cyclists
R road users whose lighting is not clearly visi-
ble, e.g. road users behind acrash barrier
R on rare occasions :road users that have
lights that may be recognised too late or not
at all
The automatic main-beam headlamps will not
be deactivated, or they may be activated
despite road users travelling in front of or
approaching the vehicle.
Thus, you could cause an accident and injure
yourself and others. Always observe traffic
conditions and, if necessary, dip the lights
manually. Headlamps misted up inside
The headlamps may mist up on the inside if
there is high atmospheric humidity.
X Drive with the headlamps switched on.
The level of moisture diminishes, depend-
ing on the length of the journey and the
weather conditions (humidity and temper-
ature).
If the level of moisture does not diminish:

warning system cannot function reliably.
Only restart th
etyrep ressure loss warning
system when the defective whee lhas been
replaced with anew wheel. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) allow you to continue driving the
vehicl eeven when one or more tyres lose all
air pressure.
MOExtended tyres may only be usedinc on-
junction with the activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or with the tyre pressure
monitor.
The maximu mpermissible distanc ewhich
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 distanc ewhich
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the momen tthe tyre pressure loss warning
appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed amaximum speed of
80 km/h. G
WARNING
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
extentont he 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 drive carefully and conserva-
tively.
Do not continue to drive in run-flat mode if:
R you hear banging noises.
R the vehicle starts to shake.
R you see smoke and smell rubber.
R ESP ®
is intervening constantly.
R there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre.
After driving in run-flat mode, you must have
the wheel(s) checked for damage at aquali-
fied specialist workshop which has the nec-
essary specialist knowledge and tools to carry
out the work required. The faulty tyre must be
replaced in every case.
Mercedes-Ben zrecommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centr efor this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
i When replacing one or all tyres, make
sure that you only use tyres marked
MOExtended and of the specified size for
the vehicle.
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with aTIREFI Tkit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with aTIREFI Tkit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFI Tkit
can be obtained from aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre. Battery
Important safety notes
In order for the batter ytoachieve the maxi-
mum possible service life, it must alway sbe
sufficiently charged.
Have the batter ycharge checked more fre-
quently if you use the vehicle mainly for short
trips or if you leave it standing idle for a
lengthy period. Battery

Jump-starting
G
WARNING
There is arisk of acid burns when jump-starting avehicle due to the gases which escape from
the battery. Do not lean over the battery while the engine is being jump-started. G
WARNING
Gases escaping from the battery during jump-starting may cause minor explosions. Avoid cre-
ating sparks. Keep naked flames away from the battery, and do not smoke.
Comply with safety precautions when handling batteries. You will find these under "Battery" in
the index.
! Avoid repeated and lengthy startinga ttempts. Otherwise, non-combusted fuel may dam-
age the catalytic converter 22
and create arisk of fire.
Do not use arapid-charging device to start the engine.
Make sure the jump leads are not damaged.
Make sure the jump leads are not touching any other metal objectsw hen they are connected
to the battery.
If your vehicle's battery is discharged, the engine can be jump-started from another vehicle
or from asecond battery using jump leads.
Observe the following points:
X The battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible,
jump-start the vehicle using asecond battery or ajump-starting device.
X Only jump-start th evehicl ewhen th eengineisc olda nd th ecatalyti cconverter system has
cooled down 23
.
X Do not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
X Jump-starting may only be performed from batteries with anominal voltage of 12 V.
X Only use jump leads which have asufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
X Make sure that the jump leads cannot come into contact with parts, such as the pulley or
the fan. These parts move when the engine is started and while it is running.
X If the battery is fully discharged, leave the battery that is being used to jump-start connected
for afew minutes before attempting to start.T his charges the empty batteryalittle.
i Jump leads and further information about jump-starting can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Ben zService Centre, for example.
X Make sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
X Apply the parking brake firmly.
X Manual transmission: engage neutral.
X Automatic transmission: move the selector lever toP.
X Switch off all electrical consumers (e.g. radio, blower, etc.).
X Open the bonnet (Y page 281).

Coolant
Important safety notes The coolan
tisamixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the
following tasks:
R anti-corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is fil-
led with acoolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion protec-
tion.
! Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreeze protection. The
engine could otherwise be damaged.
Further information on coolants and on fill-
ing can be found in the Mercedes-Benz
Specifications for Service Products, MB
Approval 310.1,e .g. on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com .You can
also consult aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Always use asuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the cooling system will not be
sufficiently protected from corrosion ,and
the boiling point will be too low.
If antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor is present in
the correc tconcentration, the boiling point of
the coolant will be around 130 †.
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor concentra-
tion in the engine cooling system should:
R be at least 50%. This will protec tthe engine
cooling system against freezing down to
around -37 †.
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -45 †);otherwise, heat will not be
dissipated as effectively. If the vehicle has lost coolant, top it up with
equal amount
sofwater and antifreeze/cor-
rosion inhibitor. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends an antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
which has been approved for Mercedes-Benz.
! The engin ecoolin gsystem is filled with
coolan tthat must be renewed after 15
years, or after 250,000 km at the latest. Vehicle data
