Switch on your phone’s wifi and Bluetooth.

Check the RoHS wifi dongle is plugged into the USB socket nearest the driver under the armrest.

Go to Bluetooth settings and pair with smartBox-CC2d.

Once paired, your phone should auto sync with the car, and again each time you drive.

If wireless isn’t working, use the supplied coiled charger cable in same socket for wired, which can be more stable.

You can also simply connect using old-school Bluetooth, but I suggest not then using the car’s inbuilt maps as they don’t show new roads, roadworks and traffic.

To store your preferred driving position - press M then 2 or 3 on driver’s door.

No smoking at all in the car!

Prefer no vaping, but if you must then please all four windows down and sunroof wide open, ie not just tilted - exhale out the window, otherwise leaves a sticky film inside.

No track use or unsealed roads - these violate Turo’s terms of service and they may ban you!

Please don’t ride shirtless and if possible use the supplied clear sunscreen - the white ones stain the seats!

Car’s location and speed is tracked and this data shared with Turo to help them monitor the above usage.

Don’t panic! Sh*t happens. Call me!

For accidents or damage, there’s a Turo incident card in glovebox with instructions.

Take lots of photos - close up and wide angle to show the whole scenario. Get details of any other cars involved - number plate essential and ideally driver contact details.

Don’t hesitate to call the police on 000 or your local station if you feel the need.

Submit damage report in the trip in Turo app. I’ll then reviews this, do further images, then suggest best path for repair.

If there’s the slightest chance of mechanical damage, please do not drive, else you risk further damage and extra costs.

If you see Tyre Pressure warning, feel loss of air, or even steering pulling one way. please pull over and call me.

Tyres are NON-runflats. There’s can of tyre goo in the boot, which should get you to the nearest Bob Jane for smaller punctures.

Larger holes or sidewall damage will need towing as Mercedes don’t supply a spare. Turo (included) towing’s usually pretty quick.

Give a short, gentle but firm kick to the centre underside of the rear bumper bar diffuser - sometimes take two goes.

All same in reverse to close.

These look very cool on the centre screen when driving.

Drive up, say you have a package, and ask for “outside only with side brushes switched off” - the second part is essential please to protect her paintwork.
