Roof carrier
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
When a load is transported on the roof, the
vehicle's centre of gravity rises and the han-
dling changes. If you exceed the maximum
roof load, the handling as well as steering and
braking characteristics are severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Always observe the maximum roof load and
adapt your driving style.
!
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof carrier in such a
way that the vehicle will not sustain damage
even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, ensure
that when the roof carrier is fitted you can:
R
open the panorama sliding sunroof fully
R
open the boot lid fully
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical Data" section
(Y page 333).
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof
carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Attaching the roof carrier
X
Open and fold the covers : upwards care-
fully in the direction of the arrow.
X
Only secure the roof carrier to the anchorage
points under covers :.

Mobile phone
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Operating mobile communications equip-
ment while driving distracts you from paying
attention to traffic conditions. This could also
cause you to lose control of the vehicle. There
is a risk of an accident.
Use this device only when the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
You must observe the legal requirements for the
country in which you are currently driving when
operating mobile communications equipment in
the vehicle.
If it is permitted by law to operate communica-
tions equipment while the vehicle is in motion,
you may only do so if the traffic situation per-
mits. You may otherwise be distracted from the
traffic conditions, cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R
optimal mobile phone reception quality in the
vehicle
R
that mutual interference between the vehicle
electronics and mobile phones is minimised
An exterior aerial has the following advantages:
R
it conducts the electromagnetic fields gener-
ated by a wireless device to the exterior
R
the field strength in the vehicle interior is
lower than in a vehicle that does not have an
exterior aerial
Information on fitting two-way radios and mobile
phones (RF transmitters) (Y page 325).
General notes
There are various mobile phone brackets that
may be fitted in your vehicle; in some cases,
these are country-specific.
More information on suitable mobile phones,
mobile phone brackets and on connecting Blue-
tooth
®
-capable mobile phones with the multi-
media system can be obtained:
R
at your Mercedes-Benz Service Centre
R
on the Internet at
The functions and services available when you
use the phone depend on your mobile phone
model and service provider.
Using a mobile phone
To connect a mobile phone to the exterior aerial
and charge it, insert it into the mobile phone
bracket.

Place the mobile phone bracket into the pre-
installed fitting; see the separate installation
instructions for the mobile phone fitting.

bracket; see the separate installation instruc-
tions for the mobile phone fitting.
i
The mobile phone can also be operated
without being in the bracket. However, the
charging function and aerial function are not
available.
In order to use Bluetooth
®
(SAP profile) on your
telephone module, you must first insert the tele-
phone module into the pre-installed fitting. This
connects it to the exterior aerial. If you wish to
charge the mobile phone, you must connect it to
a USB port.
Further information on the telephone module
with Bluetooth
®
(SAP profile) can be found in the
Digital Owner's Manual.
Operating the mobile phone
You can operate the phone using the 6 and
~ buttons on the multifunction steering
wheel. You can operate other mobile phone
functions via the on-board computer
(Y page 207).
When you remove the key from the ignition lock,
the mobile phone is disconnected from the vehi-
cle. You can then no longer make calls using the
hands-free system.
If a call is active and you remove the key from
the ignition lock, the conversation is transferred
over to the mobile phone. It is then possible to
continue the conversation on the mobile phone.
Mobile phone bracket in the stowage
compartment
You can fold the pre-installed bracket up to
improve access to the stowage space beneath
it.

Floormats

WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may restrict
the clearance around the pedals or block a
depressed pedal. This jeopardises the oper-
ating and road safety of the vehicle. There is a
risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so that
they do not get into the driver's footwell.
Always fit the floormats securely and as pre-
scribed in order to ensure that there is always
sufficient room for the pedals. Do not use
loose floormats and do not place several floor-
mats on top of one another.

qualified specialist workshop.
