Cigarette lighter
GObserve Safety notes, see page 55.GWarning!
Never touch the heating element or sides of
the lighter; they are extremely hot. Hold the
knob only.
Make sure any children traveling with you do
not injure themselves or start a fire with the
hot cigarette lighter.
If the engine is off and the cigarette lighter is
being used extensively, the vehicle battery
may become discharged.
XOpen the ashtray (Y page 211).XSwitch on the ignition.XPush in cigarette lighter :.
Cigarette lighter : will pop out
automatically when hot.
XTake out cigarette lighter :.XReinsert cigarette lighter : in its socket
after use.
! The lighter socket can be used to
accommodate 12V DC electrical
accessories (up to a maximum of 180 W)
designed for use with the standard
“cigarette lighter” plug type. Keep in mind,
however, that connecting accessories to
the lighter socket (for example extensive
connecting and disconnecting, or using
plugs that do not fit properly) can damage
the lighter socket. With the socket
damaged, the lighter may not function
properly any longer.
! The cigarette lighter is not designed for
use with the electric air pump. Use the
power outlet in the second-row footwell for
electric air pump operation.
Power outlets
iYou can use the power outlets even if the
ignition is switched off.
An emergency shut-off feature is designed
to prevent the vehicle’s on-board voltage
from dropping below a minimum level. If
the on-board voltage drops to this
minimum level, the power outlets are
automatically switched off, to help
preserve engine starting power.
12V Power outlets
! If you use all power outlets in the vehicle,
make sure that the maximum current
drawn does not exceed 55 A.
! The power outlets in the front passenger
footwell and cargo compartment are not
designed for use with the electric air pump.
Use the power outlet in the second-row
footwell for electric air pump operation.
The power outlets can be used to
accommodate 12V DC electrical accessories
(e.g. mobile phone chargers, auxiliary lamps)
up to a maximum of 20 A (240 W).

115V AC Socket
GWarning!
The 115V AC socket operates at high voltage.
Use the 115V AC socket in the vehicle with
the same caution and prudence that you
exercise when using power outlets at home.
Keep any fluids away from the 115V AC
socket. Do not clean the socket with fluids or
tapered objects. Keep the 115V AC socket
cover in the closed position, when not in use.
Otherwise, you could suffer an electric shock
and be seriously or even fatally injured.
GWarning!
A device that you connect must have a
suitable plug that complies with U.S.
standards. Never pull on the cable to unplug
a plug from the 115V AC socket. Do not use
a damaged connection cable. The 115V AC
socket may not be connected to another
115V AC power source. Do not use converters
to a grounding plug with the 115V AC socket.
This could cause serious personal injury to
you and/or others.
GWarning!
If the 115V AC socket is damaged or torn out
of the trim, do not use or touch the 115V AC
socket. Using a 115V AC socket that is
damaged or torn out of the trim could cause
serious personal injury to you and/or others.
The 115V AC socket : provides an
alternating current of 115 volts, which
enables you to connect small electrical
devices with a combined received power of
150 W at most. You can connect small
devices such as game consoles, mobile
phone chargers, laptops, etc.

iVehicles retrofitted with TIREFIT kit:
Only use the power outlet in the second-
row footwell for electric air pump
operation.
You can use the power outlet even when
the ignition is switched off, e.g. in order to
inflate the collapsible tire.
An emergency shut-off feature is designed
to prevent the vehicle’s on-board voltage
from dropping below a minimum level. If
the on-board voltage drops to this
minimum level, the power outlets are

engine starting power.
Sealing tires with TIREFIT
This section applies to vehicles retrofitted
with a TIREFIT kit only.
Small tire punctures, particularly those in the
tread, can be sealed with TIREFIT.
TIREFIT can be used in ambient temperatures
down to -4‡ (-20†).
GWarning!
TIREFIT is a limited repair device. TIREFIT
cannot be used for cuts or punctures larger
than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) and tire
damage caused by driving with extremely low
tire inflation pressure, or on a flat tire, or a
damaged wheel.
Do not drive the vehicle under such
circumstances.
Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center for assistance or call Roadside
Assistance.
XForeign objects (e.g. screws or nails)
should not be removed from the tire.
XTake the TIREFIT kit, the sticker, and the
electric air pump out of the vehicle.
Two-part sticker
XAttach upper part : of the sticker where
