Obser vethe no tes on auxiliary heating
(/ page 126).
The hot-water auxiliary hea ter has a heater boos‐
te r,stationary heater and stationary ventilation
function. In addition, the auxiliary heating sy stem
heats the engine coolant toprotect the engine.
The stationary heater automatically adapts its
operating mode tochanges in outside temp era‐
ture and weather conditions. It is therefore possi‐
ble that thest ationary heater may swit chfrom
ve ntilation toheating mode or from heating to
ve ntilation mode.
The stationary heater will automatically swit ch
itself off af ter a maximum of 50 minutes. The
heater boos ter function helps toheat up theve hi‐
cle while the engine is running and at low outside
te mp eratures.
Yo u can set up tothre e departure times for pre-
entry clima tecontrol byremo tecontrol or via the
multimedia sy stem. The switch-on time is then
calculated based on the outside temp erature and
th e activated departure time. This means that
yo ur vehicle is preheated or precooled bythe set
departure time.
If th e departure time is reached and the engine is
not star ted, the auxiliary heating will continue to Climate cont

Yo uth ereby make use of the braking ef fect of the
engine and do not ha vetobrake as of tento main‐

service brake and pr events the brakes from over‐
heating and wearing tooqu ickl y.
Heavy and light loads
If th e brakes ha vebeen subjected toa heavy
load, do not stop theve hicle immediatel y.Drive
on for a short while. The brakes cool down more
qu ickly in the air flow.
If th e brakes ha vebeen used only moderately,
yo u should occasionally test their ef fectiveness.
To do this, brake more firm ly from a higher speed
while pa ying attention tothe traf fic conditions.
The brakes will grip better as a result.
We tro ad sur faces
If yo u ha vebeen driving for a long time in heavy
ra in without braking, there may be a dela yed
re sponse when youfirs t apply the brakes. This
may also occur af ter driving thro ugh a car wash
or deep water.Yo u must depress the brake pedal
more firm ly. Maintain a grea ter dis tance tothe

While paying attention tothe traf fic conditions,
yo u should brake theve hicle firm lyafte r driving
on a wetro ad sur face or thro ugh a car wash. This
heats the brake disks so that they dry more
qu ickl y,which pr otects them against cor rosion.
Limited braking ef fect on salt-treate dro ads:
R a layer of salt on the brake disks or brakepads
can increase braking dis tances considerably,
or braking may happen on only one side
R maintain an especially large safe dis tance to

To remo vethe la yer of salt:
R apply the brakes from time totime, paying
attention totraf fic conditions
R carefully dep ress the brake pedal at the end
of a journey and af terth est art of a new jour‐

Ne w brake dis ksand brakepads
New brakepads and brake disks only reach their
optimal braking ef fect af ter appro ximately

Un tilthen, compensate forth ere duced braking
ef fect by applying greater pressure tothe brake
pedal. For saf etyre asons, Mercedes-Benz recom‐ mends
that you on lyha ve brakepads and brake
disks which are appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz
ins talled on your vehicle.
Other brake disks or brakepads may compromise
th e saf ety of your vehicle.
Alw aysre place all brake disks and brakepads on

If yo u wish tolimit theve hicle speed permanently
to a specific value (e.g. for driving in winter tyre
mode), you can set this speed with the perma‐
nent limiter. Yo
u can permanently limit the speed toava lue
between 160 km/h and the maximum permissi‐
ble speed (/ page160).
If yo u accelerate theve hicle using the accelera tor
pedal, a message with thestored speed is shown
in the multifunction display shortly before the set
limit speed is reached.
The permanent limiter remains active even if the
va riable limiter is deactivated. The permanent
limiter does not swit chtopassive mode even dur‐
ing kickdown and the driven speed remains
below the set speed.
