Warning!
Even with 4MATIC, the driver
should adapt his or her driving
style to the prevailing road
conditions. The capabilities of
a 4MATIC equipped vehicle do
not eliminate the dangers
associated with driving under
hazardous conditions. Do not
be misled by the vehicle’s
acceleration ability on slippery
roads. Excessive speed on
wet, icy or snow covered
roads, following another
vehicle too closely or aqua­
planing can result in loss of
vehicle control jeopardizing
the user’s safety or the safety
of others.
Note:
If the 4MATIC warning lamp
alone, or together with the func­
tion indicator lamp, lights up with
the engine running, a malfunction
has been detected. Should this
condition occur, park the vehicle
in a safe location, open the hood
and move the service switch
(located in the right side of the
engine compartment) to the stop
in position 2. The vehicle will now
be driven only by the rear wheels.
The vehicle level control system
will not function with the service
switch in position 2.
If a malfunction as described
above has been detected, we
recommend that you drive in
position 2 and visit an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer as soon as
possible to have the 4MATIC
checked.
Before the vehicle is ’’driven” on a
chassis dynamometer, the service
switch must be set to position 2.
The 4MATIC warning lamp comes
on in position 2 and goes out only
after the service switch is returned
to position 1.
The dynamometer test must not
exceed 15 minutes.
Before towing the vehicle, follow
the instructions listed under
Towing the vehicle (see Index).
