approved for your vehicle model.

Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conversion parts and accessory parts
that have been specifically approved for your vehicle model for their reliability,
safety and suitability. Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is
unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts no responsibil‐

officially approved or independently approved by a testing centre.

Certain parts are officially approved for installation or modification only if they
comply with legal requirements. All Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts meet the
approval requirements. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the
vehicle's general operating permit.

THIS WILL BE THE CASE IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:

R The vehicle type is different from that for which the vehicle's general
operating permit was granted.
R Other road users could be endangered.
R The emissions or noise levels get worse.

Approval categories in accordance with UN-R44


Transport a baby in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint system only. It is
also preferable to transport a small child in a suitable rearward-facing child
restraint system. In this case, the child sits in the opposite direction to the
direction of travel and faces backwards.

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 cervical spine during
an accident can be reduced in a rearward-facing child restraint system.

FUNCTION OF THE OFF-ROAD LIGHT


The off-road light improves illumination during off-road driving. The low beam
is distributed symmetrically and across a wide angle. This makes it easier to
find your way when driving off road and to detect obstacles at an early stage.
The active headlamps will be deactivated during this time so that steering
movements do not change the illumination.

Driving systems and your responsibility


Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems which assist you in driving, park‐
ing and manoeuvring the vehicle. The driving systems are only aids. They are
not a substitute for you paying attention to your surroundings and do not
relieve you of your responsibility pertaining to road traffic law. The driver is
always responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for
vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. Pay attention to
the traffic conditions at all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware of
the limitations regarding the safe use of these systems.

Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of accident if you fail to adapt your

% This function is an on-demand feature (/ page 106).
Trailer Manoeuvring Assist assists you when reversing with a trailer. The
reversing camera monitors the articulation angle between the vehicle and the
trailer and adjusts it to a specified value. Trailer Manoeuvring Assist also limits
your speed.

Trailer Manoeuvring Assist serves solely as an aid. It is not a substitute for you
having to pay attention to your surroundings. The responsibility for safe
manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Ensure that there are no persons,
animals or objects in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in/

You can enter the articulation angle value directly via the multimedia system,
or use a straightening or 90° manoeuvre. When carrying out a straightening
manoeuvre, the system calculates the articulation angle automatically and
straightens the vehicle/trailer combination to the trailer's current direction.

# To activate the straightening manoeuvre: select 2.


The system calculates the articulation angle in such a way that the direc‐
tion of the trailer at the time of activation is maintained. There is a short
countersteering movement of the trailer while the vehicle is reversing to
guide it back to the desired line. This allows the vehicle to align with the
trailer, while at the same time maintaining the trailer's direction.

or

# To activate the 90° manoeuvre:


R Align the vehicle in the same direction (line) as the trailer.
R Select 3 (left or right).

The system calculates the articulation angle so that a trailer can be man‐
oeuvred into a driveway at the most acute angle possible when it is per‐
pendicular to its own vehicle. After the manoeuvre, the vehicle is aligned
again in the trailer's direction.
# Accelerate and brake as required.

% The maximum articulation angle depends on the length of the


trailer. The system calculates this by driving the vehicle forwards,
including cornering. Before the trailer length has been calculated,
the maximum articulation angle is approximately 23°. The longer
the trailer, the greater the maximum articulation angle (max.
approximately 60°).

Maintenance and care ASSYST PLUS service interval display

Notes on special service requirements


The prescribed service interval is based on normal operation of the vehicle.
Have the maintenance work carried out more often than prescribed if operat‐
ing conditions are difficult or the vehicle is subject to increased stress.

The ASSYST PLUS service interval display is only an aid. It is the responsibility
of the driver of the vehicle to have maintenance work carried out more often
than prescribed due to actual operating conditions and/or stresses.

EXAMPLES OF ARDUOUS OPERATING CONDITIONS:

R Regular city driving with frequent intermediate stops


R Mainly short-distance driving
R Frequent operation in mountainous terrain or on poor road surfaces
R When the engine is often left idling for long periods
R Operation in particularly dusty conditions and/or if air-recirculation
mode is frequently used

In these or similar operating conditions, have the interior air filter, air filter,
engine oil and oil filter, for example, changed more frequently. Check the tyres
more frequently if the vehicle is operated under increased stress. Further
information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.

Battery disconnection periods


The ASSYST PLUS service interval display can calculate the service due date
only when the battery is connected.

# Display and note down the service due date on the driver display before
disconnecting the battery (/ page 671).

& WARNING & WARNING


Risk of injury due to damaged tyres Risk of aquaplaning due to insufficient tyre tread
Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss. Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip. There is a risk of
an accident.
# Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any
damaged tyres immediately. On a wet road surface the risk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular
where speed is not adapted to suit the conditions.

# Check the tread depth and the condition of the tyre contact
surface across the entire width of all tyres on a regular basis.

MINIMUM TREAD DEPTH FOR

R Summer tyres: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm

# For safety reasons, replace the tyres before the legally-prescri‐


bed limit for the minimum tread depth is reached.

# Replace the tyres immediately if the legally-prescribed limit for


the minimum tread depth is reached.

CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING CHECKS ON ALL WHEELS REGULARLY, AT


LEAST ONCE A MONTH OR AS REQUIRED, FOR EXAMPLE, PRIOR TO A
LONG JOURNEY OR DRIVING OFF-ROAD:
