Operation

Driving instructions

Road salts and chemicals can adversely

affect braking efficiency. Increased pedal

force may become necessary to produce

the normal braking effect.

Depressing the brake pedal periodically

when traveling at length on salt-strewn

roads can bring road-salt-impaired braking

efficiency back to normal.

If the vehicle is parked after being driven

on salt-treated roads, the braking

efficiency should be tested as soon as

possible after driving is resumed.

For more information, see “Winter driving”

(

컄 page 290).

Standing water

Warning! G

Make sure not to endanger any other road

users when carrying out these braking

maneuvers.

Warning! G

If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, make

sure snow is kept clear of the exhaust pipe

and from around the vehicle with the engine

running. Otherwise, deadly carbon monox-

ide (CO) gases may enter vehicle interior re-

sulting in unconsciousness and death.

To assure sufficient fresh air ventilation,

open a window slightly on the side of the

vehicle not facing the wind

Warning! G

The outside temperature indicator is not

designed to serve as an ice-warning device

and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.

Indicated temperatures just above the

freezing 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

damage is not covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
