occupants. There is ariskofi njury, especially
whe nbraking or abruptly changing directions.
Alway sstore objects so that they cannot be
flung around .Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The boo
tlid swings upwards whe nopened.
Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient
clearance above the boo tlid.
The opening dimensions of the boo tlid can be
found in the "Vehicl edata" section
(Y page 377).
You can limit the opening angl eofthe boo tlid in
the multimedi asystem (se ethe Digital Owner's
Manual).
Do not leave the key in the boot. You could oth- erwise lock yoursel fout.

Only release the ball coupling if the pivoting
range is unobstructed. Alwaysm ake sure that
the ball coupling engages when folding in.
When reversing the vehicle towards the trailer,
make sure there is nobody between the trailer
and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully.Ify ou
do not couple the trailer to the towing vehicle
correctly, the trailer could become detached.
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristics will be different in comparison to when driving without atrailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
R is heavier
R is restricted in its acceleration and gradient-
climbing capability
R has an increased braking distance
R is affected more by strong crosswinds
R demands more sensitive steering
R has alarger turning circle
This can impair the vehicle's handling charac-
teristics. Adapt your driving style accordingly.
Maintain asafe distance. Drive carefully.
When towing atrailer, always adjust your speed
to the current road and weather conditions. Do
not exceed the maximum permissibles peed for
your vehicle/trailer combination. Notes on towing
atrailer
General notes Trailer towing is not permissibleont
he following
models:
R Mercedes AMG C63
R Mercedes AMG C63S
When towing atrailer, set the tyre pressure on
the rear axle of the towing vehicle for the max-
imum load. Further information on the tyre pres-
sure table in the fuel filler flap (Y page 356).
On vehicles without level control, the height of
the ball coupling will alter according to the load
placed on the vehicle. If necessary, use atrailer
with aheight-adjustable drawbar.
You will find fitting dimensions and loads under "Technical data" (Y page 378). Driving tips Observe the notes on ESP
®
trailer stabilisation
(Y page 74).
The maximum permissibles peed for vehicle/
trailer combinations depends on the type of
trailer. Before beginning the journey, check the
trailer's documents to see what the maximum
permitted speed is. Observe the legally prescri-
bed maximum speed in the relevant country.
For certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the maxi-
mum permissibler ear axle load is increased
when towing atrailer. See the "Technical data"
section to find out whether this applies to your
vehicle (Y page 378). If you utilise any of the
added maximum rear axle load when towing a
trailer, the vehicle/trailer combination may not
exceed amaximum speed of 100 km/h for rea-
sons concerning the operating permit. This also applies in countries in which the permissible
maximum speed for vehicle/trailer combina-
tions is above 100 km/h.
When towing atrailer, your vehicle's handling
characteristics will be different in comparison to
when driving without atrailer and it will con-
sume more fuel.
Change into alower gear in good time on long
and steep downhill gradients.
This also applies if cruise control, DISTRONIC
PLUS or SPEEDTRONIC are activated.
This will use the braking effect of the engine, so
less braking will be required to maintain vehicle speed. This relieves the load on the brake sys-
tem and prevents the brakes from overheating
and wearing too quickly. If you need additional
braking, depress the brake pedal repeatedly
rather than continuously.
Driving tips If the trailer swings from side to side:
X Do not accelerate.
X Do not countersteer.
X Brake if necessary.
R Maintain agreater distance to the vehicle in
front than when driving without atrailer.
R Avoid braking abruptly.Ifp ossible,brake gen-
tly at first to allow the trailer to run on. Then,
increase the braking force rapidly.
R The valuesg iven for gradient-climbing capa-
bilities from astandstill refer to sea level.

You can find information on what to do in the
event of aflat tyre in the "Breakdown assis-
tance" section (Y page 337). Information on
driving with MOExtended tyres in the event of a flat tyre can be found under "Breakdown assis-
tance" (Y page 337).
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel: in
the event of aflat tyre, the emergency spare
wheel is fitted according to the description
under "Fitting awheel" (Y page 362). Interchanging the wheels
G
WARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tyres have different dimensions. The wheel brakes or suspension components may also be damaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions. !
On vehicles fitted with
atyre pressure mon-
itor, electronic componentsa re located in the
wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve, as this could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging the front and rear wheels of dif-
fering dimensions can render the general oper-
ating permit invalid.
Observe the instructionsa nd safety notes in the
"Fitting awheel" section (Y page 362).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres typi-
cally wear more on the shoulders and the rear
tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 to 10,000 km depending on the
degree of tyre wear. Ensure the direction of
rotation is maintained.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is
interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and, if
necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system (Y page 358) or the tyre pressure
monitor (Y page 360). Direction of rotation
Tyres with aspecified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk of aqua-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tyres are fitted corresponding to the direc-
tion of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Store wheels in acool, dry and preferably dark
place if they are not being used. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Changing

Notes on the vehicle equipment
–always fit the
vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size across an axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at agiven time
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit adifferent
type or make in the event of aflat tyre.
Observe the "MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics)" section
(Y page 337).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
yourv ehicle with aTIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that
do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualifieds pecialist workshop. Emergencys

WARNING
The wheel/tyre dimensions and the tyre type of the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ. Fit-
ting aspare wheel/emergency spare wheel
may severely impairt he driving characteris-
tics. There is arisk of accident.
To prevent hazardou ssituations:
R Adapt yourd riving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel if the dimensions are
different to those of the wheel being
replaced.
R Only use aspare wheel/emergency spare
wheel briefly if the dimensions are different to those of the wheel being replaced.
R Do not switch off ESP ®
.
R Have the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel in questionr eplaced at the nearest
qualifieds pecialist workshop. Make sure
that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre
type are correct. When using an emergency spare wheel or spare
wheel of adifferent size, you must not exceed
the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels. General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheelsataM ercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You shouldr egularly check the pressure of all
yourt yres, including the emergency spare
wheel,p articularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (Y page 356).
The valueont he wheel is valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim- itation specifie donthe emergency spare wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys- tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably.O nly restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor when
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after
fitting an emergency spare wheel,t he system
may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for afew minutes. The valued is-
played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur- rent tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel. Removing the emergencys
