383Maintenance and care Z

!
Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly after having cleaned the wheels with wheel cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and
brake pads/linings. For this reason, you
should drive for afew minutes after clean-
ing. Braking heats the brake discs and the
brake pads/linings, thus drying them. The
vehicle can then be parked up.
Regular care of your vehicle is acondition for
retaining the quality in the long term.
Use care products and cleaning agents rec-
ommended and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Washing the vehiclea

Automatic car wash G
WARNING
Braking efficiency is reduced after the vehicle has been washed.T here isarisk of an acci-
dent.
After washing the vehicle, brake carefully
while paying attention to the traffic conditions in order to restore full braking efficiency.
! When DISTRONIC PLUS or the HOLD
function is activated, the vehicle brakes
automaticallyinc ertain situations.
To avoid damage to the vehicle, deactivate DISTRONIC PLUS and the HOLD function in
the following or similars ituations:
R when towing away
R in ac ar wash
! Make sure that:
R the side windows and sliding sunroof are
closed completely.
R the blowerf or the ventilation/heating is
switched off (OFF button is depressed).
R the windscreen wiper switch is at posi-
tion 0.
The vehicle could otherwise be damaged. !
In car washes with
atowing mechanism,
make sure that the automatic transmission
is in transmission position N;otherwise,
the vehicle could be damaged.
R Vehicles with DIRECT SELECT lever and
key:
do not remove the key from the ignition
lock. Do not open the driver's door or
front-passenger door when the engine is

automaticallya nd locks the wheels. You
can prevent this by shifting the auto-
matic transmission to Nbeforehand.
R Vehicles with DIRECT SELECT lever and
KEYLESS-GO:
do not open the driver's door or front-
passenger door when the engine is
switched off. Otherwise, the automatic
transmission selects park position P
automaticallya nd locks the wheels.
! If the key is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, situations such as
the following could lead to the uninten-
tional opening of the boot lid/tailgate:
R using acar wash
R using ahigh-pressure cleaner
Make sure that the key is at least 3maway
fro mt hevehicle.
Observe th efollowing to mak esure that the

X Press on/of fswitch =on the tyre inflation
compressor to I.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched
on. The tyre is inflated.
First ,tyre sealant is pumped into the tyre.
The pressure may briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tyrei nflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Let the tyre inflation compressor run for
five minutes. The tyre should then have
attained apressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
If ap ressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi )has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre
pressure reached" (Y page 400).
If at yre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has not been attained after five minutes, see "Tyre pressure not reached" (Y page 400).If the tyre sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It
can then be removed like alayer of film.
If you get tyre sealant on your clothing, have it cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene.
Tyrep ressure not reached If
ap ressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi )has
not been attained after five minutes:
X Switc hoff the tyre inflation compressor.
X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 10 m.
X Pump up the tyre again.
After amaximum of five minutes the tyre
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi). G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after the specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this instance. Damaged tyres and atyre
pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.

WARNING
At yre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
