cerned. Do not attempt to repair or bridge
faulty fuses. Otherwise, a circuit overload
could cause a fire .Have the cause traced and
rectified at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Blown fuses 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 allocatio nchart. AMercedes-
BenzS ervice Centre will be happy to advise
you.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benzv ehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, components or sys-
tems could be damaged. Before changing a fuse
X Park the vehicle and apply the parking
brake.
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Remove the key from the ignition lock.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
R fuse box on the driver's side of the dash-
board
R fuse box in the engine compartment on the
left-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed
in the direction of travel
R fuse box in the boot/luggage compartment
on the right-hand side of the vehicle, when
viewed in the direction of travel
The fuse allocation chart is located in the
vehicle tool kit (Y page 335) in the stowage
compartment under the boot/luggage com-
partment floor. Dashboard fuse box
! Do not use a pointed objec tsuch as a
screwdriver to open the cover in the dash-
board. You could damage th edashboard or
the cover. X
To open: pull out cover :slightly at the
bottom in the direction of arrow =.
X Pull cover :outwards in the direction of
arrow ;and remove it.
X To close: clip in cover :on the front of
the dashboard.
X Fold cover :inwards until it engages. Fuse box in the engine compartment
X Make sure that the windscree nwipers are
turned off. G
WARNING
Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
turned off and the key is pulled out of the igni-
tion lock before you open the cover of the fuse
box. Otherwise, the windscreen wipers and
the wiper rods above the cover could be set
in motion. This could lead to you or others
being injured by the wiper rods.
X Open the bonnet (Y page 322). Electrical fuses

You may wish to deactivate ESP ®
(Y page 75) when pulling away with snow
chains fitted. This way you can allow the
wheels to spin in a controlled manner, ach-
ieving an increased driving force (cutting
action). Tyre pressure
Tyre pressure specifications
You will find a table of tyre pressures for var-
ious operating conditions on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
Operation with emergency spare wheel:
the applicable value for the emergency spare
wheel is stated on the spare wheel and in the
technical data section.
Operation with a trailer: the applicable
value for the rear tyres is the maximum tyre
pressure value stated on the table inside the
fuel filler flap.
The table inside the fuel filler flap may state
tyre pressures for differen tload conditions.
These are defined in the table as different
numbers of passengers and amounts of lug-
gage. The actual number of seats may vary –
for more information, please refer to the vehi-
cle's registration documents.
If no other data is stated, the tyre pressures
specified on the fuel filler flap apply for all
tyres approved for this vehicle. If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the tyre
pressure information following is only valid
for that tyre size. G
WARNING
Tyre pressure that is either too high or too low
has a negative effect on the vehicle's driving
safety, which could lead you to cause an acci-
dent. Therefore, you should regularly check
the pressure of all the tyres, particularly prior
to long trips, and correc tthe pressure as nec-
essary.
To test tyre pressure, use a suitable pressure
gauge. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the
tyre pressure. On vehicles fitted with the elec-
tronic tyre pressure monitor, the tyre pres-
sure can be checked using the on-board com-
puter. G
WARNING
Do not fit anything else to the tyre valve other
than the standard valve cap. In particular, ret-
rofitted tyre pressure monitors which are
screwed on to the valve may overload it and
cause it to fail. Due to their design, the valve
is kept open continuously,w hich may lead to
air loss. G
WARNING
Should the tyre pressure drop repeatedly:
R check the tyre for foreign bodies.
R check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
R make sure that only a valve cap approved
by Mercedes-Benz is fitted on the tyre
valve.
Tyre pressures that are too low have a nega-
tive effect on vehicle safety, which could lead
you to cause an accident.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1.6 km Tyre pressure
361Wheels and tyres Z

The tyre pressure monitor warns you when
the pressure drops in one or more of the
tyres. The tyre pressure monitor only func-
tions if the correct sensors are fitted to all
wheels. G
WARNING
The tyre pressure monitor does not warn you
of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. The table
on the inside of the fuel filler flap will help you
decide whether the tyre pressures should be
corrected.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Do not
make any sudden steering movements when
doing so.
Information on tyre pressures is displayed in
the multifunction display .After a few minutes
of driving, the current tyre pressure of each
tyre is show ninthe multifunction display.
i The tyre pressure values indicated by the
on-board computer may differ from those
measured at a filling station with a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pres-
sure values indicated by a pressure gauge
are higher than those shown by the on-
board computer. In this case, do not reduce
the tyre pressures.
i The operation of the tyre pressure moni-
tor can be affected by interference from
radio transmitting equipment (e.g. radio
headphones, two-way radios) that may be
being operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking tyre pressure electronically X
Make sure that the key is in position 2
(Y page 153) in the ignition lock.
X Press the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Service menu.X
Press the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The current tyre pressure for each wheel
will be displayed in the multifunction dis-
play.
If the vehicle has been parked for longer than
20 minutes, the Tyre pressures will be
displayed after a few minutes of
driving message appears.
After a teach-in period, the tyre pressure
monitor automatically recognises new
wheels or new sensors. As long as a clear
allocation of the tyre pressure values to the
individual wheels is not possible, the Tyre pressure monitor active display mes-
sage is shown instead of the tyre pressure
display. The tyre pressures are already being
monitored.
i If a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
is fitted, the system may continue to show
the tyre pressure of the wheel that has
been removed for a few minutes. If this
occurs, note that the value displayed for
the position where the spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel is fitted is not the same
as the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel's current tyre pressure.
Tyre pressure monitor warning mes-
sages If the tyre pressure monitor detects a signifi-
cant pressure loss on one or more tyres, a
warning message is shown in the multifunc-
tion display.
Awarning tone also sounds and
the tyre pressure warning lamp lights up in
the instrument cluster.
Each tyre that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted in the pressure dis-
play.
If the Please correct tyre pressure message appears in the multifunction dis-
play:
X
Chec kthe tyre pressure on all four wheels
and correct it if necessary. 364
