X Remove the fire extinguisher from the
stowage compartment.
! Keep the stowage compartment closed
while the vehicle is in motion .Itmay oth-
erwise be damaged.
i Have the fire extinguisher refilled after
each use and checked every one or two
years .Itmay otherwise fail in an emer-
gency.
Observe the legal requirements in all coun-
tries concerned. Vehicle tool kit
The vehicle tool kit can be found in the stow-
age well unde rthe boot floor.
i Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit are not equip-
ped with the tools needed to change a
wheel when they leave the factory, e.g. a
jack or wheel wrench. Country-specific dif-
ferences are possible. Some tools for
changing a wheel are specific to the vehi-
cle. To obtain tools approved for your vehi-
cle, visit a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with:
R a TIREFIT kit
R an emergency spare wheel
R MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-fla tchar-
acteristics) (Y page 289)
i Vehicle preparation is not necessary on
vehicles with MOExtended tyres.
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can obtain
aT IREFIT kit from aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre, for example.
X Vehicles with AIRMATIC: make sure that
"normal" level is selected (Y page 167).
X Stop the vehicle as far away as possible
from traffic on solid, non-slippery and level
ground.
X Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
X Bring the fron twheels into the straight-
ahead position.
X Move the DIRECT SELECT lever to P.
X Switch off the engine.
X Vehicles without KEYLESS-GO: remove
the key from the ignition lock.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: open the
driver's door.
The on-board electronics have status 0,
which is the same as the key having been
removed.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: remove the
Start/Stop button from the ignition lock
(Y page 129). X
All occupants must get out of the vehicle.
Make sure that they are not endangered as
they do so.
X Make sure that no one is near the danger
area whilst a wheel is being changed. Any-
one who is not directly assisting in the
wheel change should, for example, stand
behind the barrier.
X Get out of the vehicle. Pay attention to traf-
fic conditions when doing so.
X Close the driver's door.
X Place the warning triangle (Y page 278) a
suitable distance away.O bserve legal
requirements. TIREFIT kit
Using the TIREFIT 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 as tyre sealant is unable to pro-
vide sufficient breakdown assistance:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related system smust be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. Flat tyre

Tyre tread
G
Ris
kofa ccident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres should be replaced when the
tread depth is 4mmorless as they no lon-
ger provide adequate grip.
R the tread on a tyre may not wear evenly.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the fron twheels to full lock in order to
inspect the tyre tread more easily.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an accident due to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Notes on selecting, fitting and replac-
ing tyres
R Only fit tyres and wheels of the same type
and make.
R Only fit tyres of the correct size onto the
wheels.
R After fittingn ew tyres, run them in at mod-
erate speeds for the first 100 km, as they
only reach their full performance after this
distance.
R Do not drive with tyres which have too little
tread depth, as this significantly reduces
the traction on wet roads (aquaplaning).
R Replace the tyres after six years at the lat-
est, regardless of wear. This also applies to
the emergency spare wheel/spare wheel. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) allow you to continue driving the vehicle even when one or more tyres lose all
air pressure.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with the activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or with the activated tyre
pressure monitor and on wheels specifically
tested by Mercedes-Benz.
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT
kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-
flat properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can
obtain a TIREFIT kit from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, for example.
You will find notes on driving with a flat tyre
in the "Breakdown assistance" section
(Y page 289). Winter operation
Please bear the following in mind
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing a wheel"
section (Y page 309). Driving with summer tyres
At temperatures below +7 †, summer tyres
lose elasticity and therefore traction and
braking power –change the tyres on your
vehicle to M+S tyres. Using summer tyres at
very cold temperatures could cause tears to
form, thereby damaging them permanently.
Mercedes-Ben zcannot accept responsibility
for this type of damage. M+S tyres
At temperatures below +7 †, use winter tyres
or all-season tyres. Both types of tyre are
identified by the M+S marking. Winter operation
