ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide has been prepared to help
you get quickly acquainted with your
new Mercedes-Benz and to provide
a convenient reference source for
common questions.
However, it is not intended as a
substitute for your Operator’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions,
maintenance procedures and important
safety messages, please consult your
Operator’s Manual and other warning
labels in your car.
SAFETY REMINDERS
Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped with
many safety engineering features,
including driver knee air bag and front,
side and window air bags for both the
driver and passenger.
Air bags do not replace your seat belts;
they supplement the protection offered
by seat belts.
Air bags can help protect you in a
severe frontal collision and in certain
side impacts, but they do not provide
protection in any other kind of collision.
Always make sure you and your
passenger wear safety belts.
Warning: The forces of a deploy-
ing air bag can cause serious or
fatal injury to a child under age
13. A child under 13 must not
be a passenger in this vehicle,
unless the child is belted into an
appropriate, properly installed
BabySmart™-compatible child
seat, which will deactivate the
passenger front air bag if the
child seat is properly installed.
See Operator’s Manual for addi-
tional warnings and information on
air bags, seat belts and child seats.
BabySmart™ is a trademark of Siemens
Automotive Company.
MAINTENANCE REMINDERS
Your Mercedes-Benz Center has a
total care package available for all
your vehicle needs.
We extend our best wishes for many
miles of safe, pleasurable driving.
