DiagnosDiagnostics connectiontics connection
The diagnostics connection is a technical inter-
face in thevehicle. It is used, forexample, in the
context of repair and maintenance work or for
reading out vehicle data by a specialist workshop.
Diagnostic devices should therefore only be con-
nected by aqualied specialist workshop.
&WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to con-
necting devices to the diagnostics con-
nection
If you connect devices to the diagnostics con-
nection of thevehicle, the function of vehicle
systems and operating safety may be
impaired.
#For safetyreasons, we recommend that
you only use and connect products
approvedby your authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center.
&WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to objects
in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardizes the operating and road safety
of thevehicle.
#Stow all objects in thevehicle securely
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
#Always install the oor mats securely
and as prescribed in order to ensure that
there is always sucient room forthe
pedals.
#Do not use loose oor mats and do not
place oor mats on top of one another.
*NNOOTETE Battery discharging from using devi-
ces connected to the diagnostics connec-
tion
Using devices at the diagnostics connection
drains the battery.
#Check thecharge level of the battery.
#If thecharge level is low, charge the bat-
tery, e.g. by driving a considerable dis-
tance.
Please also note the information about the 12 V
battery and short-distance trips in the "Driving

themselves or exchange between themselves.
Some control units are required forthe safe oper-
ation of your vehicle, some assist you when driv-
ing, such as driver assistance systems, while oth-
ers enable convenience or infotainment functions.
The following provides you with general informa-
tion regarding data processing in thevehicle.
Additional information regarding exactly which
data in your vehicle are collected, saved and

General notes 2929
can be found in the information directly related to
the functional characteristics in question in their
respective Operator's Manual. This information is
also available online and, depending on thevehi-
cle equipment, digitally.
PPerersonal datasonal data
Every vehicle is identied by a unique vehicle
identication number. Depending on the country,
this vehicle identication number can be used by,
forexample, governmental authorities to deter-
mine the identity of theowner. There are other
possibilities to use data collected from thevehicle
to identify theowner or driver, such as the license
plate number.
Therefore, data generated or processed by control
units may be attributable to a person or, under
certain conditions, become attributable to a per-
son. Depending on which vehicle data are availa-
ble, it may be possible to make inferences about,
forexample, your driving behavior, your location,
your route or your use patterns.
LegLegal ral reqequiruirements rements regegararding tding the disclosurhe disclosure ofe of
datadata
If legally required to do so, manufacturers are, in
individual cases, legally obliged to provide govern-
mental entities, upon request and to theextent
required, data stored by the manufacturer. For
example, this may be the case during the investi-
gation of a criminal oense.
Governmental entities are themselves, in individ-
ual cases and within the applicable legal frame-
work, authorized to read out data from thevehi-
cle. In the case of an accident, information that
can help with an investigation can, therefore, be
taken from the airbag control unit, forexample.
Oper
Operational datational data in ta in the vhe vehicleehicle
This is data regarding the operation of thevehicle,
which have been processed by control units.
This includes thefollowing data, forexample:
RVehicle status information such as the speed,
longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration,
number of wheel revolutions or thefastened
seat belts display
RAmbient conditions, such as temperature, rain
sensor or distance sensor
Generally, the use of these data is temporary;
they will not be stored beyond the period of oper-
ation and will only be processed within thevehicle
itself. Control units oen contain data memories
forvehicle keys,forexample. Their use permits
thetemporary or permanent documentation of
technical information about thevehicle's operat-
ing state, component loads, maintenance require-
ments and technical events or malfunctions.
Depending on thevehicle equipment, thefollow-
ing data are stored:
ROperating status of system components, such
as ll levels, tire pressure or battery status
RMalfunctions or faults in important system
components, such as lights or brakes
RSystem reactions in special driving situations,
such as airbag deployment or the intervention
of stability control systems
RInformation on events leading to vehicle dam-
age
In certain cases, it may be required to store data
that would have otherwise been used only tempo-
rarily. This may be the case if thevehicle has
detected a malfunction, forexample.
3030 General notes
If you use services, such as repair services and
maintenance work, stored operational data as
well as thevehicle identication number can be
read out and used. They can be read out by
service network employees, such as workshops
and manufacturers or third parties, such as break-
down services. The same is true in the case of
warranty claims and quality assurance measures.
In general, thereadout is performed via the legally
prescribed port forthe diagnostics connection in
thevehicle. The operational data that are read out
document technical states of thevehicle or of
individual components and assist in the diagnosis
of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obliga-
tions and quality improvement. To that end, these
data, in particular information about component
loads, technical events, malfunctions and other
faults may be transmitted along with thevehicle
identication number to the manufacturer. Fur-
thermore, the manufacturer is subject to product
liability. Forthis reason the manufacturer also
uses operational data from thevehicle, forexam-
ple, forrecalls. These data can also be used to
examine the customer's warranty and guarantee
claims.
Fault memories in thevehicle can be reset by a
service outlet or at your request as part of repair
or maintenance work.

