Driving an dp arking

Parking tips: R
on narrow roads, drive as closely as possible
past the parking space R
parking spaces that are littered or overgrown
might be identified or measured incorrectly R
parking spaces that are partially occupied by
trailer drawbars might not be identified as
such or be measured incorrectly R
snowfall or heavy rain may lead to ap arking
space being measured inaccurately R
pay attention to the Active Parking Assist
PARKTRONIC warning messages during the
parking procedure ( Y
page 151)R
when transportin gal oad which protrudes
from your vehicle, you should not use Parking
Guidance R
never use Parking Guidance with snow chains
or an emergenc ys pare wheel fittedR
make sure that the tire pressures are always
correct. This has ad irect effect on the steer-
ing instructions R
the way your vehicle is positioned in the park-
ing space after parking is dependent on vari-
ous factors. These include the position and
shape of the vehicles parked in fron ta nd
behind it and the conditions of the location. In
some cases, Parking Guidance may guide you
too far or not far enough into ap arking space.
In some cases, it may also lead you across or
ont ot he curb. If necessary, cancel the park-
ing procedure with Parking Guidance.
Detecting parking spaces
C
Detected parking space on the left
D
Parking symbol

To avoid hazardous situations: R
never install snow chains to the front
wheels R
alway si nstall snow chains in pairs to the
rear 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 ,ora re of ac orresponding
standard of quality. For more information,
please contact aq ualified specialist workshop.
If you inten dtom ount snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind: R
Snow chains may not be mounted on all
wheel/tire combinations. Permissible wheel-
tire combinations ( Y
page 284).R
Only use snow chains when driving on roads
completely covered by snow. Remove the
snow chains as soon as possible when you
come to ar oad that is not snow-covered.R
Local regulations may restrict the use of snow
chains. Observe the appropriate regulations if
you wish to mount snow chains. R
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
You may wish to deactivate ESP ®
when pulling
away with snow chains installed ( Y
page 60).
You can thereby allow the wheels to spin in a
controlled manner ,a chieving an increased driv-
ing force (cutting action).

spare wheel ( Y

Tire pressur es pecifications
Important safety notes
G WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks: R
the tires may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase. R
the tires may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction. R
the driving characteristics, as well as steer-
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is ar isk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing the spare wheel: R
monthly, at least R
if the load changes R
before beginning al ong journeyR
under different operating conditions, e.g.
off-road driving
If necessary, correc tt he tire pressure.
The data on the Tire and Loading Information
placard and tire pressure table shown here are
examples. Tire pressure specification sa re vehi-
cle-specific and may deviate from the data
shown here. The tire pressure specifications
that are valid for your vehicle can be found on
the Tire and Loading Information placard and
tire pressure table on the vehicle.
General notes The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factor yc an be found on the
labels described here.
Operation with an emergency spar ew heel:
information on operation with an emergency
spare wheel can be found in the general notes in
the "Emergency spare wheel" section
( Y
page 286).
Further information on tire pressures can be
obtained at aq ualified specialist workshop.Tir ep re ssure 263

Snow chains mus tn ot be mounted on emer-
gency spare wheels.
General notes You can as kf or information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheel satana ut horized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
You shoul dr egularl yc heck the pressure of the
emergency spare wheel ,p ar ticularly prior to
long trips, and correct the pressure as neces-
sary ( Y
page 263). The value on the wheel is
valid.
An emergency spare wheel may also be moun-
ted against the direction of rotation. Observe
the time restriction on us easw el last he speed
limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
Replace the tire sa fte rs ix years at the latest,
regardless of wear. Thi sa ls oa pplies to the
emergency spare wheel.
Whe ny ou are driving with the collapsibl es pare
wheel mounted, the tire pressure loss warning
system or the tire pressure monitor canno tf unc-
tion reliably. Only restart the tire pressure loss
warning system or tire pressure monitor when
the defectiv ew he el ha sb ee nr eplaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor: after
mounting an emergency spare wheel ,t he sys-
tem may stil ld is play the tire pressure of the
removed wheel for af ew minutes. The value dis-
played for the mounted emergency spare wheel
is not the same as the current tire pressure of
the emergency spare wheel.
