ve
hicle itself. Control units of ten contain da ta
memories forve hicle keys,fo rex ample. Their
use permits thete mp orary or permanent docu‐
mentation of tech nical information about the
ve hicle's operating state, component loads,
main tenance requirements and tech nical events
or faults.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, thefo llow‐
ing data are stored:
R operating status of sy stem components,
such as fill le vels, tyre pressure or battery
st atus
R malfunctions or faults in impor tant sy stem
components, such as lights or brakes
R system reactions in special driving situations,
such as airbag deployment or the inter ven‐
tion of stability control sy stems
R information on events leading tovehicle
damage
In cer tain cases, it may be requiredtostore data
th at wo uld ha veotherwise been used only tem‐
porarily. This may be the case if theve hicle has
de tected a malfunction, forex ample. If
yo u use services, such as repair services and
maintenance work,st ored operational data as
we ll as theve hicle identification number can be
re ad out and used. They can be read out by
service network emplo yees, such as workshops
and manufacturers or third parties, such as
breakdown services. The same is true in the
case of warranty claims and quality assurance
measures.
In general, there adout is per form ed via the
legally prescribed port forth e diagnostics con‐
nection in theve hicle. The operational data that
are read out document tech nical states of the
ve hicle or of individual components and assist in
th e diagnosis of malfunctions, compliance with
wa rranty obligations and quality impr ovement.
To that end, these data, in particular information
about component loads, tech nical events, mal‐
functions and other faults may be transmit ted
along with theve hicle identification number to
th e manufacturer. Furthermore, the manufac‐
turer is subject toproduct liability. Forth is rea‐
son the manufacturer also uses operational data
from theve hicle, forex ample, forre calls. These da
ta can also be used toexamine the cus tom‐
er's warranty and guarantee claims.
Fa ult memories in theve hicle can be reset by a
service outlet or at your requ est as part of repair
or maintenance work.
Con venience and inf otainment functions
Yo u can store con venience settings and individ‐
ual settings in theve hicle and change or reset
th em at any time.
Depending on theve hicle equipment, this
includes thefo llowing settings, forex ample:
R seat and steering wheel positions
R suspension and climate control settings
R individual settings, such as interior lighting
Depending on the selected equipment, you can
import data into vehicle inf otainment functions

WARNING Risk of injury duetohead
re stra ints not being fitted or being adjus‐
te d incor rectly
If head restra ints ha venot been ins talled or
ha ve not been adjus ted cor rectly, there is an
increased risk of injury in the head and neck
area, e.g. in theev ent of an accident or when
braking. #
Alw ays drive with the head restra ints

DANG ER Risk of fata l injury 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 in enclosed spaces or if
th eve hicle gets stuck in sn ow,fo rex ample. #
Alw ays switch thest ationary heater off
in enclosed spaces without an air
ex traction sy stems, e.g. in garage s. #
Keep theta ilpipe and the area around
th eve hicle free from snow when the
engine or thest ationary heater are run‐
ning. #
Open a window on the windward side of
th eve hicle toensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air. &
WARNING Risk offire due tohot station‐
ary heater components and exhaust
ga ses
Flammable materials such as lea ves, grass or
twigs may ignite. #
When thest ationary heater is swit ched
on, make sure that:
R hot vehicle parts do not come into
contact with flammable materials.

TEReduced battery life due tofre‐
qu ent short-dis tance trips The
12V battery may not be suf ficiently
ch arge d when theve hicle is used only for
short-dis tance trips. This reduces the life of
th e batter y. #

s on driving with a roof load, trailer or
fully laden vehicle
When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or
trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu‐
pied vehicle, theve hicle's driving and steering
ch aracteristics change. Yo
u should bear thefo llowing in mind:
R Do not exceed the permissible roof load and
to wing capacity. Also obser vethete ch nical
da ta inthe printed Owner's Manual.
R Evenly distribute thero of load, and place
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply
with the no tes on loading theve hicle
(/ page 108).
R Drive attentivel y,and avoid sudden lypulling
aw ay, braking and steering as well as rapid
cornering.
Note s on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking ef fect is limited on salt-trea ted
ro ads.
Therefore, obse rveth efo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
conside rably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front To
remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad
sur face.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts
R avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully

R Ope rating status of the engine
R Traf fic situation Fu
nction of the 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
To ge ther with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsuf ficient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take
account of road, weather and traf fic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible espe‐
cially for maintaining a safe dis tance from the
ve hicle in front, forve hicle speed, for braking in
good time and forst ay ing in lane.
% In wint ryroad conditions, the maximum
ef fect of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you
use winter tyres (M+S tyres), with sn ow

nction of Active Steering Assist
Ac tive Steering Assist is only available up to a
speed of 210 km/h. The sy stem helps youto
st ay inthe cent reofthe lane bymeans of mod‐
erate steering inter ventions. Depending on the
speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the
ve hicles ahead and lane markings as a refer‐
ence.
% Depending on the count ry, in the lo wer
speed range Active Steering Assist can use
th e sur rounding traf fic as a refere nce. If nec‐
essar y,Ac tive Steering Assist can then also pr
ov ide assis tance when driving outside the
centre of the lane, forex ample, toform a

If th e de tection of lane markings and vehicles
ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist
switches topassive mode. The sy stem pr ovides
no support in this case.

Sy stem limits
Ac tive Steering Assist has a limited steering tor‐
qu efo r lateral guidance. In some cases, the
st eering inter vention is not su fficient tokeep the
ve hicle in the lane or todrive thro ugh exits. The sy
stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing ins tances:
R The reis poor visibilit y,e.g. due tosno w,rain,
fo g, heavy spr ay, greatly varying light condi‐
tions or strong shado wsonthe car riag ewa y.
R There is glare, e.g. from oncoming traf fic,
di re ct sunlight or reflections.
R Insuf ficient road illumination.
R The windsc reen is dirty, mis ted up, damaged
or co vered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g.
by ast icke r.
R No, or se veral, unclear lane markings are
present for one lane, or the markings change
qu ickl y,forex ample, in a con stru ction area
or junctions.
R The lane markings are wornaw ay, dark or
co vered up, e.g. bydirt or sno w.
R Ifth e dis tance totheve hicle in front is too
short and thus the lane markings cann otbe
de tected.
R The road is nar rowand winding.
R There are obs tacles on the lane or projecting
out into the lane, such as object mar kers. The sy
stem does not pr ovide assis tance in the
fo llowing conditions:
R On tight bends and when turning.
R When crossing junctions.
R Atroundabouts or tollst ations.
R When towing a trailer.
R When the tyre pressure is too lo w. &
