Digital Operator’s Manual

Protecting the environment

General notes

H

Environmental note

Daimler’s declared policy is one of compre-

hensive environmental protection.

The objectives are for the natural resources

that form the basis of our existence on this

planet to be used sparingly and in a manner

that takes the requirements of both nature

and humanity into account.

You too can help to protect the environment

by operating your vehicle in an environmen-

tally responsible manner.

Fuel consumption and the rate of engine,

transmission, brake and tire wear are affected

by these factors:

R

operating conditions of your vehicle

R

your personal driving style

You can influence both factors. You should

bear the following in mind:

Operating conditions:

R

avoid short trips as these increase fuel con-

sumption.

R

always make sure that the tire pressures

are correct.

R

do not carry any unnecessary weight.

R

remove roof racks once you no longer need

them.

R

a regularly serviced vehicle will contribute

to environmental protection. You should

therefore adhere to the service intervals.

R

always have service work carried out at a

qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

R

do not depress the accelerator pedal when

starting the engine.

R

do not warm up the engine when the vehicle

is stationary.

R

drive carefully and maintain a safe distance

from the vehicle in front.

R

avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and

braking.

R

change gear in good time and use each gear

only up to Ô of its maximum engine speed.

R

switch off the engine in stationary traffic.

R

keep an eye on the vehicle’s fuel consump-

tion.

Environmental concerns and recom-

mendations

Wherever the operating instructions require you

to dispose of materials, first try to regenerate or

re-use them. Observe the relevant environmen-

tal rules and regulations when disposing of

materials. In this way you will help to protect the

environment.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

H

Environmental note

Daimler AG also supplies reconditioned major

assemblies and parts which are of the same

quality as new parts. They are covered by the

same Limited Warranty entitlements as new

parts.

!

Air bags and Emergency Tensioning Devi-

ces, as well as control units and sensors for

these restraint systems, may be installed in

the following areas of your vehicle:

R

doors

R

door pillars

R

door sills

R

seats

R

cockpit

R

instrument cluster

R

center console

Do not install accessories such as audio sys-

tems in these areas. Do not carry out repairs

or welding. You could impair the operating

efficiency of the restraint systems.

Have aftermarket accessories installed at a

qualified specialist workshop.

You could jeopardize the operating safety of

your vehicle if you use parts, tires and wheels as

well as accessories relevant to safety which

have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz. This

could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

systems, e.g. the brake system. Use only genu-

ine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of equal qual-

ity. Only use tires, wheels and accessories that

have been specifically approved for your vehi-

cle.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts are subject to

strict quality control. Every part has been spe-

cifically developed, manufactured or selected

for and adapted to Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

Therefore, only genuine Mercedes-Benz parts

should be used.

More than 300,000 different genuine

Mercedes-Benz parts are available for

Mercedes-Benz models.

All authorized Mercedes-Benz Centers maintain

a supply of genuine Mercedes-Benz parts for

necessary service and repair work. In addition,

strategically located parts delivery centers pro-

vide quick and reliable parts service.

Always specify the vehicle identification number

(VIN) when ordering genuine Mercedes-Benz

parts (

Y page 382).

Introduction

Z

Sports Utility Vehicle

G

WARNING

Due to the high center of gravity, the vehicle

may start to skid and roll over in the event of

an abrupt steering maneuver and/or when

the vehicle’s speed is not adapted to the road

conditions. There is a risk of an accident.

Always adapt your speed and driving style to

the vehicle’s driving characteristics and to the

prevailing road and weather conditions.

Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll-

over rate than other types of vehicles.

Failure to operate this vehicle safely may result

in an accident, rollover of the vehicle, and severe

or fatal injury.

In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signif-

icantly more likely to die than a person wearing

a seat belt.

You and all vehicle occupants should always

wear your seat belts.

Operating safety

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

If you do not have the prescribed service/

maintenance work or any required repairs

carried out, this can result in malfunctions or

system failures. There is a risk of an accident.

Always have the prescribed service/mainte-

nance work as well as any required repairs

carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

G

WARNING

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or

twigs may ignite if they come into contact with

hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk

of fire.

When driving off road or on unpaved roads,

check the vehicle’s underside regularly. In

particular, remove parts of plants or other

flammable materials which have become

trapped. In the case of damage, contact a

qualified specialist workshop.

