WARNING Risk of burn s causedbythe
heating output from AIRSCARF being too
high
When AIRSCARF is switched on, very hot air
can flow from the outlet opening in the head
re stra ints.
This could result in burns in the immediate
vicinity of the outlet opening.
00BBTu rn the heating output down in good
time.
0075 NO
TEDama gecaused toAIRSCARF by
th e use of pr otective co vers
If a pr otective co ver is placed overth e front
seat head restra ints, theflow of air from the
AIRSCARF vent is hinde red.
This can cause AIRS CARF toove rheat and be
damaged.
00BBDo not use pr otective co vers on head
re stra ints with AIRSCARF.
Make sure that there are no objects co vering the
intake grille on the back of the head restra int.
00BBYo u can adjust the blo wer output of AIR‐
SCARF vents 1using the AIRSCARF button
(

During kickdown, you cannot shift gears using
th esteering wheel gearshift paddles. The auto‐
matic transmission shifts up tothe next gear

desired speed is reached.
Glide mode function
Wi th an anticipatory driving style, glide mode
helps youto reduce fuel consum ption.
Glide mode is characterized bythefo llowing:
RThe combustion engine is disconnected from
th e driv etra in and theve hicle continues to
ro ll in neut ral.
RThe transmission position 005Bis displa yed in
green in the multifunction displa y.
Glide mode is activated if thefo llowing condi‐
tions are me t:
RDrive program Eis selected.
RThe speed is wi thin a suitable range
RThe cours e ofthero ad is suitable, e.g. no
st eep uphill or downhill gradients or tight
bends.
RYo u are no longe r depressingthe accelera tor
or brake pedal. 00CE
Glide mode can also be activated if you ha ve
selected the "Eco" setting forth e drive
(engine management) when in drive program
I.
Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no longer met.
Ve hicles with Driving Assistance Package,
Ac tive Di stance Assist DI STRONIC or Active
Brake Assi st:gl ide mode is also deactivated
depending on the traf fic situation and theve hi‐
cle then switches to overru n mode. This fur ther
re duces fuel consum ption.

manufacturing standards.
R"LT": light truck tires according toUS manu‐
fa cturing standards.
R"T": compact emer gency spa rewheels with
high tire pressure that are only designe dfo r

Aspect ratio 3
:
Ra tio between tire height and tire width in per‐

Tire code 4
(tire type):R"R" radial tire
R"D": bias ply tire
R"B": bias belted tires
R"ZR": radial tire with a maximum speed abo ve

ter5
:
The diam eter of the bead seat (not the diame ter
of therim flange). The rim diame ter is specified
in inches (in).
Load-bearing index 6
:
Numerical code that specifies the maximum
load-bearing capacity of a tire (e.g. "91" cor re‐
sponds to1356 lbs (6 15kg)).
The load-bearing capacity of the tire must be at
least half the permissible axle load of your vehi‐
cle. Do not overload the tires byexc eeding the
specified load limit.

these are ins talled on theve hicle, but does not
include passengers or luggage.
Maximum tire load: the maximum tire load is
th e maximum permissible weight in kilog rams or
lbs for which a tire is appr oved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure: maxi‐
mum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire: maximum load on
one tire. This is calculated bydividing the maxi‐
mum axle load of one axle bytwo.
PSI (pounds per square in ch):standard unit of
measurement for tire pressure .
Aspect ratio: ratio between tire height and tire
width in pe rcent.
Ti re pressure: pressure inside the tire applying
an outward forc eto eve rysquare inch of the tire.
The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascals (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be cor rected when
th e tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure: the tires are cold when the
ve hicle has been par kedfo r at least 3 hours without direct sunlight on
the tires or theve hicle
has been driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Ti re contact sur face: the part of the tire that
comes into con tact wi th thero ad.
Ti re bead: the purpose of the tire bead is to
ensure that the tire sits securely on the wheel
ri m. There are se veral wire cores in the tire bead
to pr
eve ntthe t
ire fromchanging length on the
wheel rim.
Side wall:the part of the tire between the tread
and the tire bead.
We ight of optional equipment: the combined
we ight of the optional equipment weighing more
th an there placed standard parts and more than
5 lbs (2.3 kg).This optional equipment, such as
high-per form ance brakes, le vel control sy stem, a
ro of luggage rack or high-per form ance batte ries,
is not included in the curb weight and thewe ight
of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique
identification number which can be used bya
tire manufactu rerto identify tires, forex ample,
in a product recall, and thus identify the pur‐
ch asers. The TIN is made up of the manufactur‐ er's identity code, tire size, tire type code and
th
e manufacturing date.
Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index is a
code that con tains the maximum load-bearing
capacity of a tire.
Tr action: traction is the grip resulting from fric‐
tion between the tires and thero ad sur face.
We ar indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars)
th at are distributed overth e tire conta ct surface.
If th e tire tread is le vel with the bars, thewe ar
limit of 1/ 16in (1.6 mm) has been reached.
Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution
of vehicle occupants ov
er design
ated seat posi‐
tions in a vehicle.
Maximum permissible pa yload weight: nomi‐
nal load and luggage load plus 150 lb (68 kg)
multiplied bythe number of seats in theve hicle.
