare around freez-
ing point.

Load compensation
The vehicle can compensate differences in
the vehicle leve lbyraising or lowering the
rear axle .Thisist he case ,for example, when
people get out of the vehicle or whe nlug gage
is removed.
Al oadc ompensation occurs if:
R ad oor, the boot lid or the tailgate is opened
R the parked vehicle is unlocked
The engine needs to be running for larger level
changes. 4MATIC (permanent all-whee
ldrive)
If you fai ltoadapt you rdriving style, 4MATIC
can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot
take account of road ,weather and traffic con-
ditions. 4MATIC is only an aid. You are
responsibl efor the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good
time, and for staying in lane.
If ad rive wheel spins due to insufficient grip:
R whe npulling away,o nly depress the accel-
erato rpedal as far as is necessary.
R accelerate les swhend riving.
! Never tow the vehicle with one axle
raised. Thi smay damage the transfer case.
Damag eofthis sort is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz implied warranty. All
wheels must remain eithe ronthe ground or
be fully raised. Observe the instructions for towing the vehicle with allw heels in full
contact with the ground.
i In wintry driving conditions, the maximum
effect of 4MATIC can only be achieved if you use winter tyres
(M+S tyres), with snow
chains if necessary.
4MATIC ensures that allf our wheels are per-
manently driven. Together with ESP ®
,it
improves the traction of you rvehicle when-
ever adrive wheel spins due to insufficient
grip. PARKTRONIC

Parking tips:
R on narrow roads, drive as closely as possi-
ble past the parking space.
R parking spaces that are littered or over-
grown might be identified or measured
incorrectly.
R parking spaces that are partially occupied
by trailer drawbars might not be identified
as such or be measured incorrectly.
R snowfall or heavy rain may lead to aparking
space being measured inaccurately.
R pay attention to the PARKTRONIC
(Y page 237) warning messages during the
parking procedure.
R you can intervene in the steerin gprocedure
to correc titatany time. Active Parking
Assist will then be cancelled.
R when transportin gaload which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use
Active Parking Assist.
R never use Active Parking Assist when snow
chains are fitted.
R make sure that the tyre pressures are
alway scorrect. This has adirect influence
on the parking characteristics of the vehi-
cle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces
that are:
R parallel or at right angles to the direction of
travel
R on straight roads, not bends
R on the same level as the road, e.g. not on
the pavement
Detecting parking spaces Objects located above the height range of
Active Parking Assist will not be detected
when the parking space is measured. These
are not taken into account when the parking
procedure is calculated, e.g. overhanging
loads, tail sections or loading ramps of goods
vehicles. G
WARNING
If there are object sabove the detection range:
R Active Park Assist may steer too early
R the vehicle may not stop in fron tofthese
objects.
This could cause acollision. There is arisk of
an accident.
If object sare located above the detection
range, stop and switch off Active Parking
Assist.
For further information on the detection
range (Y page 236).
Active Parking Assist does not assist you
parking in spaces at right angles to the direc-
tion of travel if:
R two parking spaces are located directly
next to one another
R the parking space is directly next to alow
obstacle such as alow kerb
R you forward park
Active Parking Assist does not assist you
parking in spaces that are parallel or at right
angles to the direction of travel if:
R the parking space is on akerb
R the system reads the parking space as
being blocked, for example by foliage or
grass paving blocks
R the area is too small for the vehicle to
manoeuvre into
R the parking space is bordered by an obsta-
cle, e.g. atree, apost or atrailer Example: detected parking space

M+S tyres with
atread depth of less than
4m mm ust be replaced.
At temperatures below +7 †, use winter tyres or all-season tyres. Both types of tyre are
identified by the M+S marking.
Only winter tyres bearing the isnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking pro-
vide the best possible grip in wintry road con- ditions.
Only these tyres will allow driving safety sys-
tems such as ABS and ESP ®
to function opti-
mally in winter. These tyres have been devel-
oped specifically for driving in snow.
Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread on all wheels to maintain safe handling charac-
teristics.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the M+S tyres you have
fitted.
If you fit M+S tyres that have alower maxi-
mum permissible speed than that of the vehi-
cle, affix acorresponding warning label in the
driver's field of vision. This can be obtained at aq ualified specialist workshop.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
using permanent SPEEDTRONIC so that it
does not exceed the maximum permissible
speed for the M+S tyres (Y page 217).
When you have fitted the M+S tyres:
X Check the tyre pressures (Y page 420).
X Restart the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem (Y page 422).
X Restart the tyre pressure monitor
(Y page 424).

cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.
There is
arisk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R never fit snow chains on the front wheels
R fit snow chains to the rear wheels in pairs.
! Vehicles with steel wheels:
if you fit
snow chains on steel wheels, you may dam-
age the hub caps. Remove the hub caps
from the relevant wheels before fittingt he
snow chains.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Ben zrecom-
mends that you only use snow chains that
have been specifically approved for your vehi- cle by Mercedes-Benz, or that are of acorre-
sponding standard of quality. For more infor-
mation, please contact aqualified specialist
workshop.
If you intendtof it snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:
R snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel-
tyre combinations. Permissible wheel-tyre
