Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with:
R aT IREFIT kit
R an emergency spare wheel
R MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) (Y page 305)
i Vehicle preparation is not necessary on
vehicles with MOExtended tyres. i
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with aTIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFIT kit
can be obtained from aMercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
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 Firmly depress the parking brake.
X Bring the front wheels into the straight-
ahead position.
X Vehicles with manualt ransmission:
engage first or reverse gear.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission:
move the selector 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 electronicsh ave status0,
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 147).
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 awheel 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 conditionsw hen doing so.296

Using th eTIREFIT kit You can use th
eTIREFI Tkit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to -2 0†. G
WARNING
In the followin gsituations ,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 4mm.
R the wheel rim is damaged.
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on aflat tyre.
Do not drive any further. Consult aqualified
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 systems must be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
X Do not remove any foreign object swhich
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove the tyre sealant bottle, the accom-
panying "max. 80 km/h" sticker and the
tyre inflation compressor from the stowage
well underneath the boot floor
(Y page 295). X
Affix part :of the sticker within the driv-
er's field of vision.
X Affix part ;of the sticker near the valve
on the wheel with the defectiv etyre. G
WARNING
TIREFIT must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing.
R If TIREFIT comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately rinse thoroughly
with clean water.
R Change out of clothin gwhich has come into
contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult adoc-
tor immediately.
Keep TIREFIT away from children.
R If TIREFIT is swallowed, immediately rinse
your mouth out thoroughly and drink plenty
of water.
R Do not induce vomiting. Consult adoctor
immediately.
R Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes.
i If TIREFIT leaks out, allow it to dry. It can
then be removed like alayer of film.
If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
Your vehicle is provided with one of two dif-
ferent tyre inflation compressors:
R Version 1: the hose with the pressure
gauge and the cable are behind aflap.
R Version 2: the pressure gauge is in the tyre
inflation compressor. Flat tyre

affected.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor. G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure is less than 130 kPa
(1.3 bar/20 psi), the tyre is too severely dam-
aged. 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 aMercedes-Benz
Service Centr efor this purpose. In particular,

WARNING
The wheel and tyre size of the emergency
spare wheel/spare wheel may diffe rtothat of
the damaged wheel. When using an emer-
gency spare wheel/spare wheel the handling
characteristics of the vehicle may change.
Adapt your style of driving accordingly.
Never operate the vehicle with more than one
emergenc yspare wheel/spare wheel that dif-
fers in size.
Only use an emergenc yspare wheel/spare
wheel of adiffering size briefly and do not
switch off ESP ®
.
When using an emergenc yspare wheel you
must not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h. G
WARNING
Have the emergenc yspare wheel/spare
wheel replaced with anew wheel as soon as
possible at aqualified 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

Vehicles without an emergenc yspare
wheel/spare wheel are not equipped with
wheel-changing tools at the factory. For
more information on which tools are
required to perform awheel change on your
vehicle, e.g. wheel chock,w heel wrench or
centring pin, consult aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre.
X Prepare the vehicle as described
(Y page 296).
X Ifat railer is coupled to the vehicle, uncou-
