350Maintenance and care

=Do not allow the leather to become too damp.
= Do not use a microNber cloth.\bLeather is a natural product. It exhibits natural
surface properties such as diMerences in
structure, marks caused by growth and injury or subtle color diMerences. These surface
properties are characteristics of leather and not material faults. What\bs more, leather issubject to a natural aging process during
which the surface properties change.
Genuine leather seat covers
= Vacuum up dirt such as crumbs or dust and
then clean the seat covers with a damp cotton
cloth and wipe down with a dry cloth. Regu-
larly clean the seat covers.
= For heavy soiling: use a leather care agent rec-
ommended for Mercedes-Benz asercare.
= Leather care: use a leather care agent that

Notes on Oat tires
&WARNING Risk of accident due to a Oat
tire
A Oat tire severely aMects the driving charac-
teristics as well as the steering and braking of
the vehicle.
Tires without run-Oat characteristics: Do not drive with a Oat tire.Change the Oat tire immediately with an
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel.
Alternatively, consult a qualiNed special-
ist workshop.
Tires with run-Oat characteristics:
Observe the information and warning
notes on MOExtended tires (run-Oat
tires).
In the event of a Oat tire, the following options are
available depending on your vehicle\bs equipment:
= Vehicles with MOExtended tires: it is possible
to continue the journey for a short period of
time. Make sure you observe the notes on MOExtended tires (run-Oat tire) ( page 354).
= Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: you can repair the
tire so that it is possible to continue the jour-
ney for a short period of time. To do this, use the TIREFIT kit (  page 355).
= Vehicles with Mercedes me connect: you can
make a call for breakdown assistance via the
Breakdown assistance353

overhead control panel in the case of a break-
down (  page 329).
= All vehicles: change the wheel (  page 392).\bThe emergency spare wheel is available only
in certain countries.
Notes on MOExtended tires (run-Oat tires)
&WARNING Risk of accident when driving in
limp-home mode
When driving in emergency mode the handling
characteristics are impaired.
Do not exceed the speciNed maximum
speed of the MOExtended tires.Avoid any abrupt steering and driving maneuvers as well as driving over obsta-
cles (curbs, pot holes, oM-road). This
applies, in particular, to a loaded vehicle.Stop driving in the emergency mode if
you notice:
= Banging noise
=
Vehicle vibration
= Smoke which smells like rubber
= Continuous ESP n
intervention
= Cracks in the tire side wallsAser driving in emergency mode, have
the rims checked by a qualiNed specialist
workshop with regard to their further
use.The defective tire must be replaced in
every case.
With MOExtended tires (run-Oat tires), you can
continue to drive your vehicle even if there is a
total loss of pressure in one or more tires. How-
ever, the aMected tire must not show signs of
clearly visible damage.
You can recognize MOExtended tires by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the side wall of the tire.
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system:
MOExtended tires may only be used in conjunc-
tion with an activated tire pressure monitoring system.
If a pressure loss warning message appears in thedriver\bs display, proceed as follows:
= Check the tire for damage.
= If driving on, observe the following notes.
Driving distance possible in emergency mode
aser the pressure loss warning:Load conditionDriving distance possi-
ble in emergency modePartially laden50 miles (80 km)Fully laden19 miles (30 km)
The driving distance possible in emergency mode
may vary depending on the driving style. Observe the maximum permissible speed of 50 mph
(80 km/h).
If a tire has gone Oat and cannot be replaced with
an MOExtended tire, you can use a standard tire
as a temporary measure.
TIREFIT kit storage location
The TIREFIT kit is located under the trunk Ooor.

Depending on the model, the TIREFIT kit may also
be located in other places under the trunk Ooor.
Using the TIREFIT kit
Requirements:
= Tire sealant bottle and tire inOator compressor
are ready for use (  page 354).
= TIREFIT sticker is present.
= Gloves are present.
You can use TIREFIT tire sealant to seal perfora-
tion damage of up to 0.16 in (4 mm), particularly
in the tire contact surface. You can use TIREFIT in
outside temperatures down to -4 °F (-20 °C).&WARNING Risk of accident when using
tire sealant
The tire sealant may be unable to seal the tire
properly, especially in the following cases:
= There are large cuts or punctures in the
tire (larger than damage previously men-
tioned)
= The wheel rims have been damaged
= Aser journeys with very low tire pressure
or with Oat tires
Do not continue driving.Consult a qualiNed specialist workshop.&WARNING Risk of injury and poisoning
from tire sealant
The tire sealant is harmful and causes irrita-
tion. Do not allow it to come into contact with
the skin, eyes or clothing, and do not swallow
it. Do not inhale tire sealant fumes. Keep the
tire sealant away from children.
If you come into contact with the tire sealant,
observe the following:Rinse oM the tire sealant from your skin
immediately using water.If tire sealant gets into your eyes, thor- oughly rinse out the eyes using clean
water.If tire sealant has been swallowed, imme-
diately rinse out the mouth thoroughly
and drink plenty of water. Do not induce
vomiting and seek medical attention
immediately.Change out of any clothes contaminated
with tire sealant immediately.If allergic reactions occur, seek medical
attention immediately.Breakdown assistance355

