R
only use a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size briefly.
R do not switch ESP ®
off.
R have a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size replaced at the
nearest qualified specialist workshop.
Observe that the wheel and tire dimensions
as well as the tire type must be correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size, you must not
exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
Snow chains must not be mounted on
emergency spare wheels. General notes
You should regularly check the pressure of
the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as
necessary (Y page 334). The applicable value
is found on the wheel or under "Technical
data" ( Ypage 359).
i When you are driving with the collapsible
spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure
loss warning system or the tire pressure
monitor cannot function reliably. Only
restart the tire pressure loss warning
system/the tire pressure monitor when the
damaged wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor:
after mounting an emergency spare wheel,
the system may still display the tire
pressure of the removed wheel for a few
minutes. The value displayed for the
mounted emergency spare wheel is not the
same as the current tire pressure of the
emergency spare wheel.
An emergency spare wheel may also be
mounted against the direction of rotation.
Observe the time restriction on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the
emergency spare wheel. Replace the tires after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel. Collapsible spare wheel
Removing the collapsible emergency
spare wheel The collapsible spare wheel can be found in
the stowage well under the cargo
compartment floor.

Lift the cargo compartment floor up
(Y page 281). X
Remove stowage compartment 0043.
X Turn retaining screw 0044counter-clockwise
and remove it.

spare wheel from the vehicle tool kit.
For further information on changing a wheel
and mounting the spare wheel, see
(Y page 314).
Inflating the collapsible spare wheel !
Inflate the collapsible spare wheel using

X
Pull connector 0085and the air hose out of
the housing.
X Remove the cap from the valve on the
collapsible spare wheel.
X Screw union nut 0043on the air hose onto the
valve.
X Make sure on/off switch 0083of the tire
inflation compressor is set to 0.
X Insert plug 0085into the socket of the
cigarette lighter (Y page 284) or into a 12 V
power socket (Y page 284) in your vehicle.
X Make sure that the SmartKey is in position
1(Y page 145) in the ignition lock.
X Press on/off switch 0083on the tire inflation
compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated. The tire pressure is
shown on pressure gauge 0087.
! Do not operate the tire inflation
compressor for longer than eight minutes
at a time without a break. It may otherwise
overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be
operated again once it has cooled down.
X Inflate the tire to the specified tire
pressure.
The specified tire pressure is printed on the
yellow label of the emergency spare wheel.
X When the specified tire pressure has been
reached, press on/off switch 0083on the
electric air pump to 0.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
off. X
Turn the SmartKey to position 0in the
ignition lock.
X If the tire pressure is higher than the
specified pressure, press pressure release
button 0044until the correct tire pressure has
been reached.
X Unscrew union nut 0043on the air hose from
the valve.
X Screw the cap onto the valve of the
collapsible spare wheel again.
X Stow plug 0085and the air hose in the lower
section of the blower housing.
X Stow the tire inflation compressor in the
vehicle.
Stowing a used collapsible spare wheel Take the following steps to stow a used
collapsible spare wheel. Otherwise, the
collapsible spare wheel will not fit in the spare
wheel well. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you have this work carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
!
Only place the collapsible spare wheel in
the vehicle when it is dry. Otherwise,
moisture may get into the vehicle.
X Remove the valve extractor from the
vehicle tool kit.
X Unscrew the valve cap from the valve.
X Unscrew the valve insert from the valve and
release the air.
i Fully deflating the tires can take a few
minutes.
X Screw the valve insert back into the valve.
X Screw the valve cap back on.
X Place the valve extractor back into the
vehicle tool kit.
X Stow the collapsible spare wheel in the
emergency spare wheel well under the
cargo compartment and fasten in place. Emergency spare wheel

! Always use a suitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosion and
overheating.
i Have the coolant regularly replaced at a
qualified specialist workshop and the
replacement confirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
(Y page 367).
The coolant is a mixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
R corrosion protection
R antifreeze protection
R raising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the
coolant during operation is approximately
266 ‡ (130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
R be at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35 ‡ (-37 †).
R not exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49 ‡ [-45 †]). Otherwise, heat
will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal
amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in
accordance with MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1.
i When the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled with a coolant mixture that ensures adequate antifreeze and corrosion
protection.
i The coolant is checked with every
maintenance interval at a qualified
specialist workshop.

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Windshield washer concentrate is highly
flammable. If it comes into contact with hot
engine components or the exhaust system it
could ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer
concentrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or
MB WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid
could damage the plastic lenses of the
headlamps.
! Do not add distilled or de-ionized water to
the washer fluid container. Otherwise, the
level sensor may be damaged.
! Only MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit
washer fluid should be mixed together. The
spray nozzles may otherwise become
blocked.
When handling washer fluid, observe the
important safety notes on service products
(Y page 367). Service products and filling capacities
