Do not drive on with a flat tyre. #
Chan getheflat tyre immediately with
an emer gency spa rewheel or spare

specialist workshop.
Ty res with run-flat characteristics: #
Obse rveth e information and warning
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat
tyres). In
theeve nt of a flat tyre, thefo llowing options
are available depending on your vehicle's equip‐
ment:
R Vehicles with MOExtended tyres: it is pos‐
sible tocontinue the journey for a short
period of time. Make sure you obse rvethe
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres)
(/ page 320).
R Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: you can repair
th e tyre so that it is possible tocontinue the
jou rney for a short period of time. Todo this,
use the TIREFIT kit (/ page 321). R
Vehicles with Mercedes me connect: you
can make a call for breakdown assi stance via
th eove rhead control panel in the case of a
breakdown (/ page 259).
R Allvehicles: change the wheel
(/ page 350). Note

WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in emergency mode
When driving in emergency mode, the han‐
dling characteristics are impaired. e.g. when
cornering, when accelerating stronglyand
when braking. #
Do not exceed the permissible maxi‐
mum speed. #
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
maneuvers as well as driving over
obs tacles (curbs, pot holes, off-road).
This applies, in pa rticular, toa loaded
ve hicle. #
Stop driving in the emer gency mode if
yo u notice:
R banging noise
R vehicle vibration
R smoke which smells like rubber
R continuous ESP ®
inter vention
R crac ksin tire side walls #
After driving in emergency mode ha ve
th erims checkedby aqu alified special‐
ist workshop with rega rd totheir fur ther
use. #
The defective tire must be replaced in
eve rycase. Wi
th MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres), you can
continue todrive your vehicle even if there is a
tot al loss of pressure in one or more tyres. How‐
eve r,th e tyre af fected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
Yo u can recognise MOExtended tyres bythe
MOExtended marking which appears onthe side
wa ll of the tyre. 320

Ve
hicles with tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in
conjunction wi than activated tyre pressure mon‐
itoring sy stem.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in
th e multifunction displa y,proceed as follo ws:
R Check the tyre for dama ge.
R If driving on, obser vethefo llowing no tes.
Driving distance possible in emer gency
mode af ter the pressure loss warning: Load condition Driving distance pos‐
sible in emergency
mode
Pa rtially laden 80 km
Fu lly laden 30 kmThe driving dis
tance possible in emergency
mode may vary depending on the driving style.
Obser vethe maximum permissible speed of
80 km/h. If a tyre has gone
flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOEx tended tyre, you can use a stand‐
ard tyre as a temp orary measure. TIREFIT kit
storage location The TIREFIT kit is located on
the left side of the
load compartment in thestow age compartment
behind service flap 1.

Place tyre sealant bottle 1head down wards
into recess 2ofthe tyre inflation compres‐
sor. #
Remo vetheva lve cap from valve 7 onthe

Screw filling hose 8onto valve 7. #
Insert plug 4into a 12V soc ket in your
ve hicle. #
Switch on the ignition. #
Press on and off switch 3onthe tyre infla‐
tion compressor.
The tyre inflation compressor is switched on.
The tyre is inflated. Fir st, tyre sealant is pum‐
ped into the tyre. The pressure may brief ly
ri se toappr oximately 500 kPa (5 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch off the ty reinflation compres‐
sor during this phase! #
Let the tyre inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of ten minu tes.
The tyre should then ha veattained a tyre
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).
If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clear water.
If yo uge t tyre sealant on your clo thing, ha veit
cleaned as soon as possible with per chloroe thy‐
lene. Breakdown assi

If, af
terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been ach‐
ie ve d: #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tyre.
Please no tethat tyre sealant may leak out when
unscr ewing thefilling hose. #
Drive forw ards or reve rseve ry slowly for
appr oximately 10m. #
Pump up the tyre again.
Af ter a maximum of ten minu testh e tyre
pressure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi). &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being ach‐
ie ved
If th e specified tyre pressure is not achie ved
af te rth e specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this ins tance. Dama
ged tyres and a tyre pressure that is
to o low can significantly impair braking and
handling characteristics. #
Do not drive on. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. If, af
terte n minutes, a tyre pressure of
200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) has been achie ved: #
Switch off the tyre inflation compressor. #
Unscr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tyre. &
WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the maximum speed
limit with a tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant. #
Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h. #
Affix th e upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
to the instrument clus ter in a location where
it will be easi lyseen bythe driver.
* NO
TEStaining from leaking tyre sealant Af
ter use, excess tyre sealant may leak out

Note
s on noise or unusual handling charac‐
te rist ics
While driving, pay attention tovibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling
to one side. This may indicate that the wheels or
tyres are damaged. If you suspect that a tyre is
defective, reduce your speed immediatel y.Stop
th eve hicle as soon as possible tocheck the
wheels and tyres for dama ge. Hidden tyre dam‐
age could also be causing the unusual handling
ch aracteristics. If youfind no signs of damage,
ha ve the tyres and wheels checked at a qualified
specialist workshop. Note
s onregular lyinspecting wheels and
tyres &
WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged tyres
Dama ged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose cont rol of your
ve hicle. #
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. Car
ryout thefo llowing checks on all wheels reg‐
ularly, at least once a month or as requ ired, e.g.
prior toa long journey or driving off- road:
R Check the tyre pressure (/ page 339).
R Visually inspect tyres and wheels for dam‐
age.
R Check theva lve caps.
The valves must be pr otected against mois‐
ture and dirt bytheva lve caps appr oved
especially foryo ur vehicle byMercedes-Benz.
R Visual check of the tyre tread dep thand the
tyre contact su rface across the entire width.
The minimum tread dep thfor summer tyres
is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm. Note
s on snow chains &
WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct snow chain fitting
If yo u ha vefitted snow chains tothe front
wheels, the snow chains may drag against
th eve hicle body or chassis components.
This could cause damage totheve hicle or
th e tyres. #
Neverfit snow chains on the front

R Replace the tyres af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear. R
When replacing with tyres that do not
fe ature run-flat characteristics: vehicles
with MOExtended tyres are not equipped
with a TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip the
ve hicle with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with
tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris‐
tics, e.g. winter tyres.
% You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(/ page 141).
