Therefore, obser
vethefo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
considerably orresult in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front
To remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad
sur face.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts R
avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully
% Also obser vethe no tes on regular lych ecking
wheels and tyres (/ page 321).
Note s on driving through water on the road
sur face
Wa ter which has entered into theve hicle can
damage the engine, electrics and transmission.
Wa ter can also enter the air intake of the engine
and cause engine damage.
Obser vethefo llowing if you must drive thro ugh
wate r:
R The water,when calm, may only reach the
lo we r edge of theve hicle body.
R Drive at walking pace at most, otherwise
wate r can enter theve hicle interior or engine
compartment.
R Vehicles tr avelling in front, or oncoming vehi‐
cles, can create waves which may exceed the
maximum permissible dep thofthewa ter.
The braking ef fect of the brakes is reduced af ter
fo rd ing. Brake carefully while paying attention toth
e traf fic conditions until braking po wer has
been fully restored. Fu
nction of rear axle steering The
rear axle steering is an electromechanical
auxiliary steering on there ar axle which adjusts
th esteering of there ar wheels according tothe
position of the front wheels, depending on the
speed. This results in greater manoeuvrability
and impr ovedstabilit y.
Re ar axle steering has thefo llowing characteris‐
tics:
R reduced steering ef fort and turning circle
re sulting in reduced parking ef fort
R impr oved driving stabilit y,e.g. when corner‐
ing
R more direct steering resulting in impr oved
handling of theve hicle

te d degree.
R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
R The engine's torque is on lyrestricted to a
limited degree and the drive wheels can spin.
The spinning of the wheels results in a cut‐

ESP ®
should on lybe deactivated in the
fo llowing situations. When ESP
®
is deactivated, theå and¤
wa rning lamps light up continuously in the
instrument clus ter.
Deactivating ESP ®
has thefo llowing ef fects:
R Driving stability will no lon ger be impr oved.
R The drive wheels could spin.
R ETS/4ETS traction control is still active.
% Even when ESP ®
is deactivated, you are still

It may be best toactivate ESP ®
SPO RTor deacti‐
va te ESP ®
in thefo llowing situations:
R When using snow chains. R
In deep snow.
R On sand or gr avel.
% Spinning the wheels results in a cutting
action, which enhances traction.
% Activate ESP ®
as soon as the situations
described abo veno longer apply. ESP ®
will
ot herwise not be able tostabilise theve hicle
if th eve hicle starts toskid or a wheel starts
to spin.
If th e÷ ESP®

ously even when ESP ®
is acti vated, ESP ®
is not
av ailable due toa malfunction.

R The drive wheels are braked individually if
they spin. 134

Note
s on noise or unusual handling charac‐
te rist ics
Make sure there are no vibrations, noises or
unusual handling characteristics when theve hi‐
cle is in motion. This may indicate that the
wheels or tyres are damaged. Hidden tyre dam‐
age could also be causing the unusual handling
ch aracteristics.
If yo u suspect that a tyre is defective, reduce
yo ur speed immediately and ha vethe tyres and
wheels checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Note
s onregular lyinspecting wheels and
tyres &
WARNING Risk of injury duetodamaged
tyres
Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss. #
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to
insuf ficient tyre tread
Insu fficient tyre tread will result in reduced
tyre grip.
The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet
ro ads, especially when the speed of theve hi‐
cle is not adap tedto suit the conditions. #
Thus, you should regularly check the
tread de pth and the condition of the
tyre contact su rface across the entire
width of all tyres.
Minimum tread dep thfor:
R Summer tyres: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm #
For saf etyre asons, replace the tyres
before the legally-prescribed limit for
th e minimum tread dep thisreached. Car
ryout thefo llowing checks on all wheels reg‐
ularly, at least once a month or as requ ired, for
ex ample, prior toa long journey or driving off-
ro ad:
R Check the tyre pressure (/ page 322).
R Visually inspect wheels and tyres for dam‐
age.
R Check theva lve caps.
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
s on snow chains &
WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct snow chain fitting
If yo u ha vefitted snow chains tothe front
wheels, the snow chains may drag against
th eve hicle body or chassis components.
This could cause damage totheve hicle or
th e tyres. Wheels and tyres

#
Neverfit snow chains on the front
wheels. #
Only fit snow chains on there ar wheels
in pairs. *
NO
TEDama getothe wheel trim from fit‐
te d snow chains If sn
ow ch ains are fitted tosteel wheels, the
wheel trims can be damaged. #
Remo vethe wheel trims of steel wheels
before fitting snow chains. Obse
rveth efo llowing no tes when using snow
ch ains:
R Snow ch ains are on ly permissible for cer tain
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Cent re.
R For saf etyre asons, only use snow chainsthat
ha ve been specifically appr ovedfo ryo ur
ve hicle byMercedes-Benz, or snow chains
with the same quality standard. R
If sn ow ch ains are fitted, the maximum per‐
missible speed is 50 km/h.
R Vehicles with le vel control: if snowchains
are fitted, only drive at raised vehicle le vel.
% You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(/ page 141).
% You can deactivate ESP ®
to pull away
( / page 135). This allo ws the wheels to
spin, achieving an increased driving forc e. Ty
re pressure Note
s on tyre pressure &
WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinflate d oroverinfla 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. 322
