Clean sensors :of the driving systems
with water, car shampoo and a sof tcloth.
Cleaning the reversing camera !
Do not clean the camera lens and the area
around the reversing camera with a high-
pressure cleaner. X
Use clear water and a soft cloth to clean
camera lens :. Cleaning chrome parts !
Do not clean the exhaust pipe with acid-
based cleaning agents such as sanitary
cleansers or wheel cleaners.
Impurities combined with the effects of road
grit and corrosive environmental factors may
cause flash rust to form on the surface. You
can restore the original shine to the chrome
parts by cleaning the mregularly, especially in
winter and after washing.
X Clean the chrome parts with a chrome care
product tested and approved by Mercedes-
Benz.
Cleaning the trailer coupling H
Environmental note
Dispose of oily and greasy cloths in an envi-
ronmentally-responsible manner.
! Do not clean the ball coupling with a high-
pressure cleaner. Do not use solvents.
! Please note the care instructions in the
trailer coupling manufacturer's operating
instructions. Ball coupling
:must be cleaned if it
becomes dirty or corroded.
X After cleaning, lightly oil or grease ball cou-
pling :.
X Check that the vehicle's trailer tow hitch is
working properly.

detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Rub
carefully and always wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines. Leave
the seat to dry afterwards. Cleaning
results depend on the type of dirt and
how long it has been there.
i Note that regular care is essential to
make sure that the appearance and com-
fort of the covers are retained over time.
Cleaning the seat belts !
Do not clean the seat belts using chemical
cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat belts
at temperatures above 80 † or in direct
sunlight.
X Use clean, lukewarm water and soap solu-

Tyre pressure table
If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the tyre
pressure informatio
nfollowing is only valid
for that tyre size. Instead of the complete tyre size, the rim
diameter alone, for example
R16, may be lis-
ted. Rim diameter
:is part of the tyre size and
can be found on the tyre sidewall.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the
tyre pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
the tyre pressure.
On vehicles fitted with the electronic tyre
pressure monitor, the tyre pressure can be
checked using the on-board computer.
If possible, only correc ttyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direc tsunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has no tbeen driven further
than 1.6 km
Depending on the ambient temperature, the
speed you are driving at and the load on the
tyres, the tyre temperature and thus the tyre
pressure change by approximately 10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi) per 10 †. Take this into
accoun twhen checking the pressure of warm
tyres. Only correct the tyre pressure if it is too
low for the current operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have a negative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus the driving safety (e.g.
aquaplaning) 326
Tyre pressureWheels and tyres

ured at a filling station with a pressure gauge.
The tyre pressures shown by the on-board
computer refer to those measured at sea
level. At high altitudes, the tyre pressure val-
ues indicated by a pressur
egauge are higher
than those shown by the on-board computer.
In this case, do no treduce 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 tyre pressure electronically X
Make sure that the key is in position 2
(Y page 143)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 curren ttyre pressur efor each wheel
will be displayed in the multifunction dis-
play.
If the vehicle has been parked for over
20 minutes, the message Tyre pressureswill be displayed after a few
minutes of driving appears.
After a teach-in period, the tyre pressure
monitor automatically recognises new
wheels or new sensors. As long as a clear
allocation of the tyre pressure values to the
individual wheels is not possible, the Tyrepressure monitor active display mes-
sage is shown instead of the tyre pressure
display .The tyre pressures are already being
monitored.
i If a spare wheel is fitted, the system may
continue to show the tyre pressure 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
tyre is fitted is not the same as the spare
tyre's current tyre pressure. 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 pres‐ surePlease 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.
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 325).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2
(Y page 143) in the ignition lock.
X Press the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Serv. menu.328

General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benzr ec-
ommends that you only use tyres, wheels
and accessories which have been approved
by Mercedes-Benzs pecifically for your
vehicle. These tyres have been specially
adapted for use with the driving safety sys-
tems, such as ABS or ESP ®
.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz .Cer-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with aload, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components.T his could result in dam-
age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Ben zaccepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories othe rthan those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as a result of driving over obstacles
increases.
i You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y
page 325). Check tyre pressures
regularly and only when the tyres are cold.
i Notes on the vehicle equipment –always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R fit the same type of tyres on your vehicle
at a given time (summer tyres, winter
tyres, all-weather tyres, All Terrain tyres)
