Proper use
Observe the following information when oper-
ating your vehicle:
Rthe safety notes in these operating instruc-
tions
Rthe technical data in these Operating Instruc-
tions
Rtraffic laws and regulations
Rmotor vehicle laws and safety standards
There are various warning stickers affixed to the
vehicle. If you remove warning stickers, you and
others may fail to recognize the dangers. Leave
the warning stickers in their original position.
GWARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their
function and/or the function of other net-
worked components. In particular, systems
relevant to safety could also be affected. As a
result, these may no longer function as inten-
ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an
accident and injury.
Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec-
tronic components or their software. You
should have all work to electrical and elec-
tronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
The general operating permit for your vehicle
could be rendered invalid if you carry out mod-
ifications to electronic components, their soft-
ware as well as wiring.
GWARNING
Gases and fluids from substances that con-
stitute a health hazard or react aggressively
can escape even from securely closed con-
tainers. When transporting such substances
in the vehicle interior, your ability to concen-
trate or your health could be affected during
the journey. Malfunctions, short circuits or
electrical component system failures may
also result. There is a risk of an accident and
fire.
Do not store or transport any substances in
the vehicle interior which are hazardous to
health or react aggressively.
These instructions must also be observed for
vehicles where the cargo compartment is not
fully separated from the driver's cab.
Partition with door/window: always keep the
door/window in the partition closed during
transport.
Examples of substances that are hazardous to
health and/or react aggressively:
RSolvents
RFuel
ROil and grease
RCleaning agents
RAcids
Protection of the environment
Economic and environmentally aware
driving
HEnvironmental note
Daimler's declared policy is one of compre-
hensive environmental protection.
The objectives are for the natural resources
that form the basis of our existence on this
planet to be used sparingly and in a manner
that takes the requirements of both nature
and humanity into account.
You too can help to protect the environment
by operating your vehicle in an environmen-
tally responsible manner.
Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,
transmission, brake and tire wear are affected
by these factors:
Roperating conditions of your vehicle
Ryour personal driving style
You can influence both factors. You should
bear the following in mind:

Useful information
This Operator's Manual describes all models as
well as standard and optional equipment of your
vehicle that were available at the time of going
to print. Country-specific variations are possi-
ble. Note that your vehicle may not be equipped
with all of the described functions. This also
applies to systems and functions relevant to
safety.

Important safety notes
GWARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle,
they could:
Ropen the doors, thus endangering other
people or road users.
Rget out and disrupt traffic.
Roperate the vehicle's equipment.
Additionally, children could set the vehicle in
motion if, for example, they:
Rrelease the parking brake.
Rshifting the automatic transmission out of
park position P
RStart the engine.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children or animals unattended in the

GWARNING
If you attach heavy or large objects to the
SmartKey, the SmartKey could be uninten-
tionally turned in the ignition lock. This could
cause the engine to be switched off. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not attach any heavy or large objects to the
SmartKey. Remove any bulky key rings before
inserting the SmartKey into the ignition lock.
!Keep the SmartKey away from strong mag-
netic fields. Otherwise, the remote control
function could be affected.
Strong magnetic fields can occur in the vicin-
ity of powerful electrical installations.
Do not keep the key:
Rwith electronic devices, e.g. a mobile phone
or another key
Rwith metallic objects, e.g. coins or metal foil
Rin metallic objects, e.g. metal cases

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate
is open when the engine is running, particu-
larly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust fumes
could enter the passenger compartment.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the tail-
gate. Never drive with the tailgate open.
!The tailgate swings upwards and to the rear
when opened. Therefore, make sure that
there is sufficient clearance above and behind
the tailgate.
