Diagnostics connection
The diagnostics connection is a technical inter-
face in the vehicle. It is used, for example, during
repair and maintenance work or for reading out
vehicle data in a specialist workshop. Diagnostic
devices should therefore only be connected in a
qualified specialist workshop.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to con-
necting devices to the diagnostics con-
nection
If you connect devices to the diagnostics con-
nection of the vehicle, the function of vehicle
systems and operating safety may be
impaired.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
#
you only use and connect products
approved by a Mercedes-Benz service
centre.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to objects
in the driver's footwell
Objects in the driver's footwell may impede
pedal travel or block a depressed pedal.
This jeopardises the operating and road safety
of the vehicle.
Stow all objects in the vehicle securely
#
so that they cannot get into the driver's
footwell.
Always fit the floor mats securely and as
#
prescribed in order to ensure that there
is always sufficient room for the pedals.
Do not use loose floor mats and do not
#
place floor mats on top of one another.
* NOTE Battery discharging from using devi-
ces connected to the diagnostics connec-
tion
Using devices at the diagnostics connection
drains the battery.
Check the charge level of the battery.
#
If the charge level is low, charge the bat-
#
tery, e.g. by driving a considerable dis-
tance.
Please also note the information about the 12 V
battery and short-distance trips in the "Driving
and Parking" chapter (
page 187).
