This Operator’s Manual contains a great

deal of useful information. We urge you to

read it carefully and familiarize yourself

with the vehicle before driving.

For your own safety and longer service life

of the vehicle, we urge you to follow the in-

structions and warnings contained in this

manual. Ignoring them could result in dam-

age to the vehicle or personal injury to you

or others. Vehicle damage caused by fail-

ure to follow instructions is not covered by

the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Your vehicle may have some or all of the

equipment described in this manual.

Therefore, you may find explanations for

optional equipment not installed in your

vehicle. If you have any questions about

the operation of any equipment, your

authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will be

glad to demonstrate the proper proce-

dures.

We continuously strive to improve our

product, and ask for your understanding

that we reserve the right to make changes

in design and equipment. Therefore, infor-

mation, illustrations and descriptions in

this Operator’s Manual might differ from

your vehicle.

Optional equipment is also described in

this manual, including operating instruc-

tions wherever necessary. Since they are

special-order items, the descriptions and

illustrations herein may vary slightly from

If there are any equipment details that are

not shown or described in this Operator’s

Manual, your authorized Mercedes-Benz

Center will be glad to inform you of correct

care and operating procedures. The
