Scope note

US market, model years 2024 through 2026, from the Service and Warranty Information booklet mbusa.com serves for each of those years; the battery and California terms above are the plug-in hybrid terms, not those of the battery-electric EQ models. The booklet delivered with a specific car is the authority for that car.
