WARNING
Operating the integrated information systems and communications equipment in the vehicle
while driving will distract you from traffic con-
ditions. You could then lose control of the
vehicle. There is arisk of an accident.
Only operate these devices if road traffic con-
ditions permit. If you are unsure about the
surrounding conditions, pullo ver toasafe
location and make entries only while the vehi-
cle is stationary.
You must observe the lega lrequirements for the
country in which you are driving when operating
the system.
The multimedi asystem calculates the route to
the destination without taking account of the
following, for example:
R traffic lights
R stop and give way signs
R parking or stopping restrictions
R road narrowing
R other road and traffic rule sand regulations
The multimedi asystem may provid eincorrect
driving recommendations if the surroundings do
not correspond to the data on the digital map
(for example, aroute may have been diverted or
the direction of aone-wa ystreet may have
changed).
For this reason, you must alwayso bserve road
and traffic rule sand regulations during your
journey .Roada nd traffic rule sand regulations
alwaysh ave priority over the system' sdriving
recommendations. GPS reception
Positio nfinding and route guidance take place
using GPS ( GlobalPositioning System). Correct
functioning of the navigation system depends,
amongst other things, on GPS reception. In cer-
tain situations, GPS reception may be impaired, there may be interference or there may be no
reception at all,e .g. in tunnels or multi-storey
car parks. Navigat

mal operation of the vehicle. Servic ework will
need to be performed more often if the vehicle is operated under arduous conditions or increased
loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous terrain
or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further information can be obtained at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Fuel/water separator

Check the tyres regularl yfor signs of damage
and replace any damaged tyres immediately. M+S tyres
G
WARNING
M+S tyres with atyre tread depth of less than
4mma re not suitable for use in winter as they
do not provid esufficient traction. There is a
risk of accident.
M+S tyres with atread depth of less than

can be severely impaired when you fit the
spar ewheel. There is arisk of an accident.
To prevent risks:
R adapt yourd riving style accordingly and
drive carefully
R never fit more than one spar ewhee lthat
differ sfrom the whee ltobechanged
R only use aspar ew hee lthat differ sfrom the
whee ltobec hanged for abriefp eriod
R do not switch ESP ®
off
R have aspar ew hee lofad ifferent size
replaced at the neares tqualified specialist
workshop. You must make sure that the wheel and tyre dimensions as wel
lasthe
tyr etype are correct.
Do not exceed amaximum speed of 80 km/h if
as pare wheel of adifferen tsizeisf itted.
At temperatures below +7 †, use winter tyres or all-season tyres. Bot htypes of tyr eare identified
by th eM+S marking.
Only winter tyres bearin gthe i snowflake
symbo linaddition to th eM+S marking provide
th eb est possible grip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tyres will allow driving safet ysys-
tem ssuch as AB Sand ESP ®
to function opti-
mally in winter. These tyres have been devel-
oped specifically for driving in snow.
Use M+S tyres of th esame mak eand tread on all
wheels to maintain safe handling characteris-
tics.
Always observe th emaximum permissible
speed specified for th eM+S tyres you have fit-
ted.
If you fit M+S tyres that have alower maximum
permissible speed than that of th evehicle, affix
an appropriat ewarning label in th edriver's field
of vision. This can be obtained at aqualified
specialist workshop.
When you have fitted th eM+S tyres:
X Chec kthe tyrep ressures (Y page 238).
X Restart th etyrep ressure monitor
(Y page 241). Snow chains
G
WARNING
If you drive too fas twith snow chains fitted,
they may snap. As aresult, you coul dinjure
others and damage the vehicle. There is arisk
of an accident.
Observe the maximu mpermissible spee dfor
operation with snow chains.
! Before fitting the snow chains, check them
for damage. Damaged or worn snow chains
may snap and damage the following compo-
nents:
R wheel
R whee lhousing
R whee lsuspension Winter operation
237Wheels and tyres Z

Therefore, only use snow chains that are in
perfect condition. Observe the manufactur-
er's installation instructions.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use only snow chains that have been approved for Mercedes-Benz or that are of
an equivalent standard of quality. For more
information, please contact aqualified special-
ist workshop.
If you wish to fit snow chains, please bear the
following points in mind:
R snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel/tyre
combinations. Observe the information
regarding permitted wheel/tyre combina-
tions (Y page 246)
R fit the snow chains on all four wheels for max-
imum tractive power and driving stability.
Snow chains must alway sbefitted in pairs; if
you only have two snow chains, fit these on
the rear wheels. The vehicle then remains
more stable under braking
R use snow chains only if the road surface is
completely snow-covered. Remove the snow
chains as soon as possible when you come to ar oad that is not snow-covered
R local regulations may restrict the use of snow
chains. Observe the appropriate regulations if you wish to fit snow chains
R do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 km/h
You may wish to deactivate ESP ®
when pulling
away with snow chains fitted (Y page 54). This
allows the wheels to spin in acontrolled manner,
achieving increased propulsive force (cut). Tyre pressure

WARNING
Underinf lated or overinflated tyres pose the
following risks:
R the tyres may burst, especially as the load
and vehicl espee dincrease.
R the tyres may weare xcessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tyre
traction.
R the driving characteristics, as wellass teer-
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is arisk of an accident.
Observe the recommende dtyre pressure and
check the tyre pressure of all the tyres includ-
ing the spar ewheel:
R at least every two weeks
R when the loadc hanges
R before embarking on alonger journey
R for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
road driving
If necessary, correct the tyre pressure. G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitabl eaccessories onto tyre
valves, the tyre valve smay be overloadeda nd
malfunction, which can caus etyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can alsor esult in tyre pressure loss. There is a
risk of accident.
Only screw standar dvalve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
yourv ehicleonto the tyre valve. G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly ,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in atyre
blow-out. There is arisk of accident. 238

If tyr esizes are not specified ,the tyrep ressures
stated on th etyrep ressure informatio nlabel
apply for all tyres approved for this vehicle. If one or mor
etyre sizes precedes atyre pres-
sure, the following tyre pressure information is
valido nly for that tyre size.
Use asuitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of atyre does
not give any reliable indicatio nofthe tyre pres-
sure.
You can also check the tyre pressure using the
on-board computer.
If possible, correct tyre pressures only when the
tyres are cold. The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicl ehas been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further than
1.6 km
Dependin gonthe outside temperature, the
vehicle speed and the load on the tyres, the tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure changes by approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/1.5 psi )per
10 †. Take this into account when checking the
pressure of warm tyres. Correct the tyre pres-
sure only if it is too low for the current operating
condition.
Drivin gwithatyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have anegative effect on handling character-
istics and thus driving safety (e.g. aquaplan-
ing)
The tyre pressure values given for low loads are minimum values that offer you good driving
comfor tcharacteristics.
However, you can also use the values given for
higher loads. These are permissible and will not
adversely affect the runnin gofthe vehicle. Tyre pressur
emonitor
General notes If
at yre pressure monitor is fitted, the vehicle's
wheelsh ave sensors fitted that monitor the tyre
pressures in all four tyres. The tyre pressure
monitor warns you if the pressure drops in one
or more of the tyres. The tyre pressure monitor
functions only if the corresponding sensors are
fitted to all wheels.
Information on tyre pressures is shown on the
multifunction display. After afew minutes of
driving, the current tyre pressure of each wheel
is shown in the Serv.
