240Stowage areas
Stowage and features

!Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use roof carriers that have been tested and
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. This
helps to prevent damage to the vehicle.
Position the load on the roof rack in such a
way that the vehicle will not sustain damage
even when it is in motion.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, ensure
that when the roof carrier is installed you can:
Ropen the panorama roof with power tilt/
sliding panel fully
Ropen the trunk lid fully
You will find information on the maximum roof
load in the "Technical data" section
(
Ypage 320).
An incorrectly secured roof carrier or roof load
may become detached from the vehicle. You
must therefore ensure that you observe the roof
carrier manufacturer's installation instructions.
Attaching the roof carrier
XOpen and fold the covers :upwards care-
fully in the direction of the arrow.
XOnly secure the roof carrier to the anchorage
points under covers :.
XObserve the manufacturer's installation
instructions.
Features
Cup holder
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The cup holder cannot hold acontainer secure
whilst traveling. If you use acup holder whilst
traveling, the container may be flung around
and liquid may be spilled. The vehicle occu-
pants may come into contact with the liquid
and if it is hot, they may be scalded. You may
be distracted from the traffic conditions and
you could lose control of the vehicle. There is
ar isk of an accident and injury.
Only use the cup holder when the vehicle is
stationary. Only use the cup holder for con-
tainers of the right size. Alwaysc lose the con-
tainer, particularlyift he liquid is hot.
GWARNING
If objects in the passenger compartment are
stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be
thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In
addition, cupholders, open stowage spaces
and mobile phone brackets cannot always
retain all objects they contain. There is arisk
of injury, particularlyint he event of sudden
braking or asudden change in direction.
RAlwayss tow objects so that they cannot be
thrown around in such situations.
RAlwaysm ake sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or
stowage nets.
RClose the lockable stowage spaces before
starting ajourney.
RAlwayss tow and secure heavy, hard, poin-
ted, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objects in
the trunk.
!Only use the cup holders for containers of
the right size and which have lids. The drinks
could otherwise spill.
Observe the loading guidelines (
Ypage 237).
The stowage compartmentsint he doors provide
space for bottles:

MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
properties)
General notes
With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat char-
acteristics) ,you can continue to drive you rvehi-
cle even if there is atotal loss of pressure in one
or more tires. The affected tire must not show
any clearly visible damage.
You can recognize aMOExtended tire by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the
sidewal lofthe tire. You wil lfind this marking
next to the tire size designation, the load-bear-
ing capacity and the speedi ndex (
Ypage302).
MOExtended tires may be used only in conjunc-
tion with an activated tire pressure loss warning
Flat tire271
Breakdown assistance

Observe the legally required minimum tire tread
depth (Ypage 288). Winter tires can reduce the
braking distance on snow-covered surfaces in
comparison with summer tires. The braking dis-
tance is still much further than on surfaces that
are not icy or covered with snow. Take appro-
priate care when driving.
Further information on winter tires (M+S tires)
(
Ypage 289).
Temperature
GWARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-
lished for atire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded.E xcessive speed, underinfla-
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause excessive heat
build-up and possible tire failure.
The temperature grades are A(the highest), B,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions
on aspecified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus-
tained high temperature can cause the material
of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and
excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade Ccorresponds to alevel of
performance which all passenger car tires must
meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 109. Grades BandArepresent
higher levels of performance on the laboratory
test wheel than the minimum required by law.

Securing the vehicle to prevent it from
rolling away
If your vehicle is equippedwithaw heel chock,i t
can be found in the tire-change tool kit
(
Ypage 270).
The folding wheel chock is an additional safety
measure to prevent the vehicle from rolling
away,f or example when changing awheel.
XFold both plates up :.
XFold out lower plate ;.
XGuide the lugs on the lower plate fully into the
openings in base plate =.
XPlace chocksorother suitable items under
the front and rear of the wheel that is diago-
nally opposite the wheel you wish to change.
Raising the vehicle
GWARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jackingp oint of the vehicle, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is arisk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jackingp oint of the vehicle.
!Only position the jack at the appropriate
jackingp oint of the vehicle. Otherwise, you
could damage the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehi-
cle:
RTo raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-
cific jack that has been tested and approved
by Mercedes-Benz. If used incorrectly, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
RThe jack is designed only to raise and hold the
vehicle for ashort time while awheel is being
changed. It must not be used for performing
maintenance work under the vehicle.
RAvoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-
hill slopes.
RBefore raising the vehicle, secure it from roll-
ing away by applying the parking brake and
insertingw heel chocks. Do not disengage the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
RThe jack must be placed on afirm, flat and
non-slip surface. On aloose surface, alarge,
flat, load-bearing underlay must be used. On a
slippery surface, anon-slip underlay must be
used, e.g. rubber mats.
RDo not use wooden blocks or similar objects
as ajack underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not
be able to achieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
RMake sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does not
exceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
RNever place your hands and feet under the
raised vehicle.
RDo not lie under the vehicle.
RDo not start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
RDo not open or close adoor or the trunk lid
