If the Rectify tyre pressure
Rectify 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 droppe dsignificantly. 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 droppe dsud-
denly.T he tyres must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(Y page 150).
If the positio nofthe wheelsont he vehicle is
changed, the tyre pressures may be displayedin the wrong positions for ashort time. After afew
minutes of driving, this is rectified and the tyre
pressures are displayedint he correct positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
h
warning lamp goes out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the reference valuesf or monitoring. In most cases, the tyre
pressure monitor will automatically detect the
new reference 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 curren toperating
conditions.
Observe the notes on tyre pressure
(Y page 238).

You can fin dinformation on what to do in the
event of aflat tyr eunder "Breakdown assis-
tance" (Y page 224). Interchanging th
ewheels G
WARNING
Interchangin gthe front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tyres have different dimensions. The whee lbrakes or suspension components
may alsobed amaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions.
! On vehicles fitted with
atyre pressure mon-
itor, electronic components are located in the wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be appliedint he
area of the valve ,asthis coul ddamage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging front and rear wheels of differing
dimensions can render the genera loperating
permi tinvalid.
Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes under "Changing awheel"
(Y page2 43). The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
diffe
rdepending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Frontt yres typi-
cally wear more on the shoulders, while rear
tyres wear more in the centre.
On vehicles that have front and rear wheels of
the same size, you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 to 10,00 0kmd epending on the
degree of tyre wear. Ensure that the direction of
rotation is maintained.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is
interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and reac-
tivate the tyre pressure monitor if necessary
(Y page 241). Direction of rotation
Tyres with aspecifie ddirection of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is ariskofa qua-
planing. You will only gain these benefit sifthe
correc tdirection of rotation is observed.
An arrow on th esidewall of th etyrei nd icates its
correc tdirection of rotation.

WARNING
If you do not position the jack correctl yatthe
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack coul dtip over with the vehicl eraised.
There is arisk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically,d irectly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
! Only position the jack at the appropriate
jacking point of the vehicle. Otherwise, you
coul ddamage the vehicle.
Observe the following whenr aisingthe vehi-
cle:
R Use only the vehicle-specific jack that has
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz
to rais ethe vehicle. If the jack is used incor-
rectly, it coul dtip over while the vehicl eis

form maintenance work under the vehicle. R
Avoid changing the whee lonuphilland down-
hill slopes.
R Before raising the vehicle, secur eitagainst
rolling away by applying the parking brake and
positioning whee lchocks. Do not release the
parking brake whil ethe vehicl eisraised.
R The jack must be place donafirm, flatand
