First off, the 2009 was the W211 (old shape), the 2010 and newer is the W212 (new shape).
I would suggest that you check which one you have (they did build and ship W212's in the calendar year 2009, but they are Model Year 2010) and then download the manual from the mbusa.com website.
RTFM is usually pretty good advice.

They do not have the model year in Europe. They only care about the manufactured date. A car manufactured in December 2009 is considered a 2009.
The model year we use in the US can be misleading if you are buying a used car. Example: VW started selling their 2013 CC back in May 2012, so a person can drive the car for a year and a half and sell the car in 2013 as a 2013. In the brain of the person looking to purchase it seems to be a 'newer' car.