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.

!

There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:

R

the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high

curb or an unpaved road

R

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a

curb, a speed bump or a pothole in the road

R

a heavy object strikes the underbody or

parts of the chassis

In situations like this, the body, the under-

body, chassis parts, wheels or tires could be

damaged without the damage being visible.

Components damaged in this way can unex-

pectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, no

longer withstand the loads they are designed

to.

If the underbody paneling is damaged, com-

bustible materials such as leaves, grass or

twigs can gather between the underbody and

the underbody paneling. If these materials

come in contact with hot parts of the exhaust

system, they can catch fire.

In such situations, have the vehicle checked

and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-

cialist workshop. If on continuing your jour-

ney you notice that driving safety is impaired,

pull over and stop the vehicle immediately,

paying attention to road and traffic condi-

tions. In such cases, consult a qualified spe-

cialist workshop.

Declarations of conformity

USA: «The wireless devices of this vehicle com-

ply with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the two following two conditions: 1)

Operating safety

Introduction

These devices may not cause harmful interfer-

ence, and 2) These devices must accept any

interference received, including interference

that may cause undesired operation. Changes

or modifications not expressly approved by the

party responsible for compliance could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.»

Canada: «The wireless devices of this vehicle

Data stored in the vehicle

Introduction

to detect and rectify malfunctions and to opti-

mize vehicle functions. Most of these data are

volatile and processed only in the vehicle itself.

Only a small part of the data is stored in event or

malfunction memories.

When you use services, the technical data from

the vehicle can be read out by service network

employees or third parties. Services can include

repair services, maintenance processes, war-

ranty cases and quality assurance measures.

The data is read out via the legally prescribed

diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The rele-

vant offices in the service network or third par-

ties collect, process and use the data. These

data document the vehicle’s technical states,

are used to help in finding malfunctions and

improving quality and are sent to the manufac-

turer where necessary. In addition, the manu-

facturer is subject to product liability. The man-

ufacturer needs technical data from vehicles for

this purpose.

Malfunction memories in the vehicle can be

reset by a service center during repair or service

work.

You can incorporate data into the vehicle’s com-

fort and infotainment functions yourself as part

of

the selected equipment.

T

hese include, for example:

R

multimedia data such as music, films or pho-

tos for playback in an integrated multimedia

system

R

address book data for use in conjunction with

an integrated hands-free system or an inte-

grated navigation system

R

navigation destinations that have been

entered

R

data about using Internet services

These data can be saved locally in the vehicle or

are located on a device that you have connected

to the vehicle. If this data is saved in the vehicle,

you can delete it at any time. These data are sent

to third parties only at your request, particularly

when you use online services in accordance with

the settings that you have selected.

You can save and change comfort settings/

customizations in the vehicle at any time.

Depending on the piece of equipment in ques-

tion, these can include, for example:

R

seat and steering wheel position settings

R

suspension and climate control settings

R

custom settings such as interior lighting

If your vehicle is equipped appropriately, you

can connect your smartphone or another mobile

end device to the vehicle. You can control this by

means

of the control elements integrated in the

ve

hicle. The smartphone’s picture and sound

can be output via the multimedia system. Spe-

cific items of information are also sent to your

smartphone.

Depending on the type of integration, this can

include:

R

general vehicle information

R

position data

This allows the use of selected smartphone

apps, such as navigation or music player apps.

There is no additional interaction between the

smartphone and the vehicle, particularly active

access to vehicle data. The type of additional

data processing is determined by the provider of

the app being used. Whether you can configure

settings for it and, if so, which ones, depends on

the app and your smartphone’s operating sys-

tem.

Service provider

Wireless network connection

If your vehicle has a wireless network connec-

tion, data can be exchanged between your vehi-

cle and other systems. The wireless network

connection is made possible by the vehicle’s

own transmitter and receiver or by mobile devi-

ces that you have brought into the vehicle (e.g.

smartphones). Online functions can be used via

this wireless network connection. These include

online services and applications/Apps provided

by the manufacturer or other providers.

