Operating safety

Important safety notes

G WARNING If you operate information systems and com- munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle when driving, you may be distracted from the traffic situation. You could also lose con- trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci- dent. Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits. If you are not sure that this is possible, park the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions and operate the equip- ment when the vehicle is stationary.

Youmust observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating the multimedia system. The multimedia system calculates the route to the destination without taking account of the following, for example: Rtraffic lights Rstop and yield signs Rmerging lanes Rparking or stopping in a no parking/no stop- ping zone Rother road and traffic rules and regulations Rnarrow bridges The multimedia system may provide incorrect navigation recommendations if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital map's data. Digital maps do not cover all areas nor all routes in an area. For example, a route may have been diverted or the direction of a one-way streetmay have changed. For this reason, you must always observe road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the system's driving recommendations. Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving. Please always use this feature instead of con- sulting the map display for directions. Looking at the icons ormap display can distract you from traffic conditions and driving, and increase the risk of an accident.

Bear in mind that at a speed of only 30 mph (approximately 50 km/h), your vehicle covers a distance of 44 feet (approximately 14 m) every second. This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for uncontrolled equip- ment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE). How- ever, it is recommended to install it at a distance of at least 8 inches (approx. 20 cm) between the radiation source and a person's body (not including limbs such as hands, wrists, feet and legs).

G WARNING Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring can impair their function and/or the function of other net- worked components. In particular, systems relevant to safety could also be affected. As a result, these may no longer function as inten- ded and/or jeopardize the operating safety of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of an accident and injury. Never tamper with the wiring as well as elec- tronic components or their software. You should have all work to electrical and elec- tronic equipment carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Declarations of conformity

Vehicle components which receive and/or transmit radio waves USA only: The wireless devices of this vehicle comply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) These devices may not cause interference, and 2) These devices must accept any interference, including interference thatmay cause undesired operation of the device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compli- ance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

14 Introduction

Canada only: The wireless devices of this vehi- cle comply with Industry Canada license- exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) These devices may not cause interference, and 2) These devices must accept any interference, including interference thatmay cause undesired operation of the device.

Correct use You need to observe the following information when using the multimedia system: Rthe safety notes in this manual Rtraffic rules and regulations Rlaws and safety standards pertaining tomotor vehicles

Using roof carriers may impair the correct func- tioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite radio, GPS). Attaching metalized retrofit film to the wind- shield may affect radio reception. This can have a negative impact on all other antennas (e.g. emergency call antenna) in the vehicle interior. Protection against theft: this device is equip- ped with technical provisions to protect it against theft. Further information on protection against theft can be obtained from an author- ized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Qualified specialist workshop Read the information on qualified specialist workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

Function restrictions For safety reasons, some functions are restric- ted or unavailable while the vehicle is in motion. You will notice this, for example, because either you will not be able to select certain menu items or a message will appear to this effect.

Data stored in the vehicle

Data recording A wide range of electronic components in your vehicle contain data memories. These data memories temporarily or perma- nently store technical information about: Rthe vehicle's operating state Revents Rmalfunctions In general, this technical information docu- ments the state of a component, a module, a system or the surroundings. These include, for example: Roperating conditions of system components, e.g. fluid levels Rthe vehicle's statusmessages and those of its individual components, e.g. number of wheel revolutions/speed, deceleration in move- ment, lateral acceleration, accelerator pedal position Rmalfunctions and defects in important system components, e.g. lights, brakes Rvehicle reactions and operating conditions in special driving situations, e.g. air bag deploy- ment, intervention of stability control sys- tems Rambient conditions, e.g. outside temperature This data is of an exclusively technical nature and can be used to: Rassist in detecting and rectifying malfunc- tions and defects Ranalyze vehicle functions, e.g. after an acci- dent Roptimize vehicle function The data cannot be used to trace the vehicle's movements. When your vehicle is serviced, technical infor- mation can be read from the event datamemory and fault data memory. Services include, for example: Rrepair services Rservice processes Rwarranty events Rquality assurance The vehicle is read out by employees of the ser- vice network (including the manufacturer) using special diagnostic testers. You can obtain more information there, if required.

