Protection of the environment

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Protection of the environment - 1

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental damage due to operating conditions and personal driving style

The pollutant emission of the vehicle is directly related to the way you operate the vehicle.

Operate your vehicle in an environmentally responsible manner to help protect the environment. Please observe the following recommendations on operating conditions and personal driving style.

Operating conditions:

Make sure that the tyre pressure is correct.
Do not carry any unnecessary weight (e.g. roof luggage racks once you no longer need them).
Adhere to the service intervals. A regularly serviced vehicle will contribute to environmental protection.

Always have maintenance work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

Personal driving style:

Do not depress the accelerator pedal when starting the engine.
Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary.
▶ Drive carefully and maintain a suitable distance from the vehicle in front.
Avoid frequent, sudden acceleration and braking.
Change gear in good time and use each gear only up to 23 of its maximum engine speed.
Switch off the engine in stationary traffic, e.g. by using the ECO start/stop function.
▶ Drive fuel-efficiently. Observe the ECO display for a fuel-efficient driving style.

Take-back of end-of-life vehicles

EU countries only:

Mercedes-Benz will take back your end-of-life vehicle for environment-friendly disposal in accordance with the European Union (EU) End-of-Life Vehicles Directive.

A network of vehicle take-back points and dismantlers has been established for you to return your vehicle. You can leave it at any of these points free of charge. This makes an important contribution to closing the recycling circle and conserving resources.

For further information about the recycling and disposal of end-of-life vehicles, and the take-back conditions, please visit the national Mercedes-Benz website for your country.

Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts - 1

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental damage caused by not using recycled reconditioned components

Mercedes-Benz AG offers recycled reconditioned components and parts with the same quality as new parts. The same entitlement from the implied warranty is valid as for new parts.

NOTE Impairment of the operating efficiency of the restraint systems from installing accessory parts or from repairs or welding

Airbags and seat belt tensioners, as well as control units and sensors for the restraint systems, may be installed in the following areas of your vehicle:

- doors

  • door pillars
  • door sills
  • seats
  • cockpit
  • instrument cluster
  • centre console
  • lateral roof frame

Do not install accessory parts such as audio systems in these areas.
Do not carry out repairs or welding.
▶ Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified specialist workshop.

You could jeopardise the operating safety of your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as well as accessories relevant to safety which have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz. Safety-relevant systems, e.g. the brake system, may malfunction. Only use Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts or parts of equal quality. Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that have been specifically approved for your vehicle model.

Mercedes-Benz tests original parts and conversion parts and accessories that have been specifically approved for your vehicle model for their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore accepts no responsibility for the use of such parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they have been officially approved or independently approved by a testing centre.

Certain parts are only officially approved for installation or modification if they comply with legal requirements. All Mercedes-Benz Genuine-Parts meet the approval requirements. The use of non-approved parts may invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit.

This is the case in the following situations:

  • the vehicle type is different from that for which the vehicle's general operating permit was granted.
  • other road users could be endangered.
    • the exhaust gas or noise level gets worse.

Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) ( page 352) when ordering Mercedes-Benz GenuineParts.

Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from that in the descriptions and illustrations.

The original purchase agreement for your vehicle contains a list of all of the systems in your vehicle.

Should you have any questions concerning equipment and operation, please consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are important documents and should be kept in the vehicle.

Operating safety

⚠ WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunctions or system failure

In order to avoid malfunctions or system failures:

Always have the specified service/maintenance work as well as any necessary repairs carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

A WARNING Risk of accident or injury due to improper modifications to electronic components

Modifications to electronic components, their software or wiring can impair their functionality and/or the functionality of other networked components or safety-relevant systems.

This can endanger the vehicle's operating safety.

You must not tamper with wiring, electronic components, or their software.

▶ Always have work on electrical and electronic devices carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.

If you modify the on-board electronics, the general operating permit is rendered invalid.

Observe the "On-board electronics" section in "Technical data".

WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable materials on hot parts of the exhaust system

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.

When driving on unpaved roads or off-road, regularly check the vehicle underside.

Remove trapped plants or other flammable material, in particular.

If there is damage, consult a qualified specialist workshop immediately.

NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to driving too fast and due to impacts to the vehicle underbody or suspension components

In the following situations, in particular, there is a risk of damage to the vehicle:

  • the vehicle becomes grounded, e.g. on a high kerb or an unpaved road
  • the vehicle is driven too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a kerb, speed bump or pot-hole
  • a heavy object strikes the underbody or suspension components

In situations such as these, damage to the body, underbody, suspension components, wheels or tyres may not be visible. Components damaged in this way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of an accident, may no longer absorb the resulting force as intended.

If the underbody panelling is damaged, flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs can collect between the underbody the underbody panelling. These materials may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system.

Have the vehicle checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.
or
If driving safety is impaired while continuing your journey, pull over and stop the vehicle immediately, while paying attention to road and traffic conditions, and contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Data storage

Data processing in the vehicle

Electronic control units

Electronic control units are fitted in your vehicle. Control units process data which, for example, they receive from vehicle sensors, generate themselves or exchange between themselves. Some control units are required for the safe operation of your vehicle, some assist you when driving, such as driver assistance systems, while others enable comfort or infotainment functions.

The following provides you with general information regarding data processing in the vehicle. Additional information regarding exactly which data in your vehicle are collected, saved and transmitted to third parties and for what purpose, can be found in the information directly related to the functional characteristics in question in their respective operating instructions. This information is also available on line and, depending on the vehicle equipment, digitally.

Personal data

Every vehicle is identified by a unique vehicle identification number. Depending on the country, this vehicle identification number can be used by, for example, governmental authorities to determine the identity of the owner. There are other possibilities to use data collected from the vehicle to identify the owner or driver, such as the licence plate number.

Therefore, data generated or processed by control units may be attributable to a person or, under certain conditions, become attributable to a person. Depending on which vehicle data are available, it may be possible to make inferences about, for example, your driving behaviour, your location, your route or your use patterns.

If legally required to do so, manufacturers are, in individual cases, legally obliged to provide governmental entities, upon request and to the extent required, data stored by the manufacturer. For example, this may be the case during the investigation of a criminal offence.

Governmental entities are themselves, in individual cases and within the applicable legal framework, authorised to read out data from the vehicle. In the case of an accident, information that can help with an investigation can, therefore, be taken from the airbag control unit, for example.

Operational data in the vehicle

This is data regarding the operation of the vehicle, which have been processed by control units. This includes the following data, for example:

- vehicle status information such as the speed, longitudinal acceleration, lateral acceleration, number of wheel revolutions or the fastened seat belts display

- ambient conditions, such as temperature, rain sensor or distance sensor

Generally, the use of these data is temporary; they will not be stored beyond the period of operation and will only be processed within the vehicle itself. Control units often contain data memories for vehicle keys, for example. Their use permits the temporary or permanent documentation of technical information about the vehicle's operating state, component loads, maintenance requirements and technical events or faults.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following data are stored:

  • operating status of system components, such as fill levels, tyre pressure or battery status
  • malfunctions or faults in important system components, such as lights or brakes
  • system reactions in special driving situations, such as airbag deployment or the intervention of stability control systems
    • information on events leading to vehicle damage

In certain cases, it may be required to store data that would have otherwise been used only temporarily. This may be the case if the vehicle has detected a malfunction, for example.

If you use services, such as repair services and maintenance work, stored operational data as well as the vehicle identification number can be read out and used. They can be read out by service network employees, such as workshops and manufacturers or third parties, such as breakdown services. The same is true in the case of warranty claims and quality assurance measures.

In general, the read out is performed via the legally prescribed port for the diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The operational data that are read out document technical states of the vehicle or of individual components and assist the diagnosis of malfunctions, compliance with warranty obligations and quality improvement. To that end, these data, in particular information about component loads, technical events, malfunctions and other faults may be transmitted along with the vehicle identification number to the manufacturer. Furthermore, the manufacturer is subject to product liability. For this reason the manufacturer also uses operational from the vehicle, for example, for recalls. These data can also be used to examine the customer's warranty and guarantee claims.

Fault memories in the vehicle can be reset by a service outlet or at your request as part of repair or maintenance work.

Convenience and infotainment functions

You can store convenience settings and individual settings in the vehicle and change or reset them at any time.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, this includes the following settings, for example:

  • seat and steering wheel positions
  • suspension and climate control settings
    in• individual settings, such as interior lighting

Depending on the selected equipment, you can import data into vehicle infotainment functions yourself.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, this data includes the following data, for example:

  • multimedia data, such as music, films or photos for playback in an integrated multimedia system
  • address book data for use in connection with an integrated hands-free system or an integrated navigation system
  • entered navigation destinations
    • data about the use of Internet services

These data for convenience and infotainment functions may be saved locally in the vehicle or they may be located on a device which you have connected to the vehicle, such as a smartphone, USB flash drive or MP3 player. If you have entered these data yourself, you can delete them at any time.

This data is transmitted from the vehicle to third parties only at your request. This applies, in particular, when you use online services in accordance with the settings that you have selected.

Smartphone integration (e.g. Android Auto or Apple CarPlay)

If your vehicle is accordingly equipped, you can connect your smartphone or another mobile en device to the vehicle. You can then control them by means of the control elements integrated in the vehicle. Images and audio from the smartphone can be output via the multimedia system Certain information is simultaneously transferred to your smartphone. Depending on the type and integration, this includes position data, the day/night mode and other general vehicle statuses. For more information please consult the Owner's Manual of the vehicle/infotainment system.

This integration allows the use of selected smartphone apps, such as navigation or music player apps. There is no further interaction between the smartphone and the vehicle; in particular, vehicle data is not directly accessible. The type of additional data processing is determined by the provider of the app being used. Which settings you can make, if any, depends on the specific app and the operating system of your smartphone.

Online services

Wireless network connection

If your vehicle has a wireless network connection, it enables data to be exchanged between your vehicle and additional systems. The wireless network connection is made possible by the vehicle's own transmitter and receiver or by a mobile end device that you have brought into the vehicle, for example, a smartphone. Online functions can be used via the wireless network connection. This includes online services and applications/apps provided to you by the manufacturer or by other providers.

Manufacturer's services

Regarding the manufacturer's online services, the individual functions are described by the manufacturer in a suitable place, for example, in the Owner's Manual or on the manufacturer's website, where the relevant data protection information is also given. Personal data may be used for the provision of online services. Data are exchanged via a secure connection, such as the manufacturer's designated IT systems. Any personal data which are collected, processed

and used, other than for the provision of services, is done so exclusively on the basis of legal permission. This is the case, for example, for a legally prescribed emergency call system, a contractual agreement or when consent has been given.

You can have services and functions, some of which are subject to a fee, activated or deactivated. This excludes legally prescribed functions and services, such as an emergency call system.

Third party services

If you use online services from other providers (third parties), these services are the responsibility of the provider in question and subject to that provider's data protection conditions and terms of use. As a general rule, the manufacturer has no influence on the content exchanged.

For this reason, when services are provided by third parties, please ask the service provider in question for information about the type, extent and purpose of the collection and use of personal data.

Data protection rights

Depending on your country or the equipment and range of functions of your vehicle as well as the services you use and the services on offer, you are entitled to different data protection rights. Further information on data protection and your data protection rights can either be found on the manufacturer's website or you will receive this information as part of the various services and service offers. There you will also find the contact information for the manufacturer and its data protection officers.

At a workshop, for example, with the support of a specialist and possibly for a fee, you can have data read out which is stored only locally in the vehicle.

Information on licences for free and open-source software used in your vehicle can be found on the data carrier in your vehicle document wallet and with updates on the following website:

Restraint system

Protection provided by the restraint system

The restraint system includes the following components:

  • Seat belt system
  • Airbags
  • Child restraint system
    • Child seat securing systems

The restraint system can help prevent the vehicle occupants from coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior in the event of an accident. In the event of an accident, the restraint system can also reduce the forces to which the vehicle occupants are subjected.

A seat belt can only provide the best level of protection if it is worn correctly. Depending on the detected accident situation, seat belt tensioners and/or airbags supplement the protection offered by a correctly worn seat belt. Seat belt tensioners and/or airbags are not deployed in every accident.

In order for the restraint system to provide the intended level of protection, each vehicle occupant must observe the following information:

  • Fasten seat belts correctly.
  • Sit in an almost upright seat position with their back against the seat backrest.
  • Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible.
  • Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in an additional restraint system suitable for Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

However, no system available today can completely eliminate injuries and fatalities in every accident situation. In particular, the seat belt and airbag generally do not protect against objects penetrating the vehicle from the outside. It is also not possible to completely rule out the risk of injury caused by the airbag deploying.