Services provided by the manufacturer

In the case of the manufacturer’s online serv-

ices, the manufacturer describes the functions

in a suitable place and the associated informa-

tion subject to data protection legislation. Per-

sonal data can be used in order to provide online

services. The data exchange for this takes place

via a secure connection, e.g. with the manufac-

turer’s IT systems intended for the purpose. Col-

lecting, processing and using personal data

beyond the provision of services is permitted

only on the basis of a statutory permit or decla-

ration of consent.

Data stored in the vehicle

33

Introduction

Z

You can usually activate and deactivate the serv-

ices and functions (some of which are subject to

charge). In many cases, this also applies to the

vehicle’s entire data connection. However, this

does not apply in particular to legally prescribed

functions and services such as the «eCall» emer-

gency call system.

Services from third parties

If it is possible to use online services from other

providers, these services are the responsibility

of the provider in question and subject to that

provider’s data protection conditions and terms

of use. The manufacturer has no influence over

the content exchanged here.

For this reason, please ask the service provider

for information about the type, extent and pur-

pose of the collection and use of personal data

when services are provided by third parties.

COMAND/mbrace

If the vehicle is equipped with COMAND or

mbrace, additional data about the vehicle’s

operation, the use of the vehicle in certain sit-

uations, and the location of the vehicle may be

compiled through COMAND or the mbrace sys-

tem.

For additional information please refer to the

COMAND User Manual or the Digital Operator’s

Manual and/or the mbrace Terms and Condi-

tions.

Event data recorders

This vehicle is equipped with an event data

recorder (EDR). This vehicle is equipped with an

event data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of

an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near

crash-like situations, such as an air bag deploy-

ment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will

assist in understanding how a vehicle’s systems

performed. The EDR is designed to record data

relating 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:

R

How various systems in your vehicle were

operating

R

Whether or not the driver and passenger

safety belts were buckled/fastened

R

How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the

accelerator and/or brake pedal and

R

How fast the vehicle was traveling

These data can help provide a better under-

standing of the circumstances in which crashes

and injuries occur. NOTE: EDR data are recor-

ded by your vehicle only if a non-trivial crash

situation occurs; no data are 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 could combine the

EDR data with the type of personally identifying

data routinely acquired during a crash investi-

gation.

Access to the vehicle and/or the EDR is needed

to read data that is recorded by an EDR, and

special equipment is required. In addition to the

vehicle manufacturer, other parties that have

the special equipment, such as law enforce-

ment, 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

connection with 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

Restraint System Module. Tampering with, alter-

ing, modifying or removing the EDR component

may result in a malfunction of the Restraint Sys-

tem Module and other systems.

State laws or regulations regarding EDRs that

conflict with federal regulation are pre-empted.

34

Data stored in the vehicle

Introduction

This means that in the event of such conflict, the

federal regulation governs. As of February 2013,

13 states have enacted laws relating to EDRs.

Occupant safety

Introduction to the restraint system

The restraint system can reduce the risk of vehi-

cle occupants coming into contact with parts of

the vehicle’s interior in the event of an accident.

The restraint system can also reduce the forces

to which vehicle occupants are subjected during

an accident.

The restraint system comprises:

R

Seat belt system

R

Air bags

R

Child restraint system

R

Child seat securing systems

The components of the restraint system work in

conjunction with each other. They can only

deploy their protective function if, at all times, all

vehicle occupants:

R

have fastened their seat belts correctly

(

Y page 47)

R

have the seat and head restraint adjusted

properly (

Y page 97)

As the driver, you also have to make sure that

the steering wheel is adjusted correctly.

Observe the information relating to the correct

driver’s seat position (

Y page 97).

You also have to make sure that an air bag can

inflate properly if deployed (

Y page 49).

An air bag supplements a correctly worn seat

belt. As an additional safety device, the air bag

increases the level of protection for vehicle

occupants in the event of an accident. For exam-

ple, if, in the event of an accident, the protection

offered by the seat belt is sufficient, the air bags

are not deployed. When an accident occurs, only

the air bags that increase protection in that par-

ticular accident situation are deployed. How-

ever, seat belts and air bags generally do not

protect against objects penetrating the vehicle

from the outside.

Information on restraint system operation can

be found under «Triggering of the Emergency

Tensioning Devices and air bags» (

Y page 56).

See «Children in the vehicle» for information on

children traveling with you in the vehicle as well

as on child restraint systems (

Y page 59).