Introduction 15

Z

After a malfunction has been rectified, the infor- mation is deleted from the malfunction memory or is continually overwritten. When operating the vehicle, situations are con- ceivable in which this technical data, in connec- tion with other information (if necessary, after consultation with an authorized expert), could be traced to a person. Examples include: Raccident reports Rdamage to the vehicle Rwitness statements Further additional functions that have been con- tractually agreed upon with the customer allow certain vehicle data to be conveyed by the vehi- cle as well. The additional functions include, for example, vehicle location in case of an emer- gency.

Multimedia system/mbrace If the vehicle is equipped with multimedia sys- tem or mbrace, additional data about the vehi- cles operation, the use of the vehicle in certain situations, and the location of the vehicle may be compiled through the multimedia system or the mbrace system. For additional information please refer to the multimedia system User Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Conditions.

Event data recorders This vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of an EDR is to record data that will assist in understanding how a vehicles systems performed in certain crash or near crash-like situations, such as dur- ing air bag deployment or when hitting a road obstacle. The EDR is designed to record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period of time, typically 30 seconds or less. The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as: Rhow various systems in your vehicle are oper- ating Rwhether or not the driver and passenger seat belts are fastened

Rhow far (if at all) the driver is depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal and Rhow fast the vehicle is traveling This data can help provide a better understand- ing of the circumstances in which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data is recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs; no data is recorded by the EDR under normal driving conditions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, can combine the EDR data with the type of personal identification data routinely acquired during a crash investigation. To read data recorded by an EDR, special equip- ment is required, and access to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have the spe- cial equipment, such as law enforcement, can read the information by accessing the vehicle or the EDR. EDR data may be used in civil and criminal mat- ters as a tool in accident reconstruction, acci- dent claims, and vehicle safety. Since the Crash Data Retrieval CDR tool that is used to extract data from the EDR is commercially available, Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC (MBUSA) expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from the extraction of this information by unauthorized Mercedes-Benz personnel. MBUSA will not share EDR data with others without the consent of the vehicle owners or, if the vehicle is leased, without the consent of the lessee. Exceptions to this representation include responses to subpoenas by law enforce- ment; by federal, state or local government; in connectionwith or arising out of litigation involv- ing MBUSA or its subsidiaries and affiliates; or, as required by law. Warning: The EDR is a component of the Sup- plemental Restraint System (SRS) Module. Tampering with, altering, modifying or removing the EDR component may result in a malfunction of the SRS Module and other systems. State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted. Thismeans that in the event of such conflict, the federal regulation governs. As of February 2013, 13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.

Your multimedia system equipment

These operating instructions describe all the standard and optional equipment of your multi- media system, as available at the time of going to press. Country-specific differences are pos- sible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here. This also applies to safety-relevant systems and func- tions. Read the information on qualified specialist workshops in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

Introduction

Important safety notes

G WARNING If you operate information systems and com- munication equipment integrated in the vehi- cle when driving, you may be distracted from the traffic situation. You could also lose con- trol of the vehicle. There is a risk of an acci- dent. Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits. If you are not sure that this is possible, park the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions and operate the equip- ment when the vehicle is stationary.

Youmust observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating the multimedia system. The multimedia system calculates the route to the destination without taking the following into account, for example: Rtraffic lights Rstop and yield signs Rmerging lanes Rparking or stopping in a no parking/no stop- ping zone Rother road and traffic rules and regulations Rnarrow bridges The multimedia system may give incorrect nav- igation commands if the actual street/traffic situation does not correspond with the digital map's data. For example, a routemay have been diverted or the direction of a one-way streetmay have changed.

For this reason, you must always observe road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over the system's driving recommendations. Navigation announcements are intended to direct you while driving without diverting your attention from the road and driving. Please always use this feature instead of con- sulting the map display for directions. Looking at the icons ormap display can distract you from traffic conditions and driving, and increase the risk of an accident.

General notes

Operational readiness of the navigation system The navigation systemmust determine the posi- tion of the vehicle before first use or whenever operational status is restored. Therefore, you may have to drive for a while before precise route guidance is possible.

GPS reception Among other things, correct functioning of the navigation systemdepends onGPS reception. In certain situations, GPS reception may be impaired, there may be interference or there may be no reception at all, e.g. in tunnels or parking garages.

i Using roof carriers may impair the correct functioning of a roof antenna (phone, satellite radio, GPS).

