Operator's Manual
This Supplement provides information on all the
important functions of your AMG vehicle that are
either not described or differ from the descrip‐
tions in thevehicle Operator's Manual. This
information supplements or replaces the corre‐
sponding sections in thevehicle Operator's Man‐
ual. Under no circumstances does the Supple‐
ment replace the Operator's Manual.
This Supplement describes all models, and
standard and optional equipment foryour vehi‐
cle, as available at the time of going to press.
Country-specific differences are possible. Bear
in mind that your vehicle may not feature all
functions described here. This is also the case
for systems and functions relevant to safety.
Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may
differ from that in the descriptions and illustra‐
tions.
The original purchase contract documentation
foryour vehicle contains a list of all of the sys‐
tems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The Operator's Manual, the Supplement and the
Maintenance Booklet are important documents
and should be kept in thevehicle.
Operating safety
&WARNING Risk of accident due to mal‐
functions or system failures
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or any required repairs
carried out, this could result in malfunctions
or system failures.
#Always have the prescribed service/
maintenance work as well any required
repairs carried out at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop.
&WARNING Risk of accident or injury due
to incorrect modifications on electronic
component parts
Modification of electronic components, their
software or wiring could impair their function
and/or the function of other networked com‐
ponent parts. In particular, systems relevant
to safety could also be affected.
As a result, these may no longer function
properly and/or jeopardize the operating
safety of thevehicle.
#Nevertamper with the wiring and elec‐
tronic component parts or their soft‐
ware.
#You should have all work on electrical
and electronic components carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.

General notes 7

&WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable
materials on hot parts of theexhaust
system
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact
with hot parts of theexhaust system.
#When driving on unpavedroads or off-
road, regularly check thevehicle under‐
side.
#Remove trapped plants or other flam‐
mable material.
#If there is damage, consult a qualified
specialist workshop immediately.
*NOTE Damage to thevehicle
In thefollowing situations, in particular, there
is a risk of damage to thevehicle:
RThe vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a
high curb or an unpavedroad
RThe vehicle is driven toofast over an
obstacle, e.g. a curb, speed bump or pot‐
hole
RA heavy object strikesthe underbody or
chassis components
In situations such as this, the body, the
underbody, chassis components, wheels or