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

Modifications to the restraint system may

cause it to no longer work as intended. The

restraint system may then not perform its

intended protective function and may fail in an

accident or trigger unexpectedly, for example.

This poses an increased risk of injury or even

fatal injury.

Never modify parts of the restraint system.

Never tamper with the wiring, the electronic

components or their software.

If it is necessary to modify components of the

restraint system to accommodate a person with

disabilities, contact an authorized Mercedes-

Benz Center for details. USA only: for further

information contact our Customer Assistance

Center at 1-800 FOR-MERCEDES

(18003676372).

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use

driving aids which have been approved specifi-

cally for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.

44

Occupant safety

Safety

Restraint system warning lamp

The functions of the restraint system are

checked after the ignition is switched on and at

regular intervals while the engine is running.

Therefore, malfunctions can be detected in

good time.

The 6 restraint system warning lamp on the

instrument cluster lights up when the ignition is

switched on. It goes out no later than a few sec-

onds after the vehicle is started. The compo-

nents of the restraint system are in operational

readiness.

A malfunction has occurred if the 6 restraint

system warning lamp:

R

does not light up after the ignition is switched

on

R

does not go out after a few seconds with the

engine running

R

lights up again while the engine is running

G

WARNING

If the restraint system is malfunctioning,

restraint system components may be trig-

gered unintentionally or may not deploy as

intended during an accident. This can affect

for example the Emergency Tensioning

Device or the air bag. This poses an increased

risk of injury or even fatal injury.

Have the restraint system checked and

repaired in a qualified specialist workshop as

soon as possible.

PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamp

PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp : and

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp ; are

part of the Occupant Classification System

(OCS).

The indicator lamps display the status of the

front-passenger front air bag.

R

PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for 60 sec-

onds, subsequently both indicator lamps are

off (PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF): the

front-passenger front air bag is able to deploy

in the event of an accident.

R

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up: the front-

passenger front air bag is deactivated. It will

then not be deployed in the event of an acci-

dent.

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON indicator lamp is

off, only the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator

lamp shows the status of the front-passenger

front air bag. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF

indicator lamp may be lit continuously or be off.

Depending on the person in the front-passenger

seat, the front-passenger front air bag must

either be deactivated or enabled; see the fol-

lowing points. You must make sure of this both

before and during a journey.

R

Children in a child restraint system:

whether the front-passenger front air bag is

enabled or deactivated depends on the instal-

led child restraint system, and the age and

size of the child. Therefore, be sure to observe

the notes on the «Occupant Classification

System (OCS)» (

Y page 51) and on «Chil-

dren in the vehicle» (

Y page 59). There you

will also find instructions on rearward and

forward-facing child restraint systems on the

front-passenger seat.

R

All other persons: depending on the classi-

fication of the person in the front-passenger

seat, the front-passenger front air bag is ena-

bled or deactivated (

Y page 51). Be sure to

observe the notes on «Seat

belts“ (

Y page 45) and «Air bags»

(

Y page 49). There you can also find infor-

mation on the correct seat position.

Seat belts

Introduction

Seat belts are the most effective means of

restricting the movement of vehicle occupants

in the event of an accident or the vehicle rolling

over. This reduces the risk of vehicle occupants

coming into contact with parts of the vehicle

interior or being ejected from the vehicle. Fur-

thermore, the seat belt helps to keep the vehicle

Occupant safety

45

Safety

Z

occupant in the best position in relation to the

air bag.

The seat belt system comprises:

R

Seat belts

R

Emergency Tensioning Devices for the front

seat belts and the outer seat belts in the rear

R

Seat belt force limiters

If the seat belt is pulled out of the belt outlet

quickly or with a jerky movement, the belt

retractor locks. The belt strap cannot be extrac-

ted any further.

The Emergency Tensioning Device tightens the

seat belt in an accident, pulling the belt close

against the body. However it does not pull the

vehicle occupant back in the direction of the

backrest.

The Emergency Tensioning Device does not cor-

rect an incorrect seat position or the routing of

an incorrectly fastened seat belt.

When triggered, a seat belt force limiter helps to

reduce the force exerted by the seat belt on the

vehicle occupant.

The seat belt force limiters for the front seats are

synchronized with the front air bags, which

absorb part of the deceleration force. This can

reduce the force exerted on the vehicle occu-

pants during an accident.

