Measures for the 12 V on-board electrical system
battery if the vehicle is idle for lengthy periods
#
Seek advice from a qualified specialist work-
shop to avoid damage to the 12 V on-board
electrical system battery due to deep dis-
charge.
Measures for the high-voltage battery if the vehicle
is idle for lengthy periods
#
Park up the vehicle with the high-voltage bat-
tery at a charge level between 30% and 50%.
#
Do not keep the high-voltage battery continu-
ously connected to power supply equipment.
#
Check the charge level of the high-voltage bat-
tery every two to three months.
If the 12 V power supply is switched on, you
can check the charge level of the high-voltage
battery with the on-board computer.
#
If the charge level is insufficient, recharge the
high-voltage battery (

The on-board computer displays the charge
level of the high-voltage battery in the display
in the instrument cluster (

Driving and driving safety systems
Notes on driving systems and your responsibility
Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems
which assist you in driving, parking and manoeu-
vring 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 maintain-
ing a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehi-
cle speed, for braking in good time and for staying
in lane. Always pay attention to the traffic and
intervene if 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 driving style nor
override the laws of physics. They cannot always
take into account road, weather or traffic condi-
tions.
Information on vehicle sensors and cameras
Some driving and driving safety systems use cam-
eras and radar or ultrasonic sensors to monitor the
area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle.
1
Cameras in the outside mirrors
2
Multifunction camera
3
Front camera
4
Ultrasonic sensors
5
Reversing camera
%
Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the
radar sensors are integrated on the side of the
rear bumpers and/or behind the Mercedes
star in the radiator grille.
