Sport Utility Vehicle
& WARNING Risk of accident when the
center of gravity is too high
The vehicle may start to skid and rollover in
the event of sudden steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not adap‐
ted to the road conditions.
#
Always adapt your speed and driving
style to the vehicle's driving character‐
istics and to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll‐
over rate than other types of vehicles.
If this type of vehicle is not driven safely, an acci‐
dent can occur, the vehicle can roll over and
occupants can suffer serious or even fatal inju‐
ries.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signifi‐
cantly more likely to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always
wear your seat belts.
Notes for persons with electronic medical
aids

developing vehicle systems, completely rule out
the interaction of vehicle systems with electronic
medical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.

the vehicle that, regardless of the operating sta‐
tus of the vehicle, can generate magnetic fields
on a par with permanent magnets. This fields
can, for example, be in found in the multimedia

depending on the vehicle equipment.
For this reason, the following can occur in isola‐
ted cases, depending on the aids used:
R
Aids malfunctioning
R

Observe the notes and warnings of the manufac‐
turer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the
device manufacturer and/or your doctor.
Mercedes‑Benz AG recommends using only few
electrical vehicle systems and/or maintaining a
distance from the components if there is con‐
tinuing uncertainty concerning the possibility of
medical aids malfunctioning.
Only have repairs and maintenance work in the
area of the following components carried out by
a qualified specialist workshop:
R
