Easy-entry / exit feature
The switch is located on the steering column adjustment
lever.
Turn the switch in direction:
1to switch on
2to switch offWith the easy-entry/exit feature activated, the steering
wheel tilts upwards to allow easier entry into and exit
from the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened.
However, the engine must be turned off.
When the electronic key is inserted in the starter switch
or, with a valid KEYLESS-GO-card, when pressing the
start- / stop button on the gear selector lever, and if the
driver’s door is closed, the steering wheel returns to the
last position set for it.

You must ensure that no one can become trapped
or injured by the moving steering wheel when the
easy-entry / exit feature is in operation and you
open the driver’s door or remove the electronic key
from the starter switch. Do not leave children
unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an
unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle
equipment may cause serious personal injury.

The switches are located in each front door.
We recommend to adjust the power seat in the following
order:
1Seat adjustment, fore / aft
Press the switch (fore / aft direction) until a
comfortable seating position is reached that still
allows you to reach the accelerator / brake pedal
safely. The position should be as far rearward as
possible, consistent with ability to properly operate
controls.Note:
Do not move the front passenger seat completely
forward if objects are stored in the parcel net in the
front passenger-side footwell. Items in the net may
be damaged.
2Press and hold the E button.
When depressed, the exterior mirrors, interior
mirror and steering wheel position are preset based
on the fore / aft position of the driver’s seat.
Only minor personal adjustments, as described
below, should then be required.
For steering wheel adjustment, see page 105;
rear view mirror, see page 106;
exterior rear view mirrors, see page 107.
3Seat, up / down

Important!
Prior to operating the vehicle, the driver should adjust
the seat height for proper vision as well as fore/aft
placement and backrest angle to insure adequate
control, reach, operation, and comfort. The head
restraint should also be adjusted for proper height. See
also airbag section on page 94 for proper seat
positioning.
In addition, also adjust the steering wheel to ensure
adequate control, reach, operation, and comfort.
Both the inside and outside rear view mirrors should be
adjusted for adequate rearward vision.Fasten seat belts. Infants and small children should be
seated in a properly secured restraint system that
complies with U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard 213 and Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety
Stand ard 213.
All seat, head restraint, steering wheel, and rear view
mirror adjustments as well as fastening of seat belts
should be done before the vehicle is put into motion.

Your vehicle was originally equipped with airbags
which are designed to activate in certain impacts
exceeding a preset threshold to reduce the potential
and severity of injury. It is important to your safety
and that of your passenger that you replace deployed
airbags and repair any malfunctioning airbags to
ensure the vehicle will continue to provide crash
protection for occupants.
Wa r n i n g !
To reduce the risk of injury when the front airbags
inflate, it is very important for the driver and front
passenger to always be in a properly seated
position and to wear their seat belts.For maximum protection in the event of a collision
always be in normal seated position w ith your back
against the backrest. Fasten your seat belt and
ensure that it is properly positioned on your body.Since the airbag inflates with considerable speed
and force, a proper seating and hands on steering
wheel position will help to keep you at a safe
distance from the airbag. Occupants who are
unbelted, out of position or too close to the airbag
can be seriously injured by an airbag as it inflates
with great force in the blink of an eye:
• Sit properly belted in an upright position with
your back against the backrest.• Adjust the driver’s seat as far as possible
rearward, still permitting proper operation of
vehicle controls. The distance from the center
of the driver’s breastbone to the center of the
airbag cover on the steering wheel must be at
least ten inches (25 cm) or more. You should be
able to accomplish this by a combination of
adjustments to the seat and steering wheel. If
you have any problems, please see your
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.• Do not lean with your head or chest close to the
steering wheel or dashboard.• Keep hands on the outside of steering wheel
rim. Placing hands and arms inside the rim
can increase the risk and potential severity of
hand / arm injury when driver front airbag
inflates.
