Standing water
Caution!
Do not drive through flooded areas or water of unknown
depth.
If you must drive through standing water, 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.
Block heater (Canada only)
The engine is equipped with a block heater.
The electrical cable may be installed at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
Passenger compartment
Traveling abroad
Abroad, there is a widely-spread Mercedes-Benz service
network at your disposal. If you plan to travel 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!
Always fasten items being carried as securely as
possible.
In an accident, during hard braking or sudden
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 objects.
