Windscreen wiper blades
G
Risk of accident
The windscreen will no longer be wiped prop-
erly if the wiper blades are worn. This could
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. Replace
the wiper blades twice a year, ideally in spring
and autumn. G
Risk of accident
The wiper arms could start moving and cause
an injury if you leave the windscreen wipers
switched on. Remove the key from the ignition lock before
replacing the wiper blades.
! To avoid damaging the windscreen wiper
blades, make sure that you touch only the
wiper arm of the windscreen wiper.
To remove X
Remove the key from the ignition lock or
turn the key to position 0(KEYLESS GO).
X Fold the wiper arm away from the wind-
screen until it engages.
X Set the wiper blade at right angles to the
wiper arm. X
Remove the wiper blade from the retainer
on the wiper arm in the direction of the
arrow.
Fitting !
The two wiper blades are different
lengths. If you swap the wiper blades they
may scratch the windscreen. Make sure
that the longer wiper blade is fitted on the
driver's side.
X Compare the lengths of the two new wiper
blades.
X Slide the longer of the two new wiper
blades into the retainer on the wiper arm
on the driver's side in the opposite direc-
tion to the arrow.
X Repeat the same procedure on the front-
passenger's side with the shorter of the two
new wiper blades. 308

X
Vehicles without KEYLESS GO*: remove
the key from the ignition lock.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS GO*: open the
driver's door.
The on-board electronics have status 0,
which is the same as the key having been
removed.
X Get out of the vehicle.
X Close the driver’s door.
X Place the warning triangle (Y page 248) at
a suitable distance. Observe legal require-
ments. Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to -20 †. G
Risk of accident
In the following cases your safety is especially
endangered, as tyre sealant is insufficient if:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
Do not drive any further. Consult a 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 pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.
X Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit, the accompanying
"max. 80 km/h" sticker and the electric air
pump from the stowage well underneath the boot/luggage compartment floor
(Y
page 249). X
Affix part :of the sticker within the driv-
er's field of vision.
X Affix part ;of the sticker near the valve
on the wheel with the defective tyre. G
Risk of injury
TIREFIT must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing.
R If TIREFIT comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately rinse thoroughly
with clean water.
R Change out of clothing which has come into
contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a doc-
tor immediately.
Keep TIREFIT away from children.
R If TIREFIT is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly and drink plenty
of water.
R Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor
immediately.
R Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes.
i If TIREFIT leaks out, allow it to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene. 310

If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached
after five minutes:
X Switch off and disconnect the electric air
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Remove TIREFIT sealant filler bottle :
from the electric pump.

the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work

G
Risk of injury
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid contact with the
skin, eyes or clothing.
Charging the battery G
Risk of injury
Only charge the battery in a well-ventilated
area. As the battery is being charged, gases
can escape and generate minor explosions.
This could injure you and other persons or
cause damage to the paintwork or acid cor-
rosion on the vehicle.
You can obtain information about battery
chargers which allow the battery to be
charged while still installed from a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. G
Risk of injury
There is a risk of acid burns during the charg-
ing process due to the gases which escape
from the battery. Do not lean over the battery
during the charging process.
! Only charge the installed battery with a
battery charger which has been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. These battery
chargers allow the battery to be charged
while still installed.
! Only use battery chargers with a maxi-
mum charging voltage of 14.8 V.
! Only charge the battery using the jump-
start connection point.
X Vehicles with the battery in the engine
compartment: open the bonnet.
X Vehicles with the battery in the boot:
open the boot.
X Connect the battery charger by its positive
terminal and earth point in the same order
as when connecting the donor battery in 322

deactivate HOLD and Distronic Plus if the
vehicle is to be towed.
It is better to have the vehicle transported
than to have it towed.
When towing, observe the legal requirements
in all countries concerned.
! When towing, pull away slowly and
smoothly. If the tractive power is too high,
the vehicles could be damaged.
! Do not use the towing eye for recovery,
as this could damage the vehicle. If in
doubt, recover the vehicle with a crane.
! You may tow the vehicle for a maximum
of 50 km. A towing speed of 50 km/ hmust
not be exceeded.
For towing distances over 50 km, the entire
vehicle must be lifted up and transported.
! On vehicles with KEYLESS GO*, use the
key instead of the Start/Stop button. Turn
the key to position 2in the ignition lock and
shift the automatic transmission to N. Then
turn the key back to 0and leave it in the
ignition lock.
! Only secure the tow cable or towing bar
to the towing eyes. You could otherwise
damage the vehicle.
R Vehicles with an automatic transmission*
must not be tow-started.
R Vehicles with 4MATIC* must not be towed
with the front or rear axle raised.
R If you are towing the vehicle over a longer
distance, this must be done with the rear
axle raised.
R The ignition must be switched off if you are
towing the vehicle with the rear axle raised.
Otherwise, intervention by ESP ®
could
damage the brake system.
R If the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propeller shaft
disconnected. R
If the engine does not start, try jump-start-
ing it (Y page 323).
R If it is not possible to jump-start the vehicle,
have it towed to the nearest qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
R The automatic transmission must be in
position Nwhen the vehicle is being towed.
R Before towing the vehicle, make sure that
the battery is connected and charged. Oth-
erwise:
-you cannot switch on the ignition.
- you cannot shift the transmission to posi-
tion Non vehicles with automatic trans-
mission*.
- you have no support when braking.
i Switch off the automatic locking feature
before the vehicle is towed (Y page 134).
Otherwise, you could be locked out when
pushing or towing the vehicle. Fitting the towing eye
Vehicles with a trailer tow hitch*: if you
intend to use the vehicle for towing, fold out
the ball coupling and connect the towbar
(Y page 234) to this. Towing and tow-starting
