Audio AUX mode An external audio source can be connected to the AUX socket of the audio system. Please contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for more information.

AUX socket : is designed for a 3.5 mm stereo jack (3-pin), for devices with dedicated analog audio output or connection via headphone port, e.g. MP3 or tape player. G Warning! Operating an external audio source while the vehicle is in motion will distract you. You may not notice changing road and/or traffic conditions which may cause an accident. Bear in mind that at a speed of just 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle is covering a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second. For your safety and the safety of others, pull over to a safe location and stop before operating an external audio source.

extremely variable. It is possible that a device connected as an external audio source will sound quieter or louder in the vehicle or that the usual maximum volume cannot be achieved. On certain devices the volume can be set separately. In this case, start at a moderate volume and increase it slowly. In this way, you can determine whether the system is capable of playback without distortion, even at high volume. Volume adjustment for the audio device You can increase the volume for the AUX socket in case the internal volume of the connected audio device is too low. Use the setting Boost for such devices. You should set the system back to Standard before connecting a different audio device to the AUX socket.

Driving systems Introduction This section describes the following driving systems of your vehicle: RCruise control RHill-start assist system RAll-wheel drive (4MATIC) RDynamic handling package with sport

driving mode

RParktronic system, Canada only RRear view camera The driving safety systems ABS, Adaptive Brake, BAS, EBP and ESP® are described in the “Safety and security” section (Y page 60).

The currently set speed or last set speed (“Resume” function) appears in the multifunction display for approximately 5 seconds. The corresponding cruise control speed segments : from the selected speed to the vehicle maximum speed in the multifunction display are illuminated. G Warning! The cruise control is a convenience system designed to assist the driver during vehicle operation. The driver is and must always remain responsible for the vehicle’s speed and for safe brake operation. Only use the cruise control if the road, traffic, and weather conditions make it advisable to travel at a constant speed. RThe use of the cruise control can be

dangerous on winding roads or in heavy traffic because conditions do not allow safe driving at a constant speed.

RThe use of the cruise control can be dangerous on slippery roads. Rapid changes in tire traction can result in wheel spin and loss of control.

RDeactivate the cruise control when driving

in fog.

X Briefly lift the cruise control lever in

direction of arrow : or press in direction of arrow ;.

X Remove your foot from the accelerator

pedal.

i On uphill grades, the cruise control may not be able to maintain the set speed. Once the grade eases, the set speed will be resumed. On downhill grades, the cruise control maintains the set speed by braking with the vehicle’s brake system. Vehicles with automatic transmission: In addition, on longer downhill grades the automatic transmission will downshift automatically.

i Vehicles with manual transmission: If you depress the clutch pedal when shifting into another gear, the engine speed may increase. RAlways drive with sufficient, but not

excessive, engine speed.

RShift the gear in a timely manner. RAvoid shifting down more than one gear

if at all possible.

Canceling cruise control X Depress the brake pedal. or X Briefly push the cruise control lever in

direction of arrow =. The last set speed is stored for later use. The last stored speed is deleted from memory when the engine is turned off. The cruise control switches off automatically when you depress the brake pedal or you engage the parking brake.

shift the automatic transmission into neutral position N while driving

The cruise control speed segments in the multifunction display goes out and an acoustic warning will sound. Observe additional messages in the multifunction display that may appear. Depressing the accelerator pedal does not deactivate the cruise control. After a brief acceleration (e.g. for passing), the cruise control will resume the last set speed.

Changing the set speed G Warning! Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment until the vehicle has made the necessary adjustments. Increase or decrease the set vehicle speed to a value that the prevailing road conditions and legal speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden and unexpected acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle could cause an accident and/ or serious injury to you and others.

You can increase or decrease the set speed in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments or in 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h) increments. When you use the cruise control lever to decelerate, the brake system will brake the vehicle automatically if the engine’s braking power does not brake the vehicle sufficiently. Adjustment in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments i The set speed value is increased or

decreased in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments each time you lift or press the cruise control lever up or down to the resistance point.

X Increasing: Briefly lift the cruise control

lever up to the resistance point in direction of arrow :.

X Decreasing: Briefly press the cruise

control lever down to the resistance point in direction of arrow ;.

decreased in 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h) increments each time you lift or press the cruise control lever up or down past the resistance point.

X Increasing: Briefly lift the cruise control

lever up past the resistance point in direction of arrow :.

X Decreasing: Briefly press the cruise

control lever down past the resistance point in direction of arrow ;.

X Release the cruise control lever.
