MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
General notes With MOExtended tyres (tyre
swith run-flat
characteristics), you can continue to drive
yourv ehicleeven if there is atotal loss of
pressure in one or more tyres. The affected
tyre must not show any clearly visible dam-
age.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the
tyre wall. You willf ind this marking next to the
tyre size designation, the load-bearing capa-
city and the spee dindex.
MOExtended tyres may only be usedinc on-
junction with an activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor.
If ap ressure lossw arningmessage
appears in the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sage s(Ypage3 22)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
is approximately 80 km when the vehicl eis
partiallyl aden and approximately 30 km
when the vehicl eisfullyladen.
In addition to the vehicl eload, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
R vehicl espeed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/manoeuvres ,oritcan be increased
through amoderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
is counted from the moment the tyre pressure loss warning appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
You must not exceed amaximu mspee dof
80 km/h. When replacing one or all tyres, observe the
following specifications for yourv
ehicle's
tyres:
R size
R the type and
R the "MOExtended "mark.
If at yre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOExtended tyre, astandard tyre
may be usedasat emporary measure. Make
sure that you use the prope rsize and type
(summer or winter tyre).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It is
therefore recommende dthat you additionally
equip yourv ehiclewithaTIREFIT kit if you fit
tyres that do not feature run-fla tcharacteris-
tics, e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can be
obtained from aqualified specialist work-
shop.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner-
ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is arisk of accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximu mspeed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving manoeu-
vres, and driving over obstacles (kerbs, pot-
holes, off-road). This appliesinp articulartoa
laden vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
R you hearb anging noises.
R the vehicl estarts to shake.
R you see smoke and smell rubber.
R ESP ®
is intervening constantly.
R there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
whee lrims checked at aqualified specialist
worksho pwith regard to their further use .The
faulty tyre must be replaced. 398

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.
Tyrep ressure reached G
WARNING
At yre temporarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is arisk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed the specified maximum speed with atyre that
has been repaired using tyre sealant.
The maximum speed for atyre sealed with
tyre sealant is 80 km/h. The upper part of the
TIREFI Tsticker must be affixed to the instru- 400

ment cluster where it willbee
asily seen by
the driver.
! After use, excess tyre sealant may run out
of the filler hose. This could caus estains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit. H
Environmental note
Have the used tyre sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at aqualified specialist
workshop.
If at yre pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained after five minutes:
X Switch off the tyre inflation compressor.
X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tyre.
X Stow the tyre sealant bottle, the tyre infla-
tion compresso rand the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately.
X Stop after driving for approximatel yten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the tyre inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). G
WARNING
If the required tyre pressure is not reached
after driving for ashort period, the tyre is too
badly damaged. The tyre sealant cannot
repair the tyre in this instance. Damage dtyres
and atyre pressure that is too low can signif-
icantly impair the vehicle's braking and driv-
ing characteristics. There is arisk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
i In yourv
ehicle, you willf indasticker with
the Mercedes-Benz Service24h telephone
number, e.g. on the B-pillar on the driver's
side.
X Correct the tyre pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the fuel filler
flap for values.
X To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the tyre inflation compressor. X
To reduce the tyre pressure: depress
pressure release button Enext to pres-
sure gauge F.
X When the tyre pressure is correct, unscrew
the filler hose from the valve of the sealed
tyre.
X Screw the valve cap onto the tyre valve of
the sealed tyre.
X Pullt he tyre sealant bottle out of the tyre
inflation compressor.
The filler hose stays on the tyre sealant
bottle.
X Drive to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the tyre changed there.
X Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced as
soon as possible at aqualified specialist
workshop.
X Have the tyre sealant bottle replaced every
four years at aqualified specialist work-
shop. Battery (vehicle)

atin gsafet yofy our vehicle may be restricted.
You could lose control of the vehicle, for
example:
R when braking

WARNING
Electrostatic build-up can lead to the creation of sparks, which could ignit ethe highly explo-
sive gases of abattery. There is arisk of an
explosion.
Before handlin gthe battery, touc hthe vehicle
body to remove any existin gelectrostatic
build-up.
The highly flammable gas mixture is created
while the battery is charging and when jump-
starting.
Always make sure that neither you nor the
