2012 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS ESTATE warning light

Speeds up to 210 km/h(does not apply to
AMG vehicles): despite the values stated on
the tyre pressure information label (fuel filler
flap), for speeds up to 210 km/h andwith
R16 or R17 tyres, the values stated can be
reduced as follows without a reduction in
safety:
R Saloon: Ò30kPa (Ò0.3bar/Ò4psi)
R Estate: Ò20 kPa (Ò0.2 bar/Ò3p si)
This does not apply to vehicles towing a
trailer.
This improves the ride comfort of your vehi-
cle; however, the fuel consumption may
increase slightly. Tyre pressure loss warning system
Important safety notes While the vehicle is in motion, the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
tyre pressure using the rotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in a tyre. If the speed
of rotation of a wheel changes as a result of
a loss of pressure, a corresponding warning
message will appearint he multifunction dis-
play.
The tyre pressure warning system does not
warn you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure.
Observe the notes on the recommended tyre
pressure (Y page 383).
The tyre pressure loss warning system does
not replace the need to regularly check your
vehicle's tyre pressures, since an even loss of
pressure on several tyres at the same time
cannot be detected by the tyre pressure loss
warning system.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering manoeuvres. The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are fitted to your vehicle's
tyres.
R road conditions are wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel.
R you adopt a very sporty driving style (cor-
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
R you are towing a very heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with a heavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Restarting the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warning system
if you have:
R
changed the tyre pressure
R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, make sure that the tyre
pressures are set properly on all four tyres
for the respective operating conditions.
The recommended tyre pressures can be
found in the table on the fuel filler flap. The
tyre pressure loss warning system can only
give reliable warnings if you have set the
correct tyre pressure. If an incorrect tyre
pressure is set, these incorrectv alues will
be monitored.
X Also observe the notes in the sectio non
tyre pressures (Y page 383).
X Make sure tha tthe key is in posi-
tion 2(Ypage 161) in the ignition lock.
X Press =or; on the steering wheel
to select the Serv.Serv. menu.
X Press the 9or: button to select

X
Press the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The curren ttyre pressur efor 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 a few minutes of
driving message is shown.
After a teach-in period, the tyre pressure
monitor automatically recognises new
wheels or new sensors. If a clear allocation of
the tyre pressure values to the individual
wheels is not possible, the message is shown
instead of the tyre pressure display .The tyre
pressures 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 a few 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.
Warning messages of the tyre pressure
monitor If the tyre pressure monitor detects a signifi-
cant pressure loss on one or more tyres, a
warning message is shown in the multifunc-
tion display. Awarning tone also sounds and
the tyre pressure warning lamp lights up in
the instrument cluster.
Each tyre that is affected by a significant loss
of pressure is highlighted in the pressure dis-
play.
X If the Please correct tyre pressure message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, check the tyre pressure on all four
wheels and correct it if necessary.
i 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 restar
tthe 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 referencev alues after you
have changed the tyre pressure .However,
you can also define reference values man-
ually as described here. The tyre pressure
monitor then monitors the new tyre pressure
values.
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 383).
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 Serv. menu.
X Press the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The multifunction display shows the cur-
rent tyre pressure for each tyre or the
Tyre pressures displayed after a few minutes of driving message.
X Press the :button.
The multifunction display shows the Use current pressure values as new ref‐
erence values message.

If yourv
ehicle is equipped with a wheel chock,
it can be found in the tyre-change tool kit
(Y page 361).
The folding wheel choc kis an additional
securing measure to prevent the vehicle from
rolling away, for example when changing a
wheel.
X Fold both plates upwards :.
X Fold out lower plate ;.
X Guide the lugs on the lower plate fully into
the openings in base plate =.Securing the vehicle on level ground (example:
Saloon)
X
On level ground: place chocks or other
suitable items under the front and rear of
the wheel that is diagonally opposite the
wheel you wish to change. Securing the vehicle on slight downhill gradients
(example: Saloon)
X On light downhill gradients: place
chocks or other suitable items in front of
the wheels of the front and rear axle. Raising the vehicle G
WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
The following must be observed when raising
the vehicle:
R to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-
specific jack that has been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. If the jack is
used incorrectly, it could tip over while the
vehicle is raised.
R the jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed. It is not suited for per-
forming maintenance work under the vehi-
cle.
R avoid changing the wheel on uphill and
downhill slopes.
R before raising the vehicle, secure it from
rolling away by applying the parking brake
and inserting wheel chocks. Never disen-
gage the parking brake while the vehicle is
raised.
R the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a
large, load-bearing underlay must be used.
On a slippery surface, a non-slip underlay
must be used, e.g. rubber mats.
R do not use wooden blocks or similar
objects as a jack underlay.O therwise, the
jac kw ill not be able to achieve its load-
bearing capacity due to the restricted
height.
R make sure that the distance between the
underside of the tyres and the ground does
not exceed 3 cm.
R never place your hands or feet under the
raised vehicle. 390
