GWarning!
The Blind Spot Assist monitors certain areas
in the immediate vicinity of your vehicle.
Vehicles approaching and passing at speeds
that exceed the speed of your vehicle
significantly will not be detected. There will be
no warning display and no audible warning.
When driving in a very wide lane, the sensors
may not be able to cover the entire width of
the neighboring lane. Vehicles driving on the
outside of the neighboring lane may not be
detected.
It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to
be attentive to road, weather and traffic
conditions and to provide the steering,
braking and other driving inputs necessary to
retain control of the vehicle. Failure to do so
could result in recognizing dangers too late,
possibly resulting in an accident and serious
injury to yourself and others.
When driving in a very narrow lane, the
sensors may detect and display vehicles in the
second lane over. This will be the case if there
are vehicles driving on the inside edge of their
lane.
The system may issue causeless warnings in
the area of guardrails or similar structural
boundaries.
The two Blind Spot Assist sensors are built
into the rear bumper. Make sure that the area
of the bumper around the sensors is free of
dirt, ice and snow. The radar sensors must not
be obstructed, for example, by bicycle
carriers or overhanging luggage.
! In the event of a significant impact or
damage affecting the bumpers, have the
radar sensors checked by a qualified
specialist workshop such as a Mercedes-
Benz Center. Failure to do this can result in
Blind Spot Assist not functioning correctly.
Indicator and warning lamps
Exterior rear view mirror, driver’s side
XMake sure that the radar sensors
(Y page 144) and Blind Spot Assist
(Y page 138) are switched on.
XSwitch on the ignition.
Red warning lamps : in the exterior rear
view mirrors come on.
XStart the engine.
Yellow indicator lamps : in the exterior
rear view mirrors come on up to a speed of
20 mph (30 km/h).
Above a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h), yellow
indicator lamps : go out and the Blind Spot
Assist is active. If the Blind Spot Assist
detects a vehicle in its range, red warning
lamp : on the corresponding side of the
vehicle comes on. The warning is issued each
time a vehicle enters the area monitored by
the Blind Spot Assist from behind or from the
side. When you pass another vehicle, the
warning is issued only when the speed
differential is less than 7 mph (12 km/h).

Vehicle equipment
i This Operator’s Manual describes all
features, standard or optional, potentially
available for your vehicle at the time of
purchase. Please be aware that your
vehicle might not be equipped with all
features described in this manual.
The first 1000 miles (1500 km)
The more cautiously you treat your vehicle
during the break-in period, the more satisfied
you will be with its performance later on.
R Drive your vehicle during the first
1 000 miles (1 500 km) at varying but
moderate vehicle and engine speeds.
R During this period, avoid heavy loads (full
throttle driving) and excessive engine
speeds (no more than 2
/ 3 of maximum rpm
in each gear).
R Avoid accelerating by kickdown.
R Select gear ranges 3, 2 or 1 (Y page 120)
only when driving at moderate speeds (for
hill driving).
After 1 000 miles (1 500 km) you may
gradually increase vehicle and engine speeds
to the permissible maximum.
! Additional instructions for AMG vehicles:
R During the first 1 000 miles (1 500 km),
do not exceed a speed of 85 mph
(140 km/h).
R During this period, avoid engine speeds
above 4 500 rpm in each gear.
R Shift gears in a timely manner.
All of the above instructions, as may apply to
your vehicle type, also apply when driving the
first 1 000 miles (1 500 km) after the engine
or the rear differential has been replaced.
i Always obey applicable speed limits.
Notes on breaking-in the rear
differential (AMG vehicles only)
The vehicle is equipped with a self-locking
rear differential. For increased protection of
the rear differential, carry out an oil change
after a break-in phase of 2 000 miles
(3 000 km). This oil change will extend the
useful life of the differential. Have the oil
change carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends you
have this work done at a authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.

Refueling
GWarning!
Gasoline and diesel fuels are highly flammable
and poisonous. They burn violently and can
cause serious injury.
Never allow sparks, flames or smoking
materials near gasoline or diesel fuel!
Turn off the engine before refueling.
Whenever you are around gasoline or diesel
fuel, avoid inhaling fumes and any skin or
clothing contact. Extinguish all smoking
materials.
Direct skin contact with fuels and the
inhalation of fuel vapors are damaging your
health.
GWarning!
Overfilling of the fuel tank may create
pressure in the system which could cause a
gas discharge. This could cause the gas to
spray back out when removing the fuel pump
nozzle, which could cause personal injury.
GWarning!
Do not fill diesel tanks with gasoline. Do not
mix diesel fuel with gasoline. Otherwise the
fuel system and engine could be damaged. In
addition, the vehicle could catch fire.
