2009 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS SALOON ECO mode

loss warning system or with the tyre pressure
monitor*.
! The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode depends on
the load in the vehicle. It is 80 km if the
vehicle is partially laden and 30 km if fully
laden.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted
from the moment the tyre pressure loss
warning appears in the multi-function dis-
play.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h. G
Risk of accident
The handling characteristics of your vehicle
deteriorate in run-flat mode, for example:
R when cornering
R when braking
R when accelerating rapidly
Adapt your driving style accordingly and avoid
sudden changes in direction and sudden
acceleration, as well as driving over obstacles
(i.e. kerbs, potholes), and driving off-road.
This is particularly the case when the vehicle
is heavily laden.
The maximum permissible distance that can
be driven in run-flat mode depends to a large
extent on the loads placed on the vehicle. It
can be shorter due to high speeds, a heavy
load, sudden acceleration and/or manoeu-
vring, the road surface condition, outside tem-
perature, etc., or further, if you drive carefully
and conservatively.
Do not continue to drive in run-flat mode if:
R you hear banging noises.
R the vehicle starts to shake.
R you see smoke and smell rubber.
R ESP ®
is intervening constantly.
R there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre. After driving in run-flat mode, you must have
the wheel(s) checked for damage at a quali-
fied specialist workshop which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. The faulty tyre must be
replaced in every case.
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.
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres*: if you
change one or all of the tyres, make sure that
you only use tyres marked MOExtended of the
specified size for the vehicle. Battery
Notes on the vehicle battery
In order for the battery to achieve the maxi-
mum possible service life, it must always be
sufficiently charged.
Have the battery charge checked more fre-
quently if you use the vehicle mainly for short
trips or if you leave it standing idle for a
lengthy period.
To prevent damage from corrosion, only
replace the battery with one that has a central
ventilation cover.
Consult a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre if
you wish to leave your vehicle parked up for
a long period of time. G
Risk of injury
Comply with safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when handling batteries. Risk of explosion
Fire, naked flames and
smoking are prohibited
when handling the battery.
Avoid creating sparks. Battery

Coolant
The coolant is a mixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
topped up with a coolant that will ensure
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
! Only top up with coolant that has been
premixed with the desired antifreeze pro-
tection. You could otherwise damage the
engine.
Further information on coolants and on fill-
ing can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products, Sheet
310.1, or at any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. !
Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion, and
the boiling point will be too low.
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correct concentration, the boiling point of
the coolant will be around 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the cooling
system against freezing down to around
-37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †); otherwise, heat will not be
effectively dissipated.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amounts of water and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz.
! The cooling system contains a supply
which must be renewed after 15 years, or
after 250, 000 km at the latest.
The warranty is only valid if you top up with
an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor which
has been approved by Mercedes-Benz and
if the recommended mixture ratio is
observed. Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point. G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when

Spare wheel*
Your vehicle may be equipped with TIREFIT, a "Minispare"/collapsible emergency spare
wheel* or a spare wheel* depending on the country, the engine or the wheels fitted.
! The maximum tyre pressure given in the table on the inside of the fuel filler flap must be
set for the spare wheel*.
i Vehicles featuring the MOExtended run-flat system* are not equipped with the TIREFIT
kit.
Therefore, it is recommended that you additionally equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT
kit* if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter tyres.
i A TIREFIT kit* is available from any qualified specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre. "Minispare" emergency spare wheel*

Risk of accident
Only have a trailer coupling retrofitted at 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 purpose. In particular,
work relevant to safety or on safety-related

changes to the cooling system may be nec-
essary, depending on the vehicle type.