Reduced restraint system protection

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Reduced restraint system protection - 1

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to modifications to the restraint system

Vehicle occupants may no longer be protected as intended if alterations are made to the restraint system.

▶ Never alter the parts of the restraint system.
▶ Never tamper with the wiring or any electronic component parts or their software.

If it is necessary to modify the vehicle to accommodate a person with disabilities, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use driving aids which have been approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.

Restraint system functionality

When the ignition is switched on, a self-test is performed, during which the restraint sys-

tem warning lamp lights up. It goes out no later than a few seconds after the vehicle is started. The components of the restraint system are then functional.

Malfunctioning restraint system

A malfunction has occurred in the restraint system if:

  • the restraint system warning lamp does not light up when the ignition is switched
  • the ☐ restraint system warning lamp lights up continuously or repeatedly during journey

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Malfunctioning restraint system - 1

WARNING Risk of injury due to malfunctions in the restraint system

Components in the restraint system may be activated unintentionally or not deploy as intended in an accident.

Have the restraint system checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

Function of the restraint system in an accident

How the restraint system works depends on the severity of the impact detected and the apparent type of accident:

  • Frontal impact
  • Rear impact
  • Side impact

- Rollover

The activation thresholds for the components of the restraint system are determined based on the evaluation of the sensor values measured at various points in the vehicle. This process is preemptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of the components of the restraint system must take place in good time at the start of the collision.

Factors which can only be seen and measured after a collision has occurred cannot play a decisive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they provide an indication of airbag deployment.

The vehicle may be deformed significantly without an airbag being deployed. This is the case if only parts which are relatively easily deformed are affected and the rate of vehicle deceleration is not high. Conversely, an airbag may be deployed even though the vehicle suffers only minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts such as longitudinal members are hit, this may result in sufficiently high levels of vehicle deceleration.

Depending on the detected deployment situation, the components of the restraint system can be activated or deployed independently of each other:

  • Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear impact, side impact, rollover
  • Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: frontal impact
  • Knee airbag: frontal impact
  • Side airbag: side impact
  • Window airbag: side impact, rollover, frontal impact
  • PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side: side impact

The front passenger airbag can only be deploy in an accident if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF

indicator lamp is off. If the front passenger seat is occupied, make sure, both before and during the journey, that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct ( page 47).

⚠ WARNING Risk of burns from hot airbag components

The airbag parts are hot after an airbag has been deployed.

Do not touch the airbag parts.
Have a deployed airbag replaced at a qualified specialist workshop as soon as possible.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident. Take this into account, particularly if a seat belt tensioner is triggered or an airbag deployed.

If the seat belt tensioners are triggered or an airbag is deployed, you will hear a bang, and a small amount of powder may also be released:

- The bang will not generally affect your hearing.

In general, the powder released is not hazardous to health but may cause short-term breathing difficulties to persons suffering from asthma or other pulmonary conditions.

Provided it is safe to do so, leave the vehicle immediately or open the window in order prevent breathing difficulties.

Seat belts

Protection provided by the seat belt

Always fasten your seat belt correctly before starting a journey. A seat belt can only provide the best level of protection if it is worn correctly.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrectly fastened seat belt

If the seat belt is not worn correctly, it cannot perform its intended protective function. In addition, an incorrectly fastened seat belt can also cause injuries, for example, in the event of an accident or when braking or changing direction suddenly.

Always ensure that all vehicle occupants have their seat belts fastened correctly and are sitting properly.

Always observe the instructions about the correct driver's seat position and adjusting the seat ( page 96).

In order for the correctly worn seat belt to provide the intended level of protection, each vehicle occupant must observe the following information:

  • The seat belt must not be twisted and must fit tightly and snugly across the body.
  • The seat belt must be routed across the centre of the shoulder and as low down across the hips as possible.
  • The shoulder section of the seat belt should not touch your neck nor be routed under your arm or behind your back.
  • Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.
  • Push the lap belt down as far as possible across your hips and pull tight with the shoul-

der section of the belt. Never route the lap belt across your abdomen.

Pregnant women must also take particular care with this.

  • Never route the seat belt across sharp, pointed, abrasive or fragile objects.
  • Only one person should use each seat belt any one time. Never allow babies and children to travel sitting on the lap of another vehicle occupant.
  • Never secure objects with a seat belt if the seat belt is also being used by one of the vehicle's occupants. Always observe the instructions for loading the vehicle when securing objects, luggage or loads (→ page 108).

Also ensure that no objects, e.g. a cushion, are ever placed between a person and the seat.

If children are travelling in the vehicle, be sure to observe the instructions and safety notes on "Children in the vehicle" (→ page 52).

Limitations of the protection provided by the seat belt

⚠ WARNING Risk of injury or death due to an incorrect seat position

The seat belt does not offer the intended level of protection if you have not moved the seat backrest to an almost vertical position.

You could slip beneath the seat belt and injure yourself.

Adjust the seat properly before commencing your journey.
▶ Always ensure that the seat backrest is in an almost vertical position and that the shoulder belt is routed across the centre of your shoulder.

WARNING Risk of injury or death when additional restraint systems are not used for persons with a smaller stature

Persons under 1.50 m tall cannot wear the seat belt correctly without a suitable additional restraint system.

▶ Always secure persons under 1.50 m tall in a suitable restraint system.
WARNING Risk of injury or death due to damaged or modified seat belts

Seat belts cannot provide protection in the following situations:

  • the seat belt is damaged, has been modified, is extremely dirty, bleached or dyed
  • the seat belt buckle is damaged or extremely dirty
  • modifications have been made to the seat belt tensioner, seat belt anchorage or seat belt retractor

Seat belts may sustain non-visible damage in an accident, e.g. due to glass splinters.

Modified or damaged seat belts could tear or fail in the event of an accident, for example.

Modified seat belt tensioners could accidentally trigger or fail to function as intended.

▶ Never modify the seat belt system, for example the seat belt, seat belt buckle,

seat belt tensioner, seat belt anchorage and seat belt retractor.
Make sure that the seat belts are undamaged, not worn and clean.
▶ Always have the seat belts checked immediately after an accident at a qualified specialist workshop.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use seat belts which have been approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.

The AMG sport seat and the AMG Performance seat are designed for the standard three-point seat belt. If you fit a different multipoint seat belt, for example a four-point seat belt, the restraint system cannot provide the intended level of protection.

Depending on the type of vehicle, there may be openings in the seat backrest. These openings have no function.

WARNING Risk of injury or fatal injury due to modified seat belt systems
If you feed seat belts through the opening in the seat backrest, the seat backrest may be damaged or may even break in the event of an accident.
Only use the standard three-point seat belt.
▶ Never modify the seat belt system.

A WARNING Risk of injury or death from deployed pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners

Pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners that have been deployed are no longer operational and are unable to perform their intended protective function.

Therefore, have deployed pyrotechnic seat belt tensioners immediately replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the vehicle towed to a qualified specialist workshop after an accident.

NOTE Damage caused by trapping the seat belt

If an unused seat belt is not fully retracted, it may become trapped in the door or in the seat mechanism.

Always ensure that an unused seat belt is fully retracted.

Fastening and adjusting seat belts

If the seat belt is pulled quickly or sharply, the seat belt retractor locks. The seat belt strap cannot be pulled out any further.

  • There are heavy objects on the front passenger seat.
  • The seat belt tongue is engaged in the seat belt buckle of the front passenger seat and the front passenger seat is unoccupied.

Stow objects in a suitable place.
▶ Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time.

Depending on the detected accident situation, the window airbag on the front passenger side may deploy. The airbag is deployed regardless of whether the front passenger seat is occupied.

Protective capacity of the airbags

Depending on the accident situation, an airbag may supplement the protection offered by a correctly fastened seat belt.

⚠ WARNING Risk of injury or death due to an incorrect seat position

If you deviate from the correct seat position, the airbag cannot perform its intended protective function.

Each vehicle occupant must make sure of following:

  • Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant women must take particular care to ensure that the lap belt never lies across the abdomen.
  • Adopt the correct seat position and keep as far away as possible from the airbags.
  • Observe the following information.
    ▶ Always make sure that there are no objects between the airbag and vehicle occupant.

To avoid the risks resulting from the deployment of an airbag, each vehicle occupant must observe the following information in particular:

- Before starting your journey, adjust your seat correctly; the driver's seat and front passenger seat should be moved as far back as possible.

When doing so, always observe the information on the correct driver's seat position ( page 96).

  • Only hold the steering wheel by the steering wheel rim. This allows the airbag to be fully deployed.
  • Always lean against the seat backrest when the vehicle is in motion. Do not lean forwards or against the door or side window. You may otherwise be in the deployment area of the airbags.

After fitting a rearward-facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat:

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF must be lit continuously.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - After fitting a rearward-facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat: - 1

WARNING Risk of injury or death when using a rearward-facing child restraint system while the front passenger airbag is enabled

If you secure a child in a rearward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat and the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off, the front passenger airbag can deploy in the event of an accident. The child could be struck by the airbag.

Always ensure that the front passenger air-bag is disabled. The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be lit. NEVER use a rearward-facing child restraint system on a seat with an ENABLED FRONT AIRBAG; DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.

When fitting a child restraint system to the front passenger seat, observe the vehicle-specific information ( page 68).

Depending on the child restraint system and the stature of the child, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp may be off. In this case, do

not fit the rearward-facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat.

Instead, fit the rearward-facing child restraint system to a suitable rear seat.

After fitting a forward-facing child restraint system to the front passenger seat: depending on the child restraint system and the stature of the child, PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF may be lit continuously or be off. Always observe the following information.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrect positioning of the forward-facing child restraint system

If you secure a child in a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat that is positioned too close to the cockpit, in the event of an accident, the child could:

  • come into contact with the vehicle interior if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit, for example
  • be struck by the airbag if the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off.

Always move the front passenger seat as far back as possible and fully retract the seat cushion length adjustment.
While doing so, always make sure that the shoulder belt strap is correctly routed from the seat belt outlet of the vehicle to the shoulder belt guide on the child restraint system. The shoulder belt strap must be routed forwards and downwards from the seat belt outlet. If necessary, adjust the seat belt outlet and the front passenger seat accordingly.
▶ Always comply with the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.

When fitting a child restraint system to the front passenger seat, observe the vehicle-specific information ( page 68).

If a person is sitting on the front passenger seat: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF may be lit continuously or be off, depending on the person's stature.

A person on the front passenger seat must always observe the following information:

- If the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult or a person with a stature corresponding to that of an adult, the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp must be off. This indicates that the front passenger airbag is enabled.

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continuously, an adult or person with a build corresponding to that of an adult should not use the front passenger seat. Instead, they should use a rear seat.

- If the front passenger seat is occupied by a person of smaller stature (e.g. a teenager or small adult), the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp either lights up continuously or remains off, depending on the classification.

- If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is off: move the front passenger seat as far back as possible, or the person of smaller stature should use a rear seat.

- If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit continuously: the person of smaller stature should not use the front passenger seat.

A WARNING Risk of injury or death when the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit

If the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp remains lit after the self-test, the co-driver airbag is disabled.

If the co-driver seat is occupied, always ensure that:

  • The classification of the person in the co-driver seat is correct, and the co-driver airbag is enabled or disabled as is appropriate for the person in the co-driver seat.
  • The person is seated properly with a correctly fastened seat belt.

Be sure to also observe the following further related subjects:

PRE-SAFE® system

PRE-SAFE® (anticipatory occupant protection)

PRE-SAFE ^® is able to detect certain critical driving situations and implement pre-emptive measures to protect the vehicle occupants.

PRE-SAFE ^® can implement the following measures independently of each other:

  • Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat and front passenger seat.
  • Closing the side windows.
  • Vehicles with sliding sunroof: close the sliding sunroof.
  • Vehicles with memory function: move the front passenger seat to a more favourable seat position.
  • Vehicles with multicontour seat: increase the air pressure in the seat side bolsters of the seat backrest.

- PRE-SAFE® Sound: provided that the multi-media system is switched on, generates a brief noise signal to stimulate the innate protective mechanism of a person's hearing.

NOTE Damage caused by objects in the footwell or behind the seat

The automatic adjustment of the seat position may result in damage to the seat and/or the object.

▶ Stow objects in a suitable place.

Reversing the PRE-SAFE ^® system measures

If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive measures that were taken are reversed.

You will need to perform certain settings yourself.

If the seat belt pre-tensioning is not reduced, move the seat backrest back slightly. The locking mechanism releases.

Function of PRE-SAFE® PLUS (anticipatory occupant protection plus)

PRE-SAFE® PLUS can detect certain impacts, particularly an imminent rear impact, and take pre-emptive measures to protect the vehicle occupants. These measures cannot necessarily prevent an imminent impact.

