When you switch on the multimedia system or after selecting 📄, the digital map is shown in the zero layer.

The navigation system offers many options for destination entry, route planning and route guidance. The traffic situation is taken into account during route guidance. When using route guidance with augmented reality, additional information can be shown in a camera image before a turning manoeuvre. Services and apps help you reach the destination quickly, safely and in comfort.

Start entering the destination via ② on the digital map. You can enter the POI, address or contact as the destination on-board or search online using a map service. Or you select a previous destination. The destination can be stored here as a favourite or be saved as an address for home and work. When the Allow destination suggestions option is switched on, the vehicle makes suggestions based on your visited navigation destinations. If external destinations and routes are received from apps or services, these are also available.

The following options are available for route planning, for example:

- Route options

e.g. avoid or use toll roads, tunnels, unpaved roads or areas

• Intermediate destinations
• Alternative routes
- Commuter route
• Automatic filling station and service station search

You can record and save routes then select or share them with a USB device.

Lane recommendations are shown during route guidance on multi-lane roads. When driving on a motorway, service facilities on the route ahead can be shown and used for route guidance.

The Live Traffic Information service takes the current traffic situation into account. The map can show the current traffic flow, traffic incidents or warning messages, e.g. before the end of traffic jams that pose a risk.

Hazardous situations on public roads are detected automatically by the vehicle via Car-to-X-Communication or these can be reported by the driver. The early warning makes it possible to adapt your driving characteristics in good time. Accidents,

broken-down vehicles, weather hazards or a vehicle with activated hazard warning lights are shown on the map.

For route guidance with augmented reality, information objects such as arrows indicating a turn, street names and house numbers are shown in a video image during the driving manoeuvre or at traffic lights.

The map shows map data from the database or from an online map service. In small map scales, buildings are shown as realistic images. The online map update service makes possible the updating of the map data.

Weather information and data from other services can be shown on the map. Multi-storey car parks with the corresponding equipment, deliver data about the current occupancy and about parking charges, for example.

The options offered vary depending on the country, vehicle equipment and available services.

Mercedes-Benz AG acts to the best of its knowledge to prevent these SVHCs from being used and to enable customers to safely handle these substances. There are SVHCs known to Mercedes-Benz AG, according to supplier information and internal product information, found in individual components of this vehicle in quantities of over 0.1 percent by weight.

Further information can be obtained at the following addresses:

  • https://reach.daimler.com/de/home/
  • https://reach.daimler.com/en/home/

Notes for persons with electronic medical aids

Mercedes-Benz AG cannot, despite carefully developing vehicle systems, completely rule out

the interaction of vehicle systems with electronic medical aids such as cardiac pacemakers.

In addition, there are components installed in the vehicle that, regardless of the operating status of the vehicle, can generate magnetic fields on a par with permanent magnets. These fields can be found, for example, in the area around the multi-media and sound system or also in the area of the seats, depending on the vehicle equipment.

For this reason, the following can occur in isolated cases, depending on the aids used:

• Medical aids malfunctioning
- Adverse health effects

Observe the notes and warnings of the manufacturer of the medical aids; if in doubt, contact the device manufacturer and/or your doctor. If there is continuing uncertainty concerning the possibility of medical aids malfunctioning, Mercedes-Benz AG recommends using only few electrical vehicle systems and/or maintaining a distance from the components.

Plug-in hybrid

When charging the high-voltage battery, keep a distance of at least an arm's length between the medical aid and the following components:

  • the power supply equipment This includes charging stations in the form of a wallbox or a public charging point, for example.
  • vehicle components carrying live voltage This includes the charging cable and the charging control box, for example.

Only have repairs and maintenance work in the area of the following components carried out at a qualified specialist workshop:

• vehicle components carrying live voltage
- transmission aerials
• multimedia system and sound system

If you have any queries or suggestions, consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Implied warranty

Data storage

Data processing in the vehicle

Electronic control units

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

The following provides you with general information regarding data processing in the vehicle. Additional information regarding 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 Owner's Manual. This information is available online and digitally, depending on the vehicle's equipment.

Personal data

A unique vehicle identification number identifies every vehicle. Depending on the country, this vehicle identification number can be used by, forexample, governmental authorities to determine the owner's identity. There are other possibilities for using 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, forexample, your driving behaviour, location, route or 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. Forexample, this may be the case during the investigation of a criminal offence. Governmental entities are themselves authorised to read out data from the vehicle in individual cases and within the applicable legal framework. In the case of an accident, information that can help with an investigation can be taken from the airbag control unit, forexample.

Operational data in the vehicle

This is data regarding the vehicle's operation, which control units have processed.

This includes the following data, forexample:

  • 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, these are volatile data and will not be stored beyond the period of operation but will only be processed within the vehicle itself. Control units, forexample, vehicle keys, often contain data memories. 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 technical 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 an airbag deployment or the intervention of stability control systems
  • information on events leading to vehicle damage

In certain cases, storing data that would have otherwise been temporary may be required. This may be the case if the vehicle has detected a malfunction, forexample.

If you use services such as repair services and maintenance work, stored operational data and the vehicle identification number can be read out and used. Service network employees can read them out, 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 readout is performed via the legally prescribed port for the diagnostics connection in the vehicle. The operational data that are read out technical document states of the vehicle or of individual components and assist in diagnosing malfunctions, compliance with warranty obligations and quality improvement. To that end, these data, particularly 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 data from the vehicle, forexample, 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 the vehicle's convenience settings and individual settings and change or reset them at any time.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, this includes the following settings, forexample:

Brief overview of most important points

Basic information

Make sure that the following prerequisites in particular have been met so that the components of the restraint system are able to provide the intended level of protection:

  • Sit correctly (→ page 108).
  • Fasten the seat belt correctly (→ page 109).
    Function of the 4 seat belt warning lamp ( page 111).
    Function of the rear seat belt status display ( page 111).

- The restraint system warning lamp is not lit up after the self-test ( page 110).

- The PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display the correct status of the front passenger airbag ( page 112).

For clear understanding

The chapter "Occupant safety" includes information on equipment, functions and behaviours that contribute directly to safety of vehicle occupants.

The information is structured as follows:

  • The most important information in brief: in this chapter, you are provided with an overview of the relationship between the restraint system and the correct behaviour of all vehicle occupants.
  • Specific information: in further sections of the chapter "Occupant safety", you can find specific information on the equipment and functions of the restraint system.
  • Keyword directory: you can also find certain subjects in this Owner's Manual using the keyword directory.

Information on the following subjects, among others, are not provided in the chapter "Occupant safety":

• Children in the vehicle (→ page 124)

- Driving and driving safety systems (→ page 343)

• Stowage areas ( page 198)

Defining generic terms clearly

In this Owner's Manual, the following generic terms are used:

  • Occupant safety: comprises the components and system functions which help to minimise, as much as possible, the stresses on and consequences for vehicle occupants during an accident.
  • Restraint system: comprises those components which, along with the vehicle structure, help prevent vehicle occupants from potentially coming into contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The seat belts and airbags, for example, are components of the restraint system.
  • Child restraint system: you can find all information on this subject in the chapter "Children in the vehicle" (→ page 124).

Be diligent

For the components of the restraint system to provide the intended level of protection, it is essential that your posture is correct and that the seat belt is correctly fastened.

Bear in mind that negligence when adjusting your sitting position and fastening the seat belt may have serious consequences. Be diligent and make sure that all vehicle occupants are sitting correctly and have fastened their seat belts properly before starting every journey ( page 108).

Information on the correct seat position

The seat position must be correct in order for the components of the restraint system to provide the intended level of protection.

The seat position influences both the protection provided by the seat belt and the additional protection provided by the airbag.

A correct seat position in which the seat is nearly perfectly upright and a correctly fastened seat belt reduce the risks posed by the airbag when it is deployed.

Keep space considerations in mind when choosing a seat. With the seat in the correct, nearly upright position, your head should not touch the roof.

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

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

Each vehicle occupant must make sure of the following.

Put the seat in the correct position.
Fasten seat belts correctly. Pregnant women must take particular care to ensure that the lap belt never lies across the abdomen.
▶ Observe the following information.

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

- Before starting your journey, adjust your seat correctly ( page 175).

When doing so, make sure you are able to fasten your seat belt correctly. The shoulder belt strap must be routed forward from the seat belt outlet over the centre of your shoulder.

  • Keep your distance from the airbags, especially the front airbags. Set the driver's seat and front passenger seat as far back as possible while making sure the seat belt is fastened correctly.
  • If persons are sitting on the rear seats, vehicle occupants should maintain an sufficient distance to the parts of the vehicle interior in front of them.
  • Make sure there are no people, animals or objects between the vehicle occupants and an airbag.
  • If you are the driver, observe the following information on the correct position of the driver's seat ( page 175).

Only hold the steering wheel by the steering wheel rim. This allows the driver's airbag to fully deploy.

- Assume a nearly upright sitting posture, with your buttocks positioned as far back as possible in the gap between the seat cushion and the seat backrest.

Your back must lie as flatly and as firmly as possible against the seat backrest.

  • While driving, do not lean forward and do not lean against the door or side window. You may otherwise be in the deployment area of the airbags.
  • Sit with their feet resting on the floor, if possible. Your thighs are slightly supported by the seat cushion
    Do not put your feet on the cockpit, for example. Your feet may otherwise be in the deployment area of the airbag.
  • Fasten the seat belt correctly (→ page 109).

Notes on wearing the seat belt correctly

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.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on wearing the seat belt correctly - 1

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.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on wearing the seat belt correctly - 2

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.

Observe the following information on the correct seat position and posture ( page 108). Each vehicle occupant must observe the following notes in particular:

• The seat belt must not be twisted.

  • The shoulder belt strap must be routed forward from the seat belt outlet over the centre of your shoulder.
  • The shoulder belt strap should neither touch your neck nor be routed under your arm or behind your back.
  • The lap belt must be routed as low down across the hips as possible.
    In addition, push the lap belt down as far as possible across your hips and pull tight with the shoulder belt strap. Never route the lap belt across your abdomen.
    Pregnant women must also take particular care with this.
  • After being tightened, the shoulder belt strap and lap belt must fit snugly against the body.
  • Avoid wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.
  • Never route the seat belt across sharp, pointed, abrasive or fragile objects.
  • Only one person should use each seat belt at any one time.

- Never secure objects with a seat belt if the seat belt is also being used by one of the vehicle's occupants.

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

If you are driving with a child in the vehicle, observe the information in the chapter "Children in the vehicle" ( page 124)

Observe the instructions for loading the vehicle when securing objects, luggage or loads ( page 198).

Fastening and adjusting seat belts

Do not stow any objects under the front passenger seat.
When the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure that no objects have become trapped beneath the front passenger seat.

Self-test: when the vehicle is switched on, both the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps light up simultaneously for several seconds. After the self-test, you can determine the status of the front passenger airbag as follows:

- Front passenger airbag disabled: PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF lights up continuously.

The front passenger airbag will not be deployed in the event of an accident. If

PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF is lit, no one may use the front passenger seat.

If a rearward-facing child restraint system is fitted on the front passenger seat, PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF must be lit continuously.

- Front passenger airbag enabled: PASSENGER AIR BAG ON lights up for up to 60 seconds or until both the PASSENGER AIR BAG ON and OFF indicator lamps go out.

The front passenger airbag may be deployed during an accident. If the front passenger airbag is in this status, no rearward-facing child restraint system may be fitted on the front passenger seat.

If you are driving with a child in the vehicle, observe the information in the chapter "Children in the vehicle" (→ page 124)

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to a disabled front passenger airbag

The front passenger airbag is disabled when the PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp is lit.

A person in the front passenger seat could then, for example, come into contact with the vehicle interior, especially if the person is sitting too close to the cockpit.

If the front passenger seat is occupied, always ensure that:

  • the classification of the person in the front passenger seat is correct and the front passenger airbag is enabled or disabled in accordance with the person in the front passenger seat.
  • the front passenger seat has been moved as far back as possible.
    • the person is seated correctly.
    Both before and during the journey, ensure that the status of the front passenger airbag is correct.

Malfunction of the automatic front passenger air-bag shutoff

The PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF indicator lamp and the restraint system indicator lamp light up simultaneously.

In this case, no one may use the front passenger seat and no child restraint system may be fitted on the front passenger seat.

Have the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff checked and repaired immediately at a qualified specialist workshop.

The front passenger airbag may be deployed during an accident. Observe the following information on the correct seat position ( page 108).

Vehicles with rear seats: a person of smaller stature should use a rear seat.

System limits

The front passenger airbag may otherwise be disabled by mistake, for example, in the following situation:

  • The front passenger transfers their weight by supporting themselves on a vehicle armrest.
  • The front passenger sits in such a way that their weight is raised from the seat surface.

NOTE Deployment of components of the restraint system when the front passenger seat is unoccupied

In an accident, the components of the restraint system may deploy unnecessarily on the front passenger side if:

• 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.

Function of 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: closing the sliding sunroof.
  • Vehicles with memory function: moving the front passenger seat to a more favourable seat position.
  • Vehicles with multicontour seat: increasing the lateral support by inflating the seat side bolsters of the seat backrest.
  • PRE-SAFE® Sound: provided that the multimedia system is switched on, generating a brief noise signal to stimulate the innate protective mechanism of a person's hearing.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - System limits - 1

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 preemptive measures to protect the vehicle occu-

pants. 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

You can watch an animation on this topic via the following link:

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.

Seat belt adjustment function

Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: after you have fastened the seat belt of the front seat, it may adjust itself against your body by pulling at the shoulder until somewhat tight. Do not hold the seat belt tightly while it is adjusting.

