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.

Using th eTIREFIT 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 situations, your safety is at
particular risk and tyre sealant is unable to
provide breakdown assistance if:
R ther eare cuts or punctures in th etyre
greater than 4mm
R the whee lrim is damaged
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on aflat tyre
Do not drive any fur ther. Consult aqualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledg eand tool stocarry out
the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a

pose. In particular ,work relevant to safet yor
on safety-related system smust be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
X Do not remov eany foreig nobjects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screw sor
nails.

example at

Centre.
R When parking your vehicle, make sure that
the tyres do not ge tdeformed by the kerb
or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive
over kerbs, speed humps or simila releva-
tions, try to do so slowly and at an obtuse
angle. Otherwise, the tyres, particularly the
sidewalls, can get damaged. Maintenance and care of wheels and
tyres
Checking wheels and tyres
R Regularly chec kthe wheels and tyres of
your vehicle for damage (e.g. cuts, punctu-
res, tears, bulges on tyres and deformation,
crack sorseverecorrosion on wheels), at
least ever y14d ays, as well as after driving
off-road or on rough roads. Damaged
wheels can cause aloss of tyr epressure.
R Regu larly check th etyre tread depth and
the conditio nofthe tread across the whole
widt hofthe tyr e(Ypage 299). If neces-
sary, tur nthe front wheels to full lock in
orde rtoi nspect the inner sid eofthe tyre
surface.
R All wheels must hav eavalve cap to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not
fit anything onto the valve (such as tyre
pressure monitorin gsystems) othe rthan
the standar dvalve cap or other valve caps
approved by Mercedes-Ben zfor your vehi-
cle.
R Regularly chec kthe pressur eofall the tyres
including the emergenc yspare wheel or the
spare wheel, particularly prior to long trips,
and correc tthe pressur easnecessary
(Y page 299). Ty
re tr ead G
Risk of accident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus ,you should repl acet yres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres sho uld bereplaced when the
trea ddepth is 4mmorl ess as they will no
longer provide adequat egrip.
R thet rea donat yre may not wear evenly.
Thus ,you should regularly chec kthe tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire widt hofall tyres. If necessary,
turn the steerin gwheel so that you can see
the tyr etrea dm ore easily.
You coul dotherwise los econtrol of the vehi-
cle and cause an acciden tdue to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Storing tyres
Store tyres that are not being used in acool,
dry and preferably dar kplace. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Cleaning tyres
! Do not use ahigh pressure jet with circu-
lar jet nozzles (concentrated-power jets) to
clean the tyres. The high pressure of the
water jet could damage the tyres. Always
replace damaged tyres. Tyr
epressures Recommended ty
repressures
You will find atable of tyre pressures for var-
ious operating conditions on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
The applicable value for the emergency spare
wheel is stated on the spare wheel and in the