PRE-SAFE® PLUS can implement the following measures independently of each other:

  • Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat and front passenger seat.
  • Activating the rear hazard warning lights at a higher flashing frequency.
  • Increasing brake pressure when the vehicle is stationary. This brake application is cancelled automatically when the vehicle pulls away.

If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive measures that were taken are reversed.

System limits

The system will not initiate any action in the following situations:

  • when reversing or
  • when the vehicle is towing a trailer and there is a risk of a rear impact

The system will not initiate any braking application in the following situations:

• whilst driving or
- when entering or exiting a parking space while using Active Parking Assist

Function of PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side

If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the front seat vehicle occupant's upper body towards the centre of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly inflating an air cushion in the outer seat side bolster of the seat backrest on the side on which the impact is anticipated. This increases

the distance between the door and the vehicle occupant.

If PRE-SAFE ^® Impulse Side has been deployed or is faulty, the PRE-SAFE impulse side inoperative See Owner's Manual display message appears (→ page 366).

Safely transporting children in the vehicle

Always observe when children are travelling in the vehicle

Also strictly observe the safety notes for the specific situation. In this way you can recognise potential risks and avoid dangers if children are travelling in the vehicle ( page 52).

Be diligent

Bear in mind that negligence when securing a child in the child restraint system may have serious consequences. Always be diligent in securing a child carefully before every journey.

To improve protection for children younger than 12 years old or under 1.50 m in height, Mercedes-Benz recommends you observe the following information:

  • Always secure the child in a child restraint system suitable for this Mercedes-Benz vehicle.
  • The child restraint system must be appropriate to the age, weight and size of the child.
  • The vehicle seat must be suitable for fitting a child restraint system ( page 56).

Accident statistics show that children secured on the rear seats are generally safer than children secured on the front seats. For this reason, Mercedes-Benz strongly advises that you fit a child restraint system to a rear seat.

The generic term child restraint system

The generic term child restraint system is used in this Owner's Manual. A child restraint system is, for example:

  • a baby car seat
    • a rearward-facing child seat

• a forward-facing child seat
- a child booster seat with a backrest and belt guide
Mercedes-Benz recommends using a child booster seat with a backrest.

The child restraint system must be appropriate to the age, weight and size of the child.

Always observe the legal requirements when using a child restraint system in the vehicle.

Make sure that the child restraint system is approved in accordance with the valid test specifications and guidelines. Further information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose.

Only use approved child restraint systems

Only child restraint systems that meet the following UNECE standards are permitted for use in the vehicle:

  • UN-R44
    • UN-R129 (i-Size child restraint systems)

Information on child restraint system approval categories and details on the approval label on the child restraint system ( page 57).

Detecting risks, avoiding danger

Securing systems for child restraint systems in the vehicle

Only use the following securing systems for child restraint systems:

• the ISOFIX or i-Size securing rings
• the vehicle's seat belt system
• the Top Tether anchorages

Fitting an ISOFIX or an i-Size child restraint system is preferred.

Simply attaching to the securing rings on the vehicle can reduce the risk of fitting the child restraint system incorrectly.

When securing a child with the integrated seat belt of the ISOFIX or i-Size child restraint system, always comply with the permissible gross weight for the child and child restraint system ( page 60).

Advantage of a rearward-facing child restraint system

It is preferable to transport a baby or a small child in a suitable rearward-facing child restraint system. In this case, the child sits in the opposite direction to the direction of travel and faces backwards.

Babies and small children have comparatively weak neck muscles in relation to the size and weight of their head. The risk of injury to the cervical spine during an accident can be reduced a rearward-facing child restraint system.

Always secure a child restraint system correctly

Running-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first 1,500 km:

  • drive at varying road speeds and engine speeds.
  • do not drive at speeds greater than 140 km/h.
  • allow the engine to reach a maximum engine speed of 4,500 rpm only briefly.
  • drive the vehicle in drive program [C].

  • change gear before the rev counter needle is 23 of the way to the red area of the rev counter.

  • do not shift down a gear manually in order to brake.
  • avoid overstraining the vehicle, e.g. driving at full throttle.
  • do not depress the accelerator pedal past the pressure point (kickdown).
  • only increase the engine speed gradually and accelerate the vehicle to full speed after 1,500 km.

This also applies when the engine or parts of the drivetrain have been replaced.

Please also observe the following running-in notes:

- in certain driving and driving safety systems, the sensors adjust automatically while a certain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered or after repairs. Full system effectiveness is not reached until the end of this teach-in process.

- brakepads, brake discs and tyres that are either new or have been replaced only achieve optimum braking effect and grip after several hundred kilometres of driving. Compensate for the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal.

Notes on engine output and engine torque

The actual (maximum) values that can be achieved for engine output and engine torque may deviate from the certified values within the country-specific guidelines for permissible tolerances (basis: UN-ECE No. 85 or country-specific guidelines).

Variables that can influence this are, for example:

  • Location above sea level
  • fuel grade
  • Outside temperature
    • operating temperature of the engine

Until the engine has reached its operating temperature, the engine operating temperature warning lamp is lit.

Engine output and engine torque have been reduced. Take this into account for your driving style.

When the engine operating temperature warning lamp goes out, full engine output and engine que are available.

Notes on driving

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Notes on driving - 1

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.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Notes on driving - 2

WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect footwear

Incorrect footwear includes, for example:

• shoes with platform soles
• shoes with high heels
- slippers
Always wear suitable footwear so that you can operate the pedals safely.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Notes on driving - 3

WARNING Risk of accident if the ignition is switched off while driving

If you switch off the ignition while driving, safety functions are restricted or no longer available.

You will then need, for example, to use considerably more force to steer and brake.

Do not switch off the ignition while driving.

DANGER Risk of death caused by exhaust gases

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling these exhaust gases is hazardous to health and leads to poisoning.

▶ Never leave the engine or, if present, the auxiliary heating running in an enclosed space without sufficient ventilation.

A WARNING Risk of skidding and of an accident due to shifting down on slippery road surfaces

If you shift down on slippery road surfaces to increase the engine braking effect, the drive wheels may lose traction.

Do not shift down on slippery road surfaces to increase the engine braking effect.

DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to poisonous exhaust gases

If the tailpipe is blocked or sufficient ventilation is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehicle. This is the case when the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, for example.

Keep the tailpipe and the area around the vehicle free from snow when the engine or the stationary heater are running.
Open a window on the side of the vehicle facing away from the wind to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident due to the brake system overheating

If you leave your foot on the brake pedal when driving, the brake system may overheat.

This increases the braking distance and the brake system may even fail.

▶ Never use the brake pedal as a footrest.
Do not depress the brake pedal and the accelerator pedal at the same time while driving.

WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect gearshifting

If the engine speed is higher than the idle speed and you engage the transmission position D or R, the vehicle may accelerate sharply.

If you engage the transmission position D or R when the vehicle is at a standstill, always depress the brake pedal firmly and do not accelerate at the same time.

! NOTE Engine damage due to excessively high engine speeds

The engine will be damaged if you drive with the engine in the overrevving range.

Do not drive with the engine in the over-revving range.
! NOTE Causing wear to the brake linings by permanently depressing the brake pedal
Do not permanently depress the brake pedal while driving.
To use braking effect of the engine, shift to a lower gear in good time.

! NOTE Damage to the drivetrain and engine when pulling away

Do not warm up the engine while the vehicle is stationary. Pull away immediately.
Avoid high engine speeds and driving at full throttle until the engine has reached its operating temperature.

NOTE Damage to the catalytic converter due to non-combusted fuel

The engine is not running smoothly and is misfiring.

Non-combusted fuel may get into the catalytic converter.

▶ Only depress the accelerator pedal slightly.
Have the cause rectified immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

Notes on driving on salt-treated roads

The braking effect is limited on salt-treated roads.

Therefore, observe the following notes:

  • due to salt build-up on the brake disks and brakepads, the braking distance can increase considerably or result in braking only on one side

- maintain a much greater safe distance to the vehicle in front

To remove salt build-up:

  • brake occasionally while paying attention to the traffic conditions
  • carefully depress the brake pedal at the end of the journey and when starting the next journey

Notes on aquaplaning

Aquaplaning can take place once a certain amount of water has accumulated on the road surface.

Observe the following notes during heavy precipitation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may occur:

  • reduce speed
  • avoid tyre ruts

- avoid sudden steering movements

• brake carefully

Also observe the notes on regularly checking wheels and tyres ( page 335).

Notes on driving through water on the road surface

Water which has entered into the vehicle can damage the engine, electrics and transmission.

Water can also enter the air intake of the engine and cause engine damage.

Observe the following if you must drive through water:

  • The water, when calm, may only reach the lower edge of the vehicle body.
  • Drive at walking pace at most, otherwise water can enter the vehicle interior or engine compartment.
  • Vehicles travelling in front, or oncoming vehicles, can create waves which may exceed the maximum permissible depth of the water.

The braking effect of the brakes is reduced after fording. Brake carefully while paying attention to the traffic conditions until braking power has been fully restored.

Function of rear axle steering

The rear axle steering is an electromechanical auxiliary steering on the rear axle which adjusts the steering of the rear wheels according to the position of the front wheels, depending on the speed. This results in greater manoeuvrability and improved stability.

Rear axle steering has the following characteristics:

  • reduced steering effort and turning circle resulting in reduced parking effort
  • improved driving stability, e.g. when cornering
  • more direct steering resulting in improved handling of the vehicle

Observe the notes on snow chains (→ page 335) and on activating snow chain mode.

Information on the AMG ceramic high-performance composite brake system

The brake system is designed for heavy loads. This may lead to noise when braking. This effect can also occur after washing the vehicle.

The noise depends on the following factors:

  • speed
  • brake force
    • environmental conditions, e.g. temperature and air humidity

i Have the brake system checked at a qualified specialist workshop after it has been subjected to extreme loads.

ECO start/stop function

Operation of the ECO start/stop function

The ECO start/stop function is not available in all drive programs, depending on the engine. Observe the status display in the multifunction display for this.

The engine is switched off automatically in the following situations if all vehicle conditions for an automatic engine stop are met:

  • you brake the vehicle to a standstill in transmission position [D] or [N].
  • vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system: you depress the brake pedal when travelling at a low speed.

If the system has detected one of the following situations, the engine will not stop:

  • you stop at a stop sign and there is no vehicle in front of you.
  • the vehicle that stopped in front of you starts up again.
  • you manoeuvre, turn the steering wheel sharply or engage reverse gear.

If the system detects an intelligent stop inhibitor, e.g. a stop sign, the engine will not stop.

If you activate the HOLD function or engage the park position P, the engine can be switched off in spite of an intelligent stop inhibitor.

The engine is restarted automatically if:

  • you engage transmission position D or R.
  • you depress the accelerator pedal.
  • an automatic engine start is required by the vehicle.
  • you release the brake pedal.

- vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system:

  • you release the brake pedal on a downhill gradient and the vehicle does not roll.
  • the vehicle rolls on a downhill gradient and does not automatically enter glide mode at 20 km/h.

ECO start/stop function symbols in the multifunction display:

  • the symbol (A) (green) appears when the vehicle is at a standstill: the engine was not switched off by the ECO start/stop function.
  • the symbol Ⓐ (yellow) appears when the vehicle is at a standstill: not all vehicle conditions for an engine stop have been met.

  • neither the symbol ☐ nor ☐ appears when the vehicle is at a standstill: an intelligent stop inhibitor was detected, e.g. a stop sign.

  • the symbol ^n appears: the ECO start/stop function is deactivated or there is a malfunction.

If the engine was switched off by the ECO start/stop function and you leave the vehicle, a warning tone sounds and the engine is not restarted. In addition, the following display message appears in the multifunction display:

Vehicle is operational Switch off ignition before exiting

If you do not switch off the ignition, it is automatically switched off after three minutes.

ECO Assist function

This function is country-dependent and is available only for vehicles with a 48 V on-board electrical system.

ECO Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expected route. This allows the system to optimally adjust the driving style for the route ahead, save fuel and recuperate.

ECO Assist is available in the following drive programs:

• (Slippery)
• C Comfort)
- [1*] (Individual): only with the drive setting "Reduced" or "Moderate" (→ page 163)

If the system detects an event ahead, e.g. a speed limit or a roundabout, it will appear on multifunction display.

① Event ahead
② Distance display for the event ahead
③ "Foot off the accelerator" prompt

The segments of distance display ② show the distance to the event ahead as follows:

  • A few segments light up: the event ahead is near.
  • Many segments light up: the event ahead is further away.

