If
th e÷ ESP®
wa rning lamp flashes in the
instrument clus ter,one or se veralve hicle wheels
has reached its grip limit:
R Adapt your driving style to suit the cur rent
ro ad and weather conditions.
R Do not deactivate ESP ®
.
R Onlydepress the accelera tor pedal as far as
is necessary when pulling away.
It can be advantageous todeactivate ESP ®
in the
fo llowing situations toimpr ovetraction:
R When using snow chains.
R In deep sn ow.
R On sand or gr avel. %
Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action, which enhances traction.
If th e÷ ESP®
wa rning lamp lights up continu‐
ousl y,ESP ®
is not available due toa malfunction.
Obse rveth efo llowing information:
R Warning and indicator lamps (/ page 633)
R Display messages (/ page577)
ETS/4ETS (Elect ronic Traction Sy stem)
ETS/4E TStraction control is pa rtof ESP ®
and
makes it possible topull away and accelerate on
a slippe rycar riag ew ay.
If yo u select theF drive prog ram, a special
ETS sy stem specifically suited tooff-road terrain
is automatically activated. ETS/4E
TScan impr ovetheve hicle's traction by
inter vening in thefo llowing ways:
R The drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin.
R More drive torque is transferred tothe wheel
or wheels with traction.
Influence of drive prog rams on ESP ®
The drive prog rams enable ESP ®
to adapt todif‐
fe re nt we ather and road conditions as well as
th e driver's prefer red driving style. You can
select the drive prog rams using theDY NA MIC
SELECT switch (/ page195). 220
Driving and parking

#
Inthese situations, do not use Active
Pa rking Assist. Sn
owfa ll or heavy rain may lead toa parking
space being measured inaccuratel y.Pa rking
spaces that are partial lyoccupied bytrailer
dr aw bars might not be identified as such or be
measured incor rectly. Only use Active Parking
Assist on le vel, high-grip ground.
Do not useActive Parking Assist in thefo llowing
situations:
R Inextreme weather conditions such as ice,
pac ked snow or in heavy rain.
R When transporting a load that pr otru des
be yond theve hicle.
R Ifth e parking space is on a steep downhill or
uphill gradient.
R When snow chains are fitted.
Ac tive Parking Assist may also display parking
spaces that are not suitable for parking, e.g. the
fo llowing:
R Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
R Parking spaces on unsuitable sur faces. Ac
tive Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces at right angles tothe direction of
tr av el in thefo llowing situations:
R If two parking spaces are located immedi‐
ately next toeach other.
R Ifth e parking space is immediately next to a
low obs tacle su chas a kerb.
Ac tive Parking Assist will not assist you with
parking spaces parallel or at right angles tothe
direction of tr avel in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth e parking space is on a kerb.
R Ifth e parking space is bordered byan obs ta‐
cle, e.g. a tree, a post or a traile r.Pa

Driving and parking

Note
s on noise or unusual handling charac‐
te rist ics
While driving, pay attention tovibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pulling
to one side. This may indicate that the wheels or
tyres are damaged. If you suspect that a tyre is
defective, reduce your speed immediatel y.Stop
th eve hicle as soon as possible tocheck the
wheels and tyres for dama ge. Hidden tyre dam‐
age could also be causing the unusual handling
ch aracteristics. If youfind no signs of damage,
ha ve the tyres and wheels checked at a qualified
specialist workshop. Note
s onregular lyinspecting wheels and
tyres &
WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged tyres
Dama ged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose cont rol of your
ve hicle. #
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. Car
ryout thefo llowing checks on all wheels reg‐
ularly, at least once a month or as requ ired, e.g.
prior toa long journey or driving off- road:
R Check the tyre pressure (/ page 535).
R Visually inspect tyres and wheels for dam‐
age.
R Check theva lve caps.
The valves must be pr otected against mois‐
ture and dirt bytheva lve caps appr oved
especially foryo ur vehicle byMercedes-Benz.
R Visual check of the tyre tread dep thand the
tyre contact su rface across the entire width.
The minimum tread dep thfor summer tyres
is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm. Note

Onlyfit snow chains tothere ar wheels
of 4MATIC vehicles. R
Snow chains are on ly permissible for cer tain
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Cent re.

Vehicles with AIRMATIC or E- ACTIVE
BO DY CONT ROL:if snow chains are fitted,
only drive at raised vehicle le vel .
% You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(/ page 234).
% You can deactivate ESP ®
to pull away
( / page 222). This allo wsthe wheels to
spin, achieving an increased driving forc e. Ty

s on tyre pressure &
WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase. R
The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes
R before embarking on a lon ger journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tyre pressure as necessar y. Ty
re pressure which is too high or too low can:
R Shor tenth e service life of the tyres.
R Cause increased tyre damage.
R Adversely af fect driving characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning. &
WARNING Risk of accident from repea‐
te d tyre pressure drop
If th e tyre pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tyre pressure can cause the tyres
to bur st. #
Inspect the tyre for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Information on
there commended tyre pressure
fo rth eve hicle's factor y-fitted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap (/ page 536).
Use a suitable pressure gauge tocheck the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does
not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure. Wheels and tyres

has
tobe inflated with the accompanying com‐
pressor.
Check the tyre pressure of the collapsible spare
wheel once fitted. Co rrect the pressure as nec‐
essar y.
The maximum permissible speed with a collapsi‐
ble spare wheel fitted is 80 km/h.
Do not fit snow chains with the collapsible spare
wheel.
Re place the collapsible spare wheel af ter six
ye ars at the latest, rega rdless of wear.

hicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: if a collapsible spare wheel is fitted
th e tyre pressure monitoring sy stem cann ot
function reliably. For a few minutes af ter an
emergency spare wheel is fitted, the sy stem
may still display the tyre pressure of the
re mo ved wheel. Only restart the sy stem
again when the collapsible spare wheel has
been replaced with a new wheel.

WARNING Risk of inju ryor death due to
an unsecured collapsible spare wheel
If th e collapsible spare wheel is not secured
cor rectly, it can slip, tip over or be thrown
around.

cured collapsible spare wheel and be seri‐
ously injured as a result, particular lywhen
accelerating, braking, abruptly changing
direction or in theev ent of an accident. #

wheel in the emer gency spa rewheel
bag and attach it tothe brac ket in the
load compartment. #
Alw ays ensure that the lashing stra ps
on the emer gency spa rewheel bag are
safely secured on there ar tie-down
ey es on the load compartment floor. Depending on
theve hicle's equipment, the col‐
lapsible spare wheel is located in an emer gency
spa rewheel bag on a brac ket in the load com‐
partment. The collapsible spare wheel in the
emer gency spa rewheel bag and the brac ket are
lashed wi thstra ps and secured using there ar
tie-down eyes on the load compartment floor. Re
