If it is permitted by law to operate communi-
cations equipment whilet
he vehicle is in
motion, you must only do so if the traffic sit-

Two-way radios and fa xequipment used with-
out low-reflection exterior aerials can inter-
fere with the vehicle's electronic sand thereby
jeopardise the operatin gsafety of the vehicle
and your safety. Therefore, you must only use
this equipment if it is correctly connected to
as eparate reflection-free exterior aerial. G
WARNING
Excessiv elevels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the
health of others. Using an exterior aerial takes
int oa ccoun tcurren tscientific discussions
relatin gtothe possible health risk posed by
electromagnetic fields.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of an
approved exterior aerial. This ensures:
R optimal mobile phone reception quality in
the vehicle
R mutual influences between the vehicle
electronic sand mobile phones are mini-
mised
An exterior aerial has the following advan-
tages:
R it conducts the electromagnetic fields gen-
erated by awireless device to the exterior.
R the field strengt hinthe vehicle interior is
lower than in avehicle that does not have
an exterior aerial.

WARNING
Make sure that there is sufficient clearance
around the pedalsw henf loormats are used,
and that the floormats are properly secured.
The floormats must be correctly secured at all
times using the securing knob and retainers.
Before you drive off ,chec kthe floormats and
secure them if necessary. Afloormat which is
not properly secured can slip and thereby
interfere with the movemen tofthe pedals.
Do not place floormats on top of one another. X

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 the important safety precautions when handling batteries. You will find these under
"Battery (vehicle) -important safety notes" in the index. G
WARNING
Non-combusted fuel can collect in the exhaust system and ignite. There is arisk of fire. Avoid
repeated and lengthy starting attempts.
! Vehicles with apetrol engine: avoid repeated and length ystarting attempts. Otherwise,
th en on-combusted fuel may damage th ecatalytic converter.
Do not use arapid chargin gdevic etos tart th evehicle. If your vehicle's batter yisdischarged,
the engin ecan be jump-started from another vehicle or from asecon dbatter yusing jump
leads. Observe the following points:
R The batter yisnot accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's batter yisnot accessible,
jump-start the vehicle using asecond battery or ajump-starting device.
R vehicles with apetrol engine: onlyjump-star tthe vehicle when the engine and exhaust
system are cold.
R do not start the engine if the battery is frozen.L et the battery thaw first.
R jump-starting may only be performed from batteries with anominal voltage of 12 V.
R only use jump leads that have asufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
R if the battery is fully discharged, leave the battery that is being used to jump-start connected
for afew minutes before attempting to start. This charges the empty battery alittle.
R make sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
Make sure that:
R The jump leads are not damaged.
R Non-insulated parts of the terminal clamps do not come into contact with other metal parts
while the jump leads are connected to the battery.
R the jump leads cannot come into contact with parts such as the V-belt pulleyort he fan.
These parts move when the engine is started and while it is running.
X Firmly depress the parking brake.
X Shift the transmission to position P.

Tyre pressure monitor
Important safety notes It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre
pressure to the recommende dcold tyre pres-
sure suitable for the operating situation
(Y page 331). Note that the correc ttyre pres-
sur efor the curren toperating situation must
first be taught-in to the tyre pressure monitor.
If there is asubstantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message is
aligned to the referencev alues taught-in.
Restart the tyre pressure monitor after
adjusting to the cold tyre pressure
(Y page 335). The current pressures are
saved as new referencev alues. This will
ensure that awarning message will only
appearift he tyre pressure drops significantly.
The tyre pressure monitor does not warn you
of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe
the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 331).
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by aforeign object.Int he
event of asudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering manoeuvres.
If at yre pressure monitor system is fitted, the
vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tyre pressures in all four tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor warns you if the
pressure drops in one or more of the tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor only functions if
the corresponding sensors are fitted to all
wheels.
Information on tyre pressures is displayed in
the multifunction display. After afew minutes
of driving, the current tyre pressure of each
tyre is shown in the multifunction display.
The tyre pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at afilling station using apressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, the tyre pressure values indicated by
apressure gauge are
higher than those shown by the on-board
computer. In this case, do not reduce the tyre
pressures.
The operation of the tyre pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio
transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head-
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.
Checking tyrep ressureelectronically X
Make sure that the key is in position
2(Y page 141) in the ignition lock.
X Press the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Serv. 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 was parked for longer than
20 minutes the Tyre pressures will be displayed after
afew minutes of driving message is shown.
After ateach-in period, the tyre pressure
monitor automatically recognises new
wheels or new sensors. If aclear allocation of
the tyre pressure values to the individual
wheels is not possible, the Tyre pressure monitor active message is shown instead
of the tyre pressure display. The tyre pres-
sures are already being monitored.
i If an emergency spare wheel is fitted, the
system may continue to show the tyre pres-
sure of the wheel that has been removed
for afew minutes. If this occurs, note that
the value displayed for the position where
the spare wheel is fitted is not the same as
the current tyre pressure of the emergency
spare wheel. 334
