Risk of accident
Tractio ncontrol can notreduce the risk of an
accident if you driv etoo fast .Traction con trol
can noto verride th elaws of physics.
Deactivating/activating ESP ®ESP
®
is activated automatically when the
engine is running.
It may be best to deactivate ESP ®
in the fol-
lowing situations:
R when using snow chains
R in deep snow
R on sand or gravel G
Risk of accident
Activate ESP ®
as soon as the situations
described above no longer apply. ESP ®
will
otherwise not be able to stabilis ethe vehicle
if the vehicle star tsto skid or awheel star ts
to spin.
If you deactivate ESP ®
:
R ESP ®
no longer improves driving stability.
R the engine's torque is no longer limited and
the drive wheels can spin. The spinnin gof
the wheels results in acutting action, which
provides better grip.
R traction control is still activated.
R ESP ®
still provides support when you
brake.
If ESP ®
is deactivated and one or more wheels
start to spin, the äwarning lamp in the
instrument cluster flashes .Insuch situations,
ESP ®
will not stabilise the vehicle.
X To deactivate:(Y page 203).
The å warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up. G
Risk of accident
If the å warning lamp in the instrument
cluster lights up when the engine is running, ESP
®
is deactivated or is unavailable due to a
malfunc tion. The risk that your vehicle may
star ttos kid then increase sincertain situa-
tions.
Alway sadapt your driving style to the prevail-
ing road and weather conditions.
X To activate:(Y page 203).
The å warning lamp in the instrument
cluster goes out.
ESP ®
trailer stabilisation If your trailer begins to lurch, you can only
stabilise the vehicle/
trailer combination by
depressing the brake firmly.
In this situation, ESP ®
assists you and can
detect if the trailer begins to lurch. ESP ®
slows the vehicle down by brakin gand limit-
ing the engine output until the vehicle/trailer
combination has stabilised.
Traile rstabilisatio nisa ctive above speed sof
about 65 km/h. G
Risk of accident
If road and weather conditions are poor,
trailer stabilisatio nwill not be able to prevent
the trailer from swerving and will thus be
unable to reduce the risk of an accident .Trail-
ers wit hahigh centr eofgravity can tip over
before ESP ®
can detec tthis.
Trailer stabilisation does not work if ESP ®
is
deactivated or disable dbecause of amal-
function. EBD (Electronic Brake-force Distribu-
tion)
EBD monitors and controls the brake pres-
sure on the rear wheels to improve driving
stability while braking. G
Risk of accident
If EBV is malfunctioning, the brake system is
still available with full brake boosting effect.
However, the rear wheels can still lock, e.g. 58

Tighten the wheel bolts until they are fin-
ger- tight.
X Unscrew the cen tring pin.
X Tighten the last wheel bolt until it is finger-
tight.
Lowering the vehicle X
Turn the cran kofthe jac kanti-clockwise
until the vehicl eisonce agai nstanding
firmly on the ground.
X Place the jack to one side. X
Tighten the whee lbolts evenly in across-
wis epattern in the sequence indicated
(: 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.
X Turn the jack back to its initia lposition and
stor eitt ogether with the rest of the vehicle
tool kit in the stowage well under the boot
floor.
X AM Gvehicles and vehicles with AMG
equipment: whenafront whee lhas been
changed, insert the cover into the outer sill.
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

Tyres with aspecified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk
of aquaplaning. You will only gain these ben-
efits if the correct direction of rotation is
observed.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates
its correct direction of rotation.
You may fit an emergenc yspare wheel/spare
wheel against the direction of rotation.
Observe the tim erestric tion on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the emer-
genc yspare wheel/spar ewheel. Interchanging th
ewheels G
Ris
kofa ccident
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 aqualified
specialist workshop that has the necessary
specialist knowledg eand tool stocarry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use aMercedes-Ben zService
Centr efor this purpose. In particular ,work
relevant to safet yoronsafety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
The wheel scould work loose if they are not
tightened to atorqu eof130 Nm. 302