Entry restriction For vehicles in certain countries, there is a data entry restriction. The restriction is active above a vehicle speed of about 3 mph (5 km/h). The restriction is deac- tivated as soon as the vehicle speed drops below about 2 mph (3 km/h). When the restriction is active, certain entries cannot be made. Menu items are shown in gray and cannot be selected. For example: Rentering the destination city and street Rentering a destination via the map

Route guidance

General notes The multimedia system calculates the route to the destination without taking the following into account, for example: Rtraffic lights Rstop and yield signs Rparking or stopping restrictions Rroad narrowing Rtemporary traffic rules and regulations The navigation system can give differing driving recommendations if the actual street/traffic sit- uation does not correspond with the digital map's data. For example, if the road layout or the direction of a one-way street has been changed. For this reason, you must always observe road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey. Road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over system driving recom- mendations. Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated (Y page 58). The multimedia system guides you to your des- tination bymeans of navigation announcements in the form of audible navigation announce- ments and route guidance displays. The route guidance displays can be seen if nav- igation mode is switched on. If you do not follow the navigation announce- ments or if you leave the calculated route, the multimedia system automatically calculates a new route to the destination. If the digital map contains the corresponding information, the following applies: RDuring route guidance, the multimedia sys- tem tries to avoid roads with restricted access. These include, for example, roads which are closed to through-traffic. RRoads that have time restrictions are consid- ered for route guidance on dayswhen they are open. For this purpose, the relevant times must be correctly stored in the database. For example, a time restriction canmean a road is closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Change of direction

Overview Changes of direction have three phases: RPreparation phase RAnnouncement phase RChange-of-direction phase Changes in direction are also shown in the mul- tifunction display of the instrument cluster (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Preparation phase The multimedia system prepares you for the upcoming driving maneuver, e.g. with the announcement "Prepare to turn right". You see the full-screen map.

Announcement phase

: Next road or direction ; Point at which the change of direction takes

place (white dot) = Change of direction (turn right here) ? Distance to the next change of direction The multimedia system announces the immi- nent change of direction. The display is now split into two sectors. The map is shown on the left side of the display, and a detailed image of the intersection or a 3D image of the imminent change of direction is shown on the right side of the display.

70 Route guidance Na

vi ga tio

Change-of-direction phase

The multimedia system announces the immedi- ate change of direction. The change of direction is announced ahead of time, e.g. with the announcement "Now turn right". The display is split in two like in the announce- ment phase. The change of direction is performed when the light-color bar on the right drops down to 0 ft (0 m) and the current vehicle position symbol has reached the white change-of-direction point. When the change of direction is completed, the map will appear in full screen mode again.

Display on highways

The image shows an example of route guidance at a highway intersection when driving on a highway.

Lane recommendations

Display on multi-lane roads

: Lanes not recommended (dark gray) ; Possible lane (light gray) = Recommended lanes (white) If the digital map contains the relevant data, the multimedia system can display lane recommen- dations on multi-lane roads for the next change of direction. Lane not recommended:: you will not be able to complete the next change of direction if you stay in this lane. Possible lane;: you will only be able to com- plete the next change of direction in this lane. Recommended lane=: in this lane you will be able to complete the next change of direction and the one after that. The multimedia system shows the lane recom- mendations for the next two changes of direc- tion. Lane recommendations are also shown in the multifunction display of the instrument clus- ter (see the vehicle Operator's Manual).

Off-road

General notes The navigation systemmay guide you to off-road routes that your vehicle cannot drive on without causing damage to the tires or wheels or the vehicle itself. It is the drivers sole responsibility to determine the suitability of the route. The condition of the off-road routes may vary. The navigability of off-road routesmay be influenced by various factors such as time of day, time of year and prevailing weather conditions. The nav- igation system cannot judge these factors or take them into account for route guidance.

Route guidance to an off-road destina- tion The multimedia system can guide you to desti- nations which are within the area of the digital map, but which are not themselves on the map. These destinations are known as off-road des- tinations, which you can enter using themap, for example. The multimedia system guides you for as long as possible with navigation announce- ments and displays on roads known to the sys- tem. If the vehicle reaches an areawhich is not part of the digital map, the display appears as a split- screen view. On the right, an arrow appears that points to the off-road destination. You hear the announcement: "Please follow the arrow on the display". As the vehicle approaches the desti- nation, you will see a display to this effect.

