Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is a technical inter-
face in the vehicle. It is used, for example, during
repair and maintenance work or for reading out
vehicle data in a specialist workshop. Diagnostic
devices should therefore only be connected in a
qualied specialist workshop.

WARNING Risk of accident due to con-
necting devices to the diagnostics con-
nection
If you connect devices to the diagnostics con-
nection of the vehicle, the function of vehicle
systems and operating safety may be
impaired.
#
For safety reasons, we recommend that
you use and connect only products
approved by an authorized Mercedes-

WARNING Risk of accident due to objects
in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardizes the operating and road safety
of the vehicle.
#
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
#
Always install the oor mats securely
and as prescribed in order to ensure that
there is always sucient room for the
pedals.
#
Do not use loose oor mats and do not
place oor mats on top of one another.

NOTE Battery discharging from using devi-
ces connected to the diagnostics connec-
tion

#
If the charge level is low, charge the bat-
tery, e.g. by driving a considerable dis-
tance.
Please also note the information about the 12 V
