General notes With
MOExt ended tires(tires withrunflatchar-
acteristics ),you can cont inue todrive yourvehi-
cle even ifthere isatotal lossofpressure inone
or more tires.Theaffected tiremust notshow
any clearly visibledamage.
You canrecogniz eaMOExt ended tirebythe
MOExt ended marking whichappears onthe
sidewa llof the tire. Youwillfind thismarking
next tothe tire size designation, theload-bear-
ing capacity andthespeed index(Ypage 305).
MOExt ended tiresmaybeused onlyinconj unc-
tion with anactivated tirepressure losswarning
system (Canada only)ortire pressure monitor
(USA only).
If apressur eloss warning message appears
in the multifu nctiondisplay:
R observe theinstruct ionsinthe display mes-
sages (Ypage 213).
R check thetire fordamage
R ifdriving on,observe thefollowing notes
The driving distance possibleinrun-flat modeis
approximately 50miles (80km) when thevehi-
cle ispartially laden.Whenthevehicle isfully
laden itis approximately 19miles (30km).
In addition tothe vehicle load,thedriving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
R vehicle speed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possibleinrun-flat mode
may bereduced byextrem edriving condition s
or maneuvers, oritcan beincreased througha
moderate styleofdriving. The
driving distance possibleinrun-flat modeis
counted fromthemoment thetire pressure loss
warning appears inthe multifunction display.
You must notexceed amaximum speedof
50 mph (80km/h).
When replacing oneorall tires, please observe
the following specifications foryour vehicle's
tires:
R size
R type and
R the "MOExt ended" marking
If atire has gone flatand cannot bereplaced
with aMOExt ended tire,astandard tiremay be
used asatemporary measure.Makesurethat
you usetheproper sizeandtype (summer or
winter tire).
Vehicles equippedwith MOExt ended tiresare
not equipp edwith aTIREFIT kitatthe factory. It
is therefore recommen dedthat youadditionally
equip yourvehicle withaTIREFIT kitifyou mount
tires thatdonot feature run-flat properties, e.g.
winter tires.ATIREFIT kitmay beobtained from
a qual ified specialist workshop.

Securing
thevehicle toprevent itfrom
rolling away If
your vehicle isequippe dwith awheel chock,it
can befound inthe tire-c hange toolkit
(Y page 274).
The folding wheelchock isan additional safety
measure toprevent thevehicle fromrolling
away ,for example whenchanging awheel.
X Fold both plates up0043.
X Fold outlower plate0044.
X Guide thelugs onthe lower platefullyintothe
openings inbase plate 0087. X
Place chocksor other suitable itemsunder
the front andrear ofthe wheel thatisdiago-

Raising thevehicle G
WARNING
If you donot position thejack correct lyat the
appropriate jackingpoint ofthe vehicle, the
jack could tipover withthevehicle raised.
There isarisk ofinjury.
Only position thejack atthe appropriate jack-
ing point ofthe vehicle. Thebase ofthe jack must
bepositioned vertically,directlyunder
the jackin gpoint ofthe vehicle.
! Only
position thejack atthe appropriate
jackin gpoint ofthe vehicle. Otherwise, you
could damage thevehicle.
Observe thefollow ingwhen raising thevehi-
cle:
R To raise thevehicle, onlyusethevehicle-spe-
cific jack thathasbeen tested andapproved
by Mercedes-B enz.Ifused incorrec tly,the
jack could tipover withthevehicle raised.
R The jack isdesigned onlytoraise andhold the
vehicle forashort timewhile awheel isbeing
changed. Itmust notbeused forperforming
maintenan cework under thevehicle.
R Avoid changing thewheel onuphill anddown-
hill slopes.
R Before raising thevehicle, secureitfrom roll-
ing away byapply ingthe parking brakeand
insertin gwheel chocks.Do not disengage the
parking brakewhilethevehicle israised.
R The jack must beplaced onafirm, flatand
non- slipsurface. Onaloose surface, alarge,
flat, load-bearing underlaymustbeused. Ona
slippery surface, anon- slipunderlay mustbe
used, e.g.rubber mats.
R Do not use wooden blocksorsimilar objects
as ajack underlay. Otherwise, thejack willnot
be able toachieve itsload-bearing capacity
due tothe restrict edheight.
R Make surethatthedistance between the
underside ofthe tires andtheground doesnot
exceed 1.2in(3 cm).
R Never placeyourhands andfeet under the
raised vehicle.
R Do not lieunder thevehicle.
R Do not start theengine whenthevehicle is
raised.
R Do not open orclose adoor orthe trunk lid
when thevehicle israised.
R Make surethatnopersons arepresent inthe
