Mercedes-Benz USA LLC and/or its author-
ized repair or service facilities fail to
fix one or more substantial defects or mal-

by its express warranty after a reasonable
number of repair attempts. During the
period of 18 months from original delivery
of the vehicle or the accumulation of
18 000 miles (approximately 29 000 km) on
the odometer of the vehicle, whichever
occurs first, a reasonable number of repair
attempts is presumed for a retail buyer or
lessee if one or more of the following
occurs:
(1) the same substantial defect or mal- function results in a condition that is
likely to cause death or serious bodily
injury if the vehicle is driven, that
defect or malfunction has been subject
to repair two or more times, and you
have directly notified Mercedes-Benz

repair,
(2) the same substantial defect or mal- function of a less serious nature than
category (1) has been subject to repair
four or more times and you have directly notified us in writing of the
need for its repair, or
(3) the vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of the same or different sub-

your vehicle unsafe, it may affect the dura-
bility of the vehicle, and it may otherwise
void the limited, express warranty.
Always have the Scheduled Maintenance

Make sure the drive system is active when-
ever the vehicle is rolling. Have the brake
system repaired at an authorized electric
drive smart center, if there is a fault in the
brake system. If a brake circuit has failed (Y
page 167),
you must depress brake pedal 0043further
down to achieve the same effect and the
braking distance is increased.

WARNING
Do not turn off the drive system before the
vehicle has come to a complete stop. With
the drive system not running, there is no
power assistance for the brake and steering
systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher
degree of effort is necessary to brake and
steer the vehicle.

Control system>> Controls.

This is useful:
R
if you wish to cool the interior of the
vehicle before driving
R if you wish to charge the vehicle at a
charging station/wallbox at the most
inexpensive electricity rate
With the "Air conditioning before start"
function, the vehicle interior is cooled
prior to a desired departure time.
Prerequisites:
R The doors and tailgate are closed.
R The charging cable for the high‑voltage
battery is connected to a power source
and inserted into the vehicle's power
socket.
R The high‑voltage battery has a suffi-
cient charge.
The maximum duration of "Air condition-
ing before start" is 30 minutes.
Set the air distribution of your vehicle as
follows so that the "Air conditioning
before start" function has the greatest
effect:
R in summer, to the center and side vents
R in winter, onto the windshield and side
windows
Information on air distribution can be
found on (Y page 102).
The setting of the airflow regulator has no
influence on the "Air conditioning before
start" function.
i If the programmed time is too short, the
high‑voltage battery cannot be com-
pletely charged. After setting the depar-
ture time, the maximum charge level
which can be reached is then shown.
i If the high‑voltage battery is not suf-
ficiently charged and the "Air condi-
tioning before start" function is acti-
vated, the high‑voltage battery is
charged first. When a charge level of at
least 20 % has been reached, the "Air con-
ditioning before start" function is acti-
vated. This function then has priority over the charging of the high‑voltage
battery.

Starting the charging process of the
high‑voltage battery immediately This function allows you to start the charg-
ing process immediately. The charging
process begins as soon as the charging
cable is connected.
i The charging process also begins when
you insert the charging cable into the
vehicle's power socket. However, this is
only the case if you have not made any
departure time settings.
Information on the charging process can
be found on (Y page 115).

WARNING
When connected to a power supply socket, a
high electrical load during the charging
process can lead to overheating of the
external power supply. There is a risk of
fire.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current on site before you begin the charg-
ing process. Contact an authorized electric
drive smart center should you require
assistance. If necessary, adjust the set-
tings of your vehicle.
You can limit the charge current of the
high‑voltage battery. This can protect the
power supply from overloading. You can set
the limit either on the control unit of the
charging cable or via the control system.
The preset standard value is "Max". This
corresponds to the maximum available
charge current of the power supply.
Check the maximum permissible charge
current for the respective power supply
socket before charging the high‑voltage
battery.
The following values are available for
selection: 8 A,12 A,Max. The last value set
remains stored until a change is made.

ing cable and the control system, the

Notes

WARNING
Follow the recommended settings for heat-
ing and cooling given on the following pages. Otherwise the windows could fog up,
impairing visibility and endangering you
and others.
The air conditioning improves the level of
comfort when driving at high outside tem-
peratures by cooling and dehumidifying
the air.
Nearly all dust particles, pollutants, are
filtered out by an integrated particle fil-
ter before outside air enters the passenger
compartment through the air distribution
system. It also operates when the air con-
ditioning is switched off and you have
switched on the blower.
The dehumidification of the air by the air
conditioner prevents the windows from
misting up when the outside air humidity
is high.
This effect can also be used to defrost the
windows. For this, make sure, in addition
to the air conditioner, that the heater is
on the maximum setting.
The air conditioner only works when:
R the ignition is switched on
R the blower is switched on
R the driver's door is closed
Maximum effectiveness is achieved if you
drive with the windows closed.
If the operating temperature of the
high‑voltage battery is too high, the
high‑voltage battery is cooled by the air
conditioner. When the air conditioner
switches on, the cooling output in the vehi-
cle's interior is reduced as a result. The
temperature in the vehicle's interior may
rise briefly.
If the air conditioner is not switched on,
the compressor of the air conditioner and
the vehicle's cooling fan are switched on
automatically. This cools the high‑voltage
battery but not the vehicle's interior. When
the high‑voltage battery reaches the nom-
inal temperature again, the air condi-
tioner switches off automatically. Air conditioning with climate control

i
The range of the vehicle is decreased
when the air conditioner is switched on.
i In warmer weather, ventilate the
passenger compartment for a short
period of time before utilizing the air
conditioning.

ing before start" function can be found on
(Y page 90). 100
