Useful information
iThis Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip- ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.
iRead the information on qualified special-
ist workshops ( Ypage 27).
Where will I find...?
Vehicle tool kit
General notes
The towing eye is located in the stowage well under the trunk floor.
iApart from certain country-specific varia-
tions, the vehicles are not equipped with a
tire-change tool kit. If the vehicle is equip-
ped with tire-changing tools, these are
located in the stowage well under the trunk floor. Some tools for changing a wheel are
specific to the vehicle. For more informa-
tion on which tire changing tools are
required and approved to perform a wheel
change on your vehicle, consult a qualifiedspecialist workshop.
Tools required for changing a wheel may
include, for example:
R Jack
R Wheel chock
R Lug wrench
R Ratchet wrench
R Alignment bolt
Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit
Example
:Tire sealant filler bottle
;Towing eye

X Open the trunk lid.
X Lift the trunk floor upwards ( Ypage 197).
X Use the TIREFIT kit ( Ypage 222).

Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with:
R tires with run-flat characteristics
(MOExtended tires) ( Ypage 221)
Vehicle preparation is not necessary on
vehicles with MOExtended tires
R a TIREFIT kit ( Ypage 220)
Information on changing/mounting a wheel( Y page 261).
X Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and
level ground, as far away as possible from
traffic.
X Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away(Y page 125).
X If possible, bring the front wheels into the
straight-ahead position.
X Switch off the engine.

nails.
X Remove the tire sealant bottle, the accom-
panying TIREFIT sticker and the tire infla-
tion compressor from the stowage well
underneath the trunk floor ( Ypage 220).
X Affix part :of the TIREFIT sticker within
the driver's field of vision.
X Affix part ;of the TIREFIT sticker near the

X Screw filler hose Donto valve C. X
Insert connector ?into a 12 V socket
( Y page 198) in your vehicle.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 1in the igni-
tion lock ( Ypage 115).
X Press on/off switch =on the tire inflation
compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated.
iFirst, tire sealant is pumped into the tire.
The pressure can briefly rise to approx-
imately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the tire inflation com-
pressor during this phase.
X Allow the tire inflation compressor to run
for five minutes. The tire should then have
attained a pressure of at least 180 kPa
(1.8 bar/26 psi).
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 ba r/26 psi) has
been attained after five minutes, see "Tire
pressure reached" ( Ypage 224).
If a tire pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been attained after five minutes, see"Tire pressure not reached" ( Ypage 223).
iIf tire sealant leaks out, allow it to dry. It
can then be removed like a layer of film.
If your clothes are soiled with tire sealant,
have them cleaned with perchloroethylene
at a dry cleaner as soon as possible.
Tire pressure not reached
If a pressure of 180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi) has not been attained after five minutes:
X Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
X Unscrew the filler hose from the valve of
the faulty tire.
X Very slowly drive forwards or reverse
approximately 30 ft (10 m).
X Pump up the tire again.
After a maximum of five minutes the tire
pressure must be at least 180 kPa (1.8 bar/
26 psi).

Fuses
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher amper-age, the electric cables could be overloaded.
This could result in a fire. There is a risk of an
accident and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with the specified
new fuses having the correct amperage.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognize by
the color and value. The fuse ratings are listed in the fuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is on the fuse box in
the trunk ( Ypage 236).
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
!Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system concerned. Otherwise, components or sys-
tems could be damaged.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-
nents on the circuit and their functions stop
operating.
Before changing a fuse
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away (Y page 125).
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Make sure that the ignition is switched off(Y page 115).
or
X When using the SmartKey, turn the Smart-
Key to position 0in the ignition lock and
remove it ( Ypage 115). All indicator lamps in the instrument cluster
must be off.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
R Fuse box on the driver's side of the dash-
board
R Fuse box in the front-passenger footwell
R Fuse box in the engine compartment on the
left-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed
in the direction of travel
R Fuse box in the trunk on the right-hand side
of the vehicle, when viewed in the direction
of travel
Dashboard fuse box
!
Do not use a pointed object such as a
screwdriver to open the cover in the dash-
board. You could damage the dashboard or
the cover.
!Make sure that no moisture can enter the
fuse box when the cover is open.
!When closing the cover, make sure that it
is lying correctly on the fuse box. Moisture
seeping in or dirt could otherwise impair
the operation of the fuses.
X Open the driver's door.
X To open: pull cover :outwards in the
direction of the arrow and remove it.
X To close: clip in cover :on the front of the
dashboard.
X Fold cover :inwards until it engages.
