Protecting the environment
+ENVIRONMENTAL NOTEEnvironmental
damage duetooperating conditions and
personal driving style
The pollutant emission of your vehicle is
directly related tothewa yyo u operate your
ve hicle.
Yo u can help toprotect the environment by
operating your vehicle in an environmentally-
re sponsible manner. Please obser vethefo l‐
lowing recommendations on ope rating condi‐
tions and pe rsonal driving style.
Operating conditions:
#Make sure that the tire pressure is cor‐
re ct.
#Do not car ryany unnecessary weight
(e.g. roof luggage rack s once you no
longe r need them).
#Ad here tothe service inter vals.
A regularly serviced vehicle will contri b‐
ute toenvironmen tal pr otection.
#Alw ays ha vemaintenance workcar ried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
Pe rsonal driving style:
#Do not depress the accelera tor pedal
when starting the engine.
#Do not warm upthe engine while the
ve hicle is stationar y.
#Drive carefully and maintain a suitable
dist ance from theve hicle in front.
#Av oid frequent, sudden acceleration
and braking.
#Change gear in good time and use each
ge ar only uptoÔ of its maximum
engine speed.
#Switch off the engine in stationary traf‐
fi c, e.g. byusing the ECO start/ stop
function.
#Drive fuel-ef ficiently.
Environmental issues and recommendations:
it is recommended that youre -use or recycle
materials ins tead of just disposing of them. The
releva nt environmental guidelines and regu‐
lations ser vetoprotect the environment and
must be strictly obser ved.

WARNING Risk offire and explosion due
to electros tatic charge
Electros tatic charge can create sparksand

Driving and pa rking

If a tire pressureof180 kPa (1.8 bar/26 psi)
has been attained af ter eight minutes:
&
WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tires
A tire temp orarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds.
#Ad apt your dr ivingst yle according lyand
drive carefull y.
#Do notexceed the specified maximum
speed with a tire that has been sealed
using tire sealant.
Observ eth e maximum permissible speed for a
tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph(8 0 km/h).
#Af fix th e upper section of the TIREFIT sticke r
to the instrument clus ter where it will be eas‐
ily seen bythe driver.
* NO
TEStaining caused byleaking tire
sealant
Af ter use, excess tire sealant may leak out
from thefilling hose.
#Therefore, place thefilling hose in the
plastic bag that con tained the TIREFIT
kit.
+ENVIRONMEN TALNO TEEnvironmental
pollution caused byenvironmen tally ir re‐
sponsible disposal
Ti re sealant contains polluta nts.
#Have the tire sealant bottle disposed of
professionall y,e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
#Switch off the tire inflation compressor.
#Un scr ew thefilling hose from theva lve of the
defective tire.
#St ore the tire sealant bottle, the tire inflation
compressor and thewa rning triangle.
#Pull away immediatel y.
#Stop driving af ter app roxima tely ten minu tes
and check the tire pressure using the tire
inflation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
&
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tire pressure not being reached
If th e specified tire pressure is not reached
af te r a brief drive, the tire is too badly dam‐
aged. The tire sealant cannot repair the tire
in this ins tance.
Dama ged tires and tire pressure that is too
low can significantly impair the braking prop‐
erties and the handling characteristics.
#Do not continue driving.
#Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
In cases such as the one mentioned abo ve, con‐
ta ct an au thorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or
call 1-800-FOR-MERC edes (inthe USA) or
1-800-387-0 100 (in Canada).
#Cor rect the tire pressure if it is still at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See theTire and
Loading Info rmation placard on the driver's
side B‑pillar or the tire pressure table in the
fuel filler flap forva lues.
#To increase the tire pressure: switchon
th e tire inflation compressor.

Tire pressure
Note s on tire pressure
&
WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tire pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tires pose the
fo llowing risks:
RThe tires may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase.
RThe tires may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tire
traction.
RThe driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
#Comply with there commended tire
pressure and check the tire pressure of
all tires including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
Rat least once a month
Rwhen the load changes
Rbefore embarking on a longe r journey
Rif operating conditionschange, e.g. off-
ro ad driving
#Ad just the tire pressure as necessar y.
Driving withtire pressure that is too high or too
low can:
RSho rten the service life of the tires.
RCause increased tire damage.
RAd versely af fect driving characteristics and
th us dr iving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning.
&
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics.
#Av oid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Tire pressure which is too low can cause:
RTire defects as a result of overheating
RImpaired handling characteristics
RIrre gular wear
RIncreased fuel consum ption
&
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can
bur stbecause they are damaged more easily
by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics.
#Av oid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Excessively high tire pressure can result in:
RIncreased braking dis tance
RImpaired handling characteristics
RIrre gular wear
