Upholstery

Using aftermarket seat covers or wearing
clothing that has the tendency to give off
coloring (e.g. when wet, etc.) may cause
the upholstery to become permanently dis-
colored. By lining the seats with a proper
intermediate cover, contact-discoloration
will be prevented.

Leather upholstery*

Wipe leather upholstery with a damp cloth
and dry thoroughly or clean with
Mercedes-Benz approved Leather Care.
Exercise particular care when cleaning per-
forated leather as its underside should not
become wet.

MB Tex upholstery

Pour Mercedes-Benz approved Interior
Care onto soft lint-free cloth and apply
with light pressure.

Plastic and rubber parts

Do not use oil or wax on these parts.

Wood trims

Dampen cloth using water and use damp
cloth to clean wood trims in your vehicle.
Do not use solvents like tar remover or
wheel cleaner nor polishes or waxes as
these may be abrasive.

Problem

Possible cause

Suggested solution

-

The yellow ABS warning lamp
comes on while driving.

ABS has detected a malfunction and has
switched off. The BAS, ESP, 4-ETS and EBP
are also switched off.

The brake system is still functioning normally
but without ABS available.

왘

Continue driving with added caution.
Wheels may lock during hard braking
reducing steering capability.

왘

Have the system checked at an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Cen-
ter as soon as possible.

Failure to follow these instructions in-
creases the risk of an accident.

The charging voltage has fallen below
10 volts. The ABS has switched off.

When the voltage is above this value
again, the ABS is operational again.

왘

If necessary, have the generator
(alternator) and the battery checked.