When the vehicle nears an event, ECO Assist will calculate the optimal speed for maximum fuel economy and recuperative energy based on the distance, speed and gradient. The "Foot off the accelerator" symbol ③ will appear on the multifunction display.

If the driver takes their foot off the accelerator pedal in good time, the remaining segments on the display will successively turn green until the event shown is reached. The drivetrain will be set for maximum fuel economy. In drive program

with the drive setting "Reduced" or "Moderate", the vehicle will coast, with the combustion engine switched off if necessary.

If there is no response to the prompt, the segments will remain white.

The event will be shown for a short time after it has been passed.

If the event involves a vehicle in front and when the coast-down recommendation is given, all segments will immediately turn green once there is a response to the "Foot off the accelerator" prompt ③.

If the system does not intervene during the event ahead, nothing will be displayed. The system will be passive.

In drive program C, only the event "Vehicle in front" is displayed.

System limits

ECO Assist can function even more precisely if the route is adhered to when route guidance is active. The basic function is also available without active route guidance. Not all information and traffic situations can be foreseen. The quality depends on the map data.

ECO Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible for keeping a safe distance from the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed and for braking in good time. The driver must be ready to brake at

all times irrespective of whether the system intervenes.

The system may be impaired or may not fur in the following situations:

e. If visibility is poor, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, rain, snow, fog or heavy spray.

- If there is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections.

- If there is dirt on the windscreen in the air of the multifunction camera or the camera misted up, damaged or obscured.

- If traffic signs are hard to discern, e.g. due to dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or because they are obscured.

- If the information on the navigation system's digital map is incorrect or out of date.

- If signs are ambiguous, e.g. traffic signs in roadworks or in adjacent lanes.

i Gearshift recommendation is active only if you have activated manual gearshifting with the button on the centre console.

Using kickdown

▶ Maximum acceleration: depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point.

The automatic transmission shifts up to the gear when the maximum engine speed is reached to protect the engine from overrevving.

If you have activated manual gearshifting with the button in the centre console, the transmission does not react to the kick-down.

Glide mode function

With an anticipatory driving style, Glide mode helps you to reduce fuel consumption.

Glide mode is characterised by the following:

• Mercedes-AMG GT 63 and GT 63 S
4MATIC+: the combustion engine is disconnected from the drivetrain and the vehicle continues to roll.
- all other models: the combustion engine is switched off. All of the vehicle functions remain active.
- the symbol appears in the multifunction display.

Glide mode is activated if the following conditions are met:

• the ECO start/stop function is switched on.

  • drive program is selected with the drive setting "Moderate" or "Reduced".
    • the speed is within a suitable range.
  • the road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
  • Mercedes-AMG GT 43, GT 43 4MATIC+ and GT 53 4MATIC+: the charge level of the battery is sufficient.
  • you are no longer depressing the accelerator or brake pedal.

Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the conditions is no longer met.

Function of the 4MATIC

4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven. Together with ESP and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven wheel spins due to insufficient traction.

If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take account of road, weather and traffic conditions.

4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible especially for maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.

In wintry road conditions, the maximum effect of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you use winter tyres (M+S tyres), with snow chains if necessary.

Driving and driving safety systems

Driving systems and your responsibility

Your vehicle is equipped with driving systems which assist you in driving, parking and manoeuvring the vehicle. The driving systems are only aids. They are not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings and do not relieve you of your responsibility pertaining to road traffic law.

The driver is always responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane. Pay attention to the traffic conditions at all times and intervene when necessary. Be aware of the limitations regarding the safe use of these systems.

Driving systems can neither reduce the risk of accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor override the laws of physics. They cannot always take into account road, weather or traffic conditions.

Information on vehicle sensors and cameras

Some driving and driving safety systems use cameras as well as radar or ultrasonic sensors to monitor the area in front of, behind or next to the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Information on vehicle sensors and cameras - 1

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident due to restricted detection performance of vehicle sensors and cameras

If the area around vehicle sensors or cameras is covered, damaged or dirty, certain driving and safety systems cannot function correctly. There is a risk of an accident.

Keep the area around vehicle sensors or cameras clear of any obstructions and clean.
Have damage to the bumper, radiator grille or stone chipping in the area of the front and rear windows repaired at a qualified specialist workshop.

Particularly, keep the areas around the sensors and cameras free of dirt, ice or slush ( page 310). The sensors and cameras may not be covered and the detection ranges around them must be kept free. Do not attach additional license plate brackets, advertisements, stickers,

foils or foils to protect against stone chippings in the detection range of the sensors and cameras. Make sure that there are no overhanging loads protruding into the detection range.

If there is damage to a bumper or the radiator grille, or after an impact, have the function of the sensors checked at a qualified specialist workshop. Have damage or stone chipping in the area of the cameras on the front and rear windows repaired at a qualified specialist workshop.

Function of ABS

The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) regulates the brake pressure in critical driving situations:

  • During braking, e.g. at full brake application or insufficient tyre traction, the wheels are prevented from locking.
    • Vehicle steerability while braking is ensured.

If ABS intervenes when braking, you will feel a pulsing in the brake pedal. The pulsating brake pedal can be an indication of hazardous road conditions and can serve as a reminder to take extra care while driving.

Function of BAS

The Brake Assist System (BAS) supports your emergency braking situation with additional brake force.

1 This function includes subfunctions which are only available in conjunction with the Driving Assistance Package.
2 This function is only available in combination with the Driving Assistance Package.
3 This function is country-dependent and only available in conjunction with the Driving Assistance Package.

If you depress the brake pedal quickly, BAS is activated:

  • BAS automatically boosts the brake pressure.
    • BAS can shorten the braking distance.
    • ABS prevents the wheels from locking.

The brakes will function as usual once you release the brake pedal. BAS is deactivated.

Have ESP ^® checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

You can select between the following modes of the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®):

  • ESP® ON
  • ESP® SPORT
  • ESP® OFF

Characteristics when ESP ^® is activated

ESP ^® monitors and improves driving stability and traction, particularly in the following situations:

  • When pulling away on wet or slippery carriageways.
  • When braking.
  • Vehicles with trailer hitch: in trailer operation from speeds of 65 km/h, if the vehicle/trailer combination begins to sway from side to side.
  • In strong side winds when you are driving faster than 75 km/h.

ESP ^® can stabilise the vehicle by intervening in the following ways:

• One or more wheels are braked.

- The engine output is adapted according to the situation.

ESP ^® is activated every time the engine is started regardless of whether ESP ^® was in ESP SPORT or deactivated before the engine was switched off.

If the ESP warning lamp flashes in the instrument cluster, one or several vehicle wheels has reached its grip limit:

  • Adapt the driving style to suit the prevailing road and weather conditions.
  • Do not deactivate ESPunder any circumstances.
  • Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as is necessary.

Characteristics of ESP® SPORT

ESP ^® SPORT also has the following characteristics:

- ESP® only improves driving stability to a limited degree.

• ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.

  • The engine's torque is only restricted to a limited degree and the drive wheels can. The spinning of the wheels results in a cutting action for better traction on loose surfaces.
  • ESP ^ continues to provide assistance when the brakes are firmly applied.
  • Vehicles with trailer hitch: stabilisation of the vehicle/trailer combination is no longer active.
    • Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

Characteristics when ESP ^® is deactivated

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Characteristics when ESP ^® is deactivated - 1

WARNING Risk of skidding if ESPs deactivated

If you deactivate ESP, ESP cannot carry out vehicle stabilisation.

▶ ESP® should only be deactivated in the following situations.

When ESP ^ is deactivated, the OFF and ESP OFF spin warning lamps light up continuously in the instrument cluster.

Deactivating ESP® has the following effects:

  • Driving stability will no longer be improved.
    • The drive wheels could spin.
    • ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
  • Vehicles with trailer hitch: stabilisation of the vehicle/trailer combination is no longer active.
    • Crosswind Assist is no longer active.

Even when ESP is deactivated, you are still assisted by ESP when braking hard.

It may be best to activate ESPORT or deactivate ESP® in the following situations:

  • When using snow chains.
  • In deep snow.
  • On sand or gravel.
    i Spinning the wheels results in a cutting action, which enhances traction.

i Activate ESP® as soon as the situations described above no longer apply. ESPill otherwise not be able to stabilise the vehicle if the vehicle starts to skid or a wheel starts to spin.

If the ESP warning lamp lights up continuously even when ESP is activated, ESP is not available due to a malfunction.

Observe any information which is displayed in the instrument cluster:

• Indicator and warning lamps (→ page 417)
• Display messages (→ page 365)

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System)

ETS/4ETS traction control is part of ESP®.

ETS/4ETS can improve the vehicle's traction by intervening in the following ways:

  • The drive wheels are braked individually if they spin.
  • More drive torque is transferred to the wheel or wheels with traction.

Function of ESP® Crosswind Assist

ESP® Crosswind Assist detects sudden gusts of side wind and helps the driver to keep the vehicle in the lane:

  • ESP® Crosswind Assist is active at vehicle speeds between approx. 75 km/h and 200 km/h when driving straight ahead or cornering slightly.
  • The vehicle is stabilised by means of individual brake application on one side.

Function of ESP ^® trailer stabilisation

WARNING Risk of accident in poor road and weather conditions

In poor road and weather conditions, the trailer stabilisation cannot prevent lurching of the vehicle/trailer combination. Trailers with a high centre of gravity may tip over before ESP® detects this.

Always adapt your driving style to suit the current road and weather conditions.

When driving with a trailer, ESPan stabilise your vehicle if the trailer begins to swerve from side to side:

  • ESP® trailer stabilisation is active above speeds of 65 km/h.
  • Slight swerving is reduced by means of a targeted, individual brake application on one side.
  • In the event of severe swerving, the engine output is also reduced and all wheels are braked.

ESP ^® trailer stabilisation may be impaired or may not function if:

- The trailer is not connected correctly or is not detected properly by the vehicle.

Function of EBD

Electronic Breakforce Distribution (EBD) is characterised by the following:

• Monitoring and regulating the brake pressure on the rear wheels.
- Improved driving stability when braking, especially on bends.

Function of STEER CONTROL

STEER CONTROL helps you by transmitting a noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in the direction required for vehicle stabilisation.

This steering recommendation is given in the following situations:

  • both right wheels or both left wheels are on a wet or slippery road surface when you brake
    • the vehicle starts to skid

System limits

STEER CONTROL may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:

- ESP ^10 is deactivated.

  • ESP® is malfunctioning.
    • The steering is malfunctioning.
    If ESP® is malfunctioning, you will be assisted further by the electric power steering.

HOLD function

HOLD function

The HOLD function holds the vehicle at a standstill without requiring you to depress the brake pedal, e.g. while waiting in traffic.

The HOLD function is only an aid. The responsibility for the vehicle safely standing still remains with the driver.

System limits

The HOLD function is only intended to provide assistance when driving and is not a sufficient means of safeguarding the vehicle against rolling away when stationary.

• The incline must not be greater than 30%.

Activating/deactivating the HOLD function

WARNING Risk of an accident due to the HOLD function being active when you leave the vehicle

If the vehicle is only braked with the HOLD function it could, in the following situations, roll away:

  • If there is a malfunction in the system or in the power supply.
  • If the HOLD function is deactivated by depressing the accelerator pedal or brake pedal, e.g. by a vehicle occupant.
    Always secure the vehicle against rolling away before you leave it.

Requirements:

• The vehicle is stationary.
- The driver's door is closed or the seat belt the driver's side is fastened.
- The engine is running or has been automatically switched off by the ECO start/stop function.

• The electric parking brake is released.
• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated.
• The transmission is in position D, R or

Activating the HOLD function

  • The seat belt is unfastened and the driver's door is opened.
  • The vehicle is switched off.
  • There is a malfunction in the system or the power supply is insufficient.

Function of Hill Start Assist

Hill Start Assist holds the vehicle for a short time when pulling away on a hill under the following conditions:

• The transmission is in position D or R.
• The electric parking brake is released.

This gives you enough time to move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal and depress it before the vehicle begins to roll away.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Function of Hill Start Assist - 1

WARNING Risk of accident and injury due to the vehicle rolling away

After a short time, Hill Start Assist no longer holds the vehicle.

Swiftly move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal. Do not leave the vehicle when it is being held by Hill Start Assist.

Function of Adaptive Brake Lights

Adaptive Brake Lights warn following traffic in an emergency braking situation with the following actions:

  • By flashing the brake lamps
  • By activating the hazard warning lights

If the vehicle is braked sharply from speeds above 50 km/h, the brake lamps flash rapidly. This provides traffic travelling behind you with an even more noticeable warning.

