R Change the emission values.
R Lead tomalfunctions.
R Result in consequential damage.
The operating saf ety of the engine is not guaran‐

If th eve hicle's engine output is increased:
R Tyres, suspension, brake sy stem and engine

R Vehicle must be recertified.
R Report changes in output tothe accident

WARNING Risk of accident and inju ry
due toleaving children unat tended in the

If ch ildren are left unat tended in theve hicle,
th ey could, in part icular:
R open doors, thereby endangering other
persons or road users.
R get out and be stru ck byoncoming traf fic.
R operate vehicle equipment and become
trapped, forex ample.
In addition, thech ildren could also set the
ve hicle in motion by,fo rex ample:
R releasing the parking brake.
R changing the transmission position.
R starting theve hicle. #
Never lea vechildren unat tended in the

DANG ER Risk of death caused by
ex haust gases
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
ga ses such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
th ese exhaust gases is hazardous tohealth
and leads topoisoning. #
Never lea vethe engine or, if present,

enclosed space wi thout suf ficient venti‐
lation. &
WARNING Risk offire due toflammable

#
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at
full thro ttle until the engine has reached
its operating temp erature. Note
s on short-distance trips
If th eve hicle is predominantly used in short-dis‐
ta nce driving, a fault in the automatic cleaning
function of the diesel particulate filter can occur.
Due tothis, fuel may also accumulate in the
engine oil and cause engine failure.
During automatic cleaning, extreme lyhot exhaust
ga ses escape from theex haust pipe. Maintain a
dis tance of at least 1 m to other objects, e.g.
par kedve hicles, in order toavoid material dam‐
age.
If yo u main lydrive short dis tances, you should
drive on a mo torw ay or go for a country drive for
20 minutes every500 km. This facilitates the
re ge neration of the diesel particulate filter.
Information about driving abroad
Service
An extensive Mercedes-Benz service is also avail‐
able abroad. Ne vertheless, please remember that
services or spare parts may not be available
immediatel y.The releva nt wo rkshop directories
are available from a Mercedes-Benz Service
Cent re.
Fu el
In some countries, only fuels with an inc reased
sulphur con tent are available.
Uns uitable fuel can cause engine damage. Yo u
can find fur ther information under "Fuel"
(/ page 270).

Ad Blue ®
is not available in suf ficient quality in all
countries. Therefore, check theAd Blue ®

Low beam
In countries in whi chtraf fic drives on the oppo‐
site side of thero ad from the count ryin which
th eve hicle is regis tere d, you will ha vetoswitch
th e headlamps tosymmetrical dipped beam. This
will pr event oncoming traf fic from being dazzled.
Symm etrical dipped beam will no longer illumi‐
nate the edge of the car riag ewa y as far or as

hicles with halogen headlamps:
It is not necessa ryto change the headlamps over
to symmetrical dipped beam. The statutory
requ irements of the count ries in which tra ffic
drives on the opposite side of thero ad from the
country in whi ch theve hicle is regis tere d are also
met without changing over.
Ve hicles with LED headlamps:
Yo u can set the low beam for driving on theright
or left via the on-board computer (/ page189).
Information about transport byrail
Tr ansporting your vehicle byrail may be subject
to cer tain restrictions or requ ire special meas‐
ures tobe take n in some countries due tovarying
tunnel heights and loading standards.
Yo u can obtain information about this from a

aptive brake lights warnfollowing traf fic in an
emergency braking situation with th efo llowing
signals:
R Byflashing the brake lamps
R By activating the hazard warning lights
If th eve hicle is braked sharply from speeds
abo ve50 km/h, the brake lamps flash rapidl y.
This pr ovides traf fic tr ave lling behind you with an
eve n more noticeable warning.
If th eve hicle is tr avelling at speeds of more than
70 km/h at the beginning of the brake applica‐
tion, the hazard warning lights switch on once the
ve hicle is stationar y.When pulling away again,
th e hazard warning lights switch off automatically
at appr oximately 10km/h.
Yo u can also swit choff the hazard warning lights
using the hazard warning button (/ page107). Cruise control and limiter
Fu
nction of cruise control
Cruise cont rol accelerates and brakes theve hicle
automatically in order tomaintain a pr eviously
st ored speed.
If yo u accelerate toove rtake, forex ample, the
st ored speed is not dele ted. If youre mo veyour
fo ot from the accelerator pedal af terove rtaking,
cruise control will resume speed regulation back
to thestored speed.
Yo u operate cruise control using the cruise con‐
trol le ver.Yo u can store any speed abo ve
30 km/h.
Obser vethe no tes on driving sy stems and your
re sponsibility; you may otherwise failto recog‐
nise dangers (/ page 153). Sy
stem limits
Cruise control may be unable tomaintain the
st ored speed on uphill gradients. The stored
speed is resumed if the uphill gradient evens out
and theve hicle's speed does not fall below
30 km/h.
On long and steep downhill gradients, you should
ch ange down toa lo werge ar in good time. Take
particular no teofthis when driving a laden vehi‐
cle. By doing so, you will make use of the
engine's braking ef fect. This will take some of the
st ra in off the brake sy stem and pr eventthe
brakes from overheating and wearing tooqu ickl y.
If yo uch ange wheel size on your vehicle, check it
is assigned tothe cor rect wheel size catego ry
( / page 258). If the category is changed without
re coding the cont rol units in theve hicle, the func‐
tioning of cruise cont rol may be impaired.
Do not use cruise control in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R in traf fic situations whe refrequent speed
ch anges are required, e.g. in heavy traf fic or
on winding roads
R off-road or on con stru ction sites
R on slippe ryor slick roads, as the drive wheels
can lose traction when accelerating and the
ve hicle can then skid
R ifth ere is poor visibility
Fu nction of the limiter
The limiter restricts the speed of theve hicle. To
adjust tothe set speed quickl y,the limiter applies

Yo u can limit the speed as follo ws:
R Variable: for speed restrictions, e.g. in built-
up areas.
R Perm anen t:for long-term speed restrictions,
e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode.
Yo u can operate theva riable limiter with the
