warning lamps in the instrument cluster are
lit continuously when the engine is running.
There is an increased risk of your vehicle skid-
ding in certain situations.
You should always adapt your driving style to
suit the prevailing road and weathe rcondi-
tions.

ETS (Electronic Traction System) Traction control is part of ESP
®
.
Traction control brakes the drive wheels indi-
vidually if they spin. This enables you to pull
away and accelerate on slippery surfaces, for
example if the road surface is slippery on one
side.
Traction control remains active if you deacti-
vate ESP ®
. G
Risk of accident
Traction control cannot reduce the risk of an
accident if you drive too fast. Traction control
cannot override the laws of physics. 48

EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribu-
tion)
EBD monitors and controls the brake pres-
sure on the rear wheels to improve driving
stability while braking. G
Ris
kofa ccident
If EBV is malfunctioning, the brake system is
still available with full brak eboosting effect.
However, the rear wheels can still lock, e.g.
under full braking. This could cause you to
lose control of your vehicle and cause an acci-
dent. You should therefore adapt your driving
style to the different handling characteristics. ADAPTIVE BRAKE
ADAPTIVE BRAKE enhances braking safety
and offers increased braking comfort. In addi-
tion to the braking function, ADAPTIVE BRAKE
also features the hill start assist function
(Y page 221). For further information, see
Driving tips (Y page 277). Anti-theft systems

Loc kthe vehicle using the key.
Tow-away protection is primed after
approximately 30 seconds.
Deactivating tow-away protection Tow-away protection is automatically deacti-
vated when you unlock your vehicle using the
key.
To prevent a false alarm, deactivate tow-away
protection manually if your vehicle:
R is being transported
R is being loaded, e.g. onto a ferry or car
transporter
R is parked on a movable surface, e.g. in a
split-level garage X

X Lock the vehicle using the key.
Tow-away protection remains deactivated
until the vehicle is unlocked and locked
again. Interior motion sensor
If the interior motion sensor is primed, a vis-
ual and audible alarm is triggered when move-
ment is detected in the vehicle interior while
the vehicle is locked. This occurs, for exam-
ple, if someone breaks the side windows of
your vehicle or reaches into the vehicle's inte-
rior.
Priming the interior motion sensor X
Make sure that the side windows are
closed.
X Make sure that there are no objects, such
as mascots, attached to the rear-view mir-
ror.
This will prevent false alarms.
X Make sure that the boot lid is closed.
Only then can the interior motion sensor be
primed.
X Lock the vehicle using the key.
The interior motion sensor is primed after
approximately 30 seconds.
i Do not place any objects on the armrest
in the centre console. Otherwise, the oper-
ation of the interior motion sensor is
restricted.
Metallic objects coming into contact with
other metallic objects, for example, keys,
on, near or in the armrest in the centre
console, may trigger a false alarm. These
could otherwise trigger false alarms.
Deactivating the interior motion sensor The interior motion sensor is automatically
deactivated when you unlock your vehicle
using the key.
To prevent a false alarm, deactivate the inte-
rior motion sensor if you lock your vehicle
and:
R people remain in the vehicle
R animals remain in the vehicle
R the side windows remain open 50

Risk of accident
Your attention must always be focused on the
traffic conditions.
Only use COMAN Dorthe telephone when the
road and traffic conditions permit.
Bear in mind that, at a speed of only
50 km/h, your vehicle covers a distance of
nearly 14 mper second. The navigation sys-
tem will not provide you with information
about stop signs, give-way signs, traffic regu-
lations or road safety features. It is up to you
to pay attention to these while driving the
vehicle. Only enter a new destination when
the vehicle is stationary.
This radio can be operated by anyone in
accordance with the relevant EC directive.
The equipment corresponds to curren tEuro-
pean and harmonised national standards.
This guarantees that the equipmen tconforms
to the relevant specifications regarding elec-
tromagnetic compatibility.
As a result, interference caused by your
equipment to other electrical/electronic
equipment and interference to your equip-
ment caused by other electrical/electronic
equipment can be largely prevented.
The equipment is approved by the vehicle
manufacturer in accordance with European
Automotive EMC Directive 95/54/EC. This
means that the equipment in your vehicle is
authorised for use accordin gto the given reg-
ulations. The equipment does not require cer-
tification
The equipment conforms to the relevant
equipment-specific EMC specifications in
accordance with the following European
standards:
EN 55013
EN 55020 Correct use Observe the following information when using
COMAND:
R
the safety notes in this manual
R national road traffic regulations
i Improper work on electronic components
or other systems (such as radio, DVD
changer*) and their software may result in
malfunction or failure. Even systems that
have not been modified could be affected
because the electronic systems are con-
nected. Electronics malfunctions can seri-
ously compromise the operational safety of
your vehicle.
i Only have work on or changes to elec-
tronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to
carry out the work. Daimler recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Function restrictions while the vehicle
is in motion For safety reasons, some COMAND functions
are restricted or unavailable while the vehicle
is in motion
.You will notice this, for example,
because you will either not be able to select
certain menu items or because COMAND will
display a message to that effect. 54
