2009 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS COUPE technical data

Once you have fitted the winter tyres:
X
Check the tyre pressures (Y page 186).
X Restart the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem (Y page 187). 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 adapty our 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 aMercedes-
Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In par-
ticular, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at aquali-
fied specialist workshop. Snow chains
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains which
have been speciallya pproved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz,ora re ofacorresponding
standard of quality.
If you intend to fit snow chains, pleaseb ear
the following points in mind:
R you may not attach snow chains to all
wheel-tyre combinations; see the "Tyres
and wheels" section in the "Technical data"
chapter.
R snow chains must not be fitted to emer-
gency spare wheels, e.g. a"Minispare"
emergency spare wheel.
R Fit snow chains only in pairs and only to the
rear wheels. Comply with the manufactur-
er's installation instructions.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 km/h.
i You may wish to deactivate ESP ®
when
pulling awayw ith snow chains fitted (Y
page 54). This way,y ou can allowthe
wheels to spin in acontrolled 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 aslippery 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 Vehicles with manual transmission: engage
neutral.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission*:
shift the selector lever to N.
X Try to bring the vehicle under control by
using corrective steering. Driving tips
Rolling with the engines
witchedoff G
Risk of accident
Never switch the engine off while the vehicle
is in motion.
There is no power assistance for the steering
and the service brake when the engine is not
running.
You will require considerably more effort to
steer and brake and you could therefore lose
control of the vehicle and cause an accident. 190

X Make sure that the ball of the ball coupling
is clean and that, depending on the trailer
specification, it is greased or dry (without
grease) when used. Notes on towing
atrailer G
Risk of accident
When reversin gthe vehicle towards the
trailer, make sure there is nobody between
the trailer and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If
you do not couple the trailer to the towing
vehicle correctly, the trailer could become
detached.
Make sure that the following values are not
exceeded:
R the permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
R the permissible trailer load R
the permissible rear axle load of the towing
vehicle
R the maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and the
trailer
You will find the applicable permissible val-
ues, which must not be exceeded, in the vehi-
cle documents.
You will find the values approved by the man-
ufacturer on the vehicle identification plates
and those for the towing vehicle in the "Tech-
nical data" section.
i When towing atrailer, set the tyre pres-
sure on the rear axle of the towing vehicle
for am aximum load; see the tyre pressure
table in the fuel filler flap.
You will find installation dimensions and loads
in the "Technical data" section
(Y page 303).
The maximum drawbar load of the trailer
drawbar on the ball coupling is 75 kg. How-
ever, the actual noseweight must not exceed
the value given on the trailer tow hitch and
trailer identification plates. The lowest weight
applies.
! Use anoseweight as close as possible to
the maximum permissible noseweight. Do
not use anoseweight of less than 50 kg,
otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Bear in mind that the payloa dand the rear
axle load are reduced by the actual nose-
weight.
Please notet hat when towing atrailer, PARK-
TRONIC* (Y page 140) and Parking Guid-
ance* (Y page 143) are only availabl ewith
limitations ,ornot at all.
i The height of the ball coupling changes
with the load of the vehicle. If necessary,
use atrailer with aheight-adjustable trailer
drawbar. 194

trailer stabi-
lisation (Y page 55).
In Germany, th emaximum permissible speed
for vehicle/trailer combinations depends on
th et ype of trailer and is either 80 km/h or
10 0k m/ h. In som ecountries ,higher maxi-
mum speeds are permissible for vehicle/
trailer combinations .Before beginnin gthe
journey, check th etrailer' sdocuments to see
what th emaximum permitted spee dis.
For certain Mercedes-Ben zvehicles, th emax-
imum permissible rear axle load is increased
when towing atrailer. Refer to th e"Technical
data" sectio ntofindo ut whether this applies
to your vehicle .Ifyou utilise any of th eadded
maximum rear axle load when towing atrailer,
th ev ehicle/trailer combinatio nmay not
excee damaximum spee dof100km/h for
reason sconcernin gthe operatin gpermit. This also applies in countries in whic
hthe
permissible maximum spee dfor vehicle/

tions ,eveninc ountries wher ehigher speeds
are permitted. This lower sthe riskofana cci-
dent.
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristic swill be different in comparison
to when driving without atrailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
R is heavier
R is restricted in its acceleratio nand gradi-
ent-climbin gcapability
R has an increased braking distance
R is affected mor ebystron gc rosswinds
R demands mor esensitive steering
R consumes mor efuel
On lon gand steep downhill gradients ,you
must selec talower gear in good time, or on
vehicle switha utomatic transmission*, select
shif trange 1,2or 3.
i This also applies if you have activated
cruise control, SPEEDTRONI CorDIS-
TRONIC PLUS*.
This will use th ebraking effect of th eengine,
so less braking will be required to maintain
th es peed. This relieves th eload on th ebrake
system and prevents th ebrakes from over-
heating and wearin gtoo quickly. If you need
additional braking ,depress th ebrak epedal
repeatedly rather than continuously. G
Ris
kofa ccident
Never depress th ebrak epedal continuously
while th evehicle is in motion ,e.g.n ever cause
th eb rakes to rub by applyin gconstant slight
pedal pressure .This causes th ebrak esystem
to overheat, increases th ebraking distance
and can lead to th ebrakes failin gcompletely. Trailer towing*
