Mercedes-Benz 2006 E-Class - User Manual

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
This guide has been prepared to help
you get quickly acquainted with your
new Mercedes-Benz and to provide
a convenient reference source for
common questions.
However, it is not intended as a
substitute for your Operator’s Manual.
For complete operational instructions,
maintenance procedures and important
safety messages, please consult your
Operator’s Manual and other warning
labels in your car.
SAFETY REMINDERS
Your Mercedes-Benz is equipped
with many safety engineering features,
including front and side and window
curtain air bags for both the driver and
front-seat passenger and window curtain/
side air bags for rear seat passengers.
Air bags do not replace your seat
belts; they supplement the protection
offered by seat belts.
Air bags can help protect you in a
severe frontal collision and in certain
side impacts, but they do not provide
protection in any other kind of collision.
Always make sure you and your
passengers wear safety belts
Warning: According to accident
statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in the rear seating
positions than the front seating
positions. Thus, we recommend that
children be placed in the rear seats.
Regardless of seating position,
children 12 years old and under must
be seated and/or properly secured in
an appropriate infant or toddler
restraint or booster seat recommended
for the size and weight of the child. A
child’s risk of serious or fatal injuries is
significantly increased if the child’s
restraints are not properly secured in
the vehicle and the child is not prop-
erly secured in the child restraint.
See Operator’s Manual for additional
warnings and information on air
bags, seat belts and child seats.
MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
Please contact your Mercedes-Benz
dealer or the Mercedes-Benz Customer
Assistance Center with any questions
you may have about your vehicle.
We extend our best wishes for many
miles of safe, pleasurable driving.
