The multifunction display shows the current
tyre pressure of each wheel.
If the vehicle was parked for longer than
20 minutes, the following message appears:
Tyre pressures will be displayed Tyre pressures will be displayed

message is shown instead of the tyre pressure
display. The tyre pressures are already being
monitored.
After an emergency spare wheel has been fitted, the system may still display the tyre pressure of
the removed wheel for a few minutes. If this
occurs, note that the value displayed for the
position where the spare wheel is fitted is not
the same as the current tyre pressure of the
emergency spare wheel.
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 on 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 on the multifunction dis-
play, 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 tyre(s)
Check tyre(s) message appears on
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 on 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 265).
If the position of the wheels on the vehicle is
changed, the tyre pressures may be displayed in
the wrong positions for a short time. After a few minutes of driving, this is rectified and the tyre
pressures are displayed in 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 345).

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 326). Information on
driving with MOExtended tyres in the event of a flat tyre can be found under "Breakdown assis-
tance" (Y page 326).
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 351). 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. 350

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 345).
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.
If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys- tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably. Restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system or tyre pressure monitor only once
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after an
emergency spare wheel has been fitted, the sys- tem may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value dis-
played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur- rent 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 boot.
X Open the boot.
X Detach the securing straps.
X Unhook the spring hooks of the securing
straps from the retainers.
X Remove the emergency spare wheel bag with
the emergency spare wheel.
X Open the emergency spare wheel bag and
remove the emergency spare wheel. Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes under "Changing a wheel"
(Y
