electronic tyre pressure monitor, the tyre
pressure can be checked using the on-board
computer.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1.6 km
Depending on the ambient temperature, the
vehicle speed and the load on the tyres, the
tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure
changes by approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi) per 10 †. Take this into account
when checking the pressure of warm tyres.
Only correct the tyre pressure if it is too low
for the current operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have a negative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus driving safety (e.g. aqua-
planing)
The tyre pressure values given for low loads
are minimum values which offer you good ride
comfort characteristics.
However, you can also use the values given
for higher loads. These are permissible and
will not adversely affect the running of the
vehicle. Tyre pressure loss warning system
General notes While the vehicle is in motion, the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
tyre pressure using the rotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in a tyre. If the speed of rotation of a wheel changes as a result of aloss of pressure, a corresponding warning message will appear in the multifunction dis-
play.
You can recognise the tyre pressure loss
warning in the multifunction display in the
Serv.

information on displaying this message can
be found under "Restarting the tyre pressure loss warning system" (Y page 358).
Important safety notes The tyre pressure warning system does not
warn you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure.
Observe the notes on the recommended tyre
pressure (Y page 356).
The tyre pressure loss warning does not
replace the need to regularly check the tyre
pressures. An even loss of pressure on sev-
eral tyres at the same time cannot be detec-
ted by the tyre pressure loss warning system. The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering manoeuvres.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are fitted to your vehicle's
tyres.
R road conditions are wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel.
R you adopt a very sporty driving style (cor-
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
R you are towing a very heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with a heavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof). Tyre pressure

Observe the notes on operating mobile

The following aerial positions may be used for the correct installation of RF transmitters: Approved aerial positions
:
Front roof area
; Rear roof area
= Rear wing
i On vehicles with panorama sliding sun-
roof, fitting an aerial to the front or rear roof
area is not permitted.
On the rear wing, it is recommended that
you position the aerial on the side of the
vehicle closest to the centre of the road.
Use Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
(Road Vehicles – "EMC guidelines for fitting
aftermarket radio frequency transmitting
equipment") when retrofitting RF (radio fre-
quency) transmitters. Comply with the legal
requirements for add-on parts.
If your vehicle has fittings for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or aerial
connections intended for use with the basic
wiring. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's additional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or aerial positions must be approved by Mercedes-Benz. The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at
the base of the aerial must not exceed the
following values: Waveband Maximum
transmission output Short wave
3 - 54 MHz 100 W
4 m waveband
74 - 88 MHz 30 W
2 m waveband
144 - 174 MHz 50 W
Trunked radio/Tetra
380 - 460 MHz 10 W
70 cm waveband
400 - 460 MHz 35 W
2G/3G/4G mobile com-
munications generations 10 W
The following can be used in the vehicle with-
out restrictions:
R RF transmitters with a maximum transmis-
sion output of up to 100 mW
R RF transmitters with transmission frequen-
cies in the range 380-410 MHz and a max-imum transmission output of 2 W (Tetra)
R Mobile telephones (2G/3G/4G)
There are no restrictions when positioning the aerial on the outside of the vehicle for the fol-
lowing wavebands:
R Trunked radio/Tetra
R 70 cm waveband
