WARNING
If you connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, it may affect the
operation of vehicle systems. As a result,
the operating safety of the vehicle could be
affected. There is a risk of an accident.
Only connect equipment to a diagnostics
connection in the vehicle, which is
approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-
Benz.

WARNING
Objects in the driver's footwell may
restrict the clearance around the pedals or
block a depressed pedal. This jeopardises
the operating and road safety of the vehi-
cle. There is a risk of an accident.
Stow all objects securely in the vehicle so
that they do not get into the driver's foot-
well. Always fit the floormats securely and
as prescribed in order to ensure that there
is always sufficient room for the pedals. Do
not use loose floormats and do not place
several floormats on top of one another.
!
If the engine is switched off and a device
is connected to a diagnostic connection,
the battery may become discharged.
Connecting equipment to the diagnostics
connection can result in the resetting of the
emissions monitoring information,
for example. This may lead to the vehicle
failing to meet the requirements of the next
emissions test during the main inspection.
