The
AIRMATIC COMFORT message appears
in the multi-function display. Active Body Control (ABC)
Vehicle level Your vehicle automatically adjusts its ride
height to reduce petrol consumption and
improve driving safety.
Depending on the vehicle height that has
been set, the vehicle automatically adjusts its
height dependent on the current speed. The
vehicle is lowered by up to 10 mm as the
speed increases. As the speed is reduced, the
vehicle is raised up to the set vehicle height. G
Risk of injury
The vehicle is lowered when the engine is
switched off. Therefore, make sure that
nobody is in the vicinity of the wheel housing
or under the vehicle when you switch off the
engine. Otherwise, limbs could become trap-
ped.
! The vehicle is lowered by about 5 mm
when the engine is switched off. When
parking, make sure that you stop your vehi-
cle so that it does not make contact with
the kerb as it is lowered. Otherwise, the
vehicle could be damaged.
Setting the vehicle level manually
Select the "Normal" setting for normal road
surfaces and "Raised" for driving with snow
chains or on particularly poor road surfaces. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody is in the vicinity of the
wheel housing or under the vehicle while low-
ering the vehicle when it is stationary. Other-
wise, limbs could become trapped. X
To select the raised level: start the
engine.
If indicator lamp ;is not lit:
X Press button :.

tem is permanently active. This improves driv-
ing safety and ride comfort.
The tuning of the ABC chassis system is con-
trolled at each wheel individually.

R the road surface condition, e.g. bumps
R your individual selection, i.e. sports or com-
fort

General notes
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when closing the sliding sunroof. If there is a
risk of entrapment, release the switch and
push it briefly in any direction to stop the slid-
ing sunroof. G
Risk of injury
Children could injure themselves if they oper-
ate the sliding sunroof.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for
a short time. G
Risk of injury
The glass in the panorama sunroof could
break in an accident. If you are not wearing a
seat belt, there is a risk that you could be
thrown through the opening in the event of the
vehicle overturning. Therefore, always wear a
seat belt to reduce the risk of injuries.
! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof
if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur.
Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. The seals could otherwise
be damaged. i
When the sliding sunroof is open, apart
from the normal airflow noises resonance
noises may also occur. They are caused by
minor pressure fluctuations in the vehicle
interior. Change the position of the sliding
sunroof or open a side window slightly to
reduce or eliminate these noises.

Environmental note
When topping up the oil, take care not to spill
any. Oil must not be allowed to escape into
the soil or waterways. You would otherwise be
damaging the environment. Example
X
Turn cap :anti-clockwise and remove.
X Top up with the amount of oil required .
i The difference in quantity between the
minimum mark and maximum mark is
approximately 2 litres.
! Do not add too much oil. If too much oil
is added and the oil level is above the max-
imum mark on the dipstick, the engine or
catalytic converter could be damaged.
Have excess oil siphoned off.
X Replace cap :on the filler neck and
tighten clockwise.
Ensure that the cap locks into place
securely.
For further information on engine oil, see . Coolant
Only check the coolant level when the vehicle
is on a level surface and the engine has cooled
down. 294

of the vehicle, affix an appropriate warning
sign in the driver's field of vision. This can be
obtained at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
using permanent Speedtronic 35
to the maxi-
mum permissible speed for the winter tyres
(Y page 245).
Once you have fitted the winter tyres:
X Check the tyre pressures (Y page 298).
X Restart the tyre pressure moni-
tor* (Y page 300). G
Risk of accident
If you fit the spare wheel* when driving with
winter tyres, bear in mind that driving stability
will be impaired owing to unstable cornering
characteristics caused by the different tyres.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
and drive carefully.
Have the spare wheel* replaced at the near-
est qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In par-
ticular, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. Snow chains
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains which
have been specially approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are of a corresponding
standard of quality.
If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind: R
snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel/
tyre combinations.
R snow chains must not be fitted to emer-
gency spare wheels, e.g. a "Minispare"
emergency spare wheel.
R Only fit snow chains in pairs and to the rear
wheels, even on vehicles with 4MATIC*.
Comply with the manufacturer's installa-
tion instructions.
If snow chains have been fitted, you may only
drive at raised vehicle level (Y page 248).
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 km/h.
i You may wish to deactivate ESP ®
when
pulling away with snow chains fitted
(Y page 50). This way, you can allow the
wheels to spin in a controlled manner, ach-
ieving an increased driving force (cutting
action). Winter driving
G
Risk of accident
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery road surface. This could
cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid.
You should drive particularly carefully on slip-
pery road surfaces. Avoid sudden accelera-
tion, steering and braking manoeuvres.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be
stopped when moving at low speed:
X Shift the selector lever to N.
X Try to bring the vehicle under control by
using corrective steering.
