Vehicle equipment
i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also refers to safety-related systems and functions.
Important safety notes
You will find an illustration of the instrument cluster in the "At a glance" section (Y page 26). G Warning A driver's attention to the road and traffic conditions must always be his/her primary focus when driving. For your safety and the safety of others, selecting features through the multifunction steering wheel should only be done by the driver when traffic and road conditions permit it to be done safely. 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. G Warning! No messages will be displayed if either the instrument cluster or the multifunction display is inoperative. As a result, you will not be able to see information about your driving conditions, such as Rspeed Routside temperature Rwarning/indicator lamps Rmalfunction/warning messages Rfailure of any systems Driving characteristics may be impaired.
If you must continue to drive, do so with added caution. Contact an authorized Mercedes- Benz Center as soon as possible. G Warning Malfunction and warning messages are only indicated for certain systems and are intentionally not very detailed. The malfunction and warning messages are simply a reminder with respect to the operation of certain systems. They do not replace the owner's and/or driver's responsibility to maintain the vehicle's operating safety. Have all required maintenance and safety checks performed on the vehicle. Bring the vehicle to an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center to address the malfunction and warning messages.
Displays and operation Coolant temperature gauge G Warning Driving when your engine is overheated can cause some fluids which may have leaked into the engine compartment to catch fire. You could be seriously burned. Steam from an overheated engine can cause serious burns which can occur just by opening the engine hood. Stay away from the engine if you see or hear steam coming from it. Stop the vehicle in a safe location away from other traffic. Turn off the engine, get out of the vehicle and do not stand near the vehicle until the engine has cooled down.
The coolant temperature gauge is in the instrument cluster on the right-hand side. Under normal operating conditions and with the specified coolant level, the coolant temperature may rise to 248 ‡ (120 †). ! If the coolant temperature is too high a
display message is shown.

Version: 3.0.3.6Displays and operation 199
If the coolant temperature rises above 248 ‡(120 †), do not drive any further as this could damage the engine.
Tachometer The red band in the tachometer indicates the engine's overrevving range. ! Do not drive in the overrevving range, as
this could damage the engine.
The fuel supply is interrupted to protect the engine when the red band is reached.
Outside temperature display The outside temperature display is in the multifunction display. G Warning! The outside temperature indicator is not designed to serve as an ice-warning device and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose. Indicated temperatures just above the freezing point do not guarantee that the road surface is free of ice. The road may still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges.
Changes in the outside temperature are displayed after a short delay.
Speedometer with segments The segments in the speedometer indicate which speed range is available. Cruise control mode: The segments light up from the stored speed to the maximum speed. DISTRONIC PLUS mode: One or two segments around the stored speed light up.
Operating the on-board computer The on-board computer is activated as soon as you turn the SmartKey to position 1 in the ignition lock. You can control the multifunction display and the settings in the on-board computer using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel.

Display messages Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual
Possible causes/consequences and M Solutions The front-passenger air bag is enabled during the journey, although: Rthere is a child, a small adult or an object weighing less than the
system's weight threshold on the front-passenger seat.
Rthe front-passenger seat is unoccupied. The system may detect the additional weight of objects on the seat or forces acting on the seat. X Pull over and stop the vehicle safely as soon as possible, paying
attention to road and traffic conditions.
X Engage the parking brake. X Switch off the ignition. X Open the front-passenger door. X Remove the child and the child restraint system from the front-
passenger seat.
X If necessary, secure the child in a child restraint system on a
suitable rear seat.
X Make sure that there are no objects adding to the weight applied
to the seat. The system may otherwise detect the additional weight and interpret the seat occupant's weight as greater than it actually is.
X Make sure that the seat is unoccupied and has no objects placed on it, close the front-passenger door, and switch on the ignition.
Observe the 45(Y page 42) indicator lamps and the multifunction display and check the following: Seat unoccupied and ignition switched on: Rthe 45 indicator lamp must light up and remain lit. When the indicator lamp is on, OCS (Y page 42) has deactivated the front-passenger air bag. RThe Front Passenger Airbag Enabled See Operator's Manual or Front Passenger Airbag Disabled See Operator's Manual display messages must not appear. Wait for at least 60 seconds until the necessary system checks have been completed and to make sure that the display messages do not appear in the multifunction display.
If these conditions are met, the front-passenger seat can be occupied again. Whether the 45 indicator lamp remains lit or goes out depends on how OCS classifies the occupant. If the conditions are not met, the system is not operating correctly. X Visit a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

attention to road and traffic conditions.
X Engage the parking brake. X Switch off the ignition. X Have the occupant get out of the vehicle. X Make sure that the seat is unoccupied and has no objects placed on it, close the front-passenger door, and switch on the ignition.