Route guidance from an off-road loca- tion to a destination Off-road location: the vehicle's position is on the digital map, but the map does not contain any information about that location. The multimedia

Route guidance 75

Na vi ga tio

n

Z

system is able to guide you to a destination even from an off-road location. At the start of route guidance, you will see theRoad Not Mapped message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The arrow shows the compass heading to the actual destination. As soon as the vehicle is back on a road known to the system, route guidance continues in the usual way.

Off-road during route guidance Due to road construction, for example, there may be differences between the data on the digital map and the actual course of the road. In such cases, the system will temporarily be unable to locate the vehicle position on the dig- ital map. The vehicle is therefore in an off-road position. In the display, you will then see the Road NotMapped message, an arrow and the distance to the destination. The direction arrow shows the compass heading to the destination. As soon as the system can assign the vehicle position to the map again, route guidance con- tinues in the usual way.

Real-time traffic reports

Requirements This function is currently not available for Can- ada. In order to receive real-time traffic reports via satellite radio, you need to subscribe to SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio Traffic Message Service. Further information on satellite radio (Y page 132). The multimedia system can receive traffic reports via satellite radio and take account of these for route guidance in the navigation sys- tem. Received traffic reports are displayed on the map either as text or as symbols.

Real-time traffic reports on the map

The multimedia system can show certain traffic incidents on the map with symbols and color lines. Symbols show the type of incident and color lines show the extent.

Keep in mind that at a speed of 30mph (approx- imately 50 km/h), the vehicle covers a distance of 44 ft (approximately 14 m) per second. Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation may cause damage to your health and the health of others. There is scientific discussion surrounding the possible health risks posed by electromagnetic fields. You can reduce this risk by using an exte- rior antenna. Therefore, connect your mobile communica- tions equipment to the vehicle's exterior antenna wherever possible.

Procedure and general information Searching for and authorizing (connecting) a mobile phone Before using your mobile phone with the multi- media system for the first time, you will need to search for the phone (Y page 93) and then authorize it (Y page 93). Depending on the mobile phone, authorization either takes place by means of Secure Simple Pairing or by enter- ing a passkey. The multimedia system automat- ically makes the procedure that is relevant for your mobile phone available. You can recognize Secure Simple Pairing by the fact that a code is displayed on the mobile phone and on the mul- timedia system. You can recognize the passkey system by the fact that you have to enter a code on the mobile phone and on the multimedia sys- tem. The mobile phone is always connected automatically after authorization. If the multimedia system does not detect your mobile phone, this may be due to particular security settings on your mobile phone. You can also start the search procedure and authoriza- tion on the mobile phone (Y page 94). Device-specific information on authorizing and connecting Bluetooth-capable mobile phones can be found on the Internet at http:// www.mercedes-benz.com/connect. You can authorize up to 15mobile phones. After authorization, the connection of the last two tel- ephones used always functions automatically. Only one mobile phone can be connected to the multimedia system at any one time. De-authorizing (disconnecting) a mobile phone The connection is terminated automatically if you leave the receiver range of the multimedia system or deactivate Bluetooth on your mobile phone. If you no longer want the Bluetooth connection to be established automatically, the mobile phone must be de-authorized (disconnected) (Y page 95).

The address book displays all the contacts from the various sources (mobile phone, memory card, USB device, the phone book of the multi- media system, navigation). You can use the contacts to make telephone calls, navigate and to write messages. If amobile phone is connected to themultimedia system and automatic calling up is activated (Y page 107), the mobile phone's contacts are displayed in the address book. If you disconnect the mobile phone from the multimedia system, these contacts are no longer displayed in the address book. When you import, save, edit or add contacts, they will be saved in the multimedia system. These contacts will remain available even when you connect the multimedia system to a differ- ent mobile phone. You can view these contacts even without a mobile phone.

i The address book can store a total of 5,000 contacts: R2000 entries are reserved for permanently saved contacts R3000 entries are reserved for contacts that you can load from the mobile phone

i Before selling your vehicle, delete the con- tacts saved in the multimedia system using the reset function (Y page 42).

