Maintenance and care Z

Comp ly wit h safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when han dlin g batteries.
Risk of explosion.
Fire, open flames and smoking are
prohibited when handling the bat-
tery. Avoid creating sparks.
Battery acid is caustic. Avoid con-
tact wit h skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear suit able protective clothing,
especial ly gloves, apron and face-
guard.
Rins e any acid spills immediately
wit h clear water. Contact a physi-
cian if necessary.
Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.
Observe th is Operator's Manual.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
men ds that you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. These batteries pro vide
increased impact protection to prevent veh i-
cle occupants from suffering acid burns
should the battery be damaged in the event of
an acc iden t.
In order for the battery to achieve the max i-
mum poss ible service life, it must always be
suff icie nt ly charge d.
Like other batteries, the vehicle battery may
disc harge over time if you do not use the
veh icle . In th is case, have the battery discon-
nected at a qualif ied specialist workshop. You
can also charge the battery with a charger
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Contact a qualif ied spec ialist workshop for further infor-
mation.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently if you use the vehicle main ly
for short trips or if you leave it standing idle
for a lengthy per iod. Consult a qualif ied spe-
cialist workshop if you wish to leave your
vehicle parked for a long period of time.
On ly replace a battery with a battery that has
been recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Remo ve the Sm artKey if you park the vehicle
and do not require any electrical consumers.
The vehicle will then use very lit tle energy,
t hus conserving battery power.
If the power supply has been interrupted, e.g.
if you reconnect the battery, you will have to:R
set the clock via Aud io 20 or COMAND (see
separate operating instructions). R
reset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically, by folding the
mirrors out once ( Y
page 109).
Charging the battery
G WARNIN G
During charging and jump-starting , explosive
gase s can escape from th e battery. Ther e is a
ris k of an explosion .
Particularly avoi d fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficien t
ventilation while charging and jump-starting .
Do no t lean ove r a battery.
G WARNIN G
Battery acid is caustic . Ther e is a ris k of injury.
Avoid contact wit h skin, eyes or clothing . Do
no t inhale any battery gases. Do no t lean ove r
th e battery. Kee p children away from batter-
ies. Wash away battery acid immediately wit h
plenty of clean wate r and seek medical atten -
tion.

Transporting the vehicle
4MATIC vehicles/vehicles with auto-
matic transmission
! When the vehicle is loaded for transport,
the front and rear axles must be stationary
and on the same transportation vehicle.
Positioning over the connection point of the
transport vehicle is not permitted. The drive
train may otherwise be damaged.
All vehicles
! You may only secure the vehicle by the
wheels, not by parts of the vehicle such as axle or steering components. Otherwise,
the vehicle could be damaged. X
Turn the SmartKey to position 2 in the igni-
tion lock ( Y
page 149). X
Shift the transmission to position N .
As soon as the vehicle has been loaded: X
Prevent the vehicle from rolling away by
applying the electric parking brake. X
Shift the transmission to position P .X
Turn the SmartKey to position 0 in the igni-
tion lock and remove it. X
Secure the vehicle.
The towing eye can be used to pull the vehicle
onto a trailer or transporter for transporting
purposes.
Notes on 4MATIC vehicles
! Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with either the front or the rear axle raised,
as doing so will damage the transmission.
Vehicles with 4MATIC may only either be
towed away with both axles on the ground or
be loaded up and transported.
If the vehicle's transmission, front, or rear
axle is damaged, have the vehicle transported
on a truck or trailer.
In the event of damage to the electrical
system:
If the battery is defective, the automatic
transmission will be locked in position P . To
shift the automatic transmission to position
N , you must provide power to the vehicle's
electrical system in the same way as when
jump-starting ( Y
page 331).
Have the vehicle transported on a transporter
or trailer.336
Towing and tow-starting
Breakdown assistance

Some tire pressure tables show only the rim
diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.
R18 . Rim diameter is part of the tire size and
can be found on the tire sidewall
( Y
page 357).
If the tire pressures have been set to the
lower values for lighter loads and/or lower
road speeds, the pressures should be reset to
the higher values: R
if you want to drive with an increased load
and/or R
if you want to drive at higher road speeds
i The tire pressures for increased loads
and/or higher road speeds, shown in the
tire pressure table, may have a negative
effect on driving comfort.
If the tire pressure is not set correctly, this
can lead to an excessive build-up of heat and
a sudden loss of pressure.
For more information, contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Important notes on tire pressure
G WARNING
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tire
pressure that is too low may result in a tire
blow-out. There is a risk of an accident. R
Check the tire for foreign objects. R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking. If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
G WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tire pres-
sure monitors keep the tire valve open. This
can also result in tire pressure loss. There is a
risk of an accident.
Only screw the standard valve cap or other
valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tire valve.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the
tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
the tire pressure. On vehicles equipped with
the electronic tire pressure monitor, the tire
pressure can be checked in the on-board
computer.
The tire temperature and pressure increase
when the vehicle is in motion. This is depend-
ent on the driving speed and the load.
Therefore, you should only correct tire pres-
sures when the tires are cold.
The tires are cold: R
if the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and R
if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1 mile (1.6 km)
The tire temperature changes depending on
the outside temperature, the vehicle speed
and the tire load. If the tire temperature
changes by 18 ‡ (10 †), the tire pressure
changes by approxi mately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi). Take this into account when check-
ing the pressure of warm tires. Only correct
the tire pressure if it is too low for the current
operating conditions. If you check the tire
pressure when the tires are warm, the result-
ing value will be higher than if the tires were
cold. This is normal. Do not reduce the tire Tire pressure 345
