Warning! This Sport Utility Vehicle is designed for both on-road and off-road use. It can go places and perform tasks for which conventional 2-wheel drive passenger cars were not intended. This vehicle will handle and maneuver differently from conventional passenger cars in driving conditions which may occur on streets, highways and off-road use. This vehicle has a higher ground clearance and a higher center of gravity than many passenger cars. As with other vehicles of this type, if you make sharp turns at excessive speeds or abrupt maneuvers, the vehicle may roll over or may go out of control and crash. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of vehicles. Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result in an accident, rollover of the vehicle, and severe or fatal injury. Before you start to drive this vehicle, read the Operator’s Manual. Take time to become familiar with the driving characteristics of this vehicle. Be sure you are familiar with all vehicle controls. Learn how your vehicle handles on different road surfaces. Do not attempt sharp turns at excessive speeds or abrupt maneuvers or other unsafe driving actions that can cause loss of vehicle control. When driving off-road or working the vehicle, do not overload it. And, always wear your seat belts at all times. In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt.

Electronic key
The electronic key has an integrated radio frequency and infrared remote control, plus removable mechanical key. The remote control (1) operates all locks on the vehicle. The mechanical key (2) works only in the driver’s door, tailgate, and glove box lock.
When using the mechanical key (2) for lock operations, it can be removed by sliding it out of the remote control. To do so, move locking tab (3) to the right and slide the mechanical key (2) in direction of arrow (4). The remote control transmitter is located in the electronic key. The infrared receiver is located in the driver’s door below the door handle.
Note: Remove the mechanical key from the electronic key when using valet parking service. To prevent access to rear cargo area or storage compartments lock them separately and retain the mechanical key. See page 39 for separate locking of tailgate and page 163 for locking of glove box.
Obtaining replacement keys Your vehicle is equipped with a theft deterrent locking system requiring a special key manufacturing process. For security reasons, replacement keys can only be obtained from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.

General notes on the central locking system If the electronic key is inserted in the starter switch, the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked with the remote control. If the vehicle cannot be locked or unlocked: • Check the batteries of the electronic key, see
page 343, or synchronize the electronic key, see page 345.
• Use the mechanical key to unlock the vehicle. To
start engine, insert the electronic key in the starter switch. There could be a slight delay until the electronic key can be turned in the starter switch.
Important! When unlocking the driver’s door with the mechanical key, the exterior lamps will flash and the alarm will sound. To cancel the alarm, insert the electronic key in the starter switch or press button Œ or ‹ on the electronic key.

Easy-entry/exit feature With the easy-entry/exit feature activated the steering wheel tilts upwards. This allows easier entry into and exit from the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened. However, the engine must be turned off. The easy-entry/exit feature can be switched on or off in the individual setting menu “CONVENIENCE” – “EASY-ENTRY FEATURE ACTIVATE”, see page 120. When the electronic key is inserted in the starter switch and the driver’s door is closed the steering wheel returns to the last position set for it.
Warning! You must ensure that no one can become trapped or injured by the moving steering wheel when the easy-entry/exit feature is in operation and the driver’s door is being opened or the electronic key is removed from the starter switch. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause serious personal injury.

Front seat adjustment
Warning! Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving. Adjusting the seat while driving could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. Never ride in a moving vehicle with the seat back reclined. Sitting in an excessively reclined position can be dangerous. You could slide under the seat belt in a collision. If you slide under it, the belt would apply force at the abdomen or neck. That could cause serious or fatal injuries. The seat back and seat belts provide the best restraint when the wearer is in an upright position and belts are properly positioned on the body. Never place hands under seat or near any moving parts while a seat is being adjusted.
When leaving the vehicle always remove the electronic key from the starter switch, and lock your vehicle. The power seats can also be operated with the driver’s or front passenger door open. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause serious personal injury.
To operate the front power seat adjustment switches, turn the electronic key in starter switch to position 1 or 2 (with respective front door open, the power seats can also be operated with the electronic key removed or in starter switch position 0).
Note: If the passenger side seat backrest is set to a full upright position and the passenger seat is moved fully forward, the cup holder next to the armrest must be removed (page 166) and the cup holder in the passenger footwell (page 167) must be folded closed.
