altering of the device will void any warranties, and is not permitted by the FCC. Do not tamper with, alter, or use in any non-approved way. Any unauthorized modification to this device could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
If Blind Spot Assist is switched on, indicator lamp : in the exterior mirrors lights up in yellow up to a speed of 20 mph (30 km/h). At speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h), the indicator lamp goes out and Blind Spot Assist is operational.
The system may be impaired or may not function if: R there is poor visibility, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, or due to snow, rain, fog or spray. R there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, the sun, or reflection from other vehicles.
Active Blind Spot Assist Important safety notes Active Blind Spot Assist uses a radar sensor system to monitor the side areas of your vehicle. In addition, it uses the radar sensor system to monitor the front area as well. Active Blind Spot Assist is activated at speeds above approximately 20 mph (30 km/h).
If the lanes are very wide, it may not be possible to monitor the complete width of the neighboring lane. For this reason, vehicles in the next lane may not be detected, especially if they are driving in a staggered formation. This may be the case if vehicles are driving at the edge of their lane that is furthest away from your vehicle.
Optical and acoustic collision warning When you switch on the appropriate turn signals to change lanes and a vehicle is detected in the side monitoring range of Active Blind Spot Assist, you receive an optical and acoustic collision warning. You then hear a double warning tone and red warning lamp : flashes.
Keeping Assist detects lane markings on the road and warns you before you leave your lane unintentionally. If you do not react to the warning, a lane-correcting application of the brakes can bring the vehicle back into the original lane.
R a driving safety system intervenes, such as ABS, BAS or ESP ® . R you switch on the turn signals. In this event, the warnings are suppressed for a certain period of time. Lane-correcting brake application If you leave your lane under certain circumstances, the vehicle will brake briefly on one side.
Active Lane Keeping Assist does not detect road and traffic conditions. An inappropriate brake application may be interrupted at any time if you: R steer slightly in the opposite direction R use a tur.

Directives to be observed R Only mount tires and wheels of the same type and make. R Only mount tires of the correct size onto the wheels. R After mounting new tires, run them in at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km) as they only reach their full performance after this distance.
Depending upon the weather and/or road surface (conditions), the tire traction varies widely. Do not use tires until they are excessively worn as the tire traction on wet road surfaces decreases significantly when the tread depth is less than 1 / 8 in (3 mm).
R check the tire for foreign bodies. R check whether the wheel is losing air or the valve is leaking. R make sure that only a valve cap approved by Mercedes-Benz is installed on the tire valve. Tire pressures that are too low have a negative effect on vehicle safety, which could lead you to cause an accident.

Determining the maximum load The following steps have been developed as required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575 pursuant to the "National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966".
Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Weight of the occupants Occupant 1: 150 lbs (68 kg) Occupant 2: 180 lbs (82 kg) Occupant 3: 160 lbs (73 kg) Occupant 4: 140 lbs (63 kg) Occupant 5: 120 lbs (54 kg) Occupa.
Trailer load/noseweight The trailer load/noseweight affects the gross weight of the vehicle. If a trailer is attached, the trailer load/noseweight is included in the load along with occupants and luggage. The trailer load/noseweight is usually approximately 10% of the gross weight of the trailer and its cargo.
Where applicable, the tire grading information can be found on the tire sidewall between the tread shoulder and maximum tire width. For example: Tread wear Traction Temperature 200 AA A All passenger car tires must conform to the statutory safety requirements in addition to these grades.
