Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate is open when the engine is running, particu-
larly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust fumes
could enter the passenger compartment.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the tail-
gate. Never drive with the tailgate open. 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 tailgate swings upwards and out when
opening. Therefore, make sure that there is
sufficient space above the tailgate.
The opening dimensions of the tailgate can be
found in the "Vehicle data" section
(Y page 281).
If the rear spoiler has been extended manually,
the height when opened is higher by this
amount. If in doubt, retract the rear spoiler again manually before opening the tailgate
(Y page 224).
You can switch the luggage compartment light-
ing on and off manually on the overhead control
panel (Y page 91).
Do not leave the key in the luggage compart-
ment. You could otherwise lock yourself out.
Stow luggage or loads preferably in the luggage compartment. Observe the loading guidelines
(Y page 217). Luggage compartment

Warning messages of the tyre pressure
monitor If the tyre pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tyres, a warning message is shown in the multifunction display. The yellow
tyre pressure warning lamp then lights up.
R If the Please correct tyre pressure
Please correct tyre pressure
message appears in the multifunction display,
the tyre pressure in at least one tyre is too
low. The tyre pressure must be corrected
when the opportunity arises.
R If the Check Check tyre(s)
tyre(s) message appears in the
multifunction display, the tyre pressure in at
least one tyre has dropped significantly. The
tyres must be checked.
R If the Warning tyre defect Warning tyre defect message
appears in the multifunction display, the tyre
pressure in at least one tyre has dropped sud- denly. The tyres must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(Y page 189).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tyre pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for a short time. After a
few minutes of driving, this is rectified and the
tyre pressures are displayed for the correct
positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the cur-
rently set tyre pressures as the reference values
for monitoring. In most cases, the tyre pressure monitor will automatically detect the new refer-
ence values after you have changed the tyre
pressure. However, you can also set reference
values manually as described here. The tyre
pressure monitor then monitors the new tyre
pressure values.
X Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler flap
to ensure that the tyre pressure is set cor-
rectly in all four tyres for the current operating
conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on tyre
pressures (Y page 264).
X Switch the ignition on (Y page 103).

If you wish to cancel the restart: X Press the %button.
The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored. Changing a wheel
Flat tyre
You can find information on what to do in the
event of a flat tyre in the "Breakdown assis-
tance" section (Y page 247).
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel: in
the event of a flat tyre, the emergency spare
wheel is fitted according to the description
under "Fitting a wheel" (Y page 268). 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 Changing a wheel

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 mon-
itor, electronic components are located in the wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in thearea of the valve, as this could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging 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 268).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before a clear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres typi-
cally 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 5000 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 reac-
tivate the tyre pressure monitor if necessary. Direction of rotation
Tyres with a specified direction of rotation have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk of aqua- planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tyres are fitted corresponding to the direc-
tion 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

X Safeguard the vehicle against rolling away.
i Apart from some country-specific variants,
vehicles are not equipped with tyre-changing
tools. Some tools for changing a wheel are
specific to the vehicle. For more information
on which tools are required to perform a
wheel change on your vehicle, consult a quali- fied specialist workshop.
Necessary tyre-changing tools may include,
for example:
R jack
R wheel chock
R wheel wrench
R centring pin

Changing a wheelWheels and tyres

The recommended tyre pressures can be found
in the tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure, see
(Y page 264). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always fit the
vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size across an axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres on all wheels at a
given time (summer tyres, winter tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit a different
type or make in the event of a flat tyre. Emergency spare wheel
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The wheel/tyre dimensions and the tyre type of the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ. Fit-
ting a spare wheel/emergency spare wheel
may severely impair the driving characteris-
tics. There is a risk of accident.
To prevent hazardous situations:
R Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-
gency spare wheel if the dimensions are
different to those of the wheel being
replaced.
R Only use a spare wheel/emergency spare
wheel briefly if the dimensions are different to those of the wheel being replaced.
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 can ask for information regarding permitted emergency spare wheels at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (Y page 264).
The value on the wheel is valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim- itation 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.
i If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure monitor cannot function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-
sure monitor when the defective wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
If an emergency spare wheel is fitted, for a few minutes the system may continue to show the
tyre pressure of the wheel that has been
removed. The value displayed for the position
where the emergency spare wheel is fitted is
not the same as the current tyre pressure of
the emergency spare wheel. Removing the collapsible emergency
spare wheel
The collapsible emergency spare wheel is
secured in emergency spare wheel bag

the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trate does not come into contact with the filler neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB
WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid could dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and Win-
terFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying
nozzles could become blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give a false reading.
At temperatures above freezing: X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with a mixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB SummerFit.
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 WinterFit.
For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the infor- mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
year round. Vehicle data
