WarningG
Some jurisdictions prohibit the driver from
using a mobile phone while driving a vehicle.
Whether or not prohibited by law, for safety
reasons, the driver should not use the mobi-
le phone while the vehicle is in motion. Stop
the vehicle in a safe location before answe-
ring or placing a call.
If you nonetheless choose to use the mobile
phone while driving, please use the hands-
free device and be sure to pay attention to
the traffic situation at all times. Use the mo-

traffic conditions permit.
Never operate radio transmitters equipped
with a built-in or attached antenna (i.e.
without being connected to an external an-
tenna) from inside the vehicle while the en-
gine is running. Doing so could lead to
malfunction of the vehicle’s electronic sys-
tems, possibly resultin g in an accident and
personal injury.
!
Radio transmitters, such as a portable
telephone or a citizens band unit
should only be used inside the vehicle
if they are connected to a separate ex-
terior antenna that has been approved
by Mercedes-Benz.
