Maintenance and care

Damaged tires and a tire pressurethat is too
low can significantly impair braking and han‐
dling characteristics.
#Do not continue driving.
#Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
If, af terte n minutes, a tire pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been reached:
&
WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tires
A tire temp orarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds.
#Ad apt your dr ivingst yle according lyand
drive carefull y.
#Do notexceed the specified maximum
speed with a tire that has been repaired
using tire sealant.
#Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
a tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph
(80 km/h).
#Af fix th e upper section of the TIREFIT sticke r

Af ter use, excess tire sealant may leak out
from thefilling hose.
#Therefore, place thefilling hose in the

service center.
#Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#Un scr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tire.
#St ow th e tire sealant bottle, the tire inflation
compressor and thewa rning triangle.
#Pull away immediatel y.
#Stop af ter driving for app roxima tely ten

The tire pressure must now be at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).

WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tire pressure not being reached
If th e specified tire pressure is not reached
af te r a brief drive, the tire is too badly dam‐
aged. The tire sealant cannot repair the tire
in this ins tance.
Dama ged tires and tire pressure that is too
low can significantly impair the braking prop‐
erties and the handling characteristics.
#Do not continue driving.
#Consult a qualified specialist workshop.

&WARNING Risk of accident caused by
re peated drop in tire pressure
If th e tire pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tire pressure can cause the tires
to bur st.
#Inspect the tire for signs of fore ign
objects.
#Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak.
#If yo u are unab leto rectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop.
Yo u can find information on tire pressure forth e
ve hicle's factor y-ins talled tires on thefo llowing
labels:
RTi re and Loading Info rmation placard on the
B‑pillar of your vehicle (→page 345).
RTire pressure table on the inside of the fuel
fi ller flap (→page 341).
Observ eth e maximum tire pressure
(
→page 352). Use a suitable pressure
gauge tocheck the tire
pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire
pressure.
Ve hicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: You can also check the tire pressure using
th e on-board computer.
Only cor rect tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Conditions for cold tires:
RThe vehicle has been par ked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least th ree hours.
RThe vehicle has tr aveled less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
A rise in the tire temp erature of 18°F (10 °C)
increases the tire pressure byappr ox.10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi). Take this into account when
ch ecking the tire pressure of warm tires.
The tire pressure re commendedfor increased
load/speed in the tire pressure table can af fect
th eride comfort.
&
WARNING Risk of accident from unsuita‐
ble accessori es onthe tire valves
If yo u mount unsuitable accessories onto tire
va lves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Tire pressure monitoring sy stems for
re trofitting will cause the tire valve toremain
open. This can also result in tire pressure
loss.
#Only scr ewstandard valve caps or valve
caps specifically appr ovedby
Mercedes-Benz foryo ur vehicle onto
th e tire valve.

The system checks the tire pressure of the tires
ins talled on theve hicle bymeans of a tire pres‐
sure sensor.
New tire pressure sensor, e.g. in winter tires, are
automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure appears in the multifunction
display (

If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:

RViath eh warning lamp in the instrument
clus ter (→page 440).
It is the driver's responsibility toset the tire
pressure tothere commended cold tire pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressure
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forth e
cur rent operating situation must firs t be taught-
in to the tire pressure monitor.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce va

Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐
ues byrestarting the tire pressure monitoring
sy stem manually (