EvEvent datent data ra recorecordersders
USUSA onlyA only::
This vehicle is equipped with an event data
recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to
record, in certain crash or near crash-like situa-
tions, such as an airbag deployment or hitting a
road obstacle, data that will assist in understand-
ing how a vehicle's systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to vehicle
dynamics and safety systems for a short period of
time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such
data as:
RHow various systems in your vehicle were
operating
RWhether or not the driver and front passenger
seat belts were buckled/fastened
RHow far (if at all) the driver was depressing the
accelerator and/or brake pedal and
RHow fast thevehicle was traveling
This data can help provide a better understanding
of the circumstances in which accidents and inju-
ries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your
vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driv-
ing conditions and no personal data (e.g. name,
gender, age and accident location) is recorded.
However, other parties, such as law enforcement,
could combine EDR data with the type of person-
ally identifying data routinely acquired during a
crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip-
ment is required, and access to thevehicle or the
EDR is needed. In addition to thevehicle manu-
facturer, other parties that have the special equip-
ment, such as law enforcement, can read the
information by accessing thevehicle or the EDR.
EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat-
ters as a tool in accident reconstruction, accident
claims and vehicle safety. Since the Crash Data
Retrieval (CDR) tool that is used to extract data
from the EDR is commercially available,
Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC ("MBUSA") expressly
disclaims any and all liability arising from the
extraction of this information by unauthorized
Mercedes-Benz personnel.
MBUSA will not share EDR data with others with-
out the consent of thevehicle owner or, if the
vehicle is leased, without the consent of the les-
see. Exceptions to this representation include
responses to subpoenas by law enforcement; by
federal, state or local government; in connection
with or arising out of litigation involving MBUSA or
General notes 3333
its subsidiaries and aliates; or, as required by
law.
Warning: The EDR is a component of theRestraint
System Module. Tampering with, altering, modify-
ing or removing the EDR component may result in
a malfunction of theRestraint System Module and
other systems.
State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that
conict with federal regulation are pre-empted.
This means that in theevent of such conict, the
federal regulation governs. As of December 2016,
17 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.

The restraint system includes thefollowing com-
ponents:
RSeat belt system
RAirbags
RChild restraint system
RChild seat securing systems
The restraint system can help prevent thevehicle
occupants from coming into contact with parts of
thevehicle interior in theevent of an accident. In
theevent of an accident, therestraint system can
also reduce theforces to which thevehicle occu-
pants are subjected.
A seat belt can only provide the best level of pro-
tection if it is worn correctly. Depending on the
detected accident situation, Emergency Tension-
ing Devices and/or airbags supplement the pro-
tection oered by a correctly worn seat belt.
Emergency Tensioning Devices and/or airbags
are not deployed in every accident.
In order fortherestraint system to provide the
intended level of protection, each vehicle occu-
pant must observe thefollowing information:
RFasten seat belts correctly.
RSit in an almost upright seat position with their
back against the seat backrest.
RSit with their feet resting on the oor, if possi-
ble.
RAlways secure persons under 5 (1.50 m) tall
in an additional restraint system suitable for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
However, no system available today can com-
pletely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every
accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and
airbag generally do not protect against objects
penetrating thevehicle from the outside. It is also
not possible to completely rule out therisk of
injury caused by the airbag deploying.
RReduced reduced resestrtraint systaint system protem protectionection
&WWARNINGARNING Risk of injury or death due to