Bluetooth audio mode

Requirements The Bluetooth function must be activated in the multimedia system (Y page 39). Bluetooth audio mode requires a Bluetooth- capable audio device. Check your Bluetooth audio device for the fol- lowing; see the manufacturer's operating instructions: RBluetooth audio profile The Bluetooth audio device must support the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth audio pro- files. RBluetooth visibility Certain Bluetooth audio devices do not just require activation of the Bluetooth function. In addition, your device must be made "visi- ble" to other devices. RBluetooth device name This device name is predetermined but can usually be changed. For a clear selection of the Bluetooth device, Mercedes-Benz rec- ommends that you customize the device name.

i A2DP (AdvancedAudioDistributionProfile): Bluetooth audio profile for audio data trans- mission AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile): Bluetooth audio profile for audio data play- back

i The Bluetooth devicemust be visible to the multimedia system for authorization. After authorization, the multimedia system even finds the Bluetooth device when it is not visible.

General notes Before using your Bluetooth audio device with themultimedia system for the first time, you will need to authorize it. When you authorize a new Bluetooth audio device, it is connected auto- matically. Connection involves first searching for a Bluetooth audio device and then author- izing it. You can authorize up to 15 Bluetooth devices.

i If you authorize a mobile phone that sup- ports Bluetooth audio, the A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth audio profiles are connected automatically. The mobile phone is then entered: Rin the Bluetooth telephone list (Y page 93) Rin the Bluetooth device list (Y page 148)

Mercedes-Benz recommends authorizing a mobile phone in Bluetooth telephony (Y page 93).

After successful authorization, the Bluetooth audio device is connected and starts playing. i With some Bluetooth audio devices, play- back must initially be started on the device itself, so that the multimedia system can play the audio data. For the audio device used, the output of the audio files has to be specified via Bluetooth.

i The Bluetooth audio device must support Bluetooth version 2.1 for connection via Secure Simple Pairing. The multimedia sys- tem creates a six-digit code which is dis- played simultaneously on both devices that are to be connected. For some Bluetooth audio devices, the pair- ing must also be confirmed within 10 sec- onds.

External authorization If the multimedia system does not find your Bluetooth audio device (Y page 148), this may be due to particular security settings on your Bluetooth audio device. In this case, check whether your Bluetooth audio device can locate the multimedia system. The Bluetooth device name of the multimedia system is MB Bluetooth.

Weather forecasts can be received via the sat- ellite radio for the USA (including Alaska and Hawaii). The received weather data can be displayed as an information chart (daily forecast, five-day forecast, detailed information) or on the weather map. The weather data received from the weather station is stored for one hour in the multimedia system. It can therefore be displayed again immediately after restarting the engine (for example after refueling).

Depending on which scale has been selected, the weather map can display the following weather data with symbols: Rrain radar Rstorm characteristics Rhigh and low-pressure areas, weather fronts Rcourse of tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons) Rstorm warnings Rwind direction and speeds

i The rain radar cannot be displayed for Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

i Hurricane: term used to describe the tropi- cal cyclones that primarily develop in the Atlantic, North Pacific and South Pacific oceans. A wind speeds are above 74 mph (118 km/h). Five categories are used to clas- sify the strength of a hurricane. Typhoon: term used to describe a tropical cyclone that develops in the northwestern Pacific. Thewind speeds are in the category of a hurricane.

Legend: weather fronts

Weather front

Explanation

Cold front (blue line with blue triangles)

If a cold front moves in, the weather remains changeable and there are often rain showers and thunderstorms. The air temperature decrea- ses.

Warm front (red line with red semi-cir- cles)

A warm front may cause more prolonged steady rain, more cloud cover and a slow rise in temperature.

Stationary front (red and blue line with red semi-circles and blue trian- gles)

The weather front moves minimally. The weather remains changeable in this area.

Occlusion (purple line with purple semi-circles and triangles)

When the faster cold front catches up and joins the warm front ahead of it, an occluded front is formed. The weather remains changeable and rainy within an occlu- sion.

Displaying storm tracking information: X Activate the Tropical Storm Tracking dis- play level (Y page 165). If weather data is available, the weather map will then display storm tracking information. Example: in themiddle of themap you can see the current position of the tropical low-pres- sure area (cyclone). To the right of this a solid line shows the previous path with positions and times. The forecast for the direction of propagation is shown by a dotted line with positions and times.

You can find out detailed information on a cyclone in the Storm Guide (Y page 168). A tropical storm is separated into different cat- egories according to the location at which it develops.
