If the wheel positions on the vehicle are
interchanged, the tyre pressures may be
displayed for the wrong positions for a
short time. This is rectified after a few
minutes of driving, and the tyre pressures
are displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the
tyre pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tyre pressure.
i For an overview of the menus, see
(Y page 230).
If you wish to define the new reference values
manually:
X Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler
flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operating conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on
tyre pressures (Y page 361).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in
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 multifunction display shows the cur-
rent tyre pressure of the individual tyres or
the Tyre pressures will be dis‐ played after a few minutes of driv‐
ing message.
X Press the :button.
The Use current pressures as new reference values message appears in
the multifunction display. If you wish to confirm the restart:
X
Press the abutton.
The Tyre press. monitor restarted message appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
After you have driven for a few minutes, the
system checks whether the current tyre
pressures are within the specified range.
The new tyre pressures are then accepted
as reference values and monitored.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the %button.
The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored.
Radio type approval for the tyre pres-

WARNING
Only have work on the engine electronics and
related components carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Ben zService
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Otherwise, the vehicle's
roadworthiness could be affected.
! Only have maintenance work on the
engine electronics and its associated parts,
such as control units, sensors and connec-
tor leads, carried out at a qualified special-
ist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Vehicle componentsm ay other-
wise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated. Retrofitting of two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
Use the Technical Specification
ISO/TS 21609 30
implementation regulation
when retrofitting RF (radio frequency) trans-
mitters. If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's
additional instructions when installing the fit-
tings.
!
Have aftermarket radio frequency trans-
mitting equipmen tinstalled at a qualified
specialist workshop .Mercedes-Benzr ec-
ommends that you use a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre for this purpose.

WARNING
Incorrect retrofitting of RF transmitters can
cause the vehicle electronics to malfunction.
The vehicle's operating safety and thus your
ow ns afety are impaired.
Have aftermarket radio frequency transmit-
ting equipment installed at a qualified spe-
cialis tworkshop. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. G
WARNING
Incorrect retrofitting of RF transmitters can
lead to increased electromagnetic radiation in
the vehicle interior. Using an exterior aerial
takes into account current scientific discus-
sions relating to the possible health hazards
that may result from electromagnetic fields.
Have aftermarket radio frequency transmit-
ting equipment installed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose.
Deviations with respect to aerial locations,
output and frequencies must be approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
There is no restriction for aerial positions in
the outer area of the vehicle for these wave-
bands: trunked radio/Tetra, 70 cm wave-
band, GSM 900/AMPS, GSM 1800 and
UMTS.
Legal provisions for fittings must be
observed.
RF transmitters with a maximum transmis-
sion output of 100 mW (PEAK) may be used
in the vehicle without restrictions.
! The operating permit may be invalidated
if the instructions for installation and use of
RF transmitters are not observed, e.g.
approved wavebands, maximum output
and aerial positions on the vehicle.
