X Place the jack to one side. X
Tighten the whee lbolts evenly in across-

(: toA). The tightening torque must be
130 Nm. G
Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked immedi-
ately after awheel is changed. The wheels
coul dwork loose if they are not tightened to
at orqu eof130 Nm.

Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel:
X Transport the faulty wheel in the boot.
i When you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning system cannot function reliably.
Only restart the tyre pressure loss warning
system when the defective wheel has been
replaced with
anew wheel. MOExtended run-
flat system
Th eM OEx tended run-flat system allo wsyou
to continue driving the vehicle even when one
or more tyres los eall air pressure.
The MOExtended run-flat system may only be
used in conjunction with the activated tyre
pressure loss warnin gsystem or with the acti-
vated 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 los swarning
appears in the multifunction displ ay.
Yo um ust not exceed amaximum spee dof
80 km/h. G
Ris
kofa ccident
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 alarge
exten tonthe loads placed on the vehicle. It
can be shorter due to high speeds, aheavy
load, sudden changes in direction, the road
surface condition, outside temperature, etc.,
or further if you driv ecarefully and conserva-
tively. 284

could cause afire. Have the cause traced and
rectified at aqualified specialist workshop,

nfuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and value. The fuse ratings are lis-
ted in the fuse allocation chart .AMercedes-
Ben zService Cent rewill be happy to advise
you.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at aqualified spe-
