i Vehicles retrofitted with TIREFIT kit: Only use the power outlet in the second-
row footwell for electric air pump
operation.
You can use the power outlet even when
the ignition is switched off, e.g. in order to
inflate the collapsible tire.
An emergency shut-off feature is designed
to prevent the vehicle’s on-board voltage
from dropping below a minimum level. If
the on-board voltage drops to this
minimum level, the power outlets are
switched

off automatically to help preserve
engine starting power. Sealing tires with TIREFIT
This section applies to vehicles retrofitted
with a TIREFIT kit only.
Small

tire punctures, particularly those in the
tread, can be sealed with TIREFIT.
TIREFIT can be used in ambient temperatures
down to -4‡ (-20†). G
Warning!
TIREFIT is a limited repair device. TIREFIT
cannot be used for cuts or punctures larger
than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) and tire
damage

caused by driving with extremely low
tire inflation pressure, or on a flat tire, or a
damaged wheel.
Do not drive the vehicle under such
circumstances.
Contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-
Benz Center for assistance or call Roadside
Assistance.
X Foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails)
should not be removed from the tire.
X Take the TIREFIT kit, the sticker, and the
electric air pump out of the vehicle. 320

After driving in emergency mode, you must
have the rims inspected by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center to check if they are
suitable for further use. The failed tire must
be replaced in any case.
When replacing individual or all tires on the
vehicle, make sure only tires marked with
“MOExtended” are mounted in the size
specified for your vehicle
(Y page 347). Bleeding the fuel system (diesel
engine only)
Driving

the vehicle until the fuel tank is empty
is not recommended. Otherwise, air may be
sucked into the fuel system. If this happens,
the malfunction indicator lamp = (USA
only) or ; (Canada only) comes on and the
engine may not start immediately after
refueling the vehicle.
After refueling:
X Make sure the automatic transmission is in
park position P.
The gear position indicator in the
multifunction display should be on P.
X Do not depress the accelerator.
X If necessary, remove the KEYLESS-GO
start/stop button from the starter switch.
X Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch to
position 2 for at least 10 seconds.
X Return the SmartKey in the starter switch
to position 0.
X Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch to
position 3

and hold it there for a maximum
of 40 seconds or until the engine runs
surge-free.
If the engine does not start:
X Wait for approximately 2 minutes.
X Turn the SmartKey in the starter switch to
position 3

and hold it there for a maximum
of 40 seconds or until the engine runs
surge-free. If the engine still does not start, do not make
any further attempts to start the engine.

®
(diesel engine only)
The BlueTEC exhaust gas aftertreatment
system requires a reducing agent (AdBlue ®
)
in order to function properly. Refilling with
AdBlue ®
is part of the regular maintenance
service work. A tankful of AdBlue ®
should
suffice until the next maintenance service
under normal driving conditions.
When the AdBlue ®
tank is low, the message
Check Additive See Operator’s
Manual appears in the multifunction display.
When the AdBlue ®
level drops to the
minimum level, the message Remaining
Starts: 20 appears in the multifunction
display.
i When

the message Remaining Starts:
20 appears in the multifunction display, you
can start the engine 20 more times. If you
do not add AdBlue ®
, the engine cannot be
started beyond that point. Fill the
AdBlue ®
tank with approximately 1 gal
(3.79 l) AdBlue ®
(corresponds to
approximately 2 AdBlue ®
refill containers)
or have the AdBlue ®
tank filled by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
i For refilling outside the maintenance
service intervals, refill the AdBlue ®
tank
with approximately 1 gal (3.79 l) AdBlue ®
(corresponds to approximately 2 AdBlue ®
refill containers). AdBlue