This function is a reminder that all vehicle occupants must wear their seat belts correctly.

You can activate and deactivate the seat belt adjustment function using the multimedia system ( page 117).

Overview of the automatic measures after an accident

Depending on the type and severity of the accident, and depending on the vehicle's equipment, the following measures can be implemented, for example:

• automatic braking (post-collision brake) ( page 117)
• activating the hazard warning lights
- triggering an automatic emergency call (→ page 68)
- switching off the engine
To start the vehicle again, switch the vehicle off and on once more ( page 268). Depending on the type and severity of the accident, you may no longer be able to start the vehicle.
- switching off the fuel supply
- Plug-in hybrid: switching off the hybrid system and high-voltage on-board electrical system
- unlocking the vehicle doors
• lowering the side windows

  • displaying the emergency guide in the central display ( page 69)
  • switching on the interior lighting

Function of the post-collision brake after an accident

Depending on the accident situation, the post-collision brake can minimise the severity of a further collision or even avoid it.

If an accident is detected, the post-collision brake can initiate automatic braking. When the vehicle has come to a standstill, the electric parking brake is automatically applied.

The driver can cancel automatic braking by taking the following actions:

• braking more strongly than automatic braking

- fully depressing the accelerator pedal with force

Purpose and function of the restraint system

Overview of deployment situations (restraint system)

Make sure that the following prerequisites in particular have been met so that the components of the restraint system are able to provide the intended level of protection:

  • Sit correctly (→ page 108).
  • Fasten the seat belt correctly (→ page 109).
  • Function of the seat belt warning lamp ( page 111).
  • Function of the rear seat belt status display ( page 111).

- The ☐ restraint system warning lamp is not lit up after the self-test (→ page 110).

- The PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display the correct status of the front passenger airbag ( page 112).

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 installation location of an airbag is identified by the AIRBAG symbol ( page 123).

Observe the information on the function of the restraint system ( page 118).

Information on how the restraint system works

How the restraint system functions depends on the severity of the impact detected and the apparent type of accident.

For more information about types of accidents, see "Overview of deployment situations" ( page 118).

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 pre-emptive 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 apparent type of accident and the detected deployment situation, seat belt tensioners and/or airbags supplement the protection offered by a correctly worn seat belt.

When enabled, an airbag can provide additional protection for the respective vehicle occupant.

Potential protection provided by each airbag:

  • Knee airbag: thigh, knee and lower leg
  • Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: head and ribcage
  • Window airbag: head
    • Side airbag: ribcage and pelvis

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.

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 to prevent breathing difficulties.

Information on the limited protection provided by the restraint system

Risk due to the incorrect behaviour of vehicle occupants

Every vehicle occupant must make sure of the following in particular:

- They observe the information on the correct seat position ( page 108).

- There are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects in the pockets of their clothing. Store such objects in a suitable place.

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to incorrect seat position

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

In particular, you may slip under the seatbelt and injure yourself.

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

Risk due to objects in the vehicle interior

Every vehicle occupant must make sure of the following in particular:

- They observe the information on the correct seat position ( page 108).

  • There are no objects between the seat, door and door pillar (B-pillar).
  • There are no hard objects, e.g. coat hangers, hanging on the grab handles or coat hooks.
  • There are no heavy, sharp-edged or fragile objects in the pockets of their clothing. Store such objects in a suitable place.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Risk due to objects in the vehicle interior - 1

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to blocked seat belt buckle or seat belt anchorage

Objects next to the front seat that block the seat belt buckle or the moving seat belt anchorage on the front seat impair the function of the seat belt tensioners.

Before starting the journey, make sure that there are no objects around the seat belt buckle or between the front seat and door.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Risk due to objects in the vehicle interior - 2

WARNING Risk of injury from objects in the deployment area of an airbag

Objects in the deployment area of an airbag can hinder or prevent the correct deployment of the airbag.

The airbag may then deploy in an uncontrolled manner and may even cause additional injuries to the vehicle occupants by deploying. This may be the case in particular if the airbag is integrated into the seat.

Always stow and secure objects correctly.
Before commencing your journey, make sure that no objects are stowed in the deployment area of an airbag.

The installation location of an airbag is identified by the AIRBAG ( page 123) symbol.

Risk due to fitting accessories

Do not attach accessories such as mobile navigation devices, mobile phones or cup holders, within the deployment area of an airbag, e.g. on the cockpit, on the door, on the side window or on the side trim.

In addition, no connecting cables, tensioning straps or retaining straps must be routed or attached to the vehicle within the deployment area of an airbag. Always comply with the accessory manufacturer's installation instructions and, in particular, the notes on suitable places for installation.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Risk due to fitting accessories - 1

WARNING Risk of injury or death due to unsuitable protective covers

Due to unsuitable protective covers, the air-bags cannot protect vehicle occupants as they are designed to do.

You should only use protective covers that have been approved for the corresponding seat by Mercedes-Benz.

In addition, the function of the automatic front passenger airbag shutoff could be restricted due to an unsuitable protective cover. If the front passenger seat is occupied, ensure that the PASSENGER AIR BAG indicator lamps display the

Important safety notes

Basic information

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.

Never allow babies and children to travel sitting on the lap of another vehicle occupant.

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 the child restraint system to be fitted:

  • LATCH-type (ISOFIX) securing rings: (→ page 136)

  • i-Size securing rings: (→ page 138)

- Securing with the vehicle seat belt: (→ page 138)

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 – Mercedes-Benz recommends using a child booster seat with a back-rest and seat belt guide

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 specifi-

cations 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.

Securing systems for child restraint systems in the vehicle

Only use the following securing systems for child restraint systems:

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

Simply attaching to the ISOFIX/LATCH securing rings or i-Size 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/LATCH or i-Size child restraint system, always comply with the permissible gross weight for the child and child restraint system ( page 143).

Securing the child restraint system

Adjusting the seat correctly

When fitting a child restraint system on the left or right rear seat, always observe the following:

Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat slightly forwards.

If the head restraint of the child restraint system cannot be fully extended when it is installed in the vehicle, this will result in restrictions on the maximum size setting for certain child restraint systems. Observe the child restraint system manufacturer's installation instructions.

Contact with the roof when the head restraint is fully extended and locked in place will not result in any restrictions on use.

When fitting an ISOFIX/LATCH or i-Size child restraint system, also observe the following:

When using a rearward-facing child restraint system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so that it does not touch the child restraint system.
When using a forward-facing child restraint system with integrated child seat belt: adjust the head restraint of the respective seat so that it does not push the child restraint system forwards. If necessary, the respective head restraint can be removed. In addition, the backrest of the child restraint system must lie as flat as possible against the backrest of the

vehicle seat. After the child restraint system has been removed, replace the vehicle head restraint immediately and adjust correctly.

The child restraint system must not be put under strain between the roof and the seat cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong direction. Where possible, adjust the seat cushion inclination accordingly.
Adjust the vehicle head restraints so that the child restraint system is not put under strain by the head restraint.

When fitting a belt-secured child restraint system, also observe the following:

When using a rearward-facing child restraint system on a rear seat: adjust the front seat so that it does not touch the child restraint system.
When using a forward-facing child restraint system with integrated child seat belt: adjust the head restraint of the respective seat so that it does not push the child restraint system forwards. If necessary, the respective head restraint can be removed. In addition, the backrest of the child restraint system must lie

as flat as possible against the backrest of the vehicle seat. After the child restraint system has been removed, replace the vehicle head restraint immediately and adjust correctly.
The backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, be resting on the seat backrest of the rear seat.
The child restraint system must not be put under strain between the roof and the seat cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong direction. Where possible, adjust the seat cushion inclination accordingly.
Adjust the vehicle head restraints so that the child restraint system is not put under strain by the head restraint.
Make sure that the child's feet do not touch the front seat. If necessary, move the front seat slightly forwards.

Depending on the vehicle equipment, always observe the following when fitting a belt-secured child restraint system on the front passenger seat:

Observe the notes on rearward-facing and forward-facing child restraint systems on the front passenger seat ( page 129).
When using a forward-facing child restraint system integrated child seat belt: remove the head restraint from the respective seat, if possible. After the child restraint system has been removed, immediately replace the head restraint and adjust correctly.
The backrest of the forward-facing child restraint system must, as far as possible, be resting on the seat backrest of the front passenger seat.
The child restraint system must not be put under strain between the roof and the seat cushion and/or be fitted facing the wrong direction.
Adjust the vehicle head restraints so that the child restraint system is not put under strain by the head restraint.

Never place objects (e.g. cushions) under or behind the child restraint system.
Set the front passenger seat as far back as possible and move the seat into the highest position if possible. 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 from the seat belt outlet and, where possible, downwards to the child restraint system.
Fully retract the seat cushion length adjustment.

Always be particularly careful around the tailpipe and the tailpipe trims and supervise children especially closely in this area.
Allow vehicle parts to cool down before touching them.

Leather is a natural product. It exhibits natural surface properties such as differences in structure, marks caused by growth and injury or subtle colour differences. These surface properties are characteristics of leather and not material faults. Leather is also subject to a natural ageing process during which the surface properties change.

The handling characteristics of your vehicle are dependent on the distribution of the load within the vehicle. You should bear the following in mind when loading the vehicle:

- Do not exceed the permissible total mass or the permissible axle loads of the vehicle (including load and occupants).

information can be found on the vehicle identification plate ( page 784).

  • The load must not protrude above the upper edge of the seat backrests.
  • Always use the partition net when transporting objects in the load compartment.
    • Always place the load behind unoccupied seats if possible.
  • Secure the load using the lashing eyelets and distribute the load evenly.

Notes on driving with a roof load

  • Distribute the roof load and the load inside the vehicle evenly, placing heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply with the notes on loading the vehicle.
  • Drive attentively, and avoid abrupt starts, braking and steering as well as rapid cornering.
  • When transporting roof loads and when the vehicle is fully loaded or fully occupied, select drive programs E and C. These are designed to focus on stability ( page 292).

• Active headlamps ( page 233)

• Cornering light ( page 233)
• Motorway mode ( page 234)
• Enhanced fog light function ( page 234)
• Off-road light ( page 235)

The system is active only when it is dark.

Active headlamps function
Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of the dynamic low beam - 1

natural_image Illustration of a road with vehicles and traffic signs, no readable text or symbols
  • The headlamps follow the steering movements.
  • Relevant areas are better illuminated during a journey.

The functions will be active when low beam is switched on.

Depending on the vehicle's equipment, the course of the lane in which you are driving will also be evaluated and the active headlamps function will adjust the light in advance.

Cornering light function
Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of the dynamic low beam - 2

natural_image Illustration of a person walking on a crosswalk beside a road with trees and a car in the background (no text or symbols)

The cornering light improves the illumination of the carriageway over a wide angle in the turning direction, enabling better visibility on tight bends, for example. The cornering light will be activated only when low beam is switched on.

The function will be active in the following cases:

  • At speeds below 40 km/h when the turn signal light is switched on or the steering wheel is turned
  • At speeds between 40 km/h and 70 km/h when the steering wheel is turned

Roundabout and junction function: the cornering light will be activated on both sides based on an evaluation of the vehicle's current navigation position. It will remain active until after the vehicle has left the roundabout or junction.

Motorway mode function

Motorway mode increases the range and brightness of the cone of light, enabling better visibility.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of the dynamic low beam - 3

natural_image Illustration of a multi-lane road with cars and trucks, no text or symbols present

The function will be active if a motorway journey is detected by means of:

  • the vehicle's speed
    • the multifunction camera
  • the GPS

The function will not be active at speeds below 80 km/h.

Enhanced fog light function

The enhanced fog light function reduces self-dazzling and improves the illumination of the edge of the carriageway.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of the dynamic low beam - 4

natural_image Illustration of a car driving on a multi-lane road with trees and hills in the background (no text or symbols)

The function is automatically activated under the following conditions:

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus function

WARNING Risk of accident despite Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus does not react to:

• road users without lights, e.g. pedestrians
• road users with poor lighting, e.g. cyclists
- road users whose lighting is obstructed, e.g. by a barrier

On very rare occasions, Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus may fail to recognise other road users with their own lighting, or may recognise them too late.

In these, or in similar situations, the automatic high beam will not be deactivated or will be

activated despite the presence of other road users.

▶ Always observe the road and traffic conditions carefully and switch off the high beam in good time.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus cannot take into account road, weather or traffic conditions.

Detection may be restricted in the following cases:

• In poor visibility, e.g. fog, heavy rain or snow
- If there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus is only an aid. You are responsible for adjusting the vehicle's lighting to the prevailing light, visibility and traffic conditions.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist Plus automatically switches between the following types of light:

  • Low beam
  • Partial high beam
  • High beam

Partial high beam uses the high beam to shine past other road users rather than dazzling them.

The vehicle in front will be illuminated by the low beam.

At speeds greater than 30 km/h:

  • If no other road users are detected, high beam will switch on automatically.
  • If other road users are detected, partial high beam will switch on automatically.

At speeds below 25 km/h or when there is sufficient street lighting:

  • The partial high beam will switch off automatically.
    • The high beam will switch off automatically.

At speeds greater than approximately 50 km/h:

- The headlamp range of the low beam will be regulated automatically based on the distance to other road users.

The system's optical sensor is located behind the windscreen near the overhead control panel.

Notes on plug-in hybrids

Notes on plug-in hybrid operation

WARNING Risk of chemical burns and poisoning from damaged high-voltage battery

If the housing of the high-voltage battery has been damaged, electrolyte and gases may leak out.

Avoid contact with the skin, eyes or clothing.
Immediately rinse electrolyte splashes off with water and seek medical attention straight away.

