Safety guidelines for seat belts, Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and air bags G WARNING R Damaged seat belts or seat belts that have been subjected to stress in an accident must be replaced. Their anchoring points must also be checked. Only use seat belts installed or supplied by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in severe injuries to you or other occupants. If you sell your vehicle, it is important that you make the buyer aware of this safety information.
If the vehicle overturns, the front air bags are generally not deployed. If the system detects high vehicle deceleration in a longitudinal direction, the front air bags are deployed.
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for availability. G WARNING The pressure sensors for side impact air bag control are located in the doors. Do not modify any components of the doors or door trim panels including, for example, the addition of door speakers.
Head bags Example: headbag on the front-passenger side The Cabriolet is equipped with head bags. Headbags enhance the level of protection for the head, but not chest or arms, of the vehicle occupants on the side of the vehicle on which the impact occurs.
Pelvis air bags : will not deploy in side impacts which do not exceed the system's preset deployment thresholds for lateral acceleration/deceleration.

bag is deactivated. Should the 45 indicator lamp not illuminate or go out while the restraint is installed, please check installation. Periodically check the 45 indicator lamp while driving to make sure that the 45 indicator lamp is illuminated.
The OCS weight sensor reading is affected if the occupant's weight is transferred, e.g. by leaning on the armrest. If the front-passenger seat, the seat cover or the seat cushion are damaged, have the necessary repair work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Problems with the Occupant Classification System G WARNING If the 45 indicator lamp illuminates and remains illuminated when the weight of a typical adult or someone larger than a small individual has been detected on the passenger seat, do not allow any occupant to use the passenger seat until the system has been repaired.
Roll bar (Cabriolet) G DANGER If the roll bar is malfunctioning, the A Malfunction Service Required message appears in the multifunction display.

Useful information i This Operator's Manual describes all models and all standard and optional equipment of your vehicle available at the time of publication of the Operator's Manual. Country-specific differences are possible. Please note that your vehicle may not be equipped with all features described.
G WARNING If the parking brake has not been fully released when driving, the parking brake can: R overheat and cause a fire R lose its hold function. There is a risk of fire and an accident. Release the parking brake fully before driving off. ! Warm up the engine quickly.
Key positions with KEYLESS-GO As soon as the ignition is switched on, all the indicator lamps in the instrument cluster light up. If an indicator lamp does not go out after starting the engine or lights up while driving, see ( Y page 258). X Insert Start/Stop button : into ignition lock ; .
Starting procedure with the SmartKey i To start the engine using the SmartKey instead of KEYLESS-GO, pull the Start/ Stop button out of the ignition lock. X Turn the SmartKey in the ignition lock to position 3 ( Y page 151) and release it as soon as the engine is running.
It holds the vehicle for a short time after you have removed your foot from the brake pedal. This gives you enough time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal and to depress it before the vehicle begins to roll. X Take your foot off the brake pedal.

i Every time you switch on the engine using the SmartKey or the Start/Stop button, the ECO start/stop function is activated. 156 Driving Driving and parking.
Problems with the engine Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions The engine does not start. The starter motor can be heard. R There is a malfunction in the engine electronics.
Automatic transmission Important safety notes G WARNING If the engine speed is above the idling speed and you engage transmission position D or R , the vehicle could pull away suddenly. There is a risk of an accident. When engaging transmission position D or R , always firmly depress the brake pedal and do not simultaneously accelerate.
Transmission positions B Park position Do not shift the transmission into position P ( Y page 167) unless the vehicle is stationary. The parking lock should not be used as a brake when parking. In addition to engaging the parking lock, you must always apply the parking brake to secure the vehicle.
Driving tips Kickdown Use kickdown for maximum acceleration. X Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point. The transmission shifts to a lower gear depending on the engine speed. X Ease off the accelerator pedal once the desired speed is reached.
Automatic drive program Drive program E is characterized by the following: R the vehicle pulling away more gently in forward and reverse gears, unless the accelerator pedal is depressed fully R increased sensitivity. This improves driving stability on slippery road surfaces, for example R the automatic transmission shifting up sooner.
Clearing the shift range restriction X Press and hold the selector lever towards D+ until D is shown once more in the multifunction display. or X Pull and hold the right-hand steering wheel paddle shifter until D is shown again in the multifunction display.
i During kickdown, you cannot change gear using the steering wheel paddle shifters or the selector lever. Switching off the manual drive program X Vehicles with the dynamic handling package: press the program selector button ( Y page 160) repeatedly until E or S appears in the multifunction display.
Problems with the transmission Problem Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions The transmission has problems shifting gear. The transmission is losing oil. X Have the transmission checked at a qualified specialist workshop immediately. The acceleration ability is deteriorating.
otherwise automatically intervene. The brake system could otherwise be damaged. ! Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed with either the front or the rear axle raised, as doing so will damage the transmission. This section is only valid for vehicles with 4- wheel drive (4MATIC).

Steering and braking requires significantly more effort and you could lose control of the vehicle and cause an accident as a result.
Acceleration (evaluation of all acceleration) The bar fills up: The bar empties: Moderate acceleration, especially at high speeds Sporty acceleration Constant (evaluation of driving style at any time).
! Depressing the brake pedal constantly results in excessive and premature wear to the brake pads. If the brakes have been subjected to a heavy load, do not stop the vehicle immediately, but drive on for a short while. This allows the airflow to cool the brakes more quickly.
! Vehicles with 4MATIC: as the ESP ® system operates automatically, the engine and the ignition system must be switched off (SmartKey in position 0 or 1 in the ignition lock or Start/Stop button in position 0 or 1 ) when: R testing the parking brake on a brake dynamometer.

Regular checking of wheels and tires G WARNING Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident. Check the tires regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tires immediately.
Selecting, mounting and replacing tires R Only mount tires and wheels of the same type and make. R Only mount tires of the correct size onto the wheels. R Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km). They only reach their full performance after this distance.
Always observe the maximum permissible speed specified for the M+S tires you have mounted. Once the winter tires are mounted: X Check the tire pressures ( Y page 329). X Vehicles for Canada: restart the tire pressure loss warning system ( Y page 329).
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures and check the pressure of all the tires including the spare wheel: R monthly, at least R if the load changes R before beginning a long journey R under different operating conditions, e.g. off-road driving If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
Some tire pressure tables show only the rim diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g. R18 . The rim diameter is part of the tire size and can be found on the tire sidewall ( Y page 338).
