GWARNING
If ESP
®is malfunctioning, ESP®is unable to
stabilize the vehicle. Additionally, further driv-
ing safety systems are deactivated. This
increases the risk of skidding and an accident.
Drive on carefully.H ave ESP
®checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Vehicles without 4MATIC: when towing your
vehiclew ith the front axle raised, it is important
that you observe the notes on ESP
®
(Ypage2 82).
If the å ESP®OFF warning lamp lights up
continuously,E SP®is deactivated.
If the ÷ ESP®warning lamp and the å
warning lamp are lit continuously,E SP®is not
available due to amalfunction.
Observe the information on warning lamps
(
Ypage2 21) and display messages which may
be shownint he instrument cluster
(
Ypage1 92).
Only use wheels with the recommendedt ire
sizes. Only then wil lESP
®function properly.
Characteristics of ESP®
General information
If the ÷ ESP®warning lamp goes out before
beginning the journey ,ESP®is automatically
active.
If ESP
®intervenes, the ÷ESP®warning lamp
flashes in the instrument cluster.
If ESP
®intervenes:
XDo not deactivate ESP®under any circum-
stances.
XOnly depress the accelerator pedalasf ar as
necessary when pulling away.
XAdapt you rdriving style to sui tthe prevailing
road and weather conditions.
ECOs tart/stop function
The ECO start/stop function switches the
engine off automatically when the vehicles tops
moving. The engine starts automatically when
the driverw ants to pullawa ya gain. ESP
®
remains in its previousl yselected status. Exam-
ple: if ESP®was deactivated before the engine
was switched off, ESP®remains deactivated
when the engine is switched on again.

GWARNING
If you deactivate ESP
®,E SP®no longer sta-
bilizes the vehicle. There is an increased risk
of skidding and an accident.
Only deactivate ESP
®in the situations descri-
bed in the following.
The spinning of the wheels results in acutting
action for better traction on looses urfaces.
It may be best to deactivate ESP
®in the follow-
ing situations:
Rwhen using snow chains
Rin deep snow
Ron sand or gravel
iActivate ESP®as soon as the situations
described above no longer apply.E SP®will
otherwise not be abl etostabilize the vehiclei f
the vehicles tarts to skid or awhee lstarts to

!Avoid spinning the drivenw heels for an
extended period with ESP®deactivated. You
coul dotherwise damage the drivetrain.
Deactivating/activating ESP®
You can deactivate or activate ESP®via the on-
board computer (Ypag e185).

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

system (Canadaonly) or tire pressure monitor
(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

Snow chains
GWARNING
If snow chains are mounted on the rear
wheels, the snow chains could cause abrasion
to the vehicle body or to chassis components.
This could cause damage to the vehicle or the
tires. There is arisk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
Rnever mount snow chains on the rear
wheels
Ronly mount snow chains in pairs on the
frontw heels.
!On some tire sizes there is not enough space
for snow chains. To avoid damage to the vehi-
cle or tires, observe the "Wheel and tire com-
binations" section under "Tires and wheels".
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that have
been specially approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz ,orare of acorresponding
standard of quality. For more information,
please contact aqualified specialist workshop.
If you inten dtomount snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:
RSno wchains may not be mounted on all
wheel/tire combinations. Permissible wheel-
tire combinations (
Ypage 312).
ROnly use snow chains when driving on roads
completely covered by snow. Remove the
snow chains as soon as possible when you
come to aroad that is not snow-covered.
RLocal regulations may restrict the use of snow
chains. Observe the appropriate regulations if
you wish to mount snow chains.
RDo not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
RNever use Parking Pilot when snow chains are
installed (Ypage 165). You may wish to deactivat
eESP
®when pulling
away with snow chains installed .You can
thereby allow the wheels to spin in acontrolled
manner, achieving an increased driving force
(cutting action).

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
Rthe tires may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
Rthe tires may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
Rthe driving characteristics, as well as steer-
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is arisk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing the spare wheel:
