R
Do not switch off ESP ®
.
R Have the spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel in question replaced at the nearest
qualified specialist workshop. Make sure
that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre
type are correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different 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 should regularly check the pressure of
the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec- essary (Y page 458). The value on the wheel is
valid. In addition, the emergency spare wheel
tyre pressure can be found under "Technical
data" (Y page 476).
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
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 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
system or the tyre pressure monitor cannot
function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-
sure 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, the system
may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value
displayed for the position where the emer-
gency spare wheel is fitted is not the same as
the current tyre pressure of the emergency
spare wheel. Removing the emergency spare wheel
The emergency spare wheel is secured in the emergency spare wheel bag in the luggage
compartment.
X Open the luggage compartment.
X Detach the fastening straps.
X Unhook retaining spring hooks of fastening
straps from the retainers.
X Remove the emergency spare wheel bag

Useful information
i This Owner's Manual describes all mod-
els, series and optional equipment for your
vehicle that were available at the time of
going to press. National variations are pos- sible. Note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all of the functions descri-
bed. This is also the case for systems and
functions relevant to safety.
i Read the information on qualified special-
ist workshops: (Y page 28). Information on technical data
i The technical data was determined in
accordance with EU Directives. All data
applies to the vehicle's standard equip-
ment. The data may therefore differ for
vehicles with optional equipment. You can
obtain further information from a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
! Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such
as control units, sensors, actuating com-
ponents and connector leads, at a qualified specialist workshop. Vehicle components
may otherwise wear more quickly and the
vehicle's operating permit may be invalida-
ted. Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters) G
WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi- ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera- tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you operate RF transmitters incorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfere with the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not a low-reflection type
This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating RF transmitters in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of
RF transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R observe the maximum permissible out-
put in these wavebands.
R only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus- sion surrounding the possible health risk
posed by electromagnetic fields. 478

Approved aerial positions
:
Front roof area
; Rear roof area
= Rear wing
i On vehicles with panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to the front or rear roof
area is not permitted.
On the rear wing, it is recommended that
you position the aerial on the side of the
vehicle closest to the centre of the road.
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines for fitting
aftermarket radio frequency transmitting
equipment") when retrofitting RF (radio fre-
quency) transmitters. Comply with the legal
requirements for add-on parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's additional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or aerial positions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz. The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at
the base of the aerial must not exceed the
following values: Waveband Maximum

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, naked flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refuelling. G
WARNING
Fuels are poisonous and hazardous to health. There is a danger of injury.
Do not swallow fuel or let it come into contact
with skin, eyes or clothing. Do not inhale fuel
vapours. Keep fuels out of the reach of chil-
dren.
If you or others come into contact with fuel,
observe the following:
R Wash the fuel off any affected areas of skin
with water and soap immediately.
R If you get fuel in your eyes, rinse them thor-
oughly with clean water immediately. Seek immediate medical attention.
R If fuel is swallowed, seek immediate medi-
cal attention. Do not induce vomiting.
R Change any clothing that has come into
contact with fuel immediately. Service products and capacities

Fuel grade
! Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
petrol engine. Do not switch on the ignition if you accidentally refuel with the wrong
fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel
system. Even small amounts of the wrong
fuel can result in damage to the fuel system
and the engine. Notify a qualified specialist
workshop and have the fuel tank and fuel
lines drained completely.
! Only refuel using unleaded petrol with at
least 95 RON that conforms to the Euro-
pean standard EN 228 or E DIN 51626-1 or
an equivalent specification.
Fuel of this specification may contain up to 10% ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use
with E10 fuel. You may refuel your vehicle
using E10 fuel.
Fuel that does not conform to EN 228 or
E DIN 51626–1 can lead to increased wear
as well as damage to the engine and
exhaust system. i
E10 fuel contains up to 10% bioethanol.
Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10
fuel. You may refuel your vehicle using E10 fuel.
! Only use the fuel recommended. Operat-
ing the vehicle with other fuels can lead to
engine failure.
! Do not use the following:
R E85 (petrol with 85% ethanol)
R E100 (100% ethanol)
R M15 (petrol with 15% methanol)
R M30 (petrol with 30% methanol)
R M85 (petrol with 85% methanol)
R M100 (100% methanol)
R Petrol with additives containing metal
R Diesel
Do not mix such fuels with the fuel recom-
mended for your vehicle.
Usually you will find information about the
fuel grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label on the petrol pump, ask the filling sta-
tion staff.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular unleaded petrol with an octane rating of
91 RON. This may reduce engine perform-
ance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid
driving at full throttle and sudden accelera-
tion. Never refuel using fuel with a lower RON.
i In some countries, the available petrol
may not be sufficiently low in sulphur. This fuel can temporarily produce unpleasant
odours, especially on short journeys. As
soon as sulphur-free fuel (sulphur content
<1 0 ppm) is used for refuelling, the odours
are reduced.
Information on refuelling (Y page 204).
GLC 300 4MATIC ! Only refuel using super unleaded petrol
with at least 98 ROZ, if you want maximum
performance from the engine. Alterna-
tively, you can also use unleaded petrol of
at least 95 ROZ. 482
