Activating on-demand feature using Mercedes me

Requirements

The vehicle has a wireless connection.

The vehicle is linked to the Mercedes me user

account.

Ordering and activating on-demand feature

Add the desired on-demand feature for the

vehicle to the shopping basket in the

Mercedes me Store.

Complete the order.

The on-demand feature is activated when

operating the vehicle.

Speeding up activation

Switch the vehicle o and lock it.

Unlock the vehicle aer about two minutes

and switch on the vehicle.

The on-demand feature has been activated.

For some features, a notication also appears

in the vehicle's multimedia system.

If the activation was not successful, repeat the

process.

Operating safety

WARNING Risk of accident due to mal-

functions or system failures

If you do not have the prescribed service/

maintenance work or any required repairs car-

ried out, this could result in malfunctions or

system failures.

Always have the prescribed service‑ and

maintenance work or any required

repairs carried out in a qualied work-

shop.

WARNING Risk of accident or injury due

to improper modications to electronic

components

Modications to electronic components, their

soware or wiring can impair their functional-

ity and/or the functionality of other networked

components or safety-relevant systems.

This can endanger the vehicle's operating

safety.

You must not tamper with wiring, elec-

tronic components, or their soware.

Always have work on electrical and elec-

tronic devices carried out at a qualied

specialist workshop.

If you modify the on-board electronics, the gen-

eral operating permit is rendered invalid.

Observe the "On-board electronics" section in

"Technical data".

WARNING Risk of re due to ammable

material coming into contact with hot

parts of the exhaust system

If combustible materials, e.g. leaves, grass or

twigs, come into contact with hot parts of the

exhaust system, they may ignite.

When driving o-road or on unpaved sur-

faces, check the underside of the vehicle

at regular intervals.

In particular, remove any trapped parts

of plants or other ammable material.

General notes

F247 0074 02

If damage should occur, immediately

inform a qualied specialist workshop.

NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to driv-

ing too fast and due to impacts to the

vehicle underbody or suspension compo-

nents

In the following situations, in particular, there

is a risk of damage to the vehicle:

the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a

high kerb or an unpaved road

the vehicle is driven too fast over an obsta-

cle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pothole

a heavy object strikes the underbody or

suspension components

In situations such as these, damage to the

body, underbody, suspension components,

wheels or tyres may not be visible. Compo-

nents damaged in this way can unexpectedly

fail or, in the case of an accident, may no lon-

ger absorb the resulting force as intended.

If the underbody panelling is damaged, am-

mable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs

can collect between the underbody and the

underbody panelling. These materials may

ignite if they come into contact with hot parts

of the exhaust system.

Have the vehicle checked and repaired

immediately at a qualied specialist

workshop.

If driving safety is impaired while con-

tinuing your journey, pull over and stop

the vehicle immediately, while paying

attention to road and trac conditions,

and contact a qualied specialist work-

shop.

Plug-in hybrid

Hybrid vehicles have a combustion engine and at

least one electric motor. The energy supply for

operating the vehicle electrically is provided by

the high-voltage on-board electrical system.

DANGER Risk of death and re due to

modied and/or damaged components of

the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-

tem

The vehicle's high-voltage on-board electrical

system is under high voltage. If you modify

component parts in the vehicle's high-voltage

on-board electrical system or touch damaged

component parts, you may be electrocuted. In

addition, modied and/or damaged compo-

nents may cause a re.

In the event of an accident or impact to the

underbody, components of the high-voltage

on-board electrical system may be damaged

although the damage is not visible.

Never make any modications to the

high-voltage on-board electrical system.

Do not switch on or use the vehicle if its

high-voltage on-board electrical system

components have been modied or dam-

aged.

General notes

F247 0074 02

Never touch damaged components of

the high-voltage on-board electrical sys-

tem.

Aer an accident, do not touch any com-

ponents of the high-voltage on-board

electrical system.

Aer an accident, have the vehicle trans-

ported away.

Have the components of the high-voltage

on-board electrical system checked at a

qualied specialist workshop and

replaced if necessary.

The components of the high-voltage on-board

electrical system are marked with yellow warning

stickers. The cables of the high-voltage on-board

electrical system are orange.

Example

High-voltage components which can become very

hot are marked with a separate warning sticker:

vehicles with hybrid systems generate signicantly

less noise than vehicles with combustion engines.

When driving in electric mode, the vehicle may

not be heard by other road users due to the signif-

icantly reduced noise generated.

It is for this reason that the vehicle is equipped

with a sound generator, which serves as an acous-

tic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This protective

device is prescribed by law.

The exterior noise of the sound generator (AVAS)

is perceptible at low speeds in the vehicle interior

and is not a malfunction.

Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system

DANGER Risk of fatal injury by touching

damaged high-voltage components

Vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical sys-

tem contain individual high-voltage compo-

nents. These high-voltage components are

under high voltage.

If you modify component parts of these high-

voltage components or touch damaged com-

ponent parts, you may be electrocuted.