If the vehicle is travelling at speeds of more than 70 km/h at the beginning of the brake application, the hazard warning lights switch on once

the vehicle is stationary. When you pull away again, the hazard warning lights will switch off automatically at approximately 10 km/h. You can also switch off the hazard warning lights using the hazard warning button.

ATTENTION ASSIST

Function of ATTENTION ASSIST

ATTENTION ASSIST assists you on long, monotonous journeys, e.g. on motorways and trunk roads. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration on the part of the driver, it suggests taking a break.

ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid. It cannot always detect fatigue or lapses in concentration in time. The system is not a substitute for a well-rested and attentive driver. On long journeys, take regular breaks in good time that allow for adequate recuperation.

You can choose between two settings:

• Standard: normal system sensitivity.

- Sensitive: higher system sensitivity. The driver is warned earlier and the attention level detected by ATTENTION ASSIST is adapted accordingly.

If drowsiness or increasing lapses in concentration are detected, the ATTENTION ASSIST: Take a break! warning appears in the Instrument Display. You can acknowledge the message and take a break where necessary. If you do not take a break and ATTENTION ASSIST continues to detect increasing lapses in concentration, you will be warned again after a minimum of 15 minutes.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Function of ATTENTION ASSIST - 1

text_image Attention Assist Last break 02:35 h ago

You can have the following status information for ATTENTION ASSIST displayed in the assistance menu of the on-board computer:

  • The length of the journey since the last break.
  • The attention level determined by ATTENTION ASSIST:

  • the fuller the circle, the higher the attentional level determined

  • as your attention wanes, the circle in the centre of the display becomes smaller

If ATTENTION ASSIST is unable to calculate the attention level and cannot issue a warning, the System suspended message appears.

If a warning is given in the Instrument Display, the multimedia system offers to search for a rest area. You can select a rest area and start navigation to this rest area. This function can be activated and deactivated in the multimedia system.

If ATTENTION ASSIST is deactivated, the symbol appears in the assistance graphic in the Instrument Display when the engine is running. ATTENTION ASSIST is activated automatically

when the engine is re-started. The last selected sensitivity level remains stored.

System limits

ATTENTION ASSIST is active in the 60 km/h to 200 km/h speed range.

Particularly in the following situations, ATTENTION ASSIST only functions in a restricted manner and warnings may be delayed or not occur:

  • If you have been driving for less than approximately 30 minutes.
  • If the road condition is poor (uneven road surface or potholes).
    • If there is a strong side wind.
  • If you adopt a sporty driving style (high cornering speeds or high rates of acceleration).
  • If the Steering Assist function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is active.
    • If the time has been set incorrectly.
  • If you change lanes and vary your speed frequently In active driving situations.

The ATTENTION ASSIST drowsiness or alertness assessment is reset and restarted when continuing the journey in the following situations:

• If you switch off the engine.
- If you unfasten your seat belt and open the driver's door (e.g. to change drivers or take a break).

Cruise control and limiter

Function of cruise control

Cruise control regulates the speed to the value selected by the driver.

If you accelerate to overtake, for example, the stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking, cruise control will resume speed regulation back to the stored speed.

You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the maximum design speed or up to the set winter tyre limit.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Displays on the multifunction display

  • (grey): cruise control is selected but not yet activated.
    • (green): cruise control is active.

A stored speed appears along with the ☑ display.

The segments extending from the current stored speed to the end of the scale, or to the set winter tyre limit, light up in the speedometer.

System limits

Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.

Change into a lower gear in good time on long and steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you will make use of the engine's braking effect. This relieves the load on the brake system and prevents the brakes from overheating and wearing too quickly.

Do not use cruise control in the following situations:

  • In traffic situations which require frequent changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on winding roads.
  • On slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid.
    • If you are driving when visibility is poor.

Function of the limiter

The limiter restricts the speed of the vehicle. To reduce the speed to the set speed, the limiter applies the brakes automatically.

You can limit the speed as follows:

  • Variable: for speed restrictions, e.g. in built-up areas.
  • Permanent: for long-term speed restrictions, e.g. when driving in winter tyre mode.

The variable limiter is operated using the corresponding steering wheel buttons. You can store any road speed from 20 km/h to 250 km/h or up to the set winter tyre limit. You can also perform settings while the vehicle is stationary if the vehicle has been started.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Displays on the multifunction display

  • LIM (grey): variable limiter is selected but not yet activated.
  • LIM (flashes grey): variable limiter is temporarily passive.

• LIM (green): variable limiter is activated.
A stored speed appears along with the display. The segments in the speedometer light up, up to the currently stored speed.
When the driving speed is greater than the stored speed, display LIM flashes.

Kickdown

If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown), the variable limiter switches to passive mode. The Limiter passive message appears in the multifunction display.

After completion of kickdown, the variable limiter is activated again in the following situations:

  • If the vehicle speed drops below the stored speed.
    • If the stored speed is called up.
    • If you store a new speed.

Operating cruise control or the variable limiter

→ Settings → Vehicle → Winter tyres limit

▶ Select a speed or deactivate the function.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC maintains the set speed on free-flowing roads. If vehicles in front are detected, the set distance is maintained, if necessary, until the vehicle comes to a halt. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on the distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed. The speed (in the range between 20 km/h and 210 km/h) and the distance to the vehicle in front are set and saved on the steering wheel.

Other features of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC:

  • Adjusts the driving style depending on the selected drive program (fuel-saving, comfortable or dynamic) ( page 162)
  • Reacts to stationary vehicles detected in urban speed ranges (except bicycles and motorcycles)
  • Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if the turn signal indicator is switched on to change to the overtaking lane
  • Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions into account on motorways or on multi-lane roads with separate carriageways (country-dependent)

If the vehicle has been braked to a standstill on multi-lane, separate carriageways by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, it can automatically follow the vehicle in front when driving off again within 30 seconds. If a critical situation is dated when driving off, a visual and acoustic warning is given indicating that the driver must now take control of the vehicle. The vehicle is not accelerated any further.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

System limits

The system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations, for example:

- In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light conditions.

  • The windscreen in the area of the camera is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered.
    • If the radar sensors are dirty or covered.
  • In multi-storey car parks or on roads with steep uphill or downhill gradients.
  • If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as bicycles or motorcycles.

In addition, on slippery roads, braking or accelerating can cause one or several wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid.

Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC in these situations.

WARNING Risk of accident from acceleration or braking by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may accelerate or brake in the following cases, for example:

- If the vehicle pulls away using Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC.

  • If the stored speed is called up and is considerably faster or slower than the currently driven speed.
  • If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no longer detects a vehicle in front or does not react to relevant objects.
    ▶ Always carefully observe the traffic conditions and be ready to brake at all times.
    Take into account the traffic situation before calling up the stored speed.

WARNING Risk of accident due to insufficient deceleration by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC brakes your vehicle with up to 50% of the possible deceleration. If this deceleration is not sufficient, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and acoustic warning.

Adjust your speed and maintain a suitable distance from the vehicle in front.

Brake the vehicle yourself and/or take evasive action.

A WARNING Risk of accident if detection function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is impaired

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC does not react or has a limited reaction:

  • when driving on a different lane or when changing lanes
  • to pedestrians, animals, bicycles or stationary vehicles, or unexpected obstacles
    • to complex traffic conditions
    • to oncoming vehicles and crossing traffic

As a result, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may neither give warnings nor intervene in such situations.

▶ Always observe the traffic conditions carefully and react accordingly.

To increase the specified distance: press the right rocker switch down (☐).

Function of Active Speed Limit Assist

If speed limit change between 20 km/h and 130 km/h is detected and the automatic adoption of speed limits is active, it will be automatically adopted as the stored speed ( page 209).

The driven speed is adjusted when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign at the latest. In the case of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the speed is adapted according to the speed permitted within the urban area. The speed limit display in the Instrument Display is always updated when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign.

If there is no speed restriction on an unlimited stretch of road (e.g. on a motorway), the recommended speed is automatically adopted as the stored speed. The system uses the speed stored on an unlimited stretch of road as the recommended speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on an unlimited stretch of road, the recommended speed is 130 km/h.

If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put into passive mode by pressing the accelerator pedal, only speed limits which are higher than the set speed are adopted.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

System limits

The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to the detection of traffic signs ( page 207).

Speed limits below 20 km/h are not automatically adopted by the system as the stored speed. Temporary speed restrictions (e.g. for a certain time or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly detected by the system. The maximum permissible speed applying to a vehicle with a trailer is not detected by the system.

Adjust the speed in these situations.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - System limits - 1

WARNING Risk of accident due to Active Speed Limit Assist adapting the vehicle's speed

The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit Assist may be too high or incorrect in some individual cases, such as:

• at speed limits below 20 km/h

• in wet conditions or in fog
- when towing a trailer
▶ Ensure that the driven speed complies with traffic regulations.
Adjust the driving speed to suit current traffic and weather conditions.

Function of route-based speed adaptation

When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activated, the vehicle speed will be adapted accordingly to the route events ahead. Depending on the drive program selected, the vehicle negotiates a route event ahead in an economical, comfortable or dynamic manner. When the route event has been passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle in front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restrictions ahead are taken into account.

You can activate and deactivate route-based speed adaptation in the multimedia system ( page 198).

The following route events are taken into account:

  • Bends
    • T-junctions, roundabouts and toll stations
  • Turns and exits
  • Traffic jams ahead (only with Live Traffic Information)

When the toll station is reached, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed as the stored speed.

Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indicator to change lanes is switched on and one of the following situations is detected:

  • Turning off at junctions
  • Driving on slowing-down lanes
  • Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down lanes

The driver is responsible for choosing the right speed and observing other road users. This applies in particular to junctions, roundabouts and traffic lights, as route-based speed adaptation does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.

When route guidance is active, the first speed adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn signal indicator is switched on, the selected route is confirmed and further speed adjustment is activated.

Speed adaptation is cancelled in the following cases:

  • If the turn signal indicator is switched off before the route event.
  • If the driver depresses the accelerator or brake pedal during the process.

System limits

Route-based speed adaptation does not take right of way regulations into account. The driver is responsible for complying with road traffic regulations and driving at a suitable speed. The speed adaptation made by the system may not always be suitable, particularly in the following situations:

• the road's course not clearly visible
- road narrowing
• varying maximum permissible speeds in individual lanes

  • wet road surfaces, snow or ice
  • when towing a trailer

In these situations the driver must intervene accordingly.

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident in spite of route-based speed adaptation

Route-based speed adaptation can malfunction or be temporarily unavailable in the following situations:

  • If the driver does not follow the calculated route
    • If map data is not up-to-date or available
    • In the event of roadworks
    • In bad weather or road conditions
    • If the accelerator pedal is depressed
  • In the event of electronically displayed speed limitations

Adapt the speed to the traffic situation.

Setting route-based speed adaptation

Requirements:

• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activated.
• ECO Assist is active.

Multimedia system:

Settings ▶ Assistance

▶ Route-based speed adapt.

Activate or deactivate the function. When the function is active, the vehicle speed is adjusted depending on the route events ahead.
i Further information on the route-based speed adaptation ( page 196).

Function of Active Traffic Jam Assist

Active Traffic Jam Assist helps you when in traffic jams on multi-lane roads with separate carriageways by automatically pulling away within 60 seconds and with moderate steering manoeuvres. It orients itself using the vehicle in front and lane markings. Active Traffic Jam Assist automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front and vehicles cutting in.

Active Traffic Jam Assist requires you, as the driver, to keep your hands on the steering wheel at all times so that you are able to intervene at any time to correct the course of the vehicle and keep it in lane. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Active Traffic Jam Assist activates automatically as soon as all of the requirements are met: The status display appears in the instrument cluster when the function is active.

Requirements:

  • You are in a traffic jam on a motorway or high-speed major road.
  • Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activated and active ( page 194).

Active Steering Assist

Function of Active Steering Assist

Active Steering Assist is only available up to a speed of 210 km/h. The system helps you to stay in the centre of the lane by means of moderate steering interventions. Depending on the speed driven, Active Steering Assist uses the vehicles ahead and lane markings as a reference.

Depending on the country, in the lower speed range Active Steering Assist can use the surrounding traffic as a reference. If necessary, Active Steering Assist can then also provide assistance when driving outside the centre of the lane, for example, to form a rescue lane.

If the detection of lane markings and vehicles ahead is impaired, Active Steering Assist switches to passive mode. The system provides no support in this case.

Status display of Active Steering Assist in the multifunction display

• (grey): activated and passive
• (green): activated and active
• (red): system limits detected
- [A] (white, red hands): "hands on the steering wheel" prompt

During the transition from active to passive status, the symbol is shown as enlarged and flashing. Once the system is passive, the symbol is shown as the multifunction display.

