Towing the vehicle with the front
axle raised
Observe the important safety notes when tow-ing your vehicle with the front axle raised(Ypage 298).
Only vehicles without 4MATIC can betowed with the front axle raised.
!Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towedwith either the front or the rear axle raised,as doing so will damage the transmission.
Vehicles with 4MATIC may either be towedaway with both axles on the ground or be loa-ded up and transported.
!The ignition must be switched off if thevehicle is being towed with the front axle
raised. Otherwise, ESP®may intervene anddamage the brake system.
XOn vehicles with KEYLESS-GO or theKEYLESS-GO start function:you must usethe SmartKey instead of the Start/Stop but-ton (Ypage 126).

The tire pressure monitor does not warn you ofan incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe thenotes on the recommended tire pressure(Ypage 307).
The tire pressure monitor is not able to warnyou of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if thetire is penetrated by a foreign object. In theevent of a sudden loss of pressure, bring thevehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoidabrupt steering movements.
The tire pressure monitor has a yellow warninglamp in the instrument cluster for indicatingpressure loss or a malfunction. Whether thewarning lamp flashes or lights up indicateswhether a tire pressure is too low or the tirepressure monitor is malfunctioning:
Rif the warning lamp is lit continuously, thetire pressure on one or more tires is signifi-cantly too low. The tire pressure monitor isnot malfunctioning.
Rif the warning lamp flashes for around aminute and then remains lit constantly, thetire pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a messageappears in the multifunction display. Observethe information on display messages(Ypage 223).
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunc-tion of the tire pressure monitor to be indica-ted. A malfunction will be indicated by the tirepressure warning lamp flashing for approx-imately one minute and then remaining lit.When the malfunction has been rectified, thetire pressure warning lamp goes out after afew minutes of driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-board computer may differ from those meas-ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge.The tire pressures shown by the on-boardcomputer refer to those measured at sea level.At high altitudes, the tire pressure values indi-cated by a pressure gauge are higher thanthose shown by the on-board computer. In thiscase, do not reduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor canbe affected by interference from radio trans-mitting equipment (e.g. radio headphones,two-way radios) that may be being operated inor near the vehicle.
Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally

After a teach-in process, the tire pressuremonitor automatically detects new wheels ornew sensors. As long as a clear allocation ofthe tire pressure value to the individual wheelsis not possible, theTire Pressure MonitorTire Pressure MonitorActiveActivemessage is shown instead of the tirepressure display. The tire pressures arealready being monitored.
If an emergency spare wheel is mounted, thesystem may continue to show the tire pressureof the wheel that has been removed for a fewminutes. If this occurs, note that the value dis-played for the position where the spare wheelis fitted is not the same as the current tirepressure of the emergency spare wheel.

Instruction labels for tires and loads
GWARNING
Overloaded tires can overheat, causing a
blowout. Overloaded tires can also impair
the steering and driving characteristics and
lead to brake failure. There is a risk of acci-
dent.
Observe the load rating of the tires. The load
rating must be at least half of the GAWR of
your vehicle. Never overload the tires by
exceeding the maximum load.
Two instruction labels on your vehicle showthe maximum possible load.
(1) The Tire and Loading Information placardis on the B-pillar on the driver's side. TheTire and Loading Information placardshows the maximum permissible numberof occupants and the maximum permissi-ble vehicle load. It also contains details ofthe tire sizes and corresponding pressuresfor tires mounted at the factory.
(2) The vehicle identification plate is on the B-pillar on the driver's side. The vehicleidentification plate informs you of thegross vehicle weight rating. It is made upof the vehicle weight, all vehicle occu-pants, the fuel and the cargo. You can alsofind information about the maximum grossaxle weight rating on the front and rearaxle.
The maximum gross axle weight rating isthe maximum weight that can be carriedby one axle (front or rear axle). Neverexceed the maximum load or the maxi-mum gross axle weight rating for the frontor rear axle.

the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
may interfere with the vehicle electronics,
for example if:
Rthe two-way radio is not connected to an
exterior antenna
Rthe exterior antenna is not correctly
mounted or is not low-reflection
This could jeopardize the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior antenna
installed at a qualified specialist workshop.
Always connect two-way radios to the low-
reflection exterior antenna when operating
in the vehicle.
!The operating permit may be invalidated ifthe instructions for installation and use oftwo-way radios are not observed.
In particular, the following requirementsmust be complied with:
Ronly approved wavebands may be used
Robserve the maximum permissible outputin these wavebands
