Standing water Passenger compartment

Driving abroad

Abroad, there is an extensive

Mercedes-Benz service network at your

disposal. If you plan to drive into areas

which are not listed in the index of your

Mercedes-Benz Center directory, you

should request pertinent information from

your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

Warning! G

If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, make

sure that snow is kept clear of the exhaust

pipe and from around the vehicle with the

engine running. Otherwise, deadly carbon

monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle in-

terior resulting in unconsciousness and

death.

To assure sufficient fresh air ventilation,

open a window slightly on the side of the ve-

hicle not facing the wind

Warning! G

The outside temperature indicator is not de-

signed to serve as an ice-warning device and

is therefore unsuitable for that purpose. In-

dicated temperatures just above the freez-

ing point do not guarantee that the road

surface is free of ice.

!

Do not drive through flooded areas or

water of unknown depth. Before driving

through water, determine its depth.

Never accelerate before driving into

water. The bow wave could force water

into the engine and auxiliary equip-

ment, thus damaging them.

If you must drive through standing wa-

ter, drive slowly to prevent water from

entering the passenger compartment

or the engine compartment. Water in

these areas could cause damage to

electrical components or wiring of the

engine or transmission, or could result

in water being ingested by the engine

through the air intake causing severe

internal engine damage. Any such dam-

age is not covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Warning! G

Always fasten items being carried as secure-

ly as possible.

In an accident, during hard braking or sud-

den maneuvers, loose items will be thrown

around inside the vehicle, and cause injury

to vehicle occupants unless the items are

securely fastened in the vehicle.

The trunk is the preferred place to carry ob-

jects.
