R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
0009 When ESP ®
is deactivated, you are still assis‐
te dby ESP ®
when braking.
If th e00E5 ESP®
wa rning lamp flashes in the
instrument clus ter,one or se veralve hicle wheels
has reached its grip limit:
R Adapt your driving style to suit the cur rent
ro ad and weather conditions.
R Do not deactivate ESP ®
.
R Onlydepress the accelera tor pedal as far as
is necessar y. Deactivate ESP
®
in thefo llowing situations to
impr ove traction:
R When using snow chains.
R In deep sn ow.
R On sand or gr avel.
0009 Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action, which enhances traction.
If th e00E5 ESP®

ETS/4E TStraction control is pa rtof ESP ®
and
makes it possible topull away and accelerate on
a slippe rycar riag ew ay.
ETS/4ETS can impr ovetheve hicle's traction by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
R The drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
R More drive torque is transferred tothe wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive prog rams on ESP ®
The drive prog rams enable ESP ®

WARNING Risk of accident due to
objects located abo veor below the
de tection range of Active Parking Assist
If th ere are objects abo veor below the
de tection range, thefo llowing situations may
arise:
R Active Parking Assist may steer too ear ly.
R Vehicles with automatic transmis‐
sion: Thevehicle may not stop in front of
th ese objects.
This could cause a collision. 0007
Inthese situations, do not use Active
Pa rking Assist. Sn
owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccuratel y.Pa rking
spaces that are partial lyoccupied bytrailer
dr aw bars might not be identified as such or be
measured incor rectly. Only use Active Parking
Assist on le vel, high-grip ground. Do not
useActive Parking Assist in thefo llowing
situations:
R Inextreme weather conditions such as ice,
pac ked snow or in heavy rain.
R When transporting a load that pr otru des
be yond theve hicle.
R Ifth e parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
R When snow chains are fitted.
Ac tive Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, e.g.:
R Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
R Parking spaces on unsuitable sur faces.
Ac tive Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces at right angles tothe direction of
tr ave l in thefo llowing situations:
R If two parking spaces are located immedi‐
ately next toeach other.
R Ifth e parking space is immediately next to a
low obs tacle su chas a kerb. Ac
tive Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces parallel or at right angles tothe
direction of tr avel in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth e parking space is on a kerb.
R Ifth e parking space is bordered byan obs ta‐

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 000A
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. 0007
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 (0013 page 435).
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 000A
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. 0007
Neverfit snow chains on the front
wheels. 0007
Only fit snow chains on there ar wheels

s on tyre pressure 000A
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. 0007
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 0007
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessar y. Driving wi
thtyre pressu rethat is too high or too
low can:
R Sho rten the 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. 000A
WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. 0007
