MAGIC SKY CONTROL
General notes
MAGIC SKY CONTROL is apanorama roof, the
transparenc yofwhich can be changed by apply-
ing electrical voltage.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL can be switched between
darkened and transparent states.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL darken sautomatically
after ashort period when you turn the SmartKey
to position uin the ignition lock or remove the
SmartKey.
Risk of electric shock
GDANGER
MAGIC SKY CONTROL operates using high
voltage. If the trim behind the overhead con-
trol panel is damaged or removed, electrical
component swill be exposed. If you touch
these components, you could get an electric
shock.T here isarisk of fatal injury.
RNever remove the trim behind the overhead
control panel.
RIf the trim is damaged, never touch the
electrical component sbehind it.
RAlways have work on the MAGIC SKY CON-
TROL carried out at aqualified specialist
workshop.
The electrical component sofMAGIC SKY CON-
TROL are protected by apaneling behind the
overhead control panel.
The MAGIC SKY CONTROL control unit is
marked with ayellow warning sticker that warns
you of high voltage. The electric cables of the
high-voltage section are color orange.
Operating MAGIC SKY CONTROL
XTurn the SmartKey to position 1or2 in the
ignition lock.
MAGIC SKY CONTROL switches to the status
it was set to before the engin ewas switched
off.
XTo change the degree of transparency:
press button :.
At temperatures below freezing, the change is
slower and uneven .The entire process may take
some time.

MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
characteristics)
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.
MOExtended tires may only be use dinconjunc-
tion with an active tire pressure loss warning
system or with an active tire pressure monitor
and on wheels specifically tested by Mercedes-
Benz.
Notes on driving with MOExtended tires with a
flat tire (
Ypage2 47).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are
not equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefore recommendedt hat you additionally
equip you rvehiclew ithaTIREFIT kit if you mount
tires that do not feature run-fla tcharacteristics,
e.g. winter tires. ATIREFIT kit can be obtained
from aqualified specialist workshop.
Winter operation
General notes
Have you rvehiclew inter-proofed at aqualified
specialist workshopatt he onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing awheel"
section (
Ypage2 80).
Driving with summer tires
At temperatures below 45 ‡(+7 †), summer
tires lose elasticity and therefore traction and
braking power. Change the tires on you rvehicle
to M+S tires .Using summe rtires at very cold
temperatures coul dcaus ecracks to form,
thereby damaging the tires permanently.
Mercedes-Benz cannot accept responsibility for
this type of damage.
GWARNING
Damaged tires can caus etire inflation pres-
sure loss. As aresult, you coul dlose control of
you rvehicle. There is arisk of accident.
Check the tires regularl yfor signs of damage
and replace any damaged tires immediately.
M+S tires
GWARNING
M+S tires with atire tread depth of less than
ã in (4 mm) are not suitable for use in winter
and do not provide sufficient traction. There is
ar isk of an accident.
M+S tires with atread depth of less than ãin
(4 mm) must be replaced immediately.
At temperatures below 45 ‡(+7 †), use winter
tires or all-season tires. Both type softire are
identified by the M+S marking.
Only winter tires bearing the isnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking provide
the best possibleg rip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tires wil lallow driving safety systems
such as ABS and ESP
®to function optimally in
winter. Theset ires have beend eveloped specif-
ically for driving in snow.
Use M+S tires of the same make and tread on all
wheels to maintain safe handling characteris-
tics.
Always observe the maximu mpermissible
speeds pecified for the M+S tires you have
mounted.
When you have mounted the M+S tires:
XCheck the tire pressures (Ypag e266).
XVehicles for Canada: restart the tire pres-
sure loss warning system (Ypag e267).
XRestart the tire pressure monitor
(Ypag e267).
Information about driving with an emergency
spare wheel (
Ypag e285).
Snowc hains
GWARNING
If snow chains are installed to the front
wheels, they may drag against the vehicle
body or chassis components. This could
cause damage to the vehicle or the tires.
There is arisk of an accident.
