Important safety notes
United Kingdom only: G
WARNING
When the double locks are activated, the
doors can no longer be opened from the
inside. People in the vehicle can no longer get out, e.g. in hazardous situations. There is a
risk of injury.
Therefore, do not leave any people unsuper-
vised in the vehicle, particularly children, eld-
erly people or people in need of special assis-
tance. Do not activate the double lock when
people are in the vehicle.
If the vehicle has been locked from the out-
side, the double-lock function is activated as
standard. It is then not possible to open the
doors from inside the vehicle. You can deac-
tivate the double-lock function by deactivat-
ing the interior motion sensor (Y page 80).
The doors can then be opened from the inside after the vehicle has been locked from the
outside. The anti-theft alarm system is trig- gered if the door is opened from the inside.
Switch off the alarm (Y
page 79).
All countries: G
WARNING
If children are left unsupervised in the vehicle, they could:
R open doors, thereby endangering other per-
sons or road users
R get out and be struck by oncoming traffic
R operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, for example
In addition, the children could also set the
vehicle in motion, for example, if they:
R release the parking brake
R shift the automatic transmission out of park
position P or shift manual transmission into
neutral
R start the engine
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the key with you and lock the vehicle. Never leave
children and animals unattended in the vehi-
cle. Keep the keys out of the reach of children. 90

The traffic information is provided by a traffic
data supplier and is based on various sources and data. It is necessary to regularly transmitinformation on your vehicle's position to
Daimler AG if you wish to use Live Traffic
Information. This data is then made anony-
mous and forwarded to the traffic data sup-
pliers. This anonymous data is used to trans-
mit all traffic reports to the vehicle that are
relevant for the current vehicle position. On
the other hand, as the vehicle acts as a traffic flow sensor, the quality of the traffic reports is
enhanced (source for Floating Car Data). The
anonymous data is not stored permanently.
i If you do not wish to send your vehicle's
positions, contact a Mercedes-Benz Ser-
vice Centre. Please note that by switching
off this function, Live Traffic Service will
also be automatically deactivated.

TMC traffic reports in addition to the radio
programme. COMAND Online can receive
RDS-TMC traffic reports and take them into
consideration for dynamic (traffic-depend-
ent) route guidance. This means the naviga-
tion system can guide you around a traffic
jam, for example.
There may also be differences between the
traffic reports received and the actual road
and traffic conditions.
The respective traffic data being received
appears on the top right of the display with
the symbol "TMC". If there is no reception, no
symbol is displayed.
i FM RDS-TMC is not available in all coun-
tries.