&WWARNINGARNING Risk of injury due to malfunc-
tions in therestraint system
Components in therestraint system may be
activated unintentionally or not deploy as plan-
ned in an accident.
#Have therestraint system checked and
repaired immediately at a qualied spe-
cialist workshop.
FFunction of tunction of the rhe resestrtraint systaint system in an accidentem in an accident
How therestraint system works is determined by
the severity of the impact detected and the type
of accident anticipated:
RFrontal impact
RRear impact
RSide impact
RRollover
The activation thresholds forthe components of
therestraint system are determined based on the
evaluation of the sensor values measured at vari-
ous points in thevehicle. This process is pre-emp-
tive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the
components of therestraint system must take
place in good time at the start of the collision.
Factors which can only be seen and measured
aer a collision has occurred do not play a deci-
sive role in the deployment of an airbag. Nor do
they provide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed signicantly without
an airbag being deployed. This is the case if only
parts which are relatively easily deformed are
aected and therate of vehicle deceleration is
not high. Conversely, an airbag may be deployed
even though thevehicle suers only minor defor-
mation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitu-
dinal members are hit, this may result in su-
ciently high levels of vehicle deceleration.
Depending on the detected deployment situation,
the components of therestraint system can be
activated or deployed independently of each
other:
REmergency Tensioning Device: frontal impact,
rear impact, side impact, rollover
RDriver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal
impact
RKnee airbag: frontal impact
RSide airbag: side impact
RHead airbag: side impact, rollover, frontal
impact
The front passenger airbag can only be deployed
in an accident if thePASSENGER AIR BAG OFF
indicator lamp is o. If the front passenger seat is
occupied, make sure, both before and during the
journey, that the status of the front passenger air-
bag is correct (/page 46).
3636 Occupant safety
&WWARNINGARNING Risk of burns from hot air bag
components
The air bag parts are hot aer an air bag has
been deployed.
#Do not touch the air bag parts.
#Have a deployed air bag replaced at a
qualied specialist workshop as soon as
possible.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
vehicle towedto aqualied specialist workshop
aer an accident. Take this into account, particu-
larly if an Emergency Tensioning Device is trig-
gered or an airbag deployed.
If the Emergency Tensioning Devices are triggered
or an airbag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and

Be diligentent
Bear in mind that negligence when securing a
child in thechild restraint system may have seri-
ous consequences. Always be diligent in securing
achild carefully before every journey.
Never allow babies and children to travel sitting
on the lap of another vehicle occupant.
To improve protection forchildren younger than
12 years old or under 5 (1.50 m) in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe thefol-
lowing information:
RAlways secure thechild in a child restraint sys-
tem suitable forthis Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
RThe child restraint system must be appropriate
to the age, weight and size of thechild.
5050 Occupant safety
RThe vehicle seat must be suitable for installing
achild restraint system.
Accident statistics show that children secured on
therear seats are generally saferthan children
secured on the front seats. Forthis reason,
Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you install a
child restraint system on a rear seat.

AAdvdvantantagage of a re of a rearwearwarard-fd-facing cacing child rhild resestrtraint syaint sys-s-
ttemem
It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child
in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint sys-
tem. In this case, thechild sits in the opposite
direction to the direction of travel and faces back-
wards.
Babies and small children have comparatively
weak neck muscles in relation to the size and
weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cer-
vical spine during an accident can be reduced in a
rearward-facing child restraint system.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not react
to:
RRoad users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
RRoad users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
RRoad users whose lighting is obstructed,
e.g. by a barrier
On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam
Assist Plus may fail to recognize other road
users with their own lighting, or may recognize
them too late.
In these, or in similar situations, the automatic
high beam will not be deactivated or will be
activated despite the presence of other road
users.

&WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident due to restric-
ted detection performance of vehicle sen-
sors and cameras
If the area around vehicle sensors or cameras
is covered, damaged or dirty, certain driving
and safety systems cannot function correctly.
There is a risk of an accident.
#Keep the area around vehicle sensors or
cameras clear of any obstructions and
clean.
#Have damage to the bumper, radiator
grille or stone chipping in the area of the
front and rear windowsrepaired at a
qualied specialist workshop.
Particularly,keep the areas around the sensors
and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush
(/page 278). The sensors and cameras must
not be covered and the detection ranges around
them must be kept free. Do not attach additional
license plate bracket, advertisements, stickers,
foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in
the detection range of the sensors and cameras.
Make sure that there are no overhanging loads
protruding into the detection range.
If there is damage to a bumper or theradiator
grille, or aer an impact, have the function of the
sensors checked at a qualied specialist work-
shop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area
of the cameras on the front and rear windows
repaired at a qualied specialist workshop.
%The rear view camera can extend and retract
automatically forthe purpose of calibration,
even though there is no camera image in the
display.

FFunction of Aunction of Activctive Speed Limit Assiste Speed Limit Assist
If a change in the speed limit of 12 mph
(20 km/h) or more is detected and automatic
adoption of speed limits is activated, the new
speed limit is automatically adopted as the stored
speed (/page 190).
The driven speed is adjusted when thevehicle is
level with the trac sign at the latest. In the case
of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the
speed is adapted according to the speed permit-
ted within the urban area. The speed limit display
in the Instrument Display is always updated when
thevehicle is level with the trac sign.
If there is no speed restriction on an unlimited
stretch of road (e.g. on a freeway), therecom-
mended speed is automatically adopted as the
stored speed. The system uses the speed stored
on an unlimited stretch of road as therecommen-
ded speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on
an unlimited stretch of road, therecommended
speed is 80 mph (130 km/h).
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put
into passive mode by pressing the accelerator
pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the
set speed are adopted.

FFunction of runction of routoute-based speed adapte-based speed adaptationation
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activa-

to theroute events ahead. Depending on the drive
program selected, thevehicle negotiates a route
event ahead in an economical, comfortable or
dynamic manner. When theroute event has been
passed, thevehicle accelerates again to the
stored speed. The set distance to thevehicle in
front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restric-
tions ahead are taken into account.
You can activate and deactivate route-based
speed adaptation in the multimedia system
(/page 179).
The following route events are taken into account:
RCurves

RTurns and exits
RTrac jams ahead (only with Live Trac Infor-

in thefollowing situations without detecting trac
signs.
The camera also detects trac signs with a
restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g.
when wet). These are only displayed if a restric-
tion applies or if the system cannot clearly deter-

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic park-

surrounding your vehicle and shows youthe dis-
tance between thevehicle and a detected obsta-
cle visually and audibly.
Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is
not a substitute foryour attention to the surround-

parking remains with you. Make sure that there
are no persons, animals or objects in the maneu-
vering area while maneuvering and parking in/
exiting parking spaces.
Driving and parking 205205
The passive side impact protection also warnsyou
of obstacles to the side. During the parking proce-
dure or maneuvering, objects are detected as the
vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of
a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral
collision, a warning is issued. In order for an
object on the side to be detected, the sensors in
the front and rear bumper must rst detect the
object while you are driving past it.
In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to
be displayed, thevehicle must rst travel a dis-
tance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the
vehicle has traveled one vehicle length, obstacles
on all sides can be shown.

heavy rain, may lead to a parking space being
measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are
partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be
identied as such or be measured incorrectly.
Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip
ground.
Do not use Active Parking Assist in thefollowing
situations:
RIn extreme weather conditions such as ice,

Your vehicle is equipped with the Mercedes-Benz
emergency call system ("eCall"). This feature can
help save lives in theevent of an accident. eCall
in no wayreplaces assistance provided from dial-
ing 911.
Mercedes-Benz eCall only functions in areas
where mobile phone coverage is available from
the wireless service providers. Insucient net-
work coverage from the wireless service providers
may result in an emergency call not being trans-
mitted.
eCall is a standard feature in your Mercedes-Benz
vehicle. In order to function as intended, the sys-
temrelies on the transmission of data detailed in
the "Mercedes-Benz emergency call system data
transmission" section that follows (/page 257).
To disable eCall, a customer must visit an author-
ized Mercedes-Benz Service department to deac-
tivate thevehicle's communication module.

