You must make sure that fuel does not comeint oc ontac twith your skin ,eyes or clothing
and that it is not swallowed. Do not inhale fuel
vapors.K eep fuel away from children.
If you or others com eintoc ontac twith fuel,
observet he following:
RWash away fuel from skin immediately
using soap and water.
RIf fuel comes int ocontac twith your eyes,
immediately rinse the mthoroughly with
clean water. Seek medical assistanc ewith-
out delay.
RIf fuel is swallowed, seek medical assis-
tance without delay. Do not induc evomit-

RImmediately change out of clothing which

GWARNING
Electrostatic buildup can create sparksa nd
ignit efuel vapors.T here isarisk of fire and
explosion.
Always touc hthe vehicle body beforeo pening
the fuel filler flap or touching the fuel pump
nozzle. An yexisting electrostatic buildup is
thereby discharged.
!Do not use diesel to refuel vehicles with a
gasolinee ngine. Do not switc honthe ignition
if you accidentally refuel with the wrongf uel.
Otherwise, the fuel will enter the fuel system. Even small amount softhe wrongf uel could
result in damage to the fuel syste mand the
engine. Notify aqualified specialis tworkshop
and have the fuel tan kand fuel lines drained
completely.
!Overfilling the fuel tan kcould damage the
fuel system.
!Take care not to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces. You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
!Use afilter when adding fuel from afuel can.
The fuel lines and/or the fuel injection system
could otherwise be blocked by particles from
the fuel can. Do not get int
othe vehicle again during the refu-
eling process. Otherwise, electrostatic charge
could build up again.
If you overfill the fuel tank, fuel could spray out
when the fuel pump nozzle is removed.

In addition to driving style, the actual consump-
tion is affected by other factors, such as:
RLoad
RTire pressure
RCold start
RChoice of route
RActive electrical consumers
These factors are not includedint he ECO dis-
play.
An economical driving style specially requires
driving at moderate engine speeds.
Achieving ahigher valu einthe categories
"Acceleration" and "Constant":
Robserve the gearshift recommendations.
Rdrive the vehicle in drive program Cor E
(vehicles with aDYNAMIC SELECT button).
On long journeys at aconstant speed,e .g. on the
highway, only the outer area for "constant" will
change.
The ECO display summarizes the driving style
from the start of the journey to its completion.
Therefore, there are more marked changes in
the outer areasatt he start ofajourney. On lon-
ger journeys, there are fewer changes. For more
marked changes, perform amanua lrest
(
Ypage 181).
For more information on the ECO display, see
(
Ypage 180).
Braking
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you shift down on aslippery road surface in
an attempt to increase the engine's braking
effect, the drive wheelsc ould lose their grip.
There is an increased danger of skidding and
accidents.
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on aslippery road surface.
Downhill gradients
!On long and steep gradients, you must
reduce the load on the brakes by shifting to a
lowerg ear in good time. This allows you to
take advantage of engine braking. For this you
must first activate manua lgearshifting. This helps you to avoid overheating the brakes and
wearing them out excessively.
When you take advantage of engine braking, it
is possible that
adrive wheel willn ot rotate for
some time, e.g. on aslippery road surface.
This could cause damage to the drive train.
This type of damage is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz warranty.
Briefly depressing the accelerator pedalo n
downhill gradients whilet he manualdrive pro-
gram Mis temporarilya ctivated: the automatic
transmission may switch to the last active auto-
matic drive program Eor S.T he automatic trans-
missionm ay shift to ahigherg ear. This can
reduce the engine's braking effect.
Heavy and light loads
GWARNING
If you rest you rfoot on the brake pedalw hile
driving, the braking system can overheat. This increases the stopping distance and can even
cause the braking system to fail.T here is a
risk of an accident.
Never use the brake pedalasaf ootrest. Never
depresst he brake pedala nd the accelerator
pedalatt he same time.
!Depressing the brake pedalc onstantly
results in excessive and premature weart o
the brake pads.
If the brakes have been subjected to aheavy
load,don ot stop the vehicle immediately.D rive
on for ashort while. This allows the airflow to
cool the brakes more quickly.
Wet roads
If you have driven for along time in heavy rain
withoutb raking, there may be adelayed reac-
tion from the brakes when braking for the first
time. This may also occur after the vehicle has
been washed or driven through deep water.
You have to depresst he brake pedalmore
firmly.M aintainagreater distance from the
vehicle in front.
After driving on awet road or having the vehicle
washed, brake firmly whilep aying attention to
the traffic conditions. This willw arm up the
brake discs, thereby drying them more quickly
and protecting them against corrosion.

(USA only).
If ap ressure loss warning message appears
in the multifunction display:
Robserve the instructions in the displaym es-
sages (Ypage 211).
Rcheck the tire for damage
Rif driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the vehi-
cle is partiallyl aden. When the vehicle is fully
laden it is approximately 19 miles (30 km).
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
Rvehicle speed
Rroad condition
Routside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving conditions
or maneuvers, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
counted from the moment the tire pressure loss
warning appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed amaximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
When replacing one or all tires, please observe
the following specifications for your vehicle's
tires:
Rsize
Rtype and
Rthe "MOExtended" marking
If at ire has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with aMOExtended tire, astandard tire may be
used as atemporary measure. Make sure that
you use the proper size and type (summer or
winter tire).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are
not equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefore recommended that you additionally
equip your vehicle with aTIREFIT kit if you mount
tires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.
winter tires. ATIREFIT kit may be obtained from
aq ualified specialist workshop.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving
characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner-
ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is arisk of an accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers, and driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes,
off-road). This applies in particular to aladen
vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
Ryou hear banging noises.
Rthe vehicle starts to shake.
Ryou see smoke and smell rubber.
RESP®is intervenin gconstantly.
Rthere are tears in the sidewalls of the tire.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked at aqualified specialist
workshop with regard to their further use. The
defective tire must be replaced in every case.
TIREFIT kit
Important safety notes
TIREFIT is atire sealant.
Only valid for USA: You can use TIREFIT to seal
punctures of up to 0.16 in (4 mm), particularly
those in the tire tread. You can use TIREFIT at
outside temperatures down to Ò4‡(Ò20 †).
GWARNING
In the following situations, the tire sealant is
unable to provide sufficient breakdown assis-
tance, as it is unable to seal the tire properly:
Rthere are cuts or punctures in the tire larger
than those mentioned above.
Rthe wheel rim is damaged.
Ryou have driven at very low tire pressures or on aflat tire.
There is arisk of an accident.
Do not drive the vehicle. Contact aqualified
specialist workshop.
GWARNING
The tire sealant is harmful and causes irrita-
tion. It must not come into contact with your
skin, eyes or clothing or be swallowed. Do not