(i) Depending on the selected vehicle settings, Active Steering Assist may be unavailable.

Steering and touch detection

The driver is required to keep their hands on the steering wheel at all times and be able to intervene at any time to correct the course of the vehicle and keep it in lane. The driver must expect a change from active to passive mode or vice versa at any time.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Steering and touch detection - 1

natural_image Diagram of a car steering wheel with hands holding the head, no text or symbols present

If the system detects that the driver has not steered the vehicle for a considerable period of time or has removed their hands from the steering wheel, display ① appears. If the driver still does not steer the vehicle, a warning tone

sounds in addition to the visual warning message.

If the driver does not react to this warning for a considerable period, an emergency stop is initiated ( page 201).

The warning is not issued or is stopped when the driver gives confirmation to the system:

• The driver steers the vehicle.
- Depending on the country: the driver presses a steering wheel button or operates Touch Control

If Active Steering Assist detects that a system limit has been reached, a visual warning is issued and a warning tone sounds.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

System limits

Active Steering Assist has a limited steering torque for lateral guidance. In some cases, the steering intervention is not sufficient to keep the vehicle in the lane or to drive through exits.

The system may be impaired or may not function the system does not provide assistance in the following instances: following conditions:

  • There is poor visibility, e.g. due to snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, greatly varying light conditions or strong shadows on the carriageway.
  • There is glare, e.g. from oncoming traffic, direct sunlight or reflections.
    • Insufficient road illumination.
  • The windscreen is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered in the vicinity of the camera, e.g. by a sticker.
  • No, or several, unclear lane markings are present for one lane, or the markings change quickly, for example, in a construction area or junctions.
  • The lane markings are worn away, dark or covered up, e.g. by dirt or snow.
  • If the distance to the vehicle in front is too short and thus the lane markings cannot be detected.
    • The road is narrow and winding.
  • There are obstacles on the lane or projecting out into the lane, such as object markers.

  • On tight bends and when turning.

  • When crossing junctions.
  • At roundabouts or toll stations.
  • When towing a trailer.
  • When the tyre pressure is too low.

Active Brake Assist

Function of Active Brake Assist

Active Brake Assist consists of the following functions:

• Distance warning function
• Autonomous braking function
• Situation-dependent braking assistance
- Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: Evasive Steering Assist and cornering function

Active Brake Assist can help you to minimise the risk of a collision with vehicles, cyclists or pedestrians or to reduce the effects of such a collision.

If Active Brake Assist has detected a risk of collision, a warning tone sounds and the △ distance warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.

If you do not react to the warning, autonomous braking can be initiated in critical situations. In especially critical situations, Active Brake Assist can initiate autonomous braking directly.

In this case, the warning lamp and warning tone occur simultaneously with the braking application.

If you apply the brake yourself in a critical situation or apply the brake during autonomous braking, situation-dependent braking assistance occurs. The brake pressure increases up to maximum full-stop braking if necessary.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Function of Active Brake Assist - 1

If autonomous braking or situation-dependent braking assistance has occurred, display ①

appears in the multifunction display and then automatically goes out after a short time.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Function of Active Brake Assist - 2

WARNING Risk of an accident caused by limited detection performance of Active Brake Assist

Active Brake Assist cannot always clearly identify objects and complex traffic situations.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation; do not rely on Active Brake Assist alone. Active Brake Assist is only an aid. The driver is responsible for maintaining a sufficiently safe distance to the vehicle in front, vehicle speed and for braking in good time.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if necessary.

Also observe the system limits of Active Brake Assist.

The individual subfunctions are available in various speed ranges:

The distance warning function can issue a warning in the following situations:

  • From approximately 30 km/h, if over several seconds the distance maintained to the vehicle travelling in front is insufficient for the driven speed, the △ distance warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
  • From approximately 7 km/h, if your vehicle is critically close to a vehicle, cyclist or pedestrian, you will hear an intermittent warning tone and the distance warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.

Brake immediately or take evasive action, provided it is safe to do so and the traffic situation allows this.

Distance warning function (vehicles without Driving Assistance Package)

The distance warning function can aid you in the following situations with an intermittent warning tone and a warning lamp:

  • at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h when approaching vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when approaching stationary vehicles, pedestrians walking in the direction of travel and cyclists ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 60 km/h when approaching crossing pedestrians

Distance warning function (vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)

The distance warning function can aid you in the following situations with an intermittent warning tone and a warning lamp:

  • at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h when approaching vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 100 km/h when approaching stationary vehicles

  • at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when approaching moving pedestrians and cyclists ahead

  • at speeds up to approximately 70 km/h when approaching stationary pedestrians, crossing vehicles and stationary and crossing cyclists

Autonomous braking function (vehicles without Driving Assistance Package)

If the vehicle is travelling at speeds above approximately 7 km/h, the autonomous braking function may intervene in the following situations:

  • at speeds up to approximately 200 km/h when approaching vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when approaching cyclists ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 60 km/h when approaching stationary vehicles or moving pedestrians

Autonomous braking function (vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)

If the vehicle is travelling at speeds above approximately 7 km/h, the autonomous braking function may intervene in the following situations:

  • at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h when approaching vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 100 km/h when approaching stationary vehicles
  • at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when approaching cyclists ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 70 km/h when approaching stationary and moving pedestrians, crossing vehicles and stationary and crossing cyclists

Situation-dependent braking assistance (vehicles without Driving Assistance Package)

The situation-dependent braking assistance can intervene from a speed of approximately 7 km/h in the following situations:

  • at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h when approaching vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when approaching stationary vehicles and vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 60 km/h when approaching moving pedestrians

Situation-dependent braking assistance (vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)

The situation-dependent braking assistance can intervene from a speed of approximately 7 km/h in the following situations:

  • at speeds up to approximately 250 km/h when approaching vehicles ahead
  • at speeds up to approximately 100 km/h when approaching stationary vehicles

  • at speeds up to approximately 80 km/h when approaching cyclists ahead

  • at speeds up to approximately 60 km/h when approaching stationary and moving pedestrians, crossing vehicles and stationary and crossing cyclists

Cancelling a brake application of Active Brake Assist

You can cancel a brake application of Active Brake Assist at any time by:

  • sharply depressing the accelerator pedal or with kickdown
    • releasing the brake pedal

Active Brake Assist may cancel the brake application when one of the following conditions is fulfilled:

  • You manoeuvre to avoid the obstacle.
    • There is no longer a risk of collision.
  • An obstacle is no longer detected in front of your vehicle.

Evasive Steering Assist (only vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)

Evasive Steering Assist has the following characteristics:

  • The ability to detect stationary or moving pedestrians.
  • Assistance through power-assisted steering if it detects a swerving manoeuvre.
  • Activation by an abrupt steering movement during a swerving manoeuvre.
  • Assistance during swerving and straightening of the vehicle.
  • Reaction from a speed of approximately 20 km/h up to a speed of approximately 70 km/h.

You can prevent the assistance at any time by actively steering.

Cornering function (only vehicles with Driving Assistance Package)

If a danger of collision from an oncoming vehicle is detected when turning across an oncoming lane, autonomous braking can be initiated at

speeds below 15 km/h before you have left the lane in which you are driving.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Cornering function (only vehicles with Driving Assistance Package) - 1

WARNING Risk of accident despite Evasive Steering Assist

Evasive Steering Assist cannot always recognise objects or complex traffic situations clearly.

Moreover, the steering support provided by Evasive Steering Assist is not sufficient to avoid a collision.

▶ Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation; do not rely on Evasive Steering Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if necessary.
End the support by actively steering in non-critical situations.
▶ Drive at an appropriate speed if there are pedestrians close to the path of your vehicle.

System limits

Full system performance is not available for a few seconds after switching on the ignition or after driving off.

If Active Brake Assist is impaired or inoperative due to a malfunction, the warning lamp appears in the multifunction display.

The system may be impaired or may not function, particularly in the following situations:

  • In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light conditions.
  • If the sensors are dirty, misted up, damaged or covered.
  • If the sensors are impaired due to interference from other radar sources, e.g. strong radar reflections in multi-storey car parks.
  • If a loss of tyre pressure or a defective tyre has been detected and displayed.
  • In complex traffic situations where objects cannot always be clearly identified.
  • If pedestrians or vehicles move quickly into the sensor detection range.

• If pedestrians are hidden by other objects.
- If the typical outline of a pedestrian cannot be distinguished from the background.
- If a pedestrian is not detected as such, e.g. due to special clothing or other objects.
• If the driver's seat belt is not fastened.
- On bends with a tight radius.

The Active Brake Assist sensors adjust automatically while a certain distance is being driven after the vehicle has been delivered. Active Brake Assist is unavailable or only partially available during the teach-in process.

Speed Limit Assist

Function of Speed Limit Assist

Speed Limit Assist detects speed limits with multifunction camera and displays them in the instrument cluster and optionally in the head-up display. The camera also detects speed limits with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when wet). The system detects stop signs, thereby preventing the engine from being switched off by the ECO start/stop function.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Warning when the maximum permissible speed is exceeded

The system can warn you if you unintentionally exceed the maximum permissible speed. To do this, you can specify in the multimedia system by how much the maximum permissible speed can be exceeded before a warning is issued. You can specify whether the warning is to be just a visual warning or an acoustic one as well.

Traffic Sign Assist

Function of Traffic Sign Assist

Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with the multifunction camera ( page 178). It assists you by displaying detected speed limits and overtaking restrictions in the instrument cluster.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Since Traffic Sign Assist also uses the data stored in the navigation system, it can update the display in the following situations without detecting traffic signs.

If the system detects that you are driving onto a section of road in the wrong direction of travel, it triggers a warning.

The camera also detects traffic signs with a restriction indicated by an additional sign (e.g. when wet). These are only displayed if a restriction applies or if the system cannot clearly determine whether the restriction applies.

Warning when the maximum permissible speed is exceeded

The system can warn you if you unintentionally exceed the maximum permissible speed.

Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist with exit warning

Function of Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist with exit warning

Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors to monitor the area up to 40 m behind and 3 m next to your vehicle.

If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approximately 12 km/h and this vehicle subsequently enters the monitoring range directly next to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirror lights up red.

Permanent status display in the instrument cluster:

• (grey): system is activated but inoperative
- (green): system is activated and tional

If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle and you switch on the turn signal indicator in the corresponding direction, a double warning tone sounds and the red warning lamp in the outside mirror flashes. If the turn signal indicator remains switched on, all other detected vehicles are indicated only by the flashing of the red warning lamp.

If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is given.

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident despite Blind Spot Assist

Blind Spot Assist does not react to vehicles approaching and overtaking you at a greatly different speed.

Blind Spot Assist cannot warn drivers in this situation.

▶ Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and maintain a safe distance at the side of the vehicle.

opera- Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 178).

Exit warning

The exit warning is an additional function of Blind Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occupants about approaching vehicles when leaving the vehicle when stationary.

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident despite exit warning

The exit warning neither reacts to stationary objects nor to vehicles approaching you at a greatly differing speed.

The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these situations.

▶ Always pay particular attention to the traffic situation when opening the doors and make sure there is sufficient clearance.

If there is a vehicle in the monitoring range, this is indicated in the outside mirror. If a vehicle occupant opens the door on the side with the warning, a warning tone sounds and the warning lamp in the outside mirror starts to flash.

This additional function is only available when Blind Spot Assist is active. When the exit warning is activated, it can warn vehicle occupants for up to three minutes after switching the igni-

tion off. The exit warning is no longer available once the warning lamp in the outside mirror flashes three times.

The exit warning is only an aid and not a substitute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The responsibility for opening and closing the doors and for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehicle occupants.

System limits

Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may be limited in the following situations, in particular:

  • if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured
  • in poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or snow
  • if there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or motorbikes
    • if the road has very wide or narrow lanes
  • if vehicles are not driving in the middle of their lane

Warnings may be issued in error when driving close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane borders. Always make sure that there is sufficient distance to the side for other traffic or obstacles.

Warnings may be interrupted when driving alongside long vehicles, for example lorries, for a prolonged time.

Blind Spot Assist is not operational when reverse gear is engaged.

Blind Spot Assist and the exit warning are not operational when a trailer is coupled to the vehicle and the electrical connection has been correctly established.

The exit warning may be limited in the following situations:

  • when the sensors are covered by adjacent vehicles in narrow parking spaces
  • when people approach the vehicle
  • in the event of stationary or slowly moving objects

Function of brake application (Active Blind Spot Assist)

If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side impact in the monitoring range, a course-correcting brake application is carried out. This is designed to help you avoid a collision.

The course-correcting brake application is available in the speed range between approximately 30 km/h and 200 km/h.