%eCall is activated at thefactory.
%eCall can be deactivated by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer. Please note that in the
event ownership of thevehicle is transferred
to another owner in its deactivated state,
eCall will remain deactivated unless the new
owner visits an authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealership to reactivate the system.
OvOverervieview of tw of the Merhe Mercedes-Benz emergcedes-Benz emergency callency call

eCall can help to reduce the time between an
accident and the arrival of emergency services at
the site of the accident. It helps locate an acci-
dent site in places that are dicult to access.
However, even if a vehicle is equipped with eCall,
this does not mean the system is ON. As such,
eCall does not replace dialing 911 in theevent of
an accident.
An emergency call can be made automatically or
manually.
Only make emergency calls if you or others are in
need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in
theevent of a breakdown or a similar situation.

#The defective tire must be replaced in
every case.
With MOExtended tires (run-at tires), you can
continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tires. How-
ever, the tire aected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tires by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the side

&DDANANGERGER Risk of accident due to incorrect
tire pressure
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
should be checked monthly when cold and
inated to the ination pressure recommen-
ded by thevehicle manufacturer on thevehi-
cle placard or tire ination pressure label. (If
your vehicle has tires of a dierent size than
the size indicated on thevehicle placard or
tire ination pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tire ination pressure for
those tires.)
As an added safetyfeature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is
signicantly under-inated. Accordingly, when
the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as
possible, and inate them to the proper pres-
sure. Driving on a signicantlyunder-inated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead
to tire failure. Under-ination also reduces fuel
eciency and tire tread life, and may aect
thevehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute
for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driv-
er’s responsibility to maintain correct tire
pressure, even if under-ination has not
reached the levelto trigger illumination of the
TPMS low tire pressure telltale.
306306 Wheels and tires
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, thetelltale will ash for
approximately one minute and then remain
continuously illuminated. This sequence will
continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the installation of replacement or
alternate tires or wheels on thevehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly.
The system checks the tire pressure and the tire
temperature of the tires installed on thevehicle by
means of a tire pressure sensor.
The tire pressure and the tire temperature appear
in the on-board computer (/page 307).
If there is a substantial pressure loss or if the tire
temperature is excessive, you will be warned with
display messages (/page 392) or theh
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
(/page 414).
The tire pressure monitoring system is only an aid.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire pres-
sure to therecommended cold tire pressure suita-
ble forthe operating situation.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem will automatically update the new reference
values aer you have changed the tire pressure.
You can, however, also update thereference val-
ues by restarting the tire pressure monitoring sys-
tem manually (/page 308).

Trread wead wear grear gradeade
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating
based on thewear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a specied govern-
ment test course. Forexample, a tire graded 150
would wear one and one-half (1\1/2\) times as
314314 Wheels and tires
well on the government course as a tire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actual conditions of their use, however, and
may depart signicantly from the norm due to var-
iations in driving habits, service practices and dif-
ferences in road characteristics and climate.
TTrraction graction gradeade
&DDANANGERGER Risk of accident due to inade-
quate traction
The traction grade assigned to this tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests.
#Always adapt your driving style and drive
at a speed to suit the prevailing trac
and weather conditions.
*NNOOTETE Damage to the drivetrain from
wheelspin
#Avoid wheelspin.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are
AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire's
ability to stop on wet pavement as measured
under controlled conditions on specied govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire
marked C may have poor traction performance.
TTememperperaturaturegregradeade
&WWARNINGARNING Risk of accident from tire over-
heating and tire failure
Excessive speed, underination, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combination,
can cause excessive heat build-up and possi-
ble tire failure.
#Observe therecommended tire pressure.
#Regularlycheck the pressure of all the
tires.
#Adjust the tire pressure, if necessary.
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat
when tested under controlled conditions on a
specied indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained
high temperature can cause the material of the
tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces-
sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.
The grade C corresponds to a level of perform-
ance which all passenger car tires must meet
under theFederal Motor SafetyStandard No.
109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of
performance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.