!

If the front-passenger seat is not occupied,

do not engage the seat belt tongue in the

buckle on the front-passenger seat. Other-

wise, in addition to other systems, the Emer-

gency Tensioning Device could also be trig-

gered in the event of an accident and would

need to be replaced.

Important safety notes

The use of seat belts and child restraint systems

is required by law in:

R

all 50 states

R

the U.S. territories

R

the District of Columbia

R

all Canadian provinces

Even where this is not required by law, all vehicle

occupants should correctly fasten their seat

belts before starting the journey.

G

WARNING

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot

perform its intended protective function. An

incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause

injuries, for example, in the event of an acci-

dent or when braking or changing direction

abruptly. This poses an increased risk of injury

or even fatal injury.

Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have

their seat belts fastened correctly and are sit-

ting properly.

The components of the restraint system work in

conjunction with each other. They can only

deploy their protective function if, at all times, all

vehicle occupants:

R

have fastened their seat belts correctly

(

Y page 47)

R

have the seat and head restraint adjusted

properly (

Y page 97)

G

WARNING

The seat belt does not offer the intended level

of protection if you have not moved the back-

rest to an almost vertical position. When brak-

ing or in the event of an accident, you could

slide underneath the seat belt and sustain

abdomen or neck injuries, for example. This

poses an increased risk of injury or even fatal

injury.

Adjust the seat properly before beginning

your journey. Always ensure that the backrest

is in an almost vertical position and that the

shoulder section of your seat belt is routed

across the center of your shoulder.

G

WARNING

Persons less than 5 ft (1.50 m) tall cannot

wear the seat belt correctly without an addi-

tional and suitable restraint system. If the

seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot per-

form its intended protective function. An

incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause

injuries, for example, in the event of an acci-

dent or when braking or changing direction

abruptly. This poses an increased risk of injury

or even fatal injury.

For this reason, always secure persons under

5 ft (1.50 m) tall in suitable additionalrestraint

systems.

46

Occupant safety

Safety

If a child younger than twelve years old and

under 5 ft (1.50 m) in height is traveling in the

vehicle:

R

always secure the child in a child restraint

system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehi-

cle. The child restraint system must be appro-

priate to the age, weight and size of the child

R

always observe the instructions and safety

notes on «Children in the vehicle»

(

Y page 59) in addition to the child restraint

system manufacturer’s installation and oper-

ating instructions

R

always observe the instructions and safety

notes on the «Occupant classification system

(OCS)» (

Y page 51)

G

WARNING

The seat belts may not perform their intended

protective function if:

R

they are damaged, modified, extremely

dirty, bleached or dyed

R

the seat belt buckle is damaged or

extremely dirty

R

the Emergency Tensioning Devices, belt

anchorages or inertia reels have been modi-

fied.

Seat belts may be damaged in an accident,

although the damage may not be visible, e.g.

due to splinters of glass. Modified or damaged

seat belts may tear or fail, e.g. in an accident.

Modified Emergency Tensioning Devices

could accidentally trigger or fail to deploy

when necessary. This poses an increased risk

of injury or even fatal injury.

Never modify the seat belts, Emergency Ten-

sioning Devices, belt anchorages and inertia

reels. Make sure that the seat belts are

undamaged, not worn out and clean. Follow-

ing an accident, have the seat belts checked

immediately at a qualified specialist work-

shop.

Only use seat belts that have been approved for

your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.

Proper use of the seat belts

Observe the safety notes on the seat belt

(

Y page 46).

All vehicle occupants must be wearing the seat

belt correctly before beginning the journey. Also

make sure that all vehicle occupants are always

wearing the seat belt correctly while the vehicle

is in motion.

When fastening the seat belt, always make sure

that:

R

the seat belt buckle tongue is inserted only

into the belt buckle belonging to that seat

R

the seat belt is pulled tight across your body

Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter

coat.

R

the seat belt is not twisted

Only then can the forces which occur be dis-

tributed over the area of the belt.

R

the shoulder section of the belt is routed

across the center of your shoulder

The shoulder section of the seat belt should

not touch your neck or be routed under your

arm or behind your back. Where possible,

adjust the seat belt to the appropriate height.

R

the lap belt is taut and passes across your lap
