2010 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS CABRIOLET steering wheel

!
For cleaning ,donot use any of the fol-
lowing:
R alcohol-based thinner or petrol
R abrasive cleanin gagents
R commercially-available household clean-
ing agents
These ma ydamage the displ ay surface.Do
not put pressure on the displa ysurface
when cleaning. This could lead to irrepara-
ble damage to the display.
Cleaning the plastic trim G
Risk of injury
When cleaning the steering wheel boss and
dashboard, do not use cockpit sprays or
cleaning agents containing solvents. Cleaning
agents containing solvents cause the surface
to become porous, and as aresult plastic
part smay break away and be thrown around
the interior when an airbag is deployed, which
may result in severe injuries.
! Do not affix the following to plastic surfa-
ces:
R stickers
R films
R scented oil bottles or similar items
You can otherwise damage the plastic.
! Do not allow cosmetics, insect repellent
or sunscreen to come in contact with the
plastic trim .This maintain sthe high-quality
look of the surfaces.
X Wipe the plastic trim with adamp, lint-free
cloth, e.g. amicrofibre cloth.
X Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning
products recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
The surface may change colour tempora-
rily. Wait until the surface is dry again. Cleanin
greal wood and trim strips X
Wipe the wooden trim and trim strips with
ad amp, lint-free cloth, e.g. amicrofibre
cloth.
X Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning
products recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
! Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents
such as tar remover, wheel cleaners, pol-
ishes or waxes. There is otherwise arisk of
damaging the surface.
Cleanin gthe seat covers !
Do not us emicrofibre cloths to clean gen-
uine leather, artificial leather or
Alcantara ®
covers. If used often ,these can
damage the cover.
! Observ ethe followin gwhen cleaning:
R clea ngenuin eleather covers carefully
with adamp cloth and then wipe the cov-
ers down with adry cloth .Make sure that
the leather does not become soaked .It
may otherwise become rough and
cracked .Only use leather care agents
that have bee ntested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. You can obtain these
from aqualified specialist workshop, e.g.
aM ercedes-Ben zService centre.
R clean artificial leather covers with acloth
moistened with asolution con taining 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid).
R clean cloth cover switham icrofibre cloth
moistened with asolution con taining 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Rub
carefully and always wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines. Leave
the seat to dry afterwards. Cleaning
results depend on the type of dirt and
how long it has been there.
R clean Alcantara ®
cover swithadamp
cloth. Make sure you wipe entire seat
sections to avoid leaving visible lines. Care

ynotes
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If afuse blows, all the compo-
nen tson th ecircuit and their function swill
fail. G
Ris
koff ire
Only use fuses that have been approve dfor
Mercedes-Ben zvehicles and which have the
cor rect fuse rating for the systems con-
cerned. Do not attempt to repai rorbridge
faulty fuses .Otherwise, acircuit overload
could cause afire. Have the cause traced and
rectified at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. aMercedes-Benz Ser vice Centre. Blow
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-
cialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz
Ser vice Centre.
! Onlyuse fuses that hav ebeen approved
for Mercedes-Ben zvehicles and which
have the cor rect fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, compo nentso rsys-

X Remove the key from the ignitio nlock.
The fuses ar elocated in variou sfuse boxes:
R fuse box on the driver' sside of the dash-
board
R fuse box in the engin ecompartmen tonthe

R fuse box in the boot on the right when
viewed in the direction of travel

Tyr
ep ressures that are too lo whave anega-
tiv ee ffect on vehicl esafety, which could lead
to your causing an accident.
If possible, you should only correc ttyre pres-
sures when the tyres are cold. Depending on
the ambien ttemperature, the speed you are
driving at and the load on the tyres, the tyre
temperatur eand thus the tyre pressure may
chang ebyapproximately 10 kPa (0. 1bar,
1.5 psi) per 10 †. Take this int oaccount
whe ncheckin gthe pressur eofwarm tyres
and only correct it if it is too low for the cur-
rent operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the servic elife of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have anegativ eeffect on handling charac-
teristi csand thus the driving safet y(e.g. by
causing aquapla ning)
i The tyr epressure values given for low
load sare minimum values which offe ryou
good rid ecomfor tcharacteristics.
However ,you can also use the values given
for higher loads. These ar epermissible and
will not adversely affect the running of the
vehicle. H
Environmenta
lnote
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days. Tyr
epressure loss warning
Important safety notes Whil
ethe vehicle is in motion, the tyr epres-
sure loss warning system monitors th eset
tyr ep ressure using th erotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in atyre. If the speed
of rotation of awheel changes as aresult of
al oss of pressure, acorrespondin gwarning
message will appea rinthe multifunction dis-
play. G
Risk of accident
The tyr epressure loss warning system does
not warn you of an incorrectly se ttyre pres-
sure. The table on the insid eofthe fuel filler
fla pw ill help you decide whether the tyre
pressures should be corrected.
The tyre pressure loss warnin gsystem does
not replace the need to regularly check your
vehicle's tyre pressures, since an even loss of
pressure on several tyres at the same time
cannot be detecte dbythe tyr epressure loss
warning system.
Th et yre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by aforeign objec t.
In the event of asudden loss of pressure, bring
the vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Do
not make any sudden steering movements
when doing so.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are fitted to your vehicle's
tyres.
R road conditions are wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel.
R you adopt avery sporty driving style (cor-
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
R you are towin gavery heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with aheavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Resta rting the ty re pressur eloss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warnin
gsystem
if you have:
R changed the tyre pressure
R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, consult the table of tyre
pressures on the insid eofthe fuel filler flap
to ensur ethat the tyr epressure in all four Tyre pressures
