Important safety notes
G
WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, especially when braking or abruptly changing directions.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
! The boot lid swings upwards when
opened. Therefore, make sure that there is sufficient clearance above the boot lid.
i You can limit the opening angle of the
boot lid in COMAND Online (see separate
operating instructions).
i The opening dimensions of the boot lid
can be found in the "Vehicle data" section
(Y page 410).
Do not leave the key in the boot. You could
otherwise lock yourself out.
Stow luggage or loads preferably in the boot.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 316). Obstacle detection with boot lid
reversing feature
On vehicles with boot lid remote closing fea-
ture, the boot lid is equipped with automatic
obstacle detection with reversing function. If
a solid object blocks or restricts the boot lid
when automatically opening or closing, this
procedure is stopped. If the boot lid is stop-
ped during the closing procedure, it will open 94
BootOpening and closing
again automatically. The automatic obstacle
recognition with reversing function is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attentive-
ness when opening and closing the boot lid. G
WARNING
The reversing function does not react:
R to soft, light and thin objects, e.g. small fin-
gers
R over the last 8 mm of the closing path
This means that the reversing feature cannot
prevent someone being trapped in these sit-
uations. There is a risk of injury.
When closing make sure that no body parts
are in the closing area.
If someone is trapped:
R press the Fbutton on the key or
R pull or press the remote operating switch
on the driver's door or
R press the closing or locking button on the
boot lid. Opening/closing automatically from

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Parts of the body could become trapped dur-
ing automatic closing of the boot lid. More-
over, people, e.g. children, may be standing in the closing area or may enter the closing area
during the closing process. There is a risk of
injury.
Make sure that nobody is in the vicinity of the closing area during the closing process.
Use one of the following options to stop the
closing process:
R press the Fbutton on the key.
R pull or press the remote operating switch
on the driver's door.
R press the closing or locking button on the
boot lid. !

lid could thus be opened or closed unin-
tentionally, for example, if you:
- sit on the edge of the boot
- set down or lift up an object behind the
vehicle
- polish the rear of the vehicle
Do not carry the KEYLESS-GO key about
your person in such situations. This will
prevent the unintentional opening/closing
of the boot.
R Dirt caused by road salt around sensors :
may restrict functionality.
R Using HANDS-FREE ACCESS with a pros-
thetic leg may restrict functionality.
Operation X
To open/close: kick into sensor detection
range :under the bumper with your leg.
You will hear a warning tone while the boot lid is opening or closing.
X If the boot lid does not open after sev-
eral attempts: wait at least ten seconds
then kick under the bumper once again.
i If you hold your foot under the bumper for
too long, the boot lid does not open or
close. Repeat the kicking movement more
quickly if this occurs.
Stopping the opening or closing procedure:
R kick with your leg in the sensor detection
range :under the bumper or
R press the closing button in the boot lid, or
R press the Fbutton on the key If the boot lid closing procedure has been
stopped:
R move your foot under the bumper again and
the boot lid will open

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 a risk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions.
! On vehicles fitted with a tyre pressure
monitor, electronic components are loca-
ted 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 a qualified spe- cialist workshop.
Interchanging the front and rear wheels of
differing dimensions can render the general
operating permit invalid.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the "Fitting a wheel" section (Y page 386).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres differ depending on the operating conditions.Interchange the wheels before a clear wear
pattern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres
typically 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.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and,
if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system (Y page 385) or the tyre pres-
sure monitor (Y page 383) . Direction of rotation
Tyres with a specified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk of aquaplaning. These advantages can only begained if the tyres are fitted corresponding to
the direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates
its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Store wheels in a cool, dry and preferably
dark place if they are not being used. Protect the tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Fitting a wheel
Preparing the vehicle X
Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and
level ground.
X Apply the electric parking brake manually.
X Move the front wheels to the straight-
ahead position.
X Shift the transmission to position P.
X Make sure that "normal" level is selected
for AIRMATIC (Y page 210).
X Switch off the engine.
X Open the driver's door.
The on-board electronics now have status
0. This is the same as the key having been
removed.
X Remove the Start/Stop button from the
ignition lock (Y page 161).
or, if the key is inserted in the ignition lock: X Remove the key from the ignition lock.
X If included in the vehicle equipment,
remove the tyre-change tool kit from the
vehicle.
X Safeguard the vehicle against rolling away.

!
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water in
the washer fluid reservoir. Otherwise, the
level sensor may be damaged.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and
WinterFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the
spraying nozzles could become blocked.
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit.
Mix 1 part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture
of water and washer fluid, e.g. MB Winter-
Fit.
The correct mixing ratio can be taken from
the information on the antifreeze protec-
tion container.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB
