2019 MERCEDES-BENZ CLA tire pressure

Parking tips:
ROn narrow roads, drive as close to the parkingspace as possible
RParking spaces that are littered or overgrownmight be identified or measured incorrectly
RParking spaces that are partially occupied bytrailer drawbars might not be identified assuch or be measured incorrectly
RSnowfall or heavy rain may lead to a parkingspace being measured inaccurately
RPay attention to the warning messages ofParking Assist PARKTRONIC during the park-ing procedure (Ypage 164).
RYou can intervene in the steering procedureto correct it at any time. Active Parking Assistwill then be canceled
RWhen transporting a load which protrudesfrom your vehicle, you should not use ActiveParking Assist
RNever use Active Parking Assist when snowchains are installed
RMake sure that the tire pressures are alwayscorrect. This has a direct influence on theparking characteristics of the vehicle.
Use Active Parking Assist for parking spaces:
Rthat are parallel or at right-angles to the direc-tion of travel
Ron straight roads, not bends
Ron the same level as the road, e.g. not on thepavement
Detecting parking spaces
Objects located above the detection range ofActive Parking Assist will not be detected whenthe parking space is measured. These are nottaken into account when the parking procedureis calculated, e.g. overhanging loads, truck over-hangs or loading ramps. Active Parking Assistmay therefore guide you into the parking spacetoo early.
Active Parking Assist does not support you park-ing in spaces at right angles to the direction oftravel if:
Rtwo parking spaces are located directly nextto one another
Rthe parking space is directly next to a lowobstacle such as a low curb
Ryou park forwards
Active Parking Assist does not support you park-ing in spaces that are parallel or at right anglesto the direction of travel if:
Rthe parking space is on a curb
Rthe system reads the parking space as beingblocked, for example by foliage or grass pav-ing blocks
Rthe area is too small for the vehicle to maneu-ver into
Rthe parking space is bordered by an obstacle,e.g. a tree, a post or a trailer
Further information about the detection range(Ypage 163).
GWARNING
If there are objects above the detection range:
Rthe Parking Package with rear view camera
may steer too early
Rthe vehicle may not stop in front of these
objects
This could cause a collision. There is a risk of
an accident.
If objects are located above the detection
range, stop and deactivate the Parking Pack-
age with rear view camera.

MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
properties)
General notes
With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat char-acteristics), you can continue to drive your vehi-cle even if there is a total loss of pressure in oneor more tires. The affected tire must not showany clearly visible damage.
You can recognize a MOExtended tire by theMOExtended marking which appears on thesidewall of the tire. You will find this markingnext to the tire size designation, the load-bear-ing capacity and the speed index (Ypage 305).
MOExtended tires may be used only in conjunc-tion with an activated tire pressure loss warningsystem (Canada only) or tire pressure monitor(USA only).
If a pressure loss warning message appearsin the multifunction display:
Robserve the instructions in the display mes-sages (Ypage 213).
Rcheck the tire for damage
Rif driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode isapproximately 50 miles (80 km) when the vehi-cle is partially laden. When the vehicle is fullyladen it is approximately 19 miles (30 km).
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-tance possible depends upon:
Rvehicle speed
Rroad condition
Routside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat modemay be reduced by extreme driving conditionsor maneuvers, or it can be increased through amoderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode iscounted from the moment the tire pressure losswarning appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of50 mph (80 km/h).
When replacing one or all tires, please observethe following specifications for your vehicle'stires:
Rsize
Rtype and
Rthe "MOExtended" marking
If a tire has gone flat and cannot be replacedwith a MOExtended tire, a standard tire may beused as a temporary measure. Make sure thatyou use the proper size and type (summer orwinter tire).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires arenot equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. Itis therefore recommended that you additionallyequip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you mounttires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be obtained froma qualified specialist workshop.
Important safety notes
GWARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving
characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner-
ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers,
and driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes,
off-road). This applies in particular to a laden
vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
Ryou hear banging noises.
Rthe vehicle starts to shake.
Ryou see smoke and smell rubber.
RESP®is intervening constantly.
Rthere are tears in the sidewalls of the tire.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked at a qualified specialist
workshop with regard to their further use. The
defective tire must be replaced in every case.

Tire pressure reached
GWARNING
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. There is a risk of
accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
accordingly and drive carefully. Do not exceed
the specified maximum speed with a tire that
has been repaired using tire sealant.
USA only:The maximum permissible speed fora tire sealed with tire sealant is 50 mph(80 km/h). The upper part of the TIREFIT stickermust be affixed to the instrument cluster in thedriver's field of vision.
If a tire pressure of 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi) hasbeen attained after ten minutes:
XSwitch off the tire inflation compressor.
XUnscrew the filler hose from the valve of thefaulty tire.Note that tire sealant may escape when youunscrew the filler hose.
XUSA only:Stow the tire sealant bottle and thetire inflation compressor.
XPull away immediately.
XStop after driving for approximately tenminutes and check the tire pressure with thetire inflation compressor.The tire pressure must now be at least130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).
GWARNING
If the required tire pressure is not reached
after driving for a short period, the tire is too
badly damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair
the tire in this instance. Damaged tires and a
tire pressure that is too low can significantly
impair the vehicle's braking and driving char-
acteristics. There is a risk of accident.
Do not continue driving. Contact a qualified
specialist workshop.
iUSA only:In cases such as the one men-tioned above, contact an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center. Or call1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
XUSA only:Correct the tire pressure if it is stillat least 130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). See the Tireand Loading Information placard on the driv-er's side B-pillar or the tire pressure table inthe fuel filler flap for values.
XTo increase the tire pressure:switch on thetire inflation compressor.
XTo reduce the tire pressure:depress pres-sure release buttonCnext to pressuregaugeD.
XWhen the tire pressure is correct, unscrew thefiller hose from the valve of the sealed tire.Note that tire sealant may escape when youunscrew the filler hose.
XScrew the valve cap onto the tire valve of thesealed tire.
XTo remove the tire sealant bottle from the tireinflation compressor, press together the lock-ing tabs on the yellow cap.
XPull the tire sealant bottle out of the tire infla-tion compressor.
The filler hose remains attached to the tiresealant bottle.
XDrive to the nearest qualified specialist work-shop and have the tire changed there.

Operation
Information on driving
Check the tire pressure when the vehicle isheavily laden and adjust prior to a trip.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noisesand unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-ing to one side. This may indicate that thewheels or tires are damaged. If you suspect thata tire is defective, reduce your speed immedi-ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible tocheck the wheels and tires for damage. Hiddentire damage could also be causing the unusualhandling characteristics. If you find no signs ofdamage, have the tires and wheels checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
When parking your vehicle, make sure that thetires do not get deformed by the curb or otherobstacles. If they cannot be avoided, drive overobstacles such as curbs slowly and at an obtuseangle. Otherwise, you may damage the wheelsor tires.
Regular checking of wheels and tires
GWARNING
Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pres-
sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of
your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.
Check the tires regularly for signs of damage
and replace any damaged tires immediately.
