ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
% Even when ESP ®
is deactivated, you are still
assis tedby ESP ®

is inter vening if the ESP ®
÷ warning
lamp flashes in the instrument clus ter:
R Do not deacti vate ESP ®
.
R Only depress the accelera tor pedal as far as
is necessar y.
R Adapt your driving style to suit the cur rent
ro ad and weather conditions.
Deactivate ESP ®
in thefo llowing situations to

R When using snow chains R
In deep sn ow
R On sand or gr avel
% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action which pr ovides better grip.

ing lamp lights up continuously in the instrument
clus ter.
If th e ESP ®

ETS/4ETS can impr ovetheve hicle's traction by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
R The drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
R More drive torque is transferred tothe wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive prog rams on ESP ®
The drive prog rams enable ESP ®
to adapt todif‐
fe re nt we ather and road conditions as well as

Pa rking Pilot sy stem limitations
Objects located abo veor below the de tection
ra nge of Parking Pilot are not de tected when the
parking space is being measured. These are also
not taken into account when the parking
manoeuvre is calculated, e.g. overhanging loads,
ov erhangs or loading ramp s of lor ries or the
boundaries of the parking space. In some cir‐
cums tances, Parking Pilot may therefore guide
yo u into the parking space prematurely. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Parking Pilot
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
R Parking Pilot may steer too ear ly.
R Vehicles with automatic transmis‐
sion: Thevehicle may not stop in front of
th ese objects.
This could cause a collision. #
Inthese situations, do not use Parking
Pilot. Sn
owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccuratel y.Pa rking
spaces that are partial lyoccupied bytrailer
dr aw bars might not be identified as such or be
measured incor rectly. Only use Parking Pilot on
le ve l, high-grip ground. Do not use
Parking Pilot, forex ample, in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R Inextreme weather conditions such as ice or
pac ked snow or in heavy rain.
R Ifyo u are transpo rting a load that pr otru des
be yond theve hicle.
R Ifth e parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
R Ifyo u ha veins talled snow chains.
Pa rking Pilot may also display parking spaces
th at are not suitable for parking, e.g.:
R Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
R Parking spaces on unsuitable sur faces.
Pa rking Pilot will not assist you with parking
spaces at right angles tothe direction of tr avel
in thefo llowing situations:
R If two parking spaces are located immedi‐
ately next toeach other.
R Ifth e parking space is directly next toa low
obs tacle su chas a low kerb. 218

Sn owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccurately or, in cer tain
cases, toconnection problems wi th the mobile

pied bytrailer dr awbars might not be identified
as such or be measured incor rectl y.Only use
Re mo teParking Pilot on a le vel, high-grip sur‐
fa ce. The pa rking space must be at least 0.60 m
wider than theve hicle without the outside mir‐
ro rs.
Do not use Remo teParking Pilot, forex ample, in

No
ise or unusual handling characteristics
While driving, pay attention tovibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling
to one side. This may indicate that the wheels or
tyres are damaged. If you suspect that a tyre is
defective, reduce your speed immediatel y.Stop
th eve hicle as soon as possible tocheck the
wheels and tyres for dama ge. Hidden tyre dam‐
age could also be causing the unusual handling
ch aracteristics. If youfind no signs of damage,
ha ve the tyres and wheels checked at a qualified
specialist workshop. Re
gular checking of wheels and ty res&
WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged tyres
Dama ged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose cont rol of your
ve hicle. #
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to
insuf ficient tyre tread
Insu fficient tyre tread will result in reduced
tyre grip. The tyre tread is no longer able to
dissipate water.
This means that in heavy rain or slush the
ri sk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular
where speed is not adap tedto suit the condi‐
tions.
If th e tyre pressure is too high or too lo w,
tyres may exhibit dif fere nt le vels of wear at
dif fere nt locations on the tyre tread. #
Thus, you should regularly check the
tread de pth and the condition of the
tread across the entire width of all
tyres.
Minimum tread dep thfor:
R Summer tyres: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm #
For saf etyre asons, replace the tyres
before the legally prescribed limit for
th e minimum tread dep thisreached. Car
ryout thefo llowing checks on all wheels reg‐
ularly, at least once a month or as requ ired, e.g.
prior toa long journey or driving off- road:
R Check the tyre pressure (→ page 402).
R Visual inspection of wheels and tyres for
damage.
R Check theva lve caps.
The valves must be pr otected against mois‐
ture and dirt bytheva lve caps appr oved
especially foryo ur vehicle byMercedes-Benz.
R Visual check of the tread dep thand the tyre
contac t surface across the entire width.
The minimum tread dep thfor summer tyres
is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm. Note

WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct snow chain fitting
If yo u ha vefitted snow chains tothe front
wheels, the snow chains may drag against
th eve hicle body or chassis components. Wheels and tyres

This could cause damage
totheve hicle or

TEDama getothe wheel trim from fit‐
te d snow chains If sn
ow ch ains are fitted tosteel wheels, the
wheel trims can be damaged. #
Remo vethe wheel trims of steel wheels
before fitting snow chains. R
Snow chains are on ly permissible for cer tain
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Cent re.
R For saf etyre asons, on lyuse sn owchains that
ha ve been specifically appr ovedfo ryo ur

with the same quality standard. R
If sn owchains are fitted, the maximum per‐
missible speed is 50 km/h.
R Vehicles with Parking Pilo t:Do not use
Pa rking Assist PARKTRONIC if sn ow chains
are fitted.
R Vehicles with AIR BODY CONT ROL:On ly
drive at raised vehicle le vel if snow chains
are fitted.
% You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(→ page 193).
% You can deactivate ESP ®
to pull away
( → page 184). This allo ws the wheels to
spin, achieving an increased driving forc e. Ty

s on tyre pressure &
WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase.
R The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes 402

The tyre pressure loss
warning sy stem does not
re place the need toregularly check the tyre
pressures.
Sy stem limitations
The tyre pressure loss warning sy stem does not
issue a warning:
R Ifth e tyre pressure is set incor rectl y.
R Ifth ere is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
ex ample, byafo re ign object penetrating the
tyre.
R Ifth e pressure loss in se veral tyres decrea‐
ses at the same rate.
The tyre pressure loss warning sy stem has a
limited or dela yed function:
R When thero ad sur face is poo r,e.g. snow or
gr ave l.
R When driving with snow chains.
R When driving in a very sporty driving style
with high cornering speeds or sudden accel‐
eration.
R When towing a very heavy or large trailer.