DANGER Risk of fire and explosion from excessive internal pressure of the high-voltage battery

In the event of a vehicle fire, flammable gas can escape and ignite.

▶ Stop the charging process immediately in case of unusual odours, smoke or burn marks.
Leave the danger zone immediately. Secure the danger zone at a sufficient distance.
▶ Call the fire service.

The hybrid system combines a combustion engine with an electric motor.

Characteristics when the vehicle is at a standstill:

  • The combustion engine is generally switched off.
  • Idle speed occurs only in certain instances.

Characteristics when the vehicle is started:

  • If the high-voltage battery is sufficiently charged, the vehicle can be started with the electric drive system without the combustion engine (noiseless start).
  • If the high-voltage battery for the electric drive system is not sufficiently charged or the vehicle conditions for a silent start are not met,

the vehicle will start with the combustion engine.

Depending on the system, it may be the case that even though the high-voltage battery is charged, electric mode has restricted or no availability. Once the combustion engine has been operated for long enough and ambient conditions permit, electric mode will be available again without restriction.

Characteristics with moderate power output requests:

  • The combustion engine is switched off as often as possible during the journey.
  • The vehicle can, depending on the drive program selected and the state of charge of the high-voltage battery, be accelerated electrically up to a speed of approximately 140 km/h.

Characteristics with high power output requests:

  • The electric motor supports the combustion engine (boost effect), e.g. when you pull away or accelerate.
    • The high-voltage battery is discharging.

Characteristics when the accelerator pedal is released during the journey:

  • The electric motor is operated as an alternator when in overrun mode and during braking.
    • The high-voltage battery is charging.

Notes on electric mode:

  • Vehicles with hybrid systems generate significantly less noise when stationary and when being driven than vehicles with combustion engines.
  • When you are driving in electric mode, the vehicle may not be heard by other road users due to the significantly lower noise generated.
    For this reason, the vehicle is equipped with a sound generator, which serves as an acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS). This safety device is prescribed by law.
    The external noise of the sound generator is perceptible in the vehicle interior at low speeds and does not represent a malfunction.
  • If not all the vehicle conditions for electric mode are met, the combustion engine will be switched on.

  • Performance restrictions in electric mode are possible as a result of the operating temperature of the high-voltage battery and drive system, the ambient temperature and ageing of the high-voltage battery.

  • In electric mode, the maximum power will not be permanently available and may drop to continuous output.

Notes on the acoustic vehicle alerting system:

  • The sound generator generates a stationary noise and speed-dependent vehicle noise emissions at speeds of up to around 30 km/h when the vehicle is driving both forwards and in reverse.
  • This will help other road users, particularly pedestrians and cyclists, to hear your vehicle better.
  • When you drive at speeds above 20 km/h, the acoustic vehicle alerting system will gradually switch off.
  • The sound generator will be off when the vehicle is stationary.

Manually disconnecting the high-voltage on-board electrical system

Running-in notes

To preserve the engine during the first 1500 km:

  • Drive at varying road speeds and engine speeds.
    • No faster than 140 km/h.
  • Drive the vehicle in drive mode [C] or [E].

  • Shift to the next higher gear at the very latest when the needle reaches the last third before the red area in the rev counter.

  • Do not shift down 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 1500 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 handling 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 only reached when this teaching-in process has concluded.
  • Brake pads, brake disks and tyres that are either new or have been replaced only achieve

optimum braking effect and grip after driving several hundred kilometres. Compensate the reduced braking effect by applying greater force to the brake pedal.

Engine output and engine torque (Mercedes-AMG vehicles)

The actual (maximum) values that can be achieved for engine output and engine torque may deviate from the certified values within the permissible tolerances according to country-specific guidelines (basis: UN-ECE No. 85 or country-specific guidelines).
Variables that can influence this are, for example:
- Location above sea level
- Fuel quality
- Outside temperature
- Operating temperature of the engine
The availability of the engine operating temperature warning lamp depends on the model.

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 in your driving style.

When the engine operating temperature warning lamp 🙏 goes out, full engine output and engine torque are available to you.

Notes on optimised acceleration

If all necessary requirements and activation conditions are fulfilled, the best possible acceleration can be achieved from a standstill.

Do not use optimised acceleration on public roads. Individual wheels could spin and you could lose control of the vehicle. There is an increased risk of skidding and/or accident.

Be sure to observe the safety notes and information on ESP ^® (→ page 346).

Pulling away with optimised acceleration

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Pulling away with optimised acceleration - 1

WARNING Risk of skidding and accidents due to wheelspin

If you pull away with optimised acceleration, individual wheels could spin and you could lose control of the vehicle.

There is a higher risk of skidding and accidents when ESP ^® is deactivated in particular.

Make sure that there are no persons or obstacles in the vicinity of the vehicle.

Requirements

• the vehicle is run in (→ page 273).
• the vehicle and tyres are in good condition.
• the road surface is high-grip.
- the engine and transmission are at normal operating temperature.

NOTE Increased wear due to optimised acceleration

When pulling away with optimised acceleration, all components of the drivetrain are subjected to a very high load.

This can lead to increased component wear.

Do not always pull away with optimised acceleration.

Engage drive position D ( page 305).
Move the steering wheel to the straight-ahead position.
Select drive program S (→ page 297, 296).
Deactivate ESP ^® (→ page 350).
Depress and hold the brake pedal firmly with your left foot.
With your right foot, fully depress the accelerator pedal.

After no more than five seconds, take your left foot quickly off the brake, but keep the accelerator pedal depressed. The vehicle will pull away at maximum acceleration. Switch on ESP® once the acceleration procedure is complete.

Ending optimised acceleration

Remove your foot from the accelerator pedal.
Reactivate ESP®.
i After you pull away with optimised acceleration, components of the drivetrain can become very hot, which means that optimised acceleration values may be reached again only after a few minutes.

Notes on driving

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.

WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect footwear

Incorrect footwear includes, for example:

• shoes with platform soles
• shoes with high heels
- slippers

There is a risk of an accident.

Always wear suitable footwear so that you can operate the pedals safely.

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

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

This may affect the power steering system and the brake force boosting, for example.

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

Do not switch off the vehicle while driving.

DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to exhaust gases

Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide. Breathing in these exhaust gases is hazardous to health and results in poisoning.

▶ Never leave the engine and, if present, the stationary heater, running in an enclosed space without sufficient ventilation.

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.

A 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, for example, if the vehicle gets stuck in the snow.

Keep the tailpipe and the area around the vehicle free from snow when the engine or the stationary heater is 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 can 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.

! 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 mis-firing.
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.

NOTE Reduced battery life due to frequent short-distance trips

The 12 V battery may not be sufficiently charged when the vehicle is used only for short-distance trips. This reduces the life of the battery.

▶ Drive longer distances regularly to charge the battery.

NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to not observing the maximum permitted head-room clearance

If the vehicle height is greater than the maximum permitted headroom clearance, the roof and other parts of the vehicle may be damaged.

Observe the signposted headroom clearance.
If the vehicle height is greater than the permitted headroom clearance, do not enter.
▶ Observe the changed vehicle height with add-on roof equipment.

Please bear in mind that all the speed values stated in this Operator's Manual are approximate and are subject to a certain tolerance.

Notes on driving with a roof load, trailer or fully laden vehicle

When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occupied vehicle, the vehicle's driving and steering characteristics change.

You should bear the following in mind:

  • Do not exceed the permissible roof load and towing capacity. Also observe the information in the Technical Data.
  • Distribute the roof load and the load inside the vehicle evenly, placing heavy objects at the

bottom. Also comply with the notes on loading the vehicle ( page 198).

- Drive attentively, and avoid abrupt starts, braking and steering as well as rapid cornering.

Advice on driving on salt-strewn roads

The braking effect is limited on salt-strewn road surfaces.

Therefore, observe the following notes:

  • Due to salt build-up on the brake disks and brake pads, the braking distance can increase considerably or result in one-sided braking.
  • Maintain a much greater safety distance to the vehicle travelling ahead.

Remove salt build-up as follows:

  • Brake occasionally, 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 if a certain depth of water has built up 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 33).

Notes on driving through water on the road

Water ingress 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 have to drive through water:

  • Observe the maximum permissible depth for driving through water ( page 806, 804).
  • Drive at walking speed at most; water can otherwise enter the vehicle interior or the engine compartment.

- Vehicles travelling ahead, 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, paying attention to the traffic conditions until braking power has been fully restored.

Notes on off-road driving

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on off-road driving - 1

WARNING Risk of accident if you do not keep to line of fall on inclines

If you drive at an angle or turn on an incline, the vehicle could slip sideways, tip and roll-over.

Always drive on inclines in the line of fall (straight up or down) and do not turn.

A WARNING Risk of fire due to flammable material coming into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system

If combustible materials, e.g. leaves, grass or twigs, come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system, they may ignite.

When driving off-road or on unpaved surfaces, check the underside of the vehicle at regular intervals.
In particular, remove any trapped parts of plants or other flammable material.
If damage should occur, immediately inform a qualified specialist workshop.

When driving off-road, sand, mud and water or water mixed with oil, etc., may get into the brakes. This may lead to a reduction in braking effect or even a total brake failure as a result of increased wear. The braking characteristics will vary depending on the material that has entered the system. Clean the brakes after driving off-road. If you then notice reduced braking effect or hear scraping noises, have the brake system checked

at a qualified specialist workshop. Adapt your driving style to the changed braking characteristics.

NOTE Damage caused by driving over obstacles

The vehicle can be damaged by:

  • driving onto high kerbs or unpaved roads.
  • quickly driving over obstacles such as kerbs, speed bumps or potholes.
  • heavy objects hitting the underbody or chassis components.

Do not drive over obstacles that could damage the vehicle.

▶ Check the vehicle regularly for damage during off-road driving.

Adjust the vehicle speed to suit the road surface conditions.

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

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental damage due to non-observance of prohibition signs

Environmental protection has priority. Treat nature with respect.

Be sure to observe prohibition signs.

Check-list before driving off-road

Check the following points before driving off-road:

  • Fuel level
    • Vehicles with a diesel engine: AdBlue® level
    • Engine oil level: fill engine oil to the maximum level to ensure full gradeability ( page 30)
  • Tyre-change tool kit and spare wheel
  • tyres and wheels

Further information about special all-terrain tyres for retrofitting can be obtained from a qualified specialist workshop.

The off-road menu in the multimedia system can support you when driving off-road. Familiarise yourself with its displays and equipment-depend-

ent setting options before going off-road ( page 505).

Off-road driving

Read this section before driving your vehicle off-road. Practise by driving over gentler off-road terrain first.

  • Observe the notes on the cross-country ABS ( page 346).
  • Select the 📄 (→ page 297, 296) drive program before driving off-road.
  • Select a vehicle level suitable for off-road terrain ( page 391). To avoid damaging the vehicle, make sure there is always sufficient ground clearance.
    The high-voltage battery in particular can be damaged by bottoming out or by impacts against the underbody. Please also observe the notes on operating safety ( page 90).
  • Always keep the engine running and in gear when driving on downhill gradients and slopes. Observe the notes on driving in mountainous terrain.

  • Do not drive on unknown terrain that is not easily visible and stay on marked paths.
    • Always keep the doors and windows closed while the vehicle is in motion.

  • Deactivate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, cruise control and the variable limiter.
  • Adapt your driving style to the terrain.
  • Do not use the HOLD function on steep downhill or uphill gradients with slippery or loose surfaces.

Driving on sand

When driving on sand, also observe the following instructions:

  • Select the drive program.
  • Select a higher vehicle level.
  • Shift to a lower gear.
  • Drive quickly to overcome the rolling resistance; the vehicle may otherwise dig itself in.
  • Drive in the tracks of other vehicles if possible. Make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

- the tyre ruts are not too deep.

F167 0009 02

  • the sand is firm enough.
  • there is sufficient ground clearance.

Fording

Also observe the following information when fording:

  • Vehicles with AIRMATIC: select the highest possible vehicle level ( page 391).
    Vehicles with E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL: select the highest possible vehicle level ( page 404).
  • Drive no faster than 10 km/h.
  • Observe the maximum permissible depth for driving through water ( page 806, 804).
  • Switch off automatic climate control (→ page 253).
  • Vehicles with auxiliary heater/ventilation: switch the auxiliary heater/ventilation off ( page 54).
  • Ensure that a bow wave does not form as you drive.

- Do not stop in the water and do not switch off the engine. Ensure the ECO start/stop function is switched off ( page 283).

Driving in mountainous terrain

Also observe the following information when driving in mountainous terrain:

  • Observe the values of the approach/departure angle and the maximum gradient-climbing ability ( page 806, 804).
  • Avoid high engine speeds.
  • Use the braking power of the engine when driving downhill.
  • Shift to a lower gear on uphill gradients and on long, steep downhill gradients.
  • Activate DSR before driving downhill, if necessary ( page 368).

Check-list after driving off-road

Driving off-road places greater demands on your vehicle than driving on normal roads. Check the entire vehicle for damage and foreign bodies every time after driving off-road. Foreign bodies in the wheels or drivetrain can lead to imbalances and therefore vibrations.

  • If the driving mode is selected: select another driving mode.
  • Deactivate DSR.
  • Lower the vehicle level again to a level suitable to the road conditions, e.g. to the normal level.
  • Apply the brakes to dry them after fording.
  • Check that the service brake is working normally after a long downhill stretch.
  • Clean the following components every time after driving off-road:
  • licence plate number
    headlamps and tail lamps
  • tyres, wheels and wheel arches
    underbody
    • After driving through sand, mud, water or gravel, have the following components checked and cleaned:
  • brake disks and brake pads
    tyres and wheels
  • axle joints

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

ECO start/stop function

i Plug-in hybrid: this function is not available.
(i) Depending on the engine, the ECO start/stop function is not available in all drive programs. Observe the status display on the driver's display concerning this.

