XWhen the vehicle is stationary, depress thebrake pedal and keep it depressed.
XShift the automatic transmission to position].
XRelease the brake pedal.
XRelease the electric parking brake.
XSwitch off the automatic locking(Ypage 199).
XSwitch on the hazard warning lamps(Ypage 104).
XTurn the SmartKey in the ignition lock topositionZand leave the SmartKey in theignition lock.
Towing a vehicle with both axles on
the ground
It is important that you observe the safetyinstructions when towing away your vehicle(Ypage 298).
XOn vehicles with KEYLESS-GO or theKEYLESS-GO start function:you must usethe SmartKey instead of the Start/Stop but-ton (Ypage 126).
The automatic transmission automaticallyshifts to position]when you open the driv-er's or front-passenger door or when youremove the SmartKey from the ignition lock. Inorder to ensure that the automatic transmis-sion stays in position\\when towing awaythe vehicle, you must observe the followingpoints:
XMake sure that the vehicle is stationary.
XTurn the SmartKey to positionHin the igni-tion lock.
XDepress and hold the brake pedal.
XShift the automatic transmission to position\\.
XLeave the SmartKey in positionHin theignition lock.
XRelease the brake pedal.
XRelease the electric parking brake.
XSwitch on the hazard warning lamps(Ypage 104).
iIn order to signal a change of directionwhen towing the vehicle with the hazardwarning lamps switched on, use the combi-nation switch as usual. In this case, only theindicator lamps for the direction of travel
flash. After resetting the combinationswitch, the hazard warning lamp startsflashing again.
Permitted towing methods
Mercedes-Benz recommends transporting yourvehicle in the case of a breakdown, rather thantowing it away.
When towing away, use a towing rope or atowing bar with both axles on the ground. Donot use any tow bar systems.
Transporting the vehicle
Vehicles with automatic transmission
!When the vehicle is loaded for transport,the front and rear axles must be stationaryand on the same transportation vehicle.Positioning over the connection point of thetransport vehicle is not permitted. The drivetrain may otherwise be damaged.
All vehicles
!You may only secure the vehicle by thewheels, not by parts of the vehicle such asaxle or steering components. Otherwise, thevehicle could be damaged.
XTurn the SmartKey to positionHin the igni-tion lock (Ypage 125).
XShift the transmission to position\\.
As soon as the vehicle has been loaded:
XPrevent the vehicle from rolling away byapplying the electric parking brake.
XShift the transmission to position].

XTurn the SmartKey to positionZin the igni-tion lock and remove it.
XSecure the vehicle.
The towing eye can be used to pull the vehicleonto a trailer or transporter for transportingpurposes.
Notes on 4MATIC vehicles
!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 only either betowed away with both axles on the ground orbe loaded up and transported.
If the vehicle's transmission, front, or rear axleis damaged, have the vehicle transported on atruck or trailer.
In the event of damage to the electricalsystem:
If the battery is defective, the automatic trans-mission will be locked in position]. To shiftthe automatic transmission to position\\, youmust provide power to the vehicle's on-boardelectrical system in the same way as whenjump-starting (Ypage 295).
Have the vehicle transported on a transporteror trailer.
Tow-starting (emergency engine
starting)
!Vehicles with automatic transmission mustnot be tow-started. You could otherwisedamage the automatic transmission.
iYou can find information on "Jump-start-ing" under (Ypage 295).
Fuses
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher
amperage, the electric cables could be over-
loaded. This could result in a fire. There is a
risk of an accident and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with the speci-
fied new fuses having the correct amperage.
!Only use fuses that have been approvedfor Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which havethe correct fuse rating for the system con-cerned. Only use fuses marked with an "S".Otherwise, components or systems could bedamaged.
!Make sure that no moisture can enter thefuse box when the cover is open.
!When closing the cover, make sure that itis lying correctly on the fuse box. Moistureseeping in or dirt could otherwise impair theoperation of the fuses.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close downfaulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-nents on the circuit and their functions stopoperating.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses ofthe same rating, which you can recognize bythe color and value. The fuse ratings, andother items of information to be complied withare, listed in the fuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is in the fuse box inthe front-passenger footwell (Ypage 302).
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have thecause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-cialist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Before changing a fuse
XSecure the vehicle against rolling away(Ypage 145).
XSwitch off all electrical consumers.
XVehicles without KEYLESS-GO:removethe SmartKey from the ignition lock.
XVehicles with KEYLESS-GO start-func-tion or KEYLESS-GO:open the driver'sdoor.The vehicle electronics are now in positionZ. This is the same as the SmartKey beingremoved from the ignition.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
RFuse box in the engine compartment on theleft-hand side of the vehicle, when viewed inthe direction of travel
RFuse box in the front-passenger footwell

The wear patterns on the front and rear tiresdiffer, depending on the operating conditions.Rotate the wheels before a clear wear patternhas formed on the tires. Front tires typicallywear more on the shoulders and the rear tiresin the center.
On vehicles that have the same size front andrear wheels, you can rotate the wheels accord-ing to the intervals in the tire manufacturer'swarranty book in your vehicle documents. If nowarranty book is available, the tires should berotated every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to10,000 km). Depending on tire wear, this maybe required earlier. Do not change the direc-tion of wheel rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel andthe brake disc thoroughly every time a wheelis rotated. Check the tire pressure and, if nec-essary, restart the tire pressure loss warningsystem (Canada only) or the tire pressuremonitor (USA only).
Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation haveadditional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk ofhydroplaning. These advantages can only begained if the tires are installed correspondingto the direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicatesits correct direction of rotation.
Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,dry and preferably dark place. Protect the tiresfrom oil, grease, gasoline and diesel.
Mounting a wheel
Preparing the vehicle
XStop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery andlevel ground.
XApply the electric parking brake manually.
XBring the front wheels into the straight-ahead position.
XShift the transmission to position].
XSwitch off the engine.