*NOTE Overheating due to the tire inOation
compressor running too longDo not run the tire inOation compressor
for longer than ten minutes without inter- ruption.
Comply with the manufacturer\bs safety notes on
the sticker regarding the tire inOation compressor.
Have the tire sealant bottle replaced in a qualiNed
specialist workshop every Nve years.
Do not remove any foreign objects that have
entered the tire.APx part 1 of the TIREFIT sticker to the
instrument cluster within the driver\bs Neld of
vision.APx part 2 of the TIREFIT sticker near the
valve on the wheel with the defective tire.Pull the plug 4 with the cable and hose 5
out of the tire inOation compressor housing.Push the plug of hose 5 into Oange 6 of tire
sealant bottle 1 until the plug engages.Place the tire sealant bottle 1 head down-
wards into recess 2 of the tire inOation com-
pressor.Remove the valve cap from valve 7 on the
faulty tire.Screw the Nlling hose 8 onto the valve 7.Insert plug 4 into a 12!

Switch on the tire inOation compressor using
the On/OM switch 3.
The tire is inOated. First, tire sealant is pum-
ped into the tire. The pressure may brieOy rise
to approximately 500 kPa (5.0 bar/73 psi).
Do not switch oM the tire inOation compressor
during this phase!
Allow the tire inOation compressor to run for a
maximum of ten minutes.
The tire should then have attained a tire pres-
sure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/29 psi).
If tire sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
aMected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera-
ble to use clean water.
If you get tire sealant on your clothing, have it cleaned as soon as possible with perchloroethy- lene.
If, aser ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has not been attained:
Switch oM the tire inOation compressor.Unscrew the Nlling hose from the valve of the
defective tire.Please note that tire sealant may leak out when
you unscrew the Nlling hose.Drive forwards or in reverse very slowly for
approximately 33 s (10 m).Pump up the tire again.
Aser a maximum of ten minutes, the tire pres-
sure must be at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/
29 psi).&WARNING Risk of accident due to the
speciNed tire pressure not being achieved
If the speciNed tire pressure is not achieved
aser the speciNed time, the tire is too badly
damaged. The tire sealant cannot repair the
tire in this instance.
The braking characteristics as well as the driv- ing characteristics may be greatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.Consult a qualiNed specialist workshop.
If, aser ten minutes, a tire pressure of 200 kPa
(2.0 bar/29 psi) has been attained:
Switch oM the tire inOation compressor.Unscrew the Nlling hose from the valve of the
defective tire.&WARNING Risk of accident from driving
with sealed tires
A tire temporarily sealed with tire sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is not suitable for higher speeds.
Adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.Do not exceed the maximum speed limit with a tire that has been repaired using
tire sealant.Observe the maximum permissible speed of
50 mph (80 km/h) for a tire sealed with tire
sealant.*NOTE Staining caused by leaking tire seal-
ant
Aser use, excess tire sealant may leak out
from the Nlling hose.
Breakdown assistance357

Therefore, place the Nlling hose in the
plastic bag that contained the TIREFIT
kit.+ENVIRONMENTAL NOTE Environmental
pollution caused by environmentally irre-
sponsible disposal
Tire sealant contains pollutants.
Have the tire sealant bottle disposed of
professionally, e.g. at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.Stow the tire sealant bottle and the tire inOa-
tion compressor.Pull away immediately.Stop driving aser approximately ten minutes
and check the tire pressure using the tire
inOation compressor.
The tire pressure must now be at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi).&WARNING Risk of accident due to the
speciNed tire pressure not being attained
If the speciNed tire pressure is not reached,
the tire is too badly damaged. The tire sealant
cannot repair the tire in this instance.
The braking and driving characteristics may begreatly impaired.
Do not continue driving.Consult a qualiNed specialist workshop.
In cases such as the one mentioned above, con-
tact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Or call1-800-FOR-MERCedes (in the USA) or
1-800-387-0100 (in Canada).
Correct the tire pressure if it is still at least
130 kPa (1.3 bar/19 psi). For values, see tire
and load data plate or tire pressure table on the driver-side B!
