Tires Display messages
Possible causes/consequences and P Solutions
Check Tire Pres‐
sure Soon The tire pressure loss warning system has detected a significant
loss in pressure.
A warning tone also sounds.
Possible causes: R
you have changed the positions of the wheels and tires or instal-
led new wheels and tires. R
the tire pressure in one or more tires is not correct.
G WARNING
Tire pressures that are too low pose the following hazards: R
they may burst, especially as the load and vehicle speed
increase. R
they may wear excessively and/or unevenly, which may greatly
impair tire traction. R
the driving characteristics, as well as steering and braking, may
be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident. X
Stop the vehicle without making any sudden steering or braking
maneuvers. Pay attention to the traffic conditions as you do so. X
Secure the vehicle against rolling away ( Y
page 189).X
Check the tires and, if necessary, follow the instructions for a
flat tire ( Y
page 387). X
Check the tire pressures and, if necessary, correct the tire pres-
sure. X
Restart the tire pressure loss warning system when the tire
pressure is correct ( Y
page 412).
Check Tire Pres‐
sure Then Restart
Run Flat Indicator The tire pressure loss warning system generated a display mes-
sage and has not been restarted since. X
Set the correct tire pressure in all four tires. X
Restart the tire pressure loss warning system ( Y
page 412).
Run Flat Indicator
Inoperative The tire pressure loss warning system is faulty. X
Visit a qualified specialist workshop.
Please Correct
Tire Pressure The tire pressure is too low in at least one of the tires, or the tire
pressure difference between the wheels is too great. X
Check the tire pressures at the next opportunity ( Y
page 412).X
If necessary, correct the tire pressure. X
Restart the tire pressure monitor ( Y
page 415).318

Useful information
i This Operator's Manual describes all
models and all standard and optional equip-
ment of your vehicle available at the time of
publication of the Operator's Manual.
Country-specific differences are possible.
Please note that your vehicle may not be
equipped with all features described. This
also applies to safety-related systems and
functions.

ist workshops ( Y

Loading guidelines
G WARNING
If objects, luggage or loads are not secured or
not secured sufficiently, they could slip, tip
over or be flung around and thereby hit vehicle
occupants. There is a risk of injury, particu-
larly in the event of sudden braking or a sud-
den change in direction.
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around. Secure objects, luggage or
loads against slipping or tipping before the
journey.
G WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. If the tailgate
is open when the engine is running, particu-
larly if the vehicle is moving, exhaust fumes
could enter the passenger compartment.
There is a risk of poisoning.
Turn off the engine before opening the tail-
gate. Never drive with the tailgate open.
G WARNING
The exhaust tail pipe and tail pipe trim can
become very hot. If you come into contact
with these parts of the vehicle, you could burn
yourself. There is a risk of injury. Always be particularly careful around the
exhaust tail pipe and the tail pipe trim. Allow
these components to cool down before touch-
ing them.
The gross vehicle weight (GVW) is the vehicle
weight including fuel, vehicle tool kit, spare
wheel, installed accessories, vehicle occu-
pants and luggage/cargo.
Do not exceed the load limit or permitted
gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) for your
vehicle. The gross load limit and the GVWR
are specified on the vehicle identification
plate on the B-pillar of the driver's door
( Y
page 416).
The load must also be distributed so that the
weight on each axle never exceeds the gross
axle weight rating (GAWR) for the front and
rear axles. The specifications for GVWR and
GAWR are on the vehicle identification plate
on the B-pillar of the driver's door
( Y
page 416).
Observe the notes on loading the vehicle
( Y
page 416).
The handling characteristics of a laden vehi-
cle are dependent on the distribution of the
load within the vehicle. For this reason, you
should observe the following notes when
transporting a load: R
Never exceed the maximum permissible
gross vehicle mass or the gross axle weight
rating for the vehicle (including occupants). R
The cargo compartment is the preferred
place to carry objects. R
Position heavy loads as far forwards as pos-
sible and as low down in the cargo com-
partment as possible. R
The load must not protrude above the
upper edge of the seat backrests. R
Always place the load against the rear or
front seat backrests. Make sure that the
seat backrests are securely locked into
place. R
Always place the load behind unoccupied
seats if possible.340
