Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a cross-
wise pattern in the sequence indicated
(: toA ). The tightening torque must be
130 Nm. G
Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked immedi-
ately after a wheel is changed. The wheels
could work loose if they are not tightened to
a torque of 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it together with the rest of the vehicle
tool kit in the stowage well under the boot
floor.
For further information on stowing the col-
lapsible emergency spare wheel:
(Y page 280).
i When you are driving with the collapsible
emergency spare wheel fitted, the tyre
pressure loss warning system or the tyre
pressure monitor cannot function reliably.
Only restart the tyre pressure loss warning
system/tyre pressure monitor when the
defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: all fit-
ted wheels must be equipped with func-
tioning sensors and the defective wheel
should no longer be in the vehicle. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
MOExtended tyres (tyres featuring run-flat
characteristics) enable your vehicle to con-
tinue its journey even with a complete loss of
tyre pressure in one or more tyres.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with the activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or with the activated 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 multifunction display.
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
exten tonthe loads placed on the vehicle. It
can be shorter due to high speeds, a heavy
load, sudden changes in direction, the road
surface condition, outside temperature, etc.,
or further if you drive carefully and conserva-
tively.
Do not continue to drive in run-flat mode if:
R you hear banging noises.
R the vehicle starts to shake. Flat tyre

If you wish to define the new reference values
manually:
X Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler
flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operating conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on
tyre pressures (Y page 305).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock.
X Use the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Service menu.
X Use the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The current tyre pressure of the individual
wheels is displayed in the multifunction dis-
play or the Tyre pressures will be displayed after a few minutes of
driving message appears.
X Press the :button.
The Use current pressure values as
new reference values message appears
in the multifunction display.
If you wish to confirm the restart:
X Press the abutton.
The Tyre press. monitor restarted message appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
After you have driven for a few minutes, the
system checks whether the current tyre
pressures are within the specified range.
The new tyre pressures are then accepted
as reference values and monitored.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the %button.
The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored. Changing

The "Breakdown assistance" section
(Y page 281) contains information and notes
on how to deal with a fla ttyre. It also provides
instructions on changing a wheel or fitting the
spare wheel or emergency spare wheel. Interchanging the wheels
G
Risk of accident
Interchange the front and rear wheels only if
they have the same dimensions :for example
size, offset, etc.
After every wheel interchange/change, have
the tightening torque checked at a qualified
specialist workshop that has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
The wheels could work loose if they are not
tightened to a torque of 130 Nm.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use wheel bolts of the
correc tsize which have been approved for
Mercedes-Ben zvehicles.
The wear patterns on the fron tand rea rtyres
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before a clear wear
pattern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres
typically wear more on the shoulders and the
rear tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have th esame size fron tand
rea rwheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5000 km to 10,000 km depending on
the degree of tyre wear. Do not reverse the
direction of tyre rotation.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and, Changing
