Sport Utility Vehicle

& WARNING Risk of accident when the
center of gravity is too high
The vehicle may start to skid and rollover in
the event of sudden steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not adap‐
ted to the road conditions.
Always adapt your speed and driving
#
style to the vehicle's driving character‐
istics and to the prevailing road and
weather conditions.
Utility vehicles have a significantly higher roll‐
over rate than other types of vehicles.
If this type of vehicle is not driven safely, an acci‐
dent can occur, the vehicle can roll over and
occupants can suffer serious or even fatal inju‐
ries.
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is signifi‐
cantly more likely to die than a person wearing a
seat belt.
You and all vehicle occupants should always
wear your seat belts.
Notes for persons with electronic medical
aids
Mercedes-Benz AG cannot, despite carefully
developing vehicle systems, completely rule out
the interaction of vehicle systems with electronic
medical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.
For this reason, the following can occur in isola‐
ted cases, depending on the aids used:

R
Adverse health effects

Observe the notes and warnings of the manufac‐
turer of the aids; if in doubt, contact the device
manufacturer and your doctor. Mercedes-
Benz AG recommends using only few electrical
vehicle systems if there is continuing uncertainty
concerning the possibility of aids malfunction‐
ing.
Have repairs and maintenance work in the area
of vehicle components carrying live voltage and
transmission antenna carried out by a qualified
specialist workshop.
