When you activate SPORT handling mode,
th ere is an increased risk of skidding and
having an accident. #
Only activate SPORT handling mode in
the circums tances described as follo ws. Select SPORT handling mode when
theve hicle's
ow nov ersteering and under steering characteris‐ tics are desired,
forex ample when driving on
specially designated roads.
On lya high ly qualified and experienced driver
should drive in SPORT handling mode or with
ESP ®
deactivated.
If SPORT handling mode is activated and one or
more wheels start tospin, the÷ ESP®

te d deg ree.
R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
R The engine's torque is on lyrestricted to a
limited degree and the drive wheels can spin.
The spinning of the wheels results in a cut‐

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 286).
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
wheels. #
Only fit snow chains on there ar wheels
in pairs. *

ch ains:
R Snow ch ains are on ly permissible for cer tain
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Cent re.

R If sn ow ch ains are fitted, the maximum per‐
missible speed is 50 km/h.
R Vehicles with le vel control: if snowchains
are fitted, only drive at raised vehicle le vel.
% You can permanently limit the maximum

re pressure Note
s on tyre pressure &
WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase.
R The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes R
before embarking on a lon ger journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessar y. Ty
re pressure which is too high or too low can:
R Shor tenth e service life of the tyres.
R Cause increased tyre damage.
R Adversely af fect driving characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning. &
WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. #
Inspect the tyre for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. 286

Collapsible spa
rewheel Note
s onthe collapsible spa rewheel &
WARNING Risk of accident caused by
incor rect wheel and tyre dimensions
The wheel or tyre size and the tyre type of
th e emer gency spa rewheel or spare wheel
and the wheel tobe replaced may dif fer.
Mounting an emer gency spa rewheel/spare
wheel may se verely impair the driving char‐
acteristics.
To preve nt hazardous situations: #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Neverfit more than one emer gency
spa rewheel or spare wheel that dif fers
in size. #
Only use an emer gency spa rewheel or
spare wheel of a dif fere nt size brie fly. #
Do not switch off ESP ®
. #
Have the emer gency spa rewheel or
spare wheel of a dif fere nt size replaced
at the nearest qualified specialist work‐ shop. The new wheel must ha
vethe
cor rect dimensions. The collapsible spa
rewheel is only available in
cer tain countries.
The collapsible spare wheel is an emer gency
wheel which is only suitable for use for a limi ted
period of time and in a restricted manner in the
eve nt of a flat tyre (e.g. until the nearest work‐
shop).
The tyre side walls are folded when in transpo rt
mode. Before use, the collapsible spare wheel
has tobe inflated with the accompanying com‐
pressor.
Check the tyre pressure of the collapsible spare
wheel once fitted. Co rrect the pressure as nec‐
essar y.
The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi‐
ble spare wheel fitted is 80 km/h.
Do not fit snow chains with the collapsible spare
wheel.
Re place the collapsible spare wheel af ter six
ye ars at the latest, rega rdless of wear. %
Ve
hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: if a collapsible spare wheel is fitted
th e tyre pressure monitoring sy stem cann ot
function reliably. Only restart the sy stem
again when the collapsible spare wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.
Ve hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: for a few minutes af ter a collapsible
spare wheel is fitted, the sy stem may still
display the tyre pressure of there mo ved
wheel.