The engine will be 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].
  • 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 pulls away 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 , the engine can be switched off in spite of an intelligent stop inhibitor.

The engine will restart automatically in the following cases:

  • You engage transmission position D or R.
  • You depress the accelerator pedal.
  • The vehicle requires an automatic engine start.
    • You release the brake pedal.
  • 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 on the driver's display:

  • The Ⓐ symbol (green) appears when the vehicle is at a standstill: the engine was 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 the Ⓐ symbol appears when the vehicle is at a standstill: an

intelligent stop inhibitor, e.g. a stop sign, has been detected.

- The ^out symbol 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 will sound and the engine will not be restarted. In addition, the following display message will appear on the driver's display:

Vehicle is operational Switch off vehicle before exiting

If you do not switch off the vehicle, it will automatically be switched off after three minutes.

ECO display function

Depending on the model and equipment, your vehicle will have one of the following representations of the ECO display.

The ECO display summarises your driving characteristics from the start of the journey to its completion and assists you in achieving the most economical driving style.

The ECO display assesses the following criteria for an economical driving style:

• coasting at the right times
- consistent speed
• moderate acceleration

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - ECO display function - 1

text_image CONSTANT 1 Bonus 242 km From start 3 ACCELERATION 4 CONSTANT

The lettering in the segment will light up brightly, the outer edge will light up and the segment will fill up when the following driving style is adopted:

  • ① Steady speed
    • ② Gentle deceleration and rolling
    • ③ Moderate acceleration

The lettering in the segment will be grey, the outer edge will be dark and the segment will empty when the following driving style is adopted:

• ① Fluctuations in speed
• Heavy braking
• ③ Sporty acceleration

The ECO display will show you when you have driven economically:

  • The three segments will fill up completely at the same time
  • The edges around all three segments will light up

The additional range achieved as a result of your driving style in comparison with a driver with a very sporty driving style will be shown in the centre of display ④. The range displayed does not indicate a fixed reduction in consumption.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - ECO display function - 2

text_image ECO display 1 2 3

The ECO display shows an evaluation of your driving style on the driver's display depending on the

situation. This enables you to check the efficiency of your driving style and adjust it if necessary. The ECO display menu shows a ball ② that will roll forwards or backwards on a stylised road in the direction of travel according to the driving characteristics.

Above and below the road, lines mark the area for an efficient driving style ③. Ball ② will light up in green if it is rolling within these lines. Outside the lines, the ball will light up in orange.

The overall assessment of your driving style "from start" is indicated using stars ①. It starts with five empty stars, which you can fill one after the other if you drive efficiently. When all five stars are filled, a glow will appear in the background.

① You can call up the ECO display function via the Classic menu (→ page 442).

ECO Assist function (vehicles with 48 V on-board electrical system)

For plug-in hybrids, note the ECO Assist information ( page 288).

i ECO Assist will be active only in drive programs E and C.

ECO Assist analyses data for the vehicle's expected route. This allows the system to optimise the driving style for the route ahead, save fuel and recuperate. If the system detects an event ahead and the vehicle nears the event, ECO Assist will calculate the optimum speed for maximum fuel economy and recuperative energy based on the distance, speed and downhill gradient.

If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not sufficient, you must also brake with the service brake. This will be the case particularly if, for example, you pull away again in slow-moving traffic and the distance to the vehicle in front is very short.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - ECO Assist function (vehicles with 48 V on-board electrical system) - 1

text_image 125.3 km 24967 ① ② #

① "Foot off the accelerator" recommendation
② Route event ahead

If a route event ahead or vehicle in front is detected that requires an adjustment of your driving style for improved efficiency, symbol ② and the symbol will be displayed in grey.

If you release the accelerator pedal, the symbol will turn green and recuperation in overrun mode will be initiated. If the deceleration is not sufficient, also apply the service brake. If ECO Assist intervenes for a route event ahead (not for a vehicle in front) and you then press the accelerator pedal again, you will end control by ECO Assist.

The ECO Assist display will be hidden again in the following cases:

  • You do not react to the ECO Assist recommendation for a long time.
  • You depress the accelerator pedal while ECO Assist is intervening for a route event ahead (not for a vehicle in front).
    • ECO Assist cannot identify any further recommendations from the route ahead.

In addition to a vehicle in front 📄, ECO Assist can detect the following route events ② depending on the vehicle's equipment:

Roundabout
T-junction
Downhill gradient
km/h Speed limit

In drive program C, ECO Assist will react only to the "vehicle in front" route event without displaying the route event or recommendation.

System limits

If the calculated route is adhered to when route guidance is active, ECO Assist will operate with greater accuracy. 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 system may be impaired or may not function in the following situations:

  • If there is poor visibility, 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 the windscreen is dirty in the vicinity of the multifunction camera.
  • If the multifunction camera is misted up, damaged or obscured.

  • If road signs are hard to detect, e.g. due to dirt, snow or insufficient lighting, or because they are obscured.

  • If the information in the navigation system's digital map is incorrect or out of date.
  • If signs are ambiguous, e.g. road signs in road-works or in adjacent lanes.
    • If the radar sensors are dirty or obscured.
  • When you drive on roads with steep gradients.
  • If there are narrow vehicles in front, such as bicycles or motorcycles.

Recuperative brake system (plug-in hybrid)

Function of the recuperative brake system

The function is only available for plug-in hybrids.

Depending on the selected recuperation level, the electric motor is operated as an alternator when in overrun mode and during braking in order to charge the high-voltage battery while driving. As soon as you take your foot off the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in motion and in trans-

mission position D, recuperation in overrun mode is initiated.

The higher the recuperation, the more sharply the vehicle is braked when coasting and the more electrical energy is fed into the high-voltage battery.

The deceleration in overrun mode may not be sufficient depending on the driving conditions. Decelerating to a standstill is not possible. Also brake with the service brake if necessary. Always adapt your speed to the driving conditions and keep a sufficient distance.

The recuperative brake system has the following characteristics:

• supports braking with electronically controlled brake force boosting
- converts the kinetic energy of the vehicle into electric energy

If you brake hard, the mechanical brake is also used. This means that the maximum recuperative energy cannot be recovered. The more you drive and brake in an anticipatory manner, the more efficiently energy can be recuperated.

System limits

The braking effect of the electric motor during recuperation in overrun mode may be reduced or may not be available at all in the following situations:

  • when the high-voltage battery charge level increases
  • if the high-voltage battery is not yet at a normal operating temperature

In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by the brake control system.

Manually setting recuperative deceleration

This function is only available for a plug-in hybrid.

You can use the steering wheel gearshift paddles to adjust the intensity of recuperation in drive programs H, B and EL.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - System limits - 1

text_image Diagram of a car steering wheel with labeled components 1 and 2, showing dashboard and steering wheel layout.

The following recuperation levels are available:

• D AUTO Intelligent and anticipatory recuperation with ECO Assist (→ page 288)
• D + No recuperation: the vehicle rolls freely
• D Normal recuperation
- D - Increased recuperation: strong deceleration in overrun mode, e.g. for driving on downhill gradients

Standard setting:

• D AUTO: if the ECO Assist function is activated in the multimedia system ( page 289).
• D: if the ECO Assist function is deactivated in the multimedia system.

i D AUTO is only available if the ECO Assist function is activated in the multimedia system and if the function of the radar sensors is not impaired. Also observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras ( page 343).

To increase recuperation: briefly pull gearshift paddle ①.
To reduce recuperation: briefly pull gearshift paddle 2.
Standard setting: pull and hold gearshift paddle ① or ②, or engage transmission position D again.
When the vehicle is started again, the standard setting is also set.

The driver's display shows the currently selected recuperation level next to the transmission position display.

ECO Assist (plug-in hybrid)

ECO Assist function

The following function depends on the equipment and the country and is available only for plug-in hybrids.

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. If the system detects an event ahead and the vehicle nears the event, ECO Assist will calculate the optimum speed for maximum fuel economy and recuperative energy based on the distance, speed and downhill gradient.

If the deceleration provided by ECO Assist is not sufficient, you must also brake with the service brake. This will be the case particularly if, for example, you pull away again in slow-moving traffic and the distance to the vehicle in front is very short.

The function will be active in the following circumstances:

  • The function is activated in the multimedia system ( page 289).
  • The D AUTO recuperation level is selected (→ page 287).
    • M manual gearshifting is not activated.
  • Drive program S or is not selected.

Function of 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.

Charging the high-voltage battery (plug-in hybrid)

Notes on charging the high-voltage battery

NOTE High-voltage battery damage due to leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods of time

Lithium-ion batteries experience a natural self-discharge.

Exhaustive discharging can therefore occur if the vehicle is idle for several months. This can damage the high-voltage battery.

To avoid damage, please observe the following recommendations when handling the high-voltage battery.

NOTE Accelerated ageing of the high-voltage battery due to not observing the following recommendations

As a result of its basic characteristics, the storage capacity of and the amount of energy available from the high-voltage battery decrea-

ses over the course of its life. Due to this, both the maximum electrical range that can be achieved by the vehicle and its maximum electrical output can be impaired.

The following factors could accelerate the ageing of the high-voltage battery:

  • a high level of charge, especially if the vehicle is idle for a lengthy period of time
  • frequent rapid charging with direct current (mode 4)
    • leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods at high ambient temperatures

To avoid accelerated ageing, please observe the following recommendations when handling the high-voltage battery.

Recommendations when handling the high-voltage battery:

  • Only charge the high-voltage battery with direct current (mode 4) if necessary.
  • If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods, park up the vehicle with a high-voltage battery charge level between 25% and 30%. Do not

keep the high-voltage battery continuously connected to power supply equipment.

  • If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods of time avoid, if possible, high ambient temperatures.
  • Check the high-voltage battery's charge level every six weeks ( page 336).
  • Charge the high-voltage battery if the charge level is below 15%.
  • Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the vehicle is left idle for a lengthy period. Otherwise, the condition of the vehicle's high-voltage battery cannot be monitored.
  • If the high-voltage battery is only used with low charge levels, fully charge the high-voltage battery every six months.

Depending on the equipment and national version, your vehicle is equipped with one of the following vehicle sockets:

- Type 1 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3)

  • Type Combo 1 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3) and charging with direct current (mode 4)
  • Type 2 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3)
  • Type Combo 2 for charging with alternating current (mode 2/3) and charging with direct current (mode 4)

① Type 1 or type 2 connection for charging with alternating current
② Socket extension for charging with direct current
When using a CCS (Combined Charging System) charging cable to charge with direct current at a combo vehicle socket, both vehicle

socket connections ① and ② are used for charging.

Charging options for the high-voltage battery (mode 2, 3 or 4):

  • Charging through recuperation while the vehicle is in motion
  • Charging with alternating current when stationary:

- at a mains socket (mode 2)

- at a wallbox or charging station (mode 3)

- Charging with direct current when stationary (vehicles with combo vehicle sockets):

- at a rapid charging station (mode 4)

Depending on the country-specific vehicle equipment and your vehicle's charging cable, single phase AC charging is also possible.

Observe the different grid requirements of your current location when charging. Only use charging cables which conform to the grid requirements.

Consult a qualified electrician or your local grid operator if you have any questions.

It is recommended that you charge the high-voltage battery at a wallbox or charging station due to the improved charging performance and better charging efficiency offered.

System limits

The power output of the high-voltage battery may be impaired by the following:

• High or low outside temperatures
- Electrical auxiliary consumers in the vehicle being switched on, e.g. operating the air conditioning system
• Extended periods without charging

The charging time or the charging capacity of the high-voltage battery may be increased in particular by the following:

• High or low outside temperatures
- A low or high state of charge on the high-voltage battery
- The maximum available charge current of the charging facility

Stowing the charging cable

Always stow the vehicle's charging cable in the charging cable bag provided, and secure the charging cable bag in the boot or load compartment with the included retaining strap. Otherwise, the charging cable bag with the charging cable is not sufficiently secured.

▶ Never use socket adapters to connect the charging cable to the mains socket. The only exception being if the adapter has been tested and approved by the manufacturer for charging the high-voltage battery of an electric vehicle.
Observe the safety notes in the operating instructions for the socket adapter.

Only the following charging cables may be used:

  • The charging cable supplied with the vehicle.
  • A charging cable that has been approved for the vehicle.

The charging process can vary depending on the power supply equipment. The charging times when charging the high-voltage battery at the mains socket are considerably longer than when charging at a wallbox or charging station.

When doing so, always observe the local information.

Do not leave the charging cable controls hanging loose from a mains socket.

Do not lift the controls by the following component parts:

• the charging cable connector
- the mains plug

When charging, protect the charging cable control element from excessive heat such as direct sunlight. Otherwise, the charging process may be cancelled.

Notes on charging the high-voltage battery at a wallbox or charging station (mode 3)

DANGER Risk of fatal injury from incorrectly installed component parts

Connecting the charging cable to a wallbox using incorrectly installed component parts could cause a fire or an electric shock, for example.

Only connect the charging cable to a wallbox that:
- Has been properly installed and
- Has been inspected by a qualified electrician

Observe the safety notes in the operating instructions for the wallbox.

If charging at a wallbox without pre-installed cable, use the optionally available charging cable for wallbox and charging station (mode 3). The charging cable is stowed in a bag in the boot/luggage compartment.