WARNING Risk of accident despite brake application of Active Blind Spot Assist

A course-correcting brake application cannot always prevent a collision.

Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns you or makes a course-correcting brake application.
Always maintain a safe distance at the sides.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - WARNING Risk of accident despite brake application of Active Blind Spot Assist - 1

natural_image Top-down view of two cars with a circular icon labeled '1' and a play button (no text or symbols on the cars themselves)

If a course-correcting brake application occurs, the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mirror and a warning tone sounds. In addition, a display ① indicating the danger of a side collision appears in the multifunction display. In rare cases, the system may make an inappropriate brake application. This brake application may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly in the opposite direction or accelerate.

Active Lane Keeping Assist

Function of Active Lane Keeping Assist

Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the area in front of your vehicle by means of the multifunction camera ( page 178). It serves to protect you against unintentionally leaving your lane. You will be warned by vibration pulses in the steering wheel and guided by a course-correcting brake application back into your lane.

Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the speed range between 60 km/h and 200 km/h.

Active Lane Keeping Assist can neither reduce the risk of an accident if you fail to adapt your driving style nor override the laws of physics. It cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions. Active Lane Keeping Assist is only an aid. You are responsible for maintaining a safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time and for staying in lane.

The status of Active Lane Keeping Assist is displayed in the on-board computer:

  • // (green): Active Lane Keeping Assist is active and operating.
  • // (grey): Active Lane Keeping Assist is active but not operating.
    • ☐: Active Lane Keeping Assist is deactivated or there is a malfunction.

Example: vehicles with 360° Camera

When rear segments ① or all-round segments ② light up red and the _avg^Off symbol appears in the multifunction display, Parking Assist

PARKTRONIC may have been deactivated due to signal interference. Start the vehicle again and check if Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is working at a different location.

If a warning tone also sounds for approximately two seconds every time the vehicle is started, it may be due to one of the following causes:

  • The sensors are dirty: clean the sensors and observe the notes on care of vehicle parts (→ page 310).
  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC has been deactivated due to a malfunction: restart the vehicle. If the problem persists, consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Function of the passive side impact protection

Passive side impact protection is an additional Parking Assist PARKTRONIC function which warns the driver about obstacles at the side of the vehicle. A warning is issued when obstacles are detected between the front and rear detec-

tion range. In order for an object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear bumper must first detect the object while you are driving past it.

During the parking procedure or manoeuvring, objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued and the segments light up in colour in the display.

The segment colour changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:

• Yellow: approximately 30 - 60 cm
• Red: less than approximately 30 cm

In order for lateral front or rear segments to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance of at least half of the vehicle length. Once the vehicle has travelled the length of the vehicle, all of the lateral front and rear segments can be displayed.

Active Parking Assist

Function of Active Parking Assist

Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking assistance system, which uses ultrasound with the assistance of the reversing camera and 360° Camera. When you are driving forwards up to approximately 35 km/h, the system automatically measures parking spaces on both sides the vehicle.

As soon as all requirements are met for searching for parking spaces, the □ display appears in the multifunction display.

When Active Parking Assist has detected parking spaces, the ◀P ▶ display appears in the multifunction display. The arrows show on which side

of the road detected parking spaces are located. They are then shown in the media display.

The parking space can be selected as desired. Depending on the location of the parking space, the parking direction (rearwards or forwards). can also be selected as desired.

When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn signal indicators are activated based on the calculated path of your vehicle.

When you are entering or exiting a parking space, the procedure is assisted by acceleration, braking, steering and gear changes.

Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that no persons, animals or objects etc. are in the manoeuvring range.

Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the following situations:

  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated.
  • You begin steering.
  • You apply the parking brake.

• You engage transmission position P.
- ESP® intervenes.
- You open the doors or the boot lid while driving.

System limits

If the exterior lighting is malfunctioning, Active Parking Assist is not available.

Objects located above or below the detection range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads, overhangs or loading ramps of goods vehicles, or the borders of parking spaces, are not detected during measurement of the parking space. These are also then not taken into account when calculating the parking procedure. In some circumstances, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into the parking space incorrectly.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - System limits - 1

WARNING Risk of accident due to objects located above or below the detection range of Active Parking Assist

If there are objects above or below the detection range, the following situations may arise:

• Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
- The vehicle may not stop in front of these objects.

This could cause a collision.

In these situations, do not use Active Parking Assist.

Extreme weather conditions, such as snow or heavy rain, may lead to a parking space being measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be identified as such or be measured incorr. Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip ground.

Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following situations:

  • In extreme weather conditions such as ice, packed snow or in heavy rain.
  • When transporting a load that protrudes beyond the vehicle.
  • On steep uphill or downhill gradients of more than approximately 15%.
  • When snow chains are fitted.
  • When a trailer or bicycle rack is attached.
  • Directly after a tyre change or when spare tyres are fitted.
    • If the tyre pressure is too low or too high.
  • If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g. after bottoming out on a kerb.

text_image Diagram of a car's rearview and side profile with labeled parts, showing mechanical components and a highlighted section.

Trailer hitch (example with additional guide pin)

Depending on the bicycle rack's design, different numbers of bicycles can be transported.

The following bicycle rack designs are possible:

- When mounted by attaching to ball head Ⓤ, the maximum load capacity is 75 kg. Up to three bicycles can be transported.

- When mounted on ball head ① and guide pin ②, the maximum load capacity is 100 kg. Up to four bicycles can be transported.

The load capacity is calculated from the weight of the bicycle rack and the bicycle rack load.

The vehicle's driving characteristics will change when a bicycle rack is fitted. Adapt your driving style accordingly. Drive carefully and maintain a safe distance.

When using a bicycle rack, set the tyre pressure for increased load on the rear axle of the vehicle. Further information on the tyre pressure can be found in the tyre pressure table ( page 337).

Notes on loading

The larger the distance between the load's centre of gravity and the ball head, the greater the load on the trailer hitch.

Observe the following notes:

- Mount heavy bicycles as close to the vehicle as possible.

- Always distribute the load on the bicycle rack as evenly as possible across the vehicle's longitudinal axis.

Mercedes-Benz recommends removing all detachable parts from bicycles (e.g. baskets, child seats, rechargeable batteries) before loading them onto the bicycle rack. This will improve the aerodynamic resistance and centre of gravity of the bicycle rack.

Always secure the bicycles to prevent them from moving around and check them at regular intervals to ensure that they are secure.

Do not use tarpaulins or other covers. The driving characteristics and rear view may be impaired. In addition, aerodynamic resistance and the load on the trailer hitch will increase.

Information on profiles, themes, suggestions and favourites

For electrically adjustable seats observe the following notes.

WARNING Risk of becoming trapped during adjustment of the driver's seat after calling up a driver profile

Selecting a user profile may trigger an adjustment of the driver's seat to the position saved under the user profile. You or other vehicle occupants could be injured in the process.

Make sure that when the position of driver's seat is being adjusted using the multimedia system, no people or body parts are in the seat's range of movement.

If there is a risk of someone becoming trapped, stop the adjustment process immediately:

a) Tap the warning message on the media display.

or

b) Press a memory position button or a seat adjustment switch on the driver's door. The adjustment process will be stopped.

The driver's seat is equipped with an access point venter.

If the driver's door is open, the driver's seat will not be set after calling up the driver's profile.

Profiles store your vehicle settings and settings for the multimedia system. If the vehicle is used by several drivers, the driver can select their own profile without changing the stored profile settings of other drivers.

Information on profiles from Mercedes me connect can be found in the Digital Operator's Manual.

Vehicle settings are, for example, driver's seat, steering wheel and mirror settings, climate control and ambient lighting. For the settings of the multimedia system, you can select, for example,

radio stations, previous destinations as well as themes, suggestions and favourites.

For recurring driving situations, such as long drives on the motorway, you can save your preferred settings in a theme in the vehicle. In a theme you can save the display of the digital map, your preferred radio station and preferred drive program, for example.

The vehicle can learn the habits of the driver. It then offers suggestions for the most probable navigation destinations, media sources, radio stations or contacts. The pre-requirements for that are the selection of a profile, your consent to the recording of data and sufficient collected data.

Favourites provide quick access to applications that are used often. You can select favourites from categories or add them directly to an application.

Mercedes-Benz emergency call system

Information on available emergency call systems

Two types of emergency call system are available to you in the vehicle:

• Mercedes-Benz emergency call system
• 112 emergency call system (EU eCall)

The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is not available in all countries. You can find more information on the regional availability of eCall at: https://www.mercedes-benz-mobile.com/extra/ecall/

The following applies for both emergency call systems:

  • The transfer of specific data is required for the intended function of both emergency call systems. This will be explained in the "Data transfer" section ( page 287).
  • Both emergency call systems are included as standard equipment in your vehicle and are activated at the factory.
  • The use of both emergency call systems is exempt from charges.
  • Both emergency call systems only function in areas in which the mobile phone network providers offer mobile phone coverage.

For both systems, insufficient network coverage from the mobile phone network providers can result in an emergency call not being transmitted.

Differences between the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system and 112 emergency call system (EU eCall)

Mercedes-Benz emergency call system112 emergency call system (EU eCall)
The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is permanently logged in to the mobile phone network.Automatic and manual Mercedes-Benz emergency calls are transmitted to a Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre.In the event that the emergency call centre of the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system cannot be reached (e.g. due to a lack of network coverage), the 112 emergency call is carried out automatically.If you decide to use the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall), then the system only logs in to the mobile phone network after the triggering of a manual or automatic emergency call.The 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) transmits automatic and manual emergency calls directly to public coordination centres.

The 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) in your vehicle meets the delegated regulation EU 2017/79. Proper and full functionality of the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) depends on circumstances beyond the influence of Mercedes-Benz AG. This includes mobile network coverage and the technical infrastructure of the public reception centres in the respective countries.
Please observe that in the event of a repair genuine Mercedes-Benz batteries must be used which have been certified pursuant to the delegated regulation EU 2017/79

(Appendix I). Other manufacturers are also permitted provided their batteries are certified according to the delegated regulation EU 2017/79.

There is the option of deactivating the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system and using only the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall). Contact address for carrying out deactivation of the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system are the local dealers.

Mercedes-Benz recommends the activation of the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system for the following reasons:

  • In emergency situations when abroad, you can also get support in a language you speak.
  • Several transmission technologies are used to accelerate the transfer of the accident data and improve reliability of the transmission.
  • The Mercedes-Benz emergency call system is permanently logged in to the mobile phone

network, which ensures faster placement of the emergency call and faster transfer of accident data.

Measures for rescue, recovery or towing away can then be initiated in quickly.

- With a Mercedes-Benz emergency call, the accident data is only transferred to the public coordination centre with the approval of the customer.

In the event of an automatically triggered emergency call in which there is no voice contact, the accident data is transmitted immediately to the public emergency call centre.

- Should the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre not be available, the 112 emergency call is carried out automatically.

Overview of emergency call systems

Both the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system as well as the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) can help to reduce the time between an accident and the arrival of emergency services

at the site of the accident. They help locate an the accident site in places that are difficult to access.

Both emergency call systems can initiate an emergency call automatically ( page 286) or manually.

Only make emergency calls if you or others are in need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in the event of a breakdown or a similar situation.

Messages on the display

The following messages appear in the display of both emergency call systems:

- SOS NOT READY: the ignition is not on or R eCall is not available. This does not necessarily indicate complete failure of the emergency call system. Emergency calls call still be transmitted.

The display only refers to the vehicle and does not take account of the availability of mobile phone networks and the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre.

The functional readiness of the emergency call system on the vehicle can be seen when the SOS NOT READY display disappears once the ignition is switched on.

- SOS: The icon appears in the display during an active emergency call.

Make sure there are no vibrations, noises or unusual handling characteristics when the vehicle is in motion. This may indicate that the wheels or tyres are damaged. Hidden tyre damage could also be causing the unusual handling characteristics.

If you suspect that a tyre is defective, reduce your speed immediately and have the tyres and wheels checked at a qualified specialist workshop.

Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres

WARNING Risk of injury due to damaged tyres

Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.

▶ Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.

WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to insufficient tyre tread

Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip.

The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet roads, especially when the speed of the vehicle is not adapted to suit the conditions.

Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tyres.

Minimum tread depth for:

- Summer tyres: 3 mm

- M+S tyres: 4 mm

For safety reasons, replace the tyres before the legally-prescribed limit for the minimum tread depth is reached.

Carry out the following checks on all wheels regularly, at least once a month or as required, for example, prior to a long journey or driving off-road:

- Check the tyre pressure (→ page 336).

- Visually inspect wheels and tyres for damage.

- Check the valve caps.

