General notes Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: the TIREFIT kit is
located in the stowage well under the luggage
compartment floor.
Vehicles with a tyre-change tool kit: the tyre-
change tool kit is in the stowage well under the
luggage compartment floor.
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel, see
"Removing the emergency spare wheel"
(Y page 348).
Apart from some country-specific variants, vehi- cles are not equipped with a tyre-change tool kit.Some tools for changing a tyre are specific to
the vehicle. For more information on which tyre-
changing tools are required and approved for
performing a tyre change on your vehicle, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
Necessary tyre-changing tools may include, for
example:
R jack
R wheel chock
R Wheel wrench
R Centring pin
i The jack weighs approximately 3.4 kg.
The maximum load-bearing capacity of the
jack can be found on the adhesive label on the jack.
The jack is maintenance-free. If there is a
malfunction, please contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit :
Tyre inflation compressor
; Towing eye
= Tyre sealant bottle
X Open the tailgate.
X Lift the luggage compartment floor upwards

compressor :.
i The tyre inflation compressor weighs
approximately 1.2 kg.
The tyre inflation compressor is maintenance-
free. If there is a malfunction, please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
Vehicles with a tyre-change tool kit X

Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with: R MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) (Y page 318) Flat tyre
317Breakdown assistance

Vehicle preparation is not necessary on vehi-
cles with MOExtended tyres.
R a TIREFIT kit (Y page 317)
R an emergency spare wheel (certain countries
only) (Y page 348)
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop.
Information on changing and fitting a wheel
(Y page 342).
X Stop the vehicle as far away as possible from
traffic on solid, non-slippery and level ground.
X Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
X Secure the vehicle against rolling away
(Y page 166).
X If possible, bring the front wheels into the
straight-ahead position.
X Switch off the engine.
X Vehicles without KEYLESS-GO: remove the
key from the ignition lock.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start-function
or KEYLESS-GO: open the driver's door.
The vehicle electronics are now in position
g. This is the same as “key removed”.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO start function
or KEYLESS-GO: remove the Start/Stop but-
ton from the ignition lock (Y page 144).
X Make sure that the passengers are not endan-
gered as they get out of the vehicle. Make
sure that no one is near the danger area while
a wheel is being changed. Anyone who is not directly assisting in the wheel change should, for example, stand behind the barrier.
X Get out of the vehicle. Pay attention to traffic
conditions when doing so.
X Close the driver's door.
X Place the warning triangle a suitable distance
away (Y page 316). Observe legal require-
ments. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
General notes With MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics), you can continue to drive your vehi- cle even if there is a total loss of pressure in one
or more tyres. The affected tyre must not show
any clearly visible damage.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
"MOExtended" mark that appears on the tyre
sidewall. You will find this mark next to the tyre
size designation, the load-bearing capacity and
the speed index.
MOExtended tyres may be used only in conjunc- tion with an activated tyre pressure loss warning
system or tyre pressure monitor.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages (Y page 256)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is approximately 80 km when the vehicle is parti-
ally laden and approximately 30 km when the
vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible in run-flat mode depends on the:
R vehicle speed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving conditions/ manoeuvres, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode iscounted from the moment the tyre pressure loss
warning appears on the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h.
When replacing one or all tyres, observe the fol-
lowing specifications for your vehicle's tyres:
R size
R type and
R the "MOExtended" marking
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOExtended tyre, a standard tyre may
be used as a temporary measure. Make sure 318

Important safety notes

WARNING
If wheels and tyres of the wrong size are used, the wheel brakes or suspension components
may be damaged. There is a risk of an acci-
dent.
Always replace wheels and tyres with those
that fulfil the specifications of the original
part.
When replacing wheels, make sure to fit the
correct:
R designation
R type
When replacing tyres, make sure to fit the
correct:
R designation
R manufacturer
R type G
WARNING
A flat tyre severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.
There is a risk of accident.
Tyres without run-flat characteristics:
R do not drive with a flat tyre.
R immediately replace the flat tyre with your
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel, or
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Tyres with run-flat characteristics:
R pay attention to the information and warn-
ing notices on MOExtended tyres (tyres
with run-flat characteristics).
Accessories that are not approved for your vehi-
cle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being used cor- rectly can impair operating safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approved
accessories, visit a qualified specialist work-
shop and enquire about:
R suitability
R legal stipulations
R factory recommendations Further information regarding wheels and tyres
can be found under "Wheel/tyre combinations"
(Y page 347).
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel/tyre combinations at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
Information on tyre pressures can be found:
R on the tyre pressure table in the fuel filler flap
(Y page 164)
R under "Tyre pressure" (Y page 337)
Modification work on the brake system and
wheels is not permitted. The use of spacers or
brake dust shields is not permitted. This inva-
lidates the general operating permit for the vehi-
cle.
i Further information on wheels and tyres can
be obtained at any qualified specialist work-
shop. Operation
Information on driving
Check the tyre pressure when the vehicle is
heavily laden and adjust prior to a trip.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-
ing to one side. This may indicate that the
wheels or tyres are damaged. If you suspect that
a tyre is defective, reduce your speed immedi-
ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible to
check the wheels and tyres for damage. Hidden tyre damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no signs of
damage, have the tyres and wheels checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
When parking your vehicle, make sure not to
squash the tyre. If you cannot avoid driving over
obstacles, e.g. kerbs, do so slowly and at an
obtuse angle only. You could otherwise damage
the wheel rims and tyres. Regular checking of wheels and tyres
G
WARNING
Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflation pres-
sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident. 334