Only use charging cables that have been tested and approved by the manufacturer for charging the high-voltage battery in an electric vehicle.

DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to damaged components

If you use a damaged component to connect the vehicle to the charging station, this can result in fire or an electric shock, for example.

Perform a visual inspection of the charging station for obvious defects, e.g. damage to the housing or on the charging cable connection.
At charging stations without a pre-installed cable, for safety reasons, only use charging cables that have been tested

and approved by the manufacturer for charging the high-voltage battery in an electric vehicle.

▶ Do not use a damaged charging cable.
Do not use an extension for the charging cable.
Do not use an adapter.
Always observe the safety information on the charging station.

Most charging stations must be activated before the charging process, e.g. using an RFID card. Observe the on-site operator's instructions for the charging station.

The amount of energy dispensed for the charging process, shown by the charging station, may be higher than the amount of energy actually absorbed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result of different levels of charging losses and is described as recharge efficiency. Charging losses occur, for example, due to heat that builds up when the vehicle is charging or from auxiliary consumers that are switched on. Further information on

recharge efficiency can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.

Notes on charging the high-voltage battery at a rapid charging station (mode 4)

DANGER Risk of fatal injuries due to damaged components

A DANGER Risk of fatal injuries when carrying out maintenance work during the charging process

During the charging process, the high-voltage on-board electrical system is under high voltage.

Do not perform any maintenance work during the charging process.

Most charging stations must be activated before the charging process, e.g. using an RFID card. Observe the on-site operator's instructions for the charging station.

The charging cable for the vehicle must not be longer than 30 m due to the legal requirements in some countries. This is to prevent the interference of signals being received by radio communi-

cation devices in the vehicle or in close proximity to the charging station. Be aware that parts of the charging cable may be routed underground. If in doubt, ask the charging station operator if this is the case before charging the high-voltage battery. The amount of energy dispensed for the charging process, shown by the charging station, may be higher than the amount of energy actually absorbed by the high-voltage battery. This is the result of different levels of charging losses and is described as recharge efficiency. Charging losses occur, for example, due to heat that builds up when the vehicle is charging or from auxiliary consumers that are switched on. Further information on recharge efficiency can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.

Setting the maximum permissible charging current for charging at a mains socket

NOTE Overloading the mains socket due to excessive charging current

If the charging current is too high, the fuse could be tripped or the external mains supply could overheat.

Make sure that the external mains supply has been designed to handle the set charging current.
If necessary, reduce the set charging current or use a different mains socket.
For safety reasons, only use the charging cable supplied with the vehicle or an original Mercedes-Benz charging cable. Mercedes-Benz thoroughly tests these original charging cables for their suitability for high-voltage charging of your vehicle. Purchase these parts at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre and obtain advice there.

Before charging at a mains socket, have the maximum permissible charging current for the relevant mains socket or the building inspected by a qualified electrician. The charging cable supplied is set to a country-specific maximum charging current value. When charging abroad, the maximum value may exceed the permitted value for that country. When abroad, observe the country-specific laws when charging. If you have questions concerning setting the charging current or if there is a malfunction, please contact a qualified specialist workshop.

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 you paying attention to your surroundings and do not relieve you of your responsibility pertaining to road traffic law. The driver is always responsible for maintain-

ing 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.

Some driving systems can regulate or limit the speed to a previously set value. Draw attention to the stored speed when changing drivers.

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.

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 625). The sensors and cameras must not be covered and the detection ranges around them must be kept free. Do not attach additional licence 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, for instance, at maximum full-stop braking or if there is 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.

System limits

  • ABS is active from speeds of approximately 5 km/h.
  • ABS may be impaired or may not function if a malfunction has occurred and the yellow ☑ ABS warning lamp lights up continuously after the vehicle is started.

Function of off-road ABS

(i) Off-road ABS is activated automatically when you select the drive program.

Off-road ABS is specially adapted for driving off-road:

• The front wheels lock cyclically during braking.
- The braking distance is shortened due to the digging-in effect.

System limits

  • Off-road ABS functions at speeds below 40 km/h.
  • If Off-road ABS intervenes, the ability to steer may be restricted.

Function of BAS

WARNING Risk of an accident caused by a malfunction in BAS (Brake Assist System)

If BAS is malfunctioning, the braking distance in an emergency braking situation is increased.

▶ Depress the brake pedal with full force in emergency braking situations. ABS prevents the wheels from locking.

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

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.

Function of ESP ^®

WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP® is deactivated

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

ESP® should only be deactivated in the following situations.

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP ^® ) can monitor and improve driving stability and traction in the following situations within physical limits:

  • When pulling away on wet or slippery carriageways.
  • When braking.

If the vehicle deviates from the direction desired by the driver, 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.

When ESP® is deactivated, the OFF warning lamp lights up continuously:

  • Driving stability will no longer be improved.
    • The drive wheels could spin.
    • ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.

When ESP ^ is deactivated, you are still assisted by ESP ^ when braking.

When the warning lamp flashes, one or several wheels has reached its grip limit:

  • Adapt your driving style to suit the current road and weather conditions.
  • Do not deactivate ESP ^ .
  • Only depress the accelerator pedal as far as is necessary when pulling away.

Deactivate ESP® in the following situations to improve traction:

  • When using snow chains.
  • In deep snow.
  • On sand or gravel.

i Spinning the wheels results in a cutting action, which enhances traction.

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

Observe the following information:

• Warning and indicator lamps (→ page 909)
• Display messages (→ page 817)

ETS/4ETS (Electronic Traction System)

ETS/4ETS traction control is part of ESP® and makes it possible to pull away and accelerate on a slippery carriageway.

If you select drive program 📄, a special ETS system specifically suited to off-road terrain is automatically activated.

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.

Influence of drive programs on ESP®

The drive programs enable ESP ^® to adapt to different weather and road conditions as well as the driver's preferred driving style. Depending on the selected drive program, the appropriate ESP ^® mode will be activated ( page 297, 296).

Function of ESP® (Mercedes-AMG vehicles)

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.
  • When there is a strong crosswind and a driving speed of approximately 80 km/h to 200 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 vehicle is started regardless of whether ESP ^® was in ESP ^® SPORT or deactivated before the vehicle was switched off.

When the warning lamp flashes, one or several wheels has reached its grip limit:

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

Characteristics of ESP® SPORT

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Characteristics of ESP® SPORT - 1

WARNING Risk of skidding if ESP® SPORT is used incorrectly

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. 80 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, ESP ^® can 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 operating energy 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.

Please note the information on the warning lamps and display messages.

Function of EBD

Electronic Brakeforce 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 assists you by transmitting a noticeable steering force to the steering wheel in the direction required for vehicle stabilisation.

If you brake and both right wheels or both left wheels are on a wet or slippery road surface, you will receive a steering recommendation.

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 ^ 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

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - HOLD function - 1

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 on the driver's side is fastened.

  • The vehicle has been started 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 N.

Activating the HOLD function

Depress the brake pedal, and after a short time quickly depress further until the HOLD display appears in the driver's display.
Release the brake pedal.

Deactivating the HOLD function

Depress the accelerator pedal to pull away. or
Depress the brake pedal until the HOLD display disappears from the driver's display.

The HOLD function is deactivated in the following situations:

• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activated.

• The transmission is shifted to position P.
- The vehicle is secured with the electric parking brake.

In the following situations, the vehicle is held by transmission position [P] and/or by the electric parking brake:

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

In addition, the Brake immediately message may appear in the driver's display and a horn tone may sound at regular intervals.

Immediately depress the brake pedal firmly until the warning message disappears. The HOLD function is deactivated.
Additionally secure the vehicle against rolling away.

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 GLE (2022) - 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:

  • flashing the brake lamps
  • activating the hazard warning lights (→ page 55)

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.

ATTENTION ASSIST

Function of ATTENTION ASSIST

ATTENTION ASSIST assists you on long, monotonous journeys, e.g. on motorways and trunk roads. If indicators of fatigue or increasing lapses in concentration on the part of the driver are detected, the system 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-res-

ted 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 driver's 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 GLE (2022) - Function of ATTENTION ASSIST - 1

text_image ATTENTION ASSIST 1

The following information is displayed in the driver's display:

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

The more segments ① of the circle displayed, the higher the detected attention level. Fewer segments ② are displayed in the circle as the attention level decreases.

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 driver's display, the multimedia system offers to search for a rest area. You can select a rest area and start navigation to this rest area.

When you restart the vehicle, ATTENTION ASSIST is automatically switched on. The last selected sensitivity level remains stored.

System limits

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

If the system is not available due to an error, the ATTENTION ASSIST warning light lights up continuously in the driver display.

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 clock is set to the incorrect time.
  • If you change lanes and vary your speed frequently in active driving situations.

Also observe any information regarding display messages that can be displayed in the driver's display.

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

  • You switch off the vehicle.
  • 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

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Cruise control and limiter - 1

Function of cruise control

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

If you accelerate to overtake, forexample, 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 343).

Mercedes-AMG vehicles: cruise control is available up to a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

Displays in the driver's display

- (grey): cruise control is selected but not yet active, or temporarily passive.

• (green): cruise control is active.

A stored speed appears under the ☑ display and is indicated 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.
  • when visibility is poor

F167 0009 02

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - System limits - 1

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 a short-term speed restriction, e.g. in built-up areas
  • Permanent: for a longer-term speed restriction, e.g. in winter tyre mode

You can store any speed above 20 km/h up to the maximum design speed 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 343).

Mercedes-AMG vehicles: the limiter is available up to a maximum speed of 250 km/h.

Displays in the driver's 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 under the LIM display and is indicated in the speedometer.

If you depress the accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point (kickdown), the variable limiter switches to passive mode. The message LIM passive appears in the driver's display and the display LIM flashes.

The variable limiter is reactivated 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

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident due to stored speed

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Function of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC DISTRONIC Active Distance Assist maintains the set speed when driving freely. If vehicles are detected ahead, the set distance is maintained, if necessary until the vehicle comes to a standstill. The vehicle accelerates or brakes depending on the distance to the vehicle in front and the set speed. The speed and distance to the vehicle in front are set and saved using the steering wheel. Available speed range:

• Vehicles without Driving Assistance Package: 20 km/h - 160 km/h

F167 0009 02

• Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: 20 km/h - 210 km/h

Other features of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC:

  • Adjusts the driving style depending on the selected drive program (fuel-saving, comfortable or dynamic)
  • Initiates acceleration to the stored speed if the turn signal indicator is switched on to change to the overtaking lane
    • Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package:

  • Reacts to stationary vehicles detected in urban speed ranges (except bicycles and motorcycles)

  • Takes one-sided overtaking restrictions into account on motorways or on multi-lane roads with separate carriageways (country-dependent)

Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package and Parking Package: 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 detected 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 343).

If you leave the driver's seat while the vehicle is being braked by Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC only, the vehicle can roll away.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Pulling away with Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC - 2

Always deactivate Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and secure the vehicle to prevent it from rolling away before you leave the driver's seat.

Press CANCEL.

If you brake, deactivate ESP® or if ESP® intervenes, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactivated. The variable limiter is not deactivated.

Function of Active Speed Limit Assist

If a change in the speed limit of 20 km/h or more is detected and automatic adoption of speed limits is activated, the new speed limit is automatically adopted as the stored speed ( page 382).

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 driver's 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 343).

System limits

The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to the detection of traffic signs ( page 380).

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 GLE (2022) - 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.

You can watch an animation on this topic via the following link:

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 367).

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 (→ page 533))

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 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, forexample at toll stations
• 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

Function of Active Stop-and-Go Assist

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

Active Stop-and-Go 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 343).

Active Traffic Jam Assist activates automatically as soon as all of the requirements are met: The status display [icon] appears in the driver's display 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 362).
    • Active Brake Assist is available ( page 373).
    • Active Steering Assist is activated and active( page 372).
    • You are travelling no faster than 60 km/h.

System limits

The system limitations of Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC and Active Steering Assist apply to Active Traffic Jam Assist.

DSR (Downhill Speed Regulation)

Function of the DSR system

DSR is an aid to assist you when driving downhill. It keeps the speed of travel at the selected target speed. The steeper the downhill gradient, the greater the D S R braking effect on the vehicle. On flat stretches of road and uphill gradients, the DSR brakes the vehicle minimally or not at all.

When DSR is activated and the transmission is in position D, R or N, DSR controls the driving speed. The target speed can be set to a value between 2 km/h and 18 km/h. By braking or

accelerating, you can drive at a higher or lower speed than the target speed at any time. If you drive faster than 45 km/h or change the driving programme (except in /), DSR switches off automatically. The off message appears in the driver's display. The status indicator in the driver's display goes out. You also hear a warning tone.

Information on DSR

WARNING Risk of skidding and accident when DSR is activated on slippery road surfaces

If the driven speed and the target speed differ, the wheels may lose traction.

Take into account the road surface and the difference between the driving speed and target speed before activating DSR.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 343).

You are always responsible for keeping control of the vehicle and for assessing whether the downhill

F167 0009 02

gradient can be negotiated. Depending on road surface and tyres, DSR may not always be able to keep to the target speed. Select a target speed suitable for the environmental conditions and also apply the brakes yourself if required.

Switching DSR on/off (with Offroad package or E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL)

Requirements:

• You are driving at 40 km/h or slower.
If the speed driven is too high, the message Max. speed 40 km/h appears in the driver's display.

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, forexample, 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.

    During the transition from active to passive status, the symbol is shown as enlarged and flashing. When the passive state is reached, the symbol is displayed in grey.
    (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 GLE (2022) - Steering and touch detection - 1

natural_image Top-down view of a car steering wheel with hands, no visible text or symbols

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 the warning for a considerable period, the system can initiate an emergency stop ( page 372).