- Visual check of the tyre tread depth and the tyre contact surface across the entire width. The minimum tread depth for summer tyres is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.

Notes on snow chains

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect snow chain fitting

If you have fitted snow chains to the front wheels, the snow chains may drag against the vehicle body or chassis components.

This could cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.

▶ Never fit snow chains on the front wheels.
Only fit snow chains on the rear wheels in pairs.

! NOTE Damage to the wheel trim from fitted snow chains

If snow chains are fitted to steel wheels, the wheel trims can be damaged.

Remove the wheel trims of steel wheels before fitting snow chains.

Observe the following notes when using snow chains:

  • Snow chains are only permissible for certain wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain information about this from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
  • For safety reasons, only use snow chains that have been specifically approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or snow chains with the same quality standard.

  • If snow chains are fitted, the maximum permissible speed is 50 km/h.

  • Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: do not use Active Parking Assist when snow chains are fitted.
    You can permanently limit the maximum vehicle speed for driving with winter tyres ( page 191).
    You can deactivate ESP to pull away ( page 184). This allows the wheels to spin, achieving an increased driving force.

Tyre pressure

Notes on tyre pressure

WARNING Risk of accident due to insufficient or excessive tyre pressure

Tyres with either too low or too high a pressure present the following hazards:

• the tyres could burst

  • the tyres could wear excessively and/or unevenly
  • the driving characteristics as well as steering and braking characteristics may be severely impaired
    Observe the recommended tyre pressures and check the tyre pressures of all tyres including the spare wheel:
  • monthly
    • if altering the load on the vehicle
    • prior to long journeys
  • if the operating conditions change, for example when driving off-road
    Adjust the tyre pressure where necessary.

Tyre pressure which is too high or too low can:

  • Shorten the service life of the tyres.
  • Cause increased tyre damage.
  • Adversely affect driving characteristics and thus driving safety, e.g. due to aquaplaning.

WARNING Risk of accident due to repeated pressure drop in the tyres

The wheels, valves or tyres could be damaged.

Too low a tyre pressure can lead to the tyres bursting.

Examine the tyres for foreign objects.
▶ Check whether the tyre has a puncture or the valve has a leak.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Information on the recommended tyre pressure for the vehicle's factory-fitted tyres can be found on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap ( page 337).

Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pressure.

Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. Conditions for cold tyres:

  • The vehicle has been parked with the tyres out of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
    • The vehicle has travelled less than 1.6 km.

The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the temperature of the tyres increases, so too does the tyre pressure.

Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring systems: you can also see the tyre pressure in the driver's display.

Notes on trailer operation

Always inflate the rear axle tyres to the recommended tyre pressures on the tyre pressure table for increased load.

Tyre pressure table

The tyre pressure table is on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Tyre pressure table - 1

If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pressure, the following tyre pressure information is only valid for those tyre sizes and their respective load condition.

If the preceding tyre sizes are complemented by the [1] symbol, the tyre pressure information following shows alternative tyre pressures. Fuel consumption may then increase slightly.

The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the table for different numbers of passengers and amounts of luggage. Actual number of seats may differ from this.

Tyre pressure monitoring system

Function of the tyre pressure monitoring system

The system checks the tyre pressure and the tyre temperature of the tyres fitted to the vehicle by means of a tyre pressure sensor.

The tyre pressure and the tyre temperature appear in the on-board computer ( page 33

If there is a substantial pressure loss or if the tyre temperature is excessive, you will be warned in the following ways:

• via display messages ( page 412).
- via the ⏻ warning lamp in the instrument cluster (→ page 432)

The tyre pressure monitoring system is only an aid. It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre

pressure to the recommended cold tyre pressure suitable for the operating situation.

^h in most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring tem will automatically update the new reference values after you have changed the tyre pressure. You can, however, also update the reference values by restarting the tyre pressure monitoring system manually ( page 432).

System limits

The system may be impaired or may not function particularly in the following situations:

  • the tyre pressure has been set incorrectly sudden pressure loss caused by a foreign object penetrating the tyre, for example
  • there is a malfunction caused by another radio signal source

Checking the tyre pressure with the tyre pressure monitoring system

Requirements:

• The ignition is switched on.

On-board computer:

  • Tyre pressures will be displayed after a few minutes of driving
  • Tyre pressure monitor active: the teach-in process of the system is not yet complete. The tyre pressures are already being monitored.

Compare the tyre pressure with the recommended tyre pressure for the current operat-

ing condition ( page 337). Observe the notes on tyre temperature ( page 336).

The values displayed in the on-board computer may deviate from those of the tyre pressure gauge as they refer to sea level. At high elevations, the tyre pressure values indicated by a pressure gauge are higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not reduce the tyre pressure.

Restarting the tyre pressure monitoring system

Requirements:

- The recommended tyre pressure is correctly set for the respective operating status on all of the wheels ( page 336).

Restart the tyre pressure monitoring system in the following situations:

• The tyre pressure has changed.
- The wheels or tyres have been changed or newly fitted.

On-board computer:

WARNING Risk of injury through exceeding the specified tyre load-bearing capacity or the permissible speed rating

Exceeding the load-bearing capacity of the tyres can lead to tyre damage and could cause the tyres to explode.

Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes approved for your vehicle model.
▶ Observe the tyre load-bearing capacity rating and speed rating required for your vehicle.
NOTE Vehicle and tyre damage through tyre types and sizes that have not been approved

For safety reasons, only use tyres, wheels and accessories which have been specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.

These tyres are specially adapted to the control systems, such as ABS, E and 4MATIC, and marked as follows:

• MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
• MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended (run-flat tyres only for certain wheels)
- MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only certain AMG tyres)

Certain characteristics, such as handling, vehicle noise emissions, consumption, etc. may otherwise be adversely affected. Furthermore, other tyre sizes could result in the tyres rubbing against the body and axle components when loaded. This could result in damage to the tyre or the vehicle.

Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that have been checked and recommended by Mercedes-Benz.

NOTE Risk to driving safety from retrea- ded tyres

Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous damage cannot always be detected on retreaded tyres.

For this reason driving safety cannot be guaranteed.

Do not use used tyres if you have no information about their previous usage.

NOTE Possible damage to wheels or tyres when driving over obstacles

Large wheels have a lower tyre section width. The lower the tyre section width, the greater is the risk of damage to wheels or tyres when driving over obstacles.

Avoid obstacles or drive particularly carefully.

! NOTE Possible wheel and tyre damage when parking on kerbs or in potholes

Parking on kerbs or in potholes may damage the wheels and tyres.

If possible, park only on flat surfaces.

Avoid kerbs and potholes when parking.

! NOTE Damage to electronic component parts from the use of tyre-fitting tools

Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system: electronic component parts are located in the wheel. Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve.

The tools could damage the electronic component parts.

Have the tyres changed at a qualified specialist workshop only.

NOTE Damage to summer tyres at low ambient temperatures

At low ambient temperatures, tears could form when driving with summer tyres, causing permanent damage to the tyre.

At temperatures below 7 °C, use M+S tyres.

Accessory parts that are not approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being used correctly can impair the operating safety.

Before purchasing and using non-approved accessories, visit a qualified specialist workshop and enquire about:

- Suitability

- Legal stipulations

• Factory recommendations

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident with high performance tyres

There is an increased risk of skidding and aquaplaning when using sport tyres on wet roads.

In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at a low outside temperature and tyre running temperature.

Activate ESP® and adapt your driving style accordingly.

Use M+S tyres at outside temperatures below 10 °C.

Only use the tyres for their intended purpose.

Observe the following when selecting, fitting and replacing tyres:

  • Country-specific requirements for tyre approval that define a specific tyre type for your vehicle.
  • Furthermore, the use of certain tyre types in certain regions and areas of operation can be highly beneficial.
  • Only use tyres and wheels of the same type (summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended tyres) and the same make.
  • Only fit wheels of the same size on one ax (left and right).

It is only permissible to fit a different wheel size in the event of a flat tyre in order to drive to the specialist workshop.

  • Do not make any modifications to the brake system, the wheels or the tyres. The use of shims or brake dust shields is not permitted and may invalidate the vehicle's general operating permit.
  • Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system: all fitted wheels must be equipped with functioning sensors for the tyre pressure monitoring system.
  • At temperatures below 7^ C use winter tyres or all-season tyres marked M+S for all wheels.

Winter tyres bearing the snowflake symbol in addition to the M+S marking provide the best possible grip in wintry road conditions.

  • For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same act a qualified specialist workshop.
    tread. Be sure to also observe the following further
  • Observe the maximum permissible speed for related subjects: the M+S tyres fitted.
  • Notes on tyre pressure (→ page 336)
    Be sure to also observe the following further
    • Notes on tyre pressure (→ page 336)

If the tyre's maximum speed is below that of the vehicle, this must be indicated by an appropriate label in the driver's field of vision.

  • Run in new tyres at moderate speeds for the first 100 km.
  • Replace the tyres after six years at the latest, regardless of wear.
  • When replacing with tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics: vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. Equip the vehicle with a TIREFIT kit after replacing with tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. winter tyres.

You can permanently limit the maximum vehicle speed for driving with winter tyres ( page 191).

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Notes on selecting, fitting and replacing tyres - 3

WARNING Risk of accident caused by non-approved tyre types

If you use tyre types that have not been adapted to changes made to the factory speed limit, this can have the following consequences:

  • The tyres are not suitable for high speeds and the corresponding driving dynamics.
  • The tyres wear unevenly and affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle.
  • ABS, ESP® and cruise control operation are restricted.

This can jeopardise road safety.

Only use tyre types that have been approved for the maximum permissible speed set and the vehicle.

Notes on interchanging wheels

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Notes on interchanging wheels - 1

WARNING Risk of injury through different wheel sizes

Interchanging the front and rear wheels can severely impair the driving characteristics.

The disk brakes or wheel suspension components may also be damaged.

Only interchange the front and rear wheels if the wheels and tyres have the same dimensions.

Interchanging the front and rear wheels if the wheels or tyres have different dimensions can render the general operating permit invalid.

The wear patterns on the front and rear wheels differ:

  • front wheels wear more on the tyre shoulder
  • rear wheels wear more in the centre of the tyre

Do not drive with tyres that have too little tread depth. This significantly reduces traction on wet roads (aquaplaning).

On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel size, you can interchange the wheels every 5000 to 10,000 km, depending on the wear. Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for the wheels.

Observe the instructions and safety notes on "Changing a wheel" when doing so ( page 343).

Fuel

Notes on fuel grade

Observe the notes on operating fluids ( page 354).

NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel

Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.

Only refuel using unleaded, sulphur-free petrol that conforms to European EN 228, or an equivalent specification.

Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10% ethanol by volume. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.

Never refuel with one of the following fuels:

  • diesel
    • regular petrol with an octane number lower than 91 RON
  • petrol with more than 10% ethanol by volume, e.g. E15, E20, E85, E100
  • petrol with more than 3% methanol by volume, e.g. M15, M30
    • petrol with additives containing metal

If you have accidentally refuelled with the wrong fuel:

do not switch the ignition on.
consult a qualified specialist workshop.

The following compatibility indications for fuel apply to your vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel - 1

text_image ① E5 ② E10

① For petrol with maximum 5% ethanol by volume
② For petrol with maximum 10% ethanol by volume

According to European standard EN 16942 you can find the compatibility indications at the following locations:

  • on the vehicle on the information label in the fuel filler flap
  • on the fuel pump or pump nozzle suitable your vehicle throughout Europe

If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sulphur, this can produce unpleasant odours.

The recommended octane number for your vehicle can also be found on the information label in the fuel filler flap ( page 169).

Only refuel using super unleaded petrol with at least 98 RON if you wish to achieve maximum engine output. Alternatively, you can also refuel using premium-grade unleaded petrol with at least 95 RON.

In exceptional cases, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use regular unleaded petrol with an octane number of at least 91 RON.

This may reduce engine output and increase consumption.

Never refuel using petrol with an even lower RON.

Further information on fuel can be obtained at a filling station or a qualified specialist workshop.

Information on additives in petrol

^† Observe the notes on operating fluids ( page 354).

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT (2020) - Information on additives in petrol - 1

NOTE Damage from use of unsuitable additives

Even small amounts of the wrong additive may lead to malfunctions occurring.

Only add cleaning additives recommended by Mercedes-Benz to the fuel.

Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use brand-name fuels with additives.

In some countries, the fuel available may not have sufficient additives. Residue could build up in the fuel injection system as a result. In this

case, in consultation with a Mercedes-Benz service centre, mix the fuel with the cleaning additive recommended by Mercedes-Benz.

Observe the notes and mixing ratios indicated on the tank.
