A tire temp orarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs driving characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the maximum speed
limit with a tire that has been repaired
using tire sealant. Obser
vethe maximum permissible speed for a
tire sealed with tire sealant 50 mph (8 0 km/h). #

The tire pressure must now be at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tire pressure not being reached
If th e specified tire pressure is not reached
af te r a brief drive, the tire is too badly dam‐
aged. The tire sealant cannot repair the tire
in this ins tance.
Dama ged tires and tire pressure that is too
low can significantly impair the braking prop‐
erties and the handling characteristics. #
Do not continue driving. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. In cases such as
the one mentioned abo ve, con‐
ta ct an au thorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or
call 1-800-FOR-MERC edes (inthe USA) or
1-800-387-0 100(in Canada). #
Cor rect the tire pressure if it is still at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). You will find the
va lues in theTire and Loading In form ation
placard on the B-pillar on the driver's side or
in the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap. #
Toincrease the tire pressure: switchon
th e tire inflation compressor. Breakdown assis

When giving starting assis tance, al ways
make sure that you on lyconnect bat‐
te ry term inals with identical polarity. #
During starting assis tance, you must
obse rveth e described order for con‐
necting and disconnecting the jumper
cables. #
Do not connect or disconnect the bat‐
te ry cla mp s while the engine is running. &
WARNING Risk ofexplosion during
ch arging process and starting assis tance
During thech arging process and starting
assis tance, the battery may release an explo‐
sive gas mixture. #
Avoid fire , open flames, creating spar ks
and smoking. #
Make sure that there is suf ficient venti‐
lation du ring thech arging process and
during starting assis tance. #
Do not lean over a batter y. &
WARNING Risk ofexplosion from a fro‐
zen battery
A dischar ged battery may freeze at temp era‐
tures slightly abo veor below freezing point.
During starting assis tance or battery charg‐
ing, bat tery gas may be released. #
Alw aysth aw a frozen bat tery out first
before charging it or per form ing start‐
ing assis tance. If
th e indicator/warning lamps in the instrument
clus ter do not light up at low temp eratures, it is
ve ry likely that the dischar ged battery has fro‐
zen. In this case you may neither jump-s tart the
ve hicle nor charge the batter y.
The service life of a battery that has been
th awe d may be dramatically shor tened. The
st arting characteristics may be impaired, espe‐
cially at low temp eratures.

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics. #
Avoid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Ti
re pressure which is too low can cause:
R Tire defects as a result of overheating
R Impaired handling characteristics
R Irre gular wear
R Increased fuel consum ption &
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can
bu rst because they are damaged more easily
by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics. #
Avoid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Excessively high tire pressure can
result in:

&
WARNING Risk of accident caused by
re peated drop in tire pressure
If th e tire pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tire pressure can cause the tires
to bur st. #
Inspect the tire 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. Yo
u can find information on tire pressure forthe
ve hicle's factor y-ins talled tires on thefo llowing
labels:
R Tire and Loading In form ation placard on the
B‑pillar of your vehicle (→ page 384).
R Tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel
fi ller flap (→ page379).
Obse rveth e maximum tire pressure
(→ page 390). Use a suitable tire pressure
gauge tocheck the
tire pressu re. The ou ter appearance of a tire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
th e tire pressure.
Ve hicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: You can also check the tire pressure using
th e on-board computer.
Only cor rect tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Conditions for cold tires:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr aveled less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
A rise in the tire temp erature of 18°F (10 °C)
increases the tire pressure byappr ox.10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi). Take this into account when
ch ecking the tire pressure of warm tires.
The tire pressu re recommended for increased
load/speed in the tire pressure table can af fect
th eride comfort. &
WARNING Risk of accident from unsuita‐
ble accesso ries on the tire valves
If yo u mount unsuitable accessories on totire
va lves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Tire pressure monitoring sy stems for
re trofitting will cause the tire valve toremain
open. This can also result in tire pressure
loss. #