The warning does not occur or stops as soon as the system detects that the driver is touching or steering the steering wheel.

The touch detection may be limited or without function if there is no direct contact between the

hand and the steering wheel, e.g. when wearing gloves or if there is a steering wheel cover on the steering wheel.

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 343).

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 in the following instances:

  • 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, forexample, 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.

The system does not provide assistance in the following conditions:

• 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.

- Vehicles with E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL: in driving programme CV and in inclination level 2 and 3

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident if Active Steering Assist unexpectedly stops functioning

If the system limits of Active Steering Assist are reached there is no guarantee that the system will remain active or will keep the vehicle in lane.

Always keep your hands on the steering wheel and observe the traffic carefully.
▶ Always steer the vehicle paying attention to traffic conditions.

⚠ WARNING Risk of accident if Active Steering Assist unexpectedly intervenes

The detection of lane markings and objects may malfunction and cause unexpected steering interventions.

▶ Steer according to traffic conditions.

Function of Active Emergency Stop Assist
Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Requirements: - 1

natural_image Front view of a Mercedes-Benz car dashboard with hands and steering wheel (no visible text or symbols)

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, or gives no confirmation to the system, a warning tone sounds in addition to the visual warning message.

If the driver still does not respond to the warning, the message Beginning emergency stop appears in the driver display. If the driver still does not respond, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC reduces the speed. The vehicle is decelerated in stages to a standstill.

Depending on the country, at speeds below 60 km/h the hazard warning lights switch on automatically.

When the vehicle is stationary, the following actions are carried out:

  • The vehicle is secured with the electric parking brake.
    • Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is ended.
    • The vehicle is unlocked.
  • If possible, an emergency call is placed to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre.

The driver can cancel the deceleration at any time by performing one of the following actions:

  • Steering
  • Braking or accelerating
    • Deactivating Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC

Active Brake Assist

Function of Active Brake Assist

Active Brake Assist consists of the following functions:

• Distance warning function
- Collision warning
• Autonomous braking function
• Situation-dependent brake force boosting
- 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 △ Active Brake Assist warning lamp lights up.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of Active Brake Assist - 1

natural_image Side-by-side comparison of a car on a road, showing two views with numbered annotations (1 and 2) highlighting the lane and side profile.

In the Assistance menu, an insufficient distance ① to the vehicle in front is displayed in red. If you further reduce the distance, the vehicle in front is also highlighted in red. When the system detects a risk of collision, red radar waves ② appear in front of the vehicle.

Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: depending on the country, an additional haptic warning occurs in the form of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat belt.

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 brake force boosting 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 343).

If autonomous braking or situation-dependent brake force boosting has occurred, pop up ① appears in the driver's display and then automatically goes out after a short time.

If the autonomous braking function or situation-dependent brake force boosting is triggered, additional preventive measures for occupant protection (PRE-SAFE ^® ) may also be initiated.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of Active Brake Assist - 3

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. In such cases, Active Brake Assist might:

• Give a warning or brake without reason
• Not give a warning or not brake

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.

Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation; do not rely on Active Brake Assist alone.
Be prepared to brake or swerve if necessary.

If Active Brake Assist is deactivated or the functions are restricted, e.g. due to activation of another driving system, the OFF display message appears in the driver's display.

If the system is unavailable due to dirty or damaged sensors or due to a fault, or if the functions are restricted, the warning lamp appears in the driver's display.

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 too close for the driven speed, the △ distance warning lamp lights up in the driver's display.
  • 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 driver's display.

Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: depending on the country, an additional haptic warning occurs in the form of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat belt.

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

Collision warning (vehicles without Driving Assistance Package)

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

- 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 driver's display.

Vehicles with PRE-SAFE®: depending on the country, an additional haptic warning occurs in the form of slight, repeated tensioning of the seat belt.

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

You can watch an animation on this topic via the following link:

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 the system detects a risk of a collision with an oncoming vehicle 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 GLE (2022) - 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 short time after switching on the vehicle or after driving off. Depending on the environmental conditions, it may take a few minutes before full system performance is available.

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.
  • If DSR is active.
  • 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 uses OpenStreetMap data, which is made available under the conditions of the Open Database License (OBbL). For more information, see: https://www.osmfoundation.org/wiki/licence.

Speed Limit Assist detects speed limits with multifunction camera and displays them in the driver's display 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 343).

Warning when the maximum permissible speed is exceeded

The system can warn you if you unintentionally exceed the maximum permissible speed. Depending on the country, you can set in the multimedia system by how much the maximum permitted speed may be exceeded before a warning is given. You can specify whether the warning is to be just a visual warning or an acoustic one as well.

2 Permissible speed when there is a restriction
3 Additional sign with restriction
Traffic signs which have an impact on the maximum permissible speed, e.g. signs indicating the beginning or end of dual carriageways, can also be detected.

The system can show up to two traffic signs in the driver's display simultaneously. The system always prioritises displaying speed limits. Up to one traffic sign with a maximum permissible speed can be shown in the head-up display. If two speed signs

are shown in the driver's display, forexample when speed limits are detected, the value of left-hand speed limit is transmitted to the limiter, cruise control or Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC for adoption and is shown in the head-up display. If Speed Limit Assist cannot determine the current maximum permissible speed (e.g. due to missing signs), the following display appears in the driver's display:

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Function of Speed Limit Assist - 2

This is displayed continuously if the vehicle is in a country where Speed Limit Assist is not supported. Speed Limit Assist is not available in all countries.

i Please also note the information on the display messages ( page 817).

System limits

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

  • If visibility is poor, e.g. due to insufficient illumination of the road, highly variable shade conditions, rain, snow, fog, swirling dust 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 vicinity of the multifunction camera or if the camera is misted up, damaged or obscured.
  • if the traffic signs are difficult to see because, forexample, they are dirty, obscured, faded, iced over, damaged, inconveniently positioned, insufficiently illuminated or distorted.
  • Active traffic signs with LED displays may not be detected correctly or at all due to technical factors, such as transmission frequency.
  • if the signs, road markings or road layout are ambiguous, e.g. in the case of traffic signs in construction sites, at exits and driveways, in the case of adjacent lanes or parallel roads, in

the case of pedestrian crossing markings at traffic lights

  • if the signage or road markings do not comply with the standard
  • if the signage, road markings or road guidance is country-specific and deviates from the route guidance of the navigation system, e.g. in or after road works
  • After sharp turns and tight bends, when traffic signs are outside the camera's field of vision.
  • If you overtake vehicles with traffic signs which are affixed or attached to them.
  • If you are using transport equipment secured with a trailer coupling, such as a bicycle rack, the system may react to restrictions for car/trailer combinations.

i Further information about Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC ( page 362).

Traffic Sign Assist

Function of Traffic Sign Assist

Traffic Sign Assist detects traffic signs with the multifunction camera ( page 343). It supports you by showing detected speed limits and overtaking bans in the driver's display.

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 343).

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 restric-

tion 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. Depending on the country, you can set in the multimedia system by how much the maximum permitted speed may be exceeded before a warning is given. You can specify whether the warning is to be just a visual warning or an acoustic one as well.

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.

Status display:

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

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 Active Blind Spot Assist

Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to the following:

  • if you overtake a vehicle too closely so that it is in the blind spot area
  • if vehicles travelling at a much faster speed approach and then overtake

Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings or intervene in such situations.

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

Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognise dangers ( page 343).

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 persons or road users 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 vehicle 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.

WARNING Risk of accident despite Active Blind Spot Assist

Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to the following:

  • if you overtake a vehicle too closely so that it is in the blind spot area
  • if vehicles travelling at a much faster speed approach and then overtake

Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings or intervene in such situations.

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

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 343) and can warn you before you leave your lane unintentionally. The system can guide you back into your lane through a course-correcting steering intervention and additionally warns you with vibration pulses in the steering wheel. Active Lane Keeping Assist is available in the speed range between approximately 60 km/h and 210 km/h.

The system can intervene in the following situations:

R Active Lane Keeping Assist detects a lane marking.
R One of your front wheels goes over a lane marking.

If you activate the turn signal indicator, a steering intervention does not occur on the corresponding side.

If you leave the lane without activating the turn signal indicator, but danger of a collision with a moving obstacle is detected in your lane, a steering intervention does not occur.

Vehicles with Blind Spot Assist or Driving Assistance Package: if the system detects an obstacle, such as another vehicle in the adjacent lane, a steering intervention will occur regardless of the turn signal indicator.

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL

Function of E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is an electrohydraulic suspension system with variable damping for improved driving comfort. The all-round level control system ensures the best possible suspension and constant ground clearance, even with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed, the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driving safety and to reduce energy consumption. The suspension setting is adjusted depending on the road condition, vehicle load and the drive program selected. You also have the option of manually adjusting the vehicle level.

The ROAD SURFACE SCAN function detects areas of unevenness in the road before you drive over

F167 0009 02

them by means of a multifunction camera. This reduces chassis movements.

The damping is adjusted individually to each wheel and depends on the following factors:

  • Driving style, e.g. sporty
    • Road condition, e.g. bumps
  • Drive program

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is comprised of the following functions and components:

• Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: ROAD SURFACE SCAN
• Curve inclination function CURVE
- Recovery mode
• Individual wheel control
• Air suspension with automatic level control
• Speed-dependent lowering of the vehicle level
- A higher vehicle level can be selected for greater ground clearance using the vehicle level button (☐ rocker switch)

System limits

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL may not be available or have only limited availability in the following cases:

- The overheating protection has been activated due to frequent level changes within a short time. The warning lamp appears in the driver's display.

After the cooling phase, the system is again available without restriction.

Function of ROAD SURFACE SCAN

This function is not available in all countries. The ROAD SURFACE SCAN function monitors the road in front of your vehicle using a multifunction camera ( page 343). ROAD SURFACE SCAN detects unevenness in the road surface, e.g. bumps, before the vehicle drives over them. Chassis movements are reduced and driving comfort is increased.

ROAD SURFACE SCAN is automatically activated if the following conditions are met:

- Drive program [C] or [CV] is selected.

• The vehicle is set to the normal level.
- You are driving at a speed between 7 km/h and 180 km/h.

System limits

ROAD SURFACE SCAN can be impaired in the following situations or can stop functioning:

  • If the carriageway is insufficiently lit, e.g. at night.
  • In snow, rain, fog, heavy spray, if there is glare, in direct sunlight or in greatly varying light conditions.
  • If the windscreen in the area of multifunction camera is dirty, misted up, damaged or covered.
  • If the road surface has no optic structure or reflects light.
  • If you are driving too close to the vehicle in front.
  • If sections of the route have a very small radius of curvature.
  • During abrupt driving manoeuvres, e.g. heavy braking or sudden acceleration.

Observe the notes on cleaning the multifunction camera ( page 625).

Function of recovery mode

WARNING Risk of injury due to the vehicle moving up and down

During recovery mode, the vehicle moves up and down and can cause injuries.

When activating recovery mode, make certain that no one is in the vicinity of the vehicle.

NOTE Risk of damage due to the vehicle moving up and down

When recovery mode is activated, the vehicle suspension automatically moves in and out thus moving the vehicle up and down. Bottoming out can damage the underbody.

Make sure there is sufficient ground clearance when activating recovery mode.

Recovery mode is a function of the suspension which can assist the driver on loose surfaces (e.g. sand, snow) when freeing a vehicle which has become stuck.

The vehicle body rocks in slow, vertical motions when recovery mode has been activated. This temporarily puts the wheels under greater load, which means they have increased traction and the vehicle is freed.

You can activate free driving mode via Off-road Assist ( page 407).

Function of individual wheel control

WARNING Risk of becoming trapped due to the vehicle lowering

The vehicle can be lowered when the individual wheel control function has been activated. Body parts could become trapped if they are between the vehicle body and the tyres or underneath the vehicle.

Make sure that nobody is under the vehicle or in the immediate vicinity of the

wheel arches when individual wheel control is activated.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - System limits - 1

NOTE Risk of damage due to the vehicle moving up and down

The vehicle can be lowered or raised on one or more wheels when the individual wheel control function has been activated. Vehicle parts could be damaged due to contact with objects.

▶ Make sure that the vehicle has sufficient room to move when the individual wheel control function has been activated.

Individual wheel control is a function of the suspension, which can be used to set the vehicle level for each wheel individually. This can help to improve alignment of the body when driving off-road.

You can activate individual wheel control via Off-road Assist ( page 407).

Adjusting the vehicle level (vehicles with E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL)

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - System limits - 2

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

Function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance system which monitors the area surrounding your vehicle and shows you the distance between the vehicle and a detected obstacle visually and audibly.

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC 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 there are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exit-ing parking spaces.

The passive side impact protection also warns you of obstacles to the side. 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. 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.

In order for front or rear obstacles to the side to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles on all sides can be shown.

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 of the vehicle.

Active Parking Assist offers the following functions:

Vehicles with reversing camera

- Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road

Vehicles with 360° Camera

  • Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
  • Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to the road (optionally either forwards or reverse)
  • Parking in parking spaces that can only be detected as such due to markings (forexample at the roadside)
  • Exiting parking spaces if you have parked using Active Parking Assist

As soon as all requirements for the search of parking spaces are fulfilled, the message 📄 appears in the driver's display.

When Active Parking Assist has detected parking spaces, the indicator appears in the driver's display. The arrows indicate on which side of the lane there are detected parking spaces, these are then shown in the central display.

Vehicles with reversing camera: the parking space can be selected as desired. The vehicle is parked in reverse.

Vehicles with 360° Camera: 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.

