The seat belt extender must always be retracted while the vehicle is in motion.

10 Occupant safety

Driving Breaking-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first 1,000 miles (1,500 km): R drive at varying road speeds and engine

speeds. R do not drive faster than 85 mph (140 km/h). R allow the engine to reach a maximum engine

speed of 4,500 rpm (4,500 rpm) only briefly. R drive the vehicle in drive programA. R change gear before the tachometer needle is

of the way to the red area of the tachome ter. R do not shift down a gear manually in order to

brake. R avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at

full throttle. R do not depress the accelerator pedal past

the pressure point (kickdown). R only increase the engine speed gradually and

accelerate the vehicle to full speed after 1,000 miles (1,500 km).

This also applies when the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced. Please also observe the following breaking-in notes: R In certain driving and driving safety systems,

the sensors adjust automatically while a cer tain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full sys tem effectiveness is not reached until the end of this teach-in process. R Brakepads, brake discs and tires that are

either new or have been replaced only ach ieve optimum braking effect and grip after several hundred kilometers of driving. Com pensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal.

Function of Emotion Start

# Start the vehicle with the start/stop button and simultaneously pull one of the steering wheel gearshift paddles1 or2. R The idle speed is increased briefly when

starting the engine. R The exhaust gas flaps are opened (sporty

with the button in the center console, the transmission does not react to the kick down.

Driving and driving safety systems Functions of ESP (Electronic Stability Pro gram)

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP is malfunctioning

If ESP is malfunctioning, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilization. In addition, other driving safety systems are switched off. # Drive on carefully. # Have ESP checked at a qualified spe

cialist workshop.

You can select between the following modes of ESP: R ESP ON R ESP SPORT R ESP OFF

Characteristics when ESP is activated

ESP monitors and improves driving stability and traction, particularly in the following situations: R When pulling away on a wet or slippery road. R When braking. R In strong side winds when you are driving

faster than 47 mph (75 km/h).

ESP can stabilize the vehicle by intervening in the following ways: R One or more wheels are braked. R The engine output is adapted according to

the situation.

ESP is activated every time the engine is star ted regardless of whether ESP was in ESP SPORT or deactivated before the engine was switched off.

If the ESP warning lamp flashes in the instrument cluster, one or several vehicle wheels has reached its grip limit: R Adapt the driving style to suit the prevailing

road and weather conditions.

16 Driving and parking

R Do not deactivate ESP under any circum stances. R Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as

is necessary.

Characteristics of ESP SPORT

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP SPORT is used incorrectly

When you activate ESP SPORT, there is an increased risk of skidding and having an acci dent. # Activate ESP SPORT only in the cir

cumstances described below.

When ESP SPORT is activated, the and warning lamps light up continuously in the instrument cluster.

Select ESP SPORT when the vehicle's own oversteering and understeering characteristics are desired, e.g. on designated roads.

Driving with ESP SPORT or with ESP deactiva ted requires an extremely qualified and experi enced driver.

If ESP SPORT is activated and one or more wheels start to spin, the ESP warning lamp on the instrument cluster flashes. ESP then only stabilizes the vehicle to a limited degree.

ESP SPORT also has the following characteris tics: R ESP only improves driving stability to a limi

ted degree. R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active. R The engine's torque is only restricted to a

limited degree and the drive wheels can spin. The spinning of the wheels results in a cut ting action for better traction on loose surfa ces. R ESP continues to provide assistance when

the brakes are firmly applied. R Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

Characteristics when ESP is deactivated

& WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP is deactivated

If you deactivate ESP, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilization. # ESP should only be deactivated in the

following situations.

When ESP is deactivated, the and warning lamps light up continuously in the instrument cluster.

Deactivating ESP has the following effects: R Driving stability will no longer be improved. R The drive wheels could spin. R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active. R Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

% Even when ESP is deactivated, you are still assisted by ESP when braking hard.

Driving and parking 17

It may be best to activate ESP SPORT or deacti vate ESP in the following situations: R When using snow chains. R In deep snow. R On sand or gravel.

% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting action, which enhances traction.

% Activate ESP as soon as the situations described above no longer apply. ESP will otherwise not be able to stabilize the vehicle if the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel starts to spin.

If the ESP warning lamp lights up continu ously even when ESP is activated, ESP is not available due to a malfunction. Observe any information which may be displayed in the instrument cluster: R Indicator and warning lamps R Display messages

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System) ETS/4ETS traction control is part of ESP.

ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by intervening in the following ways: R The drive wheels are braked individually if

they spin. R More drive torque is transferred to the wheel

or wheels with traction.

Activating/deactivating ESP (Electronic Sta bility Program)

# To activate ESP SPORT: briefly press but ton1. The and warning lamps appear in the instrument cluster.

18 Driving and parking

# To deactivate ESP: press and hold button 1 until the and warning lamps appear in the instrument cluster.

Notes on fuel grades for Mercedes-AMG vehi cles Observe the information on service products in the vehicle Operator's Manual.

* NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system. # Only refuel with low-sulfur gasoline.

This fuel may contain up to 10% ethanol by volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel. Never refuel with one of the following fuels: R Diesel R Gasoline with more than 10% ethanol by

volume, e.g. E15, E85, E100

R Gasoline with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30, M85, M100 R Gasoline with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refueled with the wrong fuel: # do not switch the ignition on. # Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul fur, this can produce unpleasant odors. Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON. As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use unleaded regular gasoline. Octane number on the vehicle on the information label in the fuel filler flap (see the vehicle's Operator's Manual). This may reduce engine output and increase fuel con sumption. Never refuel using gasoline with an even lower RON.

* NOTE Premature engine wear through unleaded regular gasoline

Impairment of the longevity and performance of the engine. If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavailable and you have to refuel using unleaded regular gasoline: # Only fill the fuel tank to half full with

unleaded regular gasoline and refill as soon as possible with unleaded pre mium grade gasoline.

# Do not drive at the maximum design speed.

# Avoid sudden acceleration and engine speeds over 3000 rpm.
