Cleaning wiper blades
GWARNING
You could become trapped by the windshield wipers if they start moving while cleaning the
windshield or wiper blades. There is a risk of
injury.
Always switch off the windshield wipers and
the ignition before cleaning the windshield or
wiper blades.
!Do not pull the wiper blade. Otherwise, the
wiper blade could be damaged.
!Do not clean wiper blades too often and do
not rub them too hard. Otherwise, the graph-
ite coating could be damaged. This could
cause wiper noise.
!Hold the wiper arm securely when folding
back. The windshield could be damaged if the
wiper arm smacks against it suddenly.
XFold the windshield wiper arms away from the
windshield.
XCarefully clean the wiper blades with a damp
cloth.
XFold the windshield wiper arms back again
before switching on the ignition.
Cleaning the headlamps
XClean the headlamp lenses with a damp
sponge and a mild cleaning agent, e.g.
Mercedes-Benz car shampoo or cleaning
cloths.
Cleaning the sensors
!If you clean the sensors with a power
washer, make sure that you keep a distance
of at least 11.8 in (30 cm) between the vehicle
and the power washer nozzle. Information
about the correct distance is available from
the equipment manufacturer.
XClean sensors :of the driving systems with
water, car shampoo and a soft cloth.
Cleaning the rear view camera

around the rear view camera with a power
washer.
XUse clear water and a soft cloth to clean cam- era lens :.
Cleaning chrome parts
!Do not clean the exhaust pipe with acid-
based cleaning agents such as sanitary

Maintenance and care

Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate if the
system is not operating properly. The TPMS
malfunction indicator is combined with the
low tire pressure telltale. When the system
detects a malfunction, the warning lamp will
flash for approximately a minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will be repeated every time the vehi-
cle is started as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
the system may not be able to detect or signal
low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunc-
tions may occur for a variety of reasons,
including the mounting of incompatible
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on
the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from func-
tioning properly. Always check the TPMS mal-
function telltale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function prop-
erly.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure
suitable for the operating situation
(
Ypage 265). Note that the correct tire pressure
for the current operating situation must first be
taught-in to the tire pressure monitor. If there is
a substantial loss of pressure, the warning
threshold for the warning message is aligned to
the reference values taught-in. Restart the tire
pressure monitor after adjusting to the cold tire
pressure (
Ypage 270). The current pressures
are saved as new reference values. As a result, a
warning message will appear if the tire pressure
drops sign ificant
ly.
The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe the
notes on the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 265).
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warn you
of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tire is
penetrated by a foreign object. In the event of a
sudden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a
halt by braking carefully. Avoid sudden steering
movements.
In order to check the tire pressure, the vehicle's
wheels are installed with sensors that monitor the tire pressure in all four tires. The tire pres-
sure monitor warns you if the pressure drops in
one or more of the tires. The tire pressure mon-
itor only functions if the correct sensors are
installed on all wheels.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow warning
lamp in the instrument cluster for indicating
pressure loss/malfunctions (USA) or pressure
loss (Canada). Whether the warning lamp
flashes or lights up indicates whether a tire
pressure is too low or the tire pressure monitor is malfunctioning:
Rif the warning lamp is lit continuously, the tire
pressure on one or more tires is significantly
too low. The tire pressure monitor is not mal-
functioning.
RUSA only: if the warning lamp flashes for
around a minute and then remains lit con-
stantly, the tire pressure monitor is malfunc-
tioning.
Information on tire pressures is displayed in the
multifunction display. After a few minutes of
driving, the current tire pressure of each tire is
shown in the multifunction display.
USA only: the tire pressure warning lamp will
inform you of a malfunc
tion in the tire pressure
monitor by flashing for approximately one
minute and then remaining lit. It may take more
than ten minutes before the data menu is dis-
played. When the malfunction has been recti-
fied, the tire pressure warning lamp goes out
after a few minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge. The
tire pressures shown by the on-board computer
refer to those measured at sea level. At high
altitudes, the tire pressure values indicated by a
pressure gauge are higher than those shown by the on-board computer. In this case, do not
reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor can
be affected by interference from radio transmit-
ting equipment (e.g. radio headphones, two-way
radios) that may be being operated in or near the
vehicle.

Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally
XMake sure that the SmartKey is in position 2
in the ignition lock (Ypage 112).
XPress the =or; button on the steering
wheel to select the Serv.menu.
XPress the9or: button to select
Tire Pressure.
XPress the abutton.
The current tire pressure of each tire is shown
in the multifunction display.
If the vehicle has been parked for over
20 minutes, the Tire pressure will be
displayed after driving a few minutesmessage appears.
After a teach-in process, the tire pressure mon-
itor automatically detects new wheels or new
sensors. As long as a clear allocation of the tire
pressure value to the individual wheels is not
possible, theTire
PressureMonitorActivedisplay message is shown instead of the tire
pressure display. The tire pressures are already
being monitored.
iIf a spare wheel is mounted, the system may
continue to show the tire pressure of the
wheel that has been removed for a few
minutes. Observe that the displayed value is
not the same as the current tire pressure of
the emergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure monitor warning mes-
sages
If the tire pressure monitor detects a significant
pressure loss on one or more tires, a warning
message is shown in the multifunction display. A
warning tone also sounds and the tire pressure
warning lamp lights up in the instrument cluster.
Each tire that is affected by a significant loss of
pressure is highlighted in the pressure display.
XIf the Correct Tire Pressuremessage
appears in the multifunction display, check
the tire pressure on all four wheels and cor-
rect it if necessary.
XIf the Check Tiresmessage appears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in one
or more tires has dropped significantly and
the tires must be checked.
XIf the Tire Press. Warning CautionTire Malfunctionmessage appears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in one
or more tires has dropped suddenly and the
tires must be checked.
iIf the wheel positions on the vehicle are
rotated, the tire pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for a short time. This is
rectified after a few minutes of driving, and
the tire pressures are displayed for the cor-
rect positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamps go out. The monitor uses the cur-
rently set tire pressures as the reference values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire pressure
monitor will automatically detect the new refer-
ence values after you have changed the tire
pressure. However, you can also define refer-
ence values manually as described here.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recommen- ded for the corresponding driving situation on
the Tire and Loading Information placard on
the driver's side B-pillar (
Ypage 265).
Additional tire pressure values for different
loads can also be found on the tire pressure
table on the inside of the fuel filler flap
(
Ypage 265).
XMake sure that the tire pressure is correct on
all four wheels.
