Operator's Manual
This Supplement provides information on all the
important functions of your hybrid vehicle that
are either not described or differ from the
descriptions in the vehicle Operator's Manual.
This information supplements or replaces the
corresponding sections in the vehicle Operator's
Manual. Under no circumstances does the Sup‐
plement replace the Operator's Manual.
This Supplement describes all models, and
standard and optional equipment for your 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
for your 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 the vehicle.
