WARNING Risk offire and accident when
transpo rting subs tances which are haz‐
ardous tohealth or react aggressively
Gases and fluids can even escape from con‐

This can adversely af fect your concentration
during the journey and your health. Elect ronic
component pa rts may also experience mal‐
functions, short circuits or sy stem failures. #
Do not stowor transport any subs tan‐
ces which are hazardous tohealth
and/or aggressively reactive in theve hi‐

R acid Information on
the REACH directive
EU and EFTA count ries onl y:
The REA CHdirective (Directive (EC) No.
19 07 /2006, Article 33) stipulates a duty tosup‐
ply information about subs tances of very high
concern (SVHCs).
Mercedes‑Benz AGacts tothe best of its know l‐
edge toprev ent these SVHCs from being used
and toenable cus tomers tosafely handle these
subs tances. The reare SVHCs known to
Mercedes‑Benz AG, according tosupplier infor‐

sfo r persons with electronic medical
aids
Despite careful de velopment, Mercedes-Benz AG
cannot comple tely rule out the interaction of
ve hicle sy stems with electronic medical aids such
as cardiac pacemakers.
In addition, there are components built into the
ve hicle that, rega rdless of the operating status of
yo ur vehicle, can generate magnetic fields on a
par with permanent magnets. These fields can be
fo und, forex ample, in the area around the multi‐
media and sound sy stem or also in the seating
area, depending on theve hicle equipment.
Fo rth is reason, thefo llowing can occur in isola‐
te d cases, depending on the aids used:
R medical aids malfunctioning
R adverse health ef fects
Obser vethe no tes and warnings of the manufac‐
turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the
device manufacturer and/or your doc tor.If th ere
is continuing uncer tainty concerning the possibil‐
ity of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-
Benz AGrecommends using only a few elect rical
ve hicle sy stems and/or maintaining an appropri‐
ate dis tance from the components. General no
tes23

#
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

An extensive Mercedes-Benz service is also avail‐
able abroad. Ne vertheless, please remember that
