Servicing follows a 12-month or 25,000 km schedule under the brand's standard warranty of five years unlimited kilometres in many markets. Routine care focuses on the mild-hybrid system and soft-top mechanism.
Safety kit is comprehensive as standard with 11 airbags including a centre bag and first-time rear head protection for a Mercedes cabriolet, plus PRE-SAFE, Active Brake Assist and basic driver aids. Optional packages add more advanced assistance.
Living with the car centres on the durable acoustic soft top that opens in 20 seconds up to 60 km/h and the year-round comfort systems. Keep the top and seals clean, and the reinforced body structure holds up well for open-air use.