The parking procedure is assisted by accelerating, 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 Manoeuvering 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:

  • You begin steering.
    • You set the electric parking brake.
  • You engage park position P.
  • ESP® intervenes.
  • You open the doors or the tailgate while driving.

System limits

If the exterior lighting is faulty, the active parking assistant may be out of function, depending on the defect.

Also observe the system limits of the following systems:

• Reversing camera ( page 408)
• 360° Camera (→ page 410)

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.

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.

There is a danger of 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 incorrectly.

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.

Active Parking Assist may also display parking spaces that are not suitable for parking, such as:

  • Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
  • Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.

To adjust the articulation angle: select ③. In the central display, swipe the entire area of the camera image to the left or right to change the bend angle.

or

To activate the straightening manoeuvre: select ①.

The system calculates the articulation angle in such a way that the direction of the trailer at the time of activation is maintained. There is a short countersteering movement of the trailer while the vehicle is reversed, which then guides it back to the desired line. In this way, the vehicle is aligned straight with the trailer and, at the same time, the direction of the trailer is maintained.

or

To activate the 90° manoeuvre:

  • Align the vehicle in the same direction (line) as the trailer.
  • Select (left or right) ②.

The system calculates the articulation angle so that the trailer can be manoeuvred into a space perpendicular to the vehicle using the smallest possible angle. After the manoeuvre, the vehicle is aligned again in the direction of the trailer.

▶ Accelerate and brake as required.

The maximum articulation angle depends on the length of the trailer. This is calculated by the system by driving the vehicle forwards, including cornering. Before the length of the trailer has been calculated, the maximum articulation angle is approximately 23°. The longer the trailer is, the higher the maximum articulation angle (max. approximately 60°).
Pay attention to your surroundings and be ready to brake at all times.

Bicycle rack function

WARNING Risk of an accident if the bicycle rack is used incorrectly

The bicycle rack may become detached from the vehicle in the following cases:

  • the permissible load capacity of the trailer hitch is exceeded.
    • the bicycle rack is used incorrectly.
  • the bicycle rack is secured to the ball neck beneath the ball head.

Observe the following for your own safety and that of other road users:

• always adhere to the permissible load capacity of the trailer hitch.
- always observe the permissible rear axle load of the towing vehicle.
- use the bicycle rack only to transport bicycles.

  • always mount the bicycle rack properly by attaching to the ball head and the ball neck guide pin, if possible.
  • when transporting four bicycles, always use bicycle racks that have additional support on the ball neck guide pin.
    • use only bicycle racks approved by Mercedes-Benz.
    • always observe the bicycle rack operating instructions.

NOTE Damage to or breakage of the trailer hitch due to unsuitable or improperly used bicycle rack.
Only use bicycle racks approved by Mercedes-Benz properly as described below.
NOTE Increased risk of damage to property due to folded-out ball neck
When the trailer is not coupled or the bicycle rack is attached, fold in the ball

neck or, in the case of a fully electric trailer hitch, retract the ball neck.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Bicycle rack function - 1

NOTE The operating permit may be invalidated due to the illegal installation of trailer hitches

The installation - including retrofitting - of a non-folding or non-removable trailer hitch that even partially conceals the license plate or the lighting system is prohibited.

Observe the applicable legal regulations for the installation of trailer hitches.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Bicycle rack function - 2

text_image Diagram of a car rearview showing the seatbelt and keyway, with numbered annotations pointing to the seatbelt component.

Trailer hitch 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 attachment to ball head Ⓐ, the maximum load capacity is 75 kg. You can transport up to three bicycles.

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

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

Observe the notes on driving with a roof load, trailer or fully laden vehicle ( page 275).

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 658).

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.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on loading - 1

text_image Diagram illustrating three stages of bicycle lane installation: top view, front view, and side view with labeled components.

Load distribution on the bicycle rack

Programme overview

  • Refresh: Can have a refreshing effect with short, cool puffs of air. The seat is ventilated, the vehicle interior is illuminated with cool colours and the programme is completed with appropriate sound.
  • Warmth: Can increase the comfort level for the vehicle occupants. Seat, surface and steering wheel heating provide soothing warmth. The programme is completed with unobtrusive sound and warm colours.
  • Vitality: Can counteract diminishing attentiveness in monotonous driving situations. The activating stimulation of the vehicle occupants is carried out with invigorating sound, activating light and a vitalising movement.
  • Joy: Can promote a positive mood in the vehicle occupants as well as mental regeneration. This results from the activation of a massage

programme, friendly sound and illumination with suitable colours.

  • Well-being: Can help relax the vehicle occupants. This is achieved through relaxing movement, friendly light and calming sound.
  • Forest Glade: Can have a calming and soothing effect on the vehicle occupants thanks to the acoustics of the forest. The ambience is supported by a suitable animation, colours and sound.
  • Sounds of the Sea: Can contribute to calming the vehicle occupants. The acoustics of the sound of waves and seagulls in combination with other vehicle functions create a relaxing seashore atmosphere.
  • Summer Rain: Can help relax the vehicle occupants. The relaxing effect of a rain shower can be experienced via acoustics and other vehicle functions inside the vehicle.
  • Power Nap: The programme consists of three phases.
  • Falling asleep phase: here relaxing music is played and the air is cleaned by ionisation.

  • Sleep phase: the active functions are deactivated or restricted as much as possible.

  • Waking phase: slightly stimulating music is played, and the air is purified with ionisation. Additionally, functions such as fragrancing, seat ventilation and massage are activated.
  • Training: Can counteract the onset of muscle tension, limbs falling asleep or stress with targeted relaxation or stimulation exercises. The exercises are demonstrated in short videos. The training consists of audio content and a brief animation. The audio content is conceived so that it can also be played back when you are driving. Animations are only shown when the vehicle is stationary. Always observe the traffic conditions if you are training when driving.
  • Tips: The system gives auditory tips for possible exercises or measures for improving the comfort level of the vehicle occupants. By selecting the desired area of the body you can

receive targeted tips for the comfort level of this area.

Notes on route guidance

WARNING Risk of distraction from operating integrated communication equipment while the vehicle is in motion

If you operate communication equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you could be distracted from the traffic situation. This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle. ▶ Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits.

If you cannot be sure of this, stop the vehicle whilst paying attention to road and traffic conditions and operate the equipment with the vehicle stationary.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating the multimedia system. Route guidance begins once a route has been calculated. The road and traffic rules and regulations always have priority over multimedia system driving instructions. Driving instructions are, for example navigation announcements, changes in direction and lane recommendations.

Changes in direction and lane recommendations are shown in the navigation window.

The following displays and functions are also available in the navigation window, for example:

  • Route list
  • Destination information
  • Traffic information, e.g. length of traffic jam, delay
  • Motorway facilities

  • Car park search
    • Emergency corridors

If you do not follow the driving instructions or if you leave the calculated route, a new route is calculated automatically.

If, for example, the route is diverted or the direction of a one-way road has been reversed, driving instructions may deviate from the actual traffic situation.

Alternatives may be offered during route guidance, e.g. before passing a motorway exit road. The additional driving time for the journey along the motorway exit is shown.

For this reason, you must always observe road and traffic rules and regulations during your journey as well as the prevailing traffic conditions.

The route can differ from the ideal route, for example in the event of roadworks or incomplete digital map data.

Notes on satellite reception

The correct function of the navigation system depends amongst other things on reception of the satellite system used. In certain situations satel-

lite reception can be impaired, malfunction or even not be possible, e.g. in tunnels or in multi-storey car parks.

Changing direction overview

Changes of direction are shown in the following displays:

• Detailed image of the junction
The display appears when you drive into a junction.
- 3D image

The display appears when driving on junction-free, multi-lane roads, for example at motorway exits and motorway interchanges.

There are three phases when changing direction:

- Preparation phase

If there is enough time between the changes of direction, the multimedia system prepares you for the upcoming change of direction. A

navigation announcement is issued, e.g. "Prepare to turn right".

The navigation window shows: the direction information or the name of the road which is to be turned into as well as the distance to the change of direction.

- Announcement phase

The multimedia system announces the upcoming change of direction, e.g. by announcing "Turn right in 300 m".

When the Auto zoom map orientation is switched off ( page 544), a detailed representation of the junction or a 3D image of the upcoming change in direction appears in the navigation window.

• Change-of-direction phase

The multimedia system announces the imminent change of direction, e.g. by announcing "Now turn right".

Example of 3D image: when the distance to manoeuvre point ① is shown with 0 m and the symbol for current vehicle position ④ has

reached manoeuvre point ① the change in direction is carried out.

Changes in direction are also displayed on the driver's display and head-up display.

Route guidance with current traffic reports

Traffic information overview

Current traffic reports are received with the Live Traffic Information subscription service.

If the subscription has expired, then FM RDS-TMC is available in selected countries.

i Live Traffic Information is not available in all countries.

The service must be registered in the Mercedes me user account ( page 534). This secures the free-of-charge period of three years.

The service updates the traffic situation via the Internet connection at short, regular intervals.

Information on the vehicle's position is regularly sent to Mercedes-Benz AG. The data is immediately rendered anonymous by Mercedes-Benz AG and forwarded to the traffic data provider. Using this data, traffic reports relevant to the vehicle's position are sent to the vehicle.

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 the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system 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 583).
  • 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 the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall)

Mercedes-Benz emergency call system 112 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 on the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) only, 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 the 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.

- If the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre is not 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 accident site in places that are difficult to access.

Both emergency call systems can initiate an emergency call automatically ( page 582) or manually ( page 582).

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.

Indicators in the displays

The following messages appear on the central display or the media display of both emergency call systems:

  • SOS NOT READY: the vehicle is not switched on or the emergency call system is malfunctioning. This does not necessarily indicate complete failure of the emergency call system. Emergency calls can 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 vehicle is switched on.

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

If there is a malfunction of the emergency call system, the loudspeakers, microphone, airbag or the SOS button, for example, are faulty.

You can recognise a fault in the emergency call system by the following displays:

  • A corresponding message will also appear in the driver's display.
    • The SOS button lights up red continuously.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Indicators in the displays - 1

Triggering an automatic emergency call

Requirements

• The vehicle is switched on.
• The starter battery is sufficiently charged.

Both the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system as well as the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) automatically initiate an emergency call:

The emergency call has been made:

• A voice connection is established with the emergency call centre.
- A message with accident data is transmitted to the emergency call centre.

The SOS button in the overhead control panel flashes until the emergency call is finished. If no connection can be made to the public emergency services, a corresponding message appears in the display.

▶ Dial the emergency number 112 or the appropriate local emergency call number on your mobile phone.

If an emergency call has been initiated:

  • Remain in the vehicle if the road and traffic conditions permit you to do so until a voice connection is established with the emergency call centre.
  • On the basis of the call, the emergency call centre decides whether it is necessary to call rescue teams and/or the police to the accident site.
  • If no vehicle occupant answers, an ambulance is sent to the vehicle immediately.

If no connection can be made to the public emergency services, a corresponding message appears in the display.

Dial the emergency number 112 or the appropriate local emergency call number on your mobile phone.

Emergency call system data transfer For both the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system as well as the 112 emergency call system (EU

eCall) data is transferred to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre or the public emergency services call centre.

Depending on the emergency call system ( page 579) activated different data is transmitted to the appropriate emergency call centre.

Transmitted data according to activated emergency call system:

Mercedes-Benz emergency call 112 emergency call
Position data of the vehiclePosition data on the route (a few 100 m before the incident)Direction of travelVehicle identification numberDrive type of the vehicle (e.g. petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG, electric or hydrogen)Number of people detected in the vehicleWhether the emergency call was initiated manually or automaticallyTime of the accidentLanguage setting on the multimedia systemWhether Mercedes me connect is available or notThis is a requirement for the option of forwarding the call to the Mercedes-Benz Customer Centre if necessary.Position data of the vehiclePosition data on the route (a few 100 m before the incident)Direction of travelVehicle identification numberDrive type of the vehicle (e.g. petrol, diesel, CNG, LPG, electric or hydrogen)Number of people detected in the vehicleWhether the emergency call was initiated manually or automaticallyTime of the accident

If only the 112 emergency call system (EU eCall) is activated in the vehicle, the accident data is transmitted directly to the public emergency call centre.

For accident clarification purposes, the following measures can be taken up to an hour after the emergency call has been initiated:

  • The current vehicle position can be determined.
  • A voice connection to the vehicle occupants can be established.
    • Emergency call data can be called up.

For Russia: various functions, e.g. receiving traffic information, cannot be performed for up to two hours after sending an emergency call.

Self-diagnosis function of the emergency call system

Your vehicle checks the functionality of the emergency call system every time the vehicle is switched on. During this time, the SOS button lights up red continuously for five seconds. In the event of a system failure, you will be informed via a text message on the driver's display and the red SOS NOT READY indicator on the central display or media display.

Please, make sure, that during 30 seconds after switching vehicle ON the red indicator SOS NOT READY in the upper right corner of display is switched OFF, this means the emergency call system passed diagnostics successfully.

ASSYST PLUS service interval display

Function of the ASSYST PLUS service interval display

The ASSYST PLUS service interval display on the driver's display provides information on the remaining time or distance before the next service due date.

You can hide this service display using the back button ↩ on the steering wheel.

Depending on how the vehicle is used, the ASSYST PLUS service interval display may shorten the service interval, e.g. in the following cases:

  • Mainly short-distance driving
  • When the engine is often left idling for long periods
    • In the event of frequent cold start phases
  • Vehicles with diesel particulate filters: in the event of frequently interrupted regeneration of the diesel particulate filter

Mercedes-Benz recommends avoiding such operating conditions.

