Correct driver's seat position
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel and mirror and fasten your
seat belt before starting the engine.
XObserve the safety guidelines on seatadjustment (Ypage 85).
XMake sure that seat

"Digital Vehicle Key" function is activated via
Mercedes me connect. Never leave children
unsupervised in the vehicle.
The seats can still be adjusted when there isno SmartKey in the ignition lock.
GWARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle
occupants could become trapped, e.g. on
the seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
When adjusting a seat, make sure that no
one has any body parts in the sweep of the
seat.
GWARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could
move forwards as far as the next catch dur-
ing movement such as braking or abrupt
changes of direction. As a result, you would
be pushed against your seat belt by the
unsecured driver's seat.
This could cause you to lose control of the
vehicle. The seat belt cannot protect as
intended and could result in additional
injury.
There is a risk of an accident and injury.
Before every journey, make sure that the
driver's seat is fully engaged.
Observe the safety notes on "Air bags"(Ypage 43) and "Children in the vehicle"(Ypage 53).
GWARNING
If the driver's seat is not engaged, it could
move unexpectedly while the vehicle is in
motion. This could cause you to lose control
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Always make sure that the driver's seat is
engaged before starting the vehicle.
GWARNING
If you adjust the seat height carelessly, you
or other vehicle occupants could be trapped
and thereby injured. Children in particular
could accidentally press the electrical seat
adjustment buttons and become trapped.
There is a risk of injury.
While moving the seats, make sure that your
hands or other body parts do not get under
the lever assembly of the seat adjustment
system.
GWARNING
If the head restraints are not installed or not
adjusted correctly, they cannot provide pro-
tection as intended. There is an increased
risk of injury in the head and neck area, e.g.
in the event of an accident or when braking.
Always drive with the head restraints instal-
led. Before driving off, make sure for every
vehicle occupant that the center of the head
restraint supports the back of the head at
about eye level.
GWARNING
You could lose control of your vehicle if you
do the following while driving:
Radjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel or mirrors
Rfasten the seat belt
There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust the driver's seat, head restraint,
steering wheel and mirror and fasten your
seat belt before starting the engine.
!To prevent damage to the seats and theseat heating, observe the following notes:
RDo not spill liquids onto the seats. Dry theseats as soon as possible if liquid doesget spilled on the seats.
RIf the seat covers are damp or wet, do notswitch on the seat heating. Also, do notuse the seat heating to dry the seats.
RClean the seat covers as recommended;see the "Interior care" section.
RDo not transport heavy loads on theseats. Do not place pointed objects onthe seat cushions such as knives, nails ortools. Where possible, use the seats onlyfor carrying passengers.
RWhen operating the seat heating, do notcover the seats with insulating materials,

Problems with the seat heating
ProblemPossible causes/consequences andPPSolutions
The seat heating hasswitched off prema-turely or cannot beswitched on. The vehi-cle's electrical systemvoltage is too lowbecause too many elec-trical consumers areswitched on.
Switch off electrical consumers that you do not need, such as therear window defroster or interior lighting.
Once the battery is sufficiently charged, switch on the seat heatingagain.
AIRSCARF
Setting head level heating (AIRSCARF)
GWARNING
When AIRSCARF is switched on, very hot air
can flow from the vents in the head
restraints. This could result in burns in the
immediate vicinity of the air vents. There is a
risk of injury.
Reduce the heater output before it becomes
too hot.
The AIRSCARF function warms the head andneck area of vehicle occupants with warm air.The warm air flows out of the holes in the headrestraints.
The three red indicator lamps in the buttonindicate the heating level you have selected.
XEnsure that the SmartKey is in positionHin the ignition lock.
XTo switch on:press buttonC.Three red indicator lamps in the button lightup. The blower starts up after a preheatingphase of seven seconds.
XPress buttonCrepeatedly until the desiredheating level is set.
XTo switch off:press buttonCrepeatedlyuntil all the indicator lamps go out.
iThe blower continues running for sevenseconds to cool down the heating elements.
iIf the battery voltage is too low, AIRSCARFmay switch off.
Problems with AIRSCARF
AIRSCARF has switched off prematurely or willnot switch on. The vehicle's electrical systemvoltage is too low because too many electricalconsumers are switched on.
XSwitch off electrical consumers that you donot need, such as the rear window defrosteror interior lighting.
XSwitch on AIRSCARF again.
