Important safety notes

WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell can restrict the pedal travel or obstruct a depressed pedal.

The operating and road safety of the vehicle is jeopardized. There is a risk of an accident. Make sure that all objects in the vehicle are stowed correctly, and that they cannot enter the driver's footwell. Install the floormats securely and as specified in order to ensure sufficient clearance for the pedals. Do not use loose floormats.

WARNING
Unsuitable footwear can hinder correct usage of the pedals, e.g.:
• shoes with thick soles • shoes with high heels • slippers

There is a risk of an accident.

Wear suitable footwear to ensure correct usage of the pedals.

WARNING
If you switch off the ignition while driving, safety-relevant functions are only available with limitations, or not at all. This could affect, for example, the power steering and the brake boosting effect. You will require considerably more effort to steer and brake. There is a risk of an accident.

Do not switch off the ignition while driving

WARNING
If the parking brake has not been fully released when driving, the parking brake can: • overheat and cause a fire • lose its hold function.

There is a risk of fire and an accident. Release the parking brake fully before driving off.

Warm up the engine quickly. Do not use the engine's full performance until it has reached operating temperature.

Only shift the automatic transmission to the desired drive position when the vehicle is stationary.

Where possible, avoid spinning the drive wheels when pulling away on slippery roads. You could otherwise damage the drive train.

Avoid high engine speeds when the engine is cold. The engine's service life could otherwise be significantly shortened.

Do not use the engine's full performance until it has reached operating temperature.

AMG vehicles: at low engine oil temperatures below 68 º F (+20 º C), the maximum engine speed is restricted in order to protect the engine. To protect the engine and maintain smooth engine operation, avoid driving at full throttle when the engine is cold.