You can obtain information concerning the servicing of your vehicle from a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Displaying the service due date

Driver's display:

Service

The next service due date is displayed.

To exit the display: press the back button on the steering wheel.

Information on regular maintenance work

NOTE Premature wear through failure to observe service due dates

Maintenance work which is not carried out at the right time or incompletely can lead to increased wear and damage to the vehicle.

Adhere to the prescribed service intervals.

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

Notes on special service requirements

The prescribed service interval is based on normal operation of the vehicle. Have the maintenance work carried out more often than prescribed if operating conditions are difficult or the vehicle is subject to increased stress.

The ASSYST PLUS service interval display is only an aid. It is the responsibility of the driver of the vehicle to have maintenance work carried out more often than prescribed due to actual operating conditions and/or stresses.

Examples of arduous operating conditions:

• Regular city driving with frequent intermediate stops
- Mainly short-distance driving
- Frequent operation in mountainous terrain or on poor road surfaces

  • When the engine is often left idling for long periods
    • Operation in particularly dusty conditions and/or if air-recirculation mode is frequently used

In these or similar operating conditions, have the interior air filter, air filter, engine oil and oil filter, for example, changed more frequently. Check the tyres more frequently if the vehicle is operated under increased stress. Further information can be obtained at a qualified specialist workshop.

Battery disconnection periods

The ASSYST PLUS service interval display can calculate the service due date only when the battery is connected.

Display and note down the service due date on the driver display before disconnecting the battery ( page 610).

Maintenance Management

Notes about Maintenance Management

If the Maintenance Management service is activated, relevant data is automatically transferred to the Mercedes-Benz customer centre.

The customer centre transmits the data to the service partner that you have entered on the Mercedes me website at: http://www.mercedes.me. You will then receive individual recommendations regarding the maintenance of your vehicle.

The calculation of the optimal transmission time of the maintenance request to the service partner is subject to technical limitations that may cause the maintenance recommendation to be perceived as too early or too late or not to be made at all. In this case, you can conveniently arrange a maintenance appointment with the customer centre via the maintenance reminder in the multimedia system.

① Maintenance Management and the maintenance reminder in the multimedia system are not available in every country. Contact a

F167 0009 02

Mercedes-Benz service centre to find out whether this function is available in your country.

Data transferred when using Maintenance Management

When the service is activated, relevant data is automatically transferred to determine the required scope of maintenance as well as fault detection and fault rectification.

Details on data transfer can be found in the data protection information for the Mercedes me connect services. These can be found at: https://www.mercedes.me under "My Mercedes me account", "Terms of use".

① Maintenance Management and the maintenance reminder in the multimedia system are not available in every country.

Telediagnostics

Notes about Telediagnostics

① This service is not available in all countries.

The vehicle can detect if certain wear parts need to be replaced or if malfunctions have occurred in vehicle systems. If the Telediagnostics service is activated, relevant data is automatically transmitted to the manufacturer. If fault conditions are detected by the vehicle system self-diagnosis, the system transmits recommendations for action to the Mercedes-Benz customer centre depending on the fault detected. The customer centre transmits the data to the service partner that you have entered on the Mercedes me website at: http://www.mercedes.me.

For selected faults, the notification that a malfunction has been detected may appear in the multimedia system with a request to contact the Mercedes-Benz Customer Centre. From this message, a call can be made directly to the customer centre for assistance.

The transmission of a notification to the multimedia system depends on the country, vehicle model and equipment and requires a fast data connection, over which the service provider has no influence.
① Reliable fault detection is subject to technical limitations. Therefore, only a limited selection

of faults can be detected and recommendations for action transmitted to the customer centre and the service partners. Mercedes-Benz AG is continuously working on the expansion of this service. The fault detection depends on the country, vehicle model and equipment.

Data transferred when using Telediagnostics

When the service is activated, relevant data is automatically transferred to determine the required scope of maintenance as well as fault detection and fault rectification.

Details on data transfer can be found in the data protection information for the Mercedes me connect services. These can be found at: https://www.mercedes.me under "My Mercedes me account", "Terms of use".

The scope of the data transmitted depends on the vehicle model and equipment. For technical reasons, not all data is available at all times.

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

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres - 1

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.

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres - 2

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 657).

• 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

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on snow chains - 1

WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrectly fitted snow chains

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

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

NOTE Damage to components of the vehicle body or chassis due to fitted snow chains

If you fit snow chains to the front wheels of 4MATIC vehicles, you may damage components of the vehicle body or chassis.

Only fit snow chains to the rear wheels of 4MATIC vehicles.

  • 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.
  • Comply with the installation instructions of the snow chain manufacturer.
  • 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.
    (i) You can permanently limit the maximum speed for driving with winter tyres ( page 359).
    ① You can deactivate ESP ^® to pull away ( page 350). 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

Underinflated or overinflated tyres pose in particular the following risks:

• The tyres can burst.
- The tyres can wear excessively and/or unevenly.

  • The driving characteristics as well as the steering and braking characteristics may be greatly impaired.
    Comply with the recommended tyre pressure and check the tyre pressure of all tyres, including the spare wheel, regularly:
  • monthly
  • when the load changes
    • before embarking on a longer journey
  • if operating conditions change, e.g. off-road driving
    Adjust the tyre pressure, if 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 658).

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 a tyre pressure monitoring system: you can also see the tyre pressure in the driver's display ( page 659).

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 GLE (2022) - Tyre pressure table - 1

text_image 100 kPa = 1 bar 风道桥 风道桥 风道桥 A 213 584 37 03 kPa psi kPa psi 风道桥 风道桥 风道桥 1234567

The tyre pressure table shows the recommended tyre pressure for all tyres approved for this vehicle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for cold tyres under various operating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speed of the vehicle.

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 [icon] 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. The 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 driver's display.

If there is a substantial pressure loss or if the tyre temperature is excessive, you will be warned with display messages (→ page 898) or the warning lamp in the driver's display (→ page 927).

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.

In most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring system 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 660).

System limits

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

  • incorrect reference values were taught in
  • 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 vehicle is switched on.

Notes on selecting, fitting and replacing tyres

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on selecting, fitting and replacing tyres - 1

WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect wheel and tyre dimensions

If wheels and tyres of the wrong size are fitted, the service brakes or components in the brake system and in the wheel suspension may be damaged.

Always replace wheels and tyres with those that fulfil the specifications of the original part.

For wheels, pay attention to the following:

  • Designation
  • Type

For tyres, pay attention to the following:

  • Designation
  • Manufacturer
  • Type

A 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 caused by non-approved tyre types and sizes

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 active safety systems, such as ABS, ESP® 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)

Otherwise, certain properties, such as handling characteristics, vehicle noise emissions, consumption, etc. could 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 wheel and tyre damage when driving over obstacles

Large wheels have a smaller section width. As the section width decreases, the risk of wheels and tyres being damaged when driving over obstacles increases.

Avoid obstacles or drive especially carefully.
▶ Reduce your speed when driving over kerbs, speed bumps, manhole covers and potholes.
Avoid particularly high kerbs.

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

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

▶ Only park on level surfaces if possible.
▶ Avoid kerbs and potholes when parking.

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

Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system: there are electronic component parts in the wheel.

If tyre-fitting tools are positioned in the area of the valve, the electronic components could be damaged.

▶ Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve.
Always have tyres changed at a qualified specialist workshop.

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 which are not approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or which are not 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

The special tyre tread in combination with the optimised tyre compound means that the risk of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is increased.

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

Switch on the ESP® and adapt your driving style accordingly.

Use M+S tyres at outside temperatures of less than 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 axle (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 provide the best possible grip in wintry road conditions.

  • For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same tread.
  • Observe the maximum permissible speed for the M+S tyres fitted.

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.

(i) You can permanently limit the maximum speed for driving with winter tyres ( page 359).

For more information on wheels and tyres, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Vehicles with AMG Driver's Package

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

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.

Observe the instructions and safety notes on "Changing a wheel" ( page 660)

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 5,000 to 10,000 km, depending on the wear. Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for the wheels.

Notes on storing wheels

When storing wheels, observe the following notes:

• After removing wheels, store them in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.
- Protect the tyres from contact with oil, grease or fuel.

Overview of the tyre-change tool kit

AdBlue ^® (vehicles with a diesel engine only)

Notes on AdBlue®

Observe the notes on operating fluids ( page 786).

AdBlue® is a water-soluble fluid for the NOx exhaust gas aftertreatment of diesel engines.

It may be improper or punishable in some countries to operate a vehicle that uses no AdBlue ^® or one that does not comply with the specifications of this Owner's Manual.

NOTE Malfunctions due to the dilution of AdBlue® or the use of additive-enhanced AdBlue®

The function of the NOx exhaust gas after-treatment can be impaired by the use of unsuitable denoxification agents.

Only use AdBlue ^® in accordance with ISO 22241.
Do not dilute AdBlue ^® with water.
Do not use additive-enhanced AdBlue®.

NOTE Damage and malfunctions due to impurities in AdBlue ^®

Consequences of impurities in AdBlue®:

• increased emission values
• damage to the catalytic converter
- NOx exhaust gas aftertreatment malfunctions
Avoid impurities in AdBlue®.

AdBlue ^® residues crystallise after a period of time, and contaminate the surfaces with which they come into contact. Clean the dirty surfaces with water as soon as possible.

When you open the AdBlue ^® tank, small amounts of ammonia vapour may escape. Do not inhale any ammonia vapours that may be released. Only fill the AdBlue ^® tank in well-ventilated areas.

AdBlue ^® consumption

The average AdBlue ^® consumption is between 1% and 5% of fuel consumption. Like fuel consumption, AdBlue ^® consumption is highly dependent upon driving style and operating conditions. For this reason, your vehicle's actual consumption figures in day-to-day operating conditions may differ from the average consumption figures calculated. The frequency at which you will have to top up AdBlue ^® will also vary. Have the AdBlue ^® supply checked at a qualified specialist workshop before making journeys outside Europe. Before a longer stay outside Europe, consult a qualified specialist workshop.

AdBlue ^® fill level and range

You can have the AdBlue ^® range and level displayed on the driver's display.

The AdBlue ^® range shown depends strongly on the driving style and operating conditions.

The actual range may therefore differ from the range currently displayed on the driver's display.

The information supplied in the Owner's Manual regarding the reserve quantity at the first warning on the driver's display and the minimum top-up quantity when the AdBlue ^® tank is empty is also to be understood as guide values.

Notes on brake fluid

Observe the notes on operating fluids ( page 786).

Mercedes-Benz GLE (2022) - Notes on brake fluid - 1

WARNING Risk of an accident due to vapour pockets forming in the brake system

The brake fluid constantly absorbs moisture from the air. This lowers the boiling point of the brake fluid. If the boiling point is too low, vapour pockets may form in the brake system when the brakes are applied hard.

This impairs the braking effect.

Have the brake fluid renewed at the specified intervals.

Have the brake fluid regularly replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.

Only use a brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz according to MB-Freigabe or MB-Approval 331.0.

Coolant

Notes on coolant

Observe the notes on operating fluids ( page 786).

WARNING Risk of fire- and injury from antifreeze

If antifreeze comes into contact with hot component parts in the engine compartment, it may ignite.

Allow the engine to cool down before you top up the antifreeze.
Make sure that no antifreeze spills out next to the filler opening.
Thoroughly clean the antifreeze from component parts before starting the vehicle.

NOTE Damage caused by incorrect coolant

Only use coolant that has been premixed with the required antifreeze protection.

Information on coolant is available at the following locations:

• In the Mercedes-Benz Specification for Operating Fluids 320.1
At https://operatingfluids.mercedes-benz.com
• At a qualified specialist workshop

! NOTE Overheating at high outside temperatures

If an inappropriate coolant is used, the cooling system is not sufficiently protected against overheating and corrosion at high outside temperatures.

▶ Only use coolant approved for Mercedes-Benz.
Observe the instructions in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids 320.1.

Have the coolant regularly replaced at a qualified specialist workshop.

Proportion of antifreeze concentrate in the cooling system:

  • A minimum of 50% (antifreeze protection down to about -37°C)
  • A maximum of 55% (antifreeze protection down to -45°C)

Notes on windscreen washer fluid

Observe the notes on operating fluids ( page 786).

WARNING - Risk of fire and injury due to windscreen washer concentrate

Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.

Make sure that no windscreen washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.

NOTE Damage to the exterior lighting due to unsuitable windscreen washer fluid

Unsuitable windscreen washer fluids may damage the plastic surface of the exterior lighting.

Only use windscreen washer fluids which are also suitable for use on plastic surfaces, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB WinterFit.

NOTE Blocked spray nozzles caused by mixing windscreen washer fluids

Do not mix MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit with other windscreen washer fluids.

Do not use distilled or de-ionised water. Otherwise, the fill level sensor may be triggered erroneously.

Recommended windscreen washer fluid:

• above freezing point: e.g. MB SummerFit
• below freezing point: e.g. MB WinterFit

For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the information on the antifreeze container.

Mix washer fluid with windscreen washer fluid all year round.

NOTE Damage due to water when fording

Water can enter the engine compartment and vehicle interior in the following cases:

  • the maximum permissible fording depth when driving through standing water is exceeded
    • a bow wave forms during fording
    • water accumulates during fording of flowing water
    Do not exceed the maximum permissible fording depth and drive slowly through the water.

The specified value indicates the maximum permissible fording depth for vehicles that are ready to drive (fuel tank full, all fluids topped up, driver in the vehicle) and for slow driving through standing water.

Driving through flowing water reduces the permissible fording depth due to the accumulation of water.
