Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the rear bench seat/rear seat and seat
backrest are not engaged they could fold for- wards, e.g. when braking suddenly or in the
event of an accident.
R The vehicle occupant would thereby be
pushed into the seat belt by the rear bench
seat/rear seat or by the seat backrest. The
seat belt cannot protect as intended and
could result in additional injury.
R Objects or loads in the boot cannot be
restrained by the seat backrest.
This poses an increased risk of injury.
Before every trip, make sure that the seat
backrests and the rear bench seat/rear seat
are engaged before every trip.
! When folding the rear seat backrest for-
wards, ensure that there are no items lying on the seat cushions. These items could other-
wise be damaged or could themselves dam-
age the rear seats.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 296).
The left-hand and right-hand rear seat backrests can be folded down separately to increase the
boot capacity. 298

Vehicle tool kit
General notes The towing eye is located in the stowage space
under the boot floor.
On vehicles with MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics), the towing eye is in a
bracket under the parcel shelf.
Apart from some country-specific variants, vehi-
cles are not equipped with tyre-changing tools.
If the vehicle is equipped with a tyre-change tool
kit, it is located in a bag in the boot.
Some tools for changing a tyre are specific to
the vehicle. For more information on which tyre- changing tools are required and approved for
performing a tyre change on your vehicle, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
Necessary tyre-changing tools may include, for
example:
R Jack
R Wheel chock
R Wheel wrench
R Ratchet ring spanner
R Centring pin
i The jack weighs approximately 2.1 kg.
The maximum load-bearing capacity of the
jack can be found on the adhesive label on the jack.
The jack is maintenance-free. In case of a
malfunction, please contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.

Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with: R MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) (Y page 326)
Vehicle preparation is not necessary on vehi- cles with MOExtended tyres.
R a TIREFIT kit (Y page 325)
R an emergency spare wheel (certain countries
only) (Y page 356)
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop.
Vehicles with a Mercedes-Benz emergency call
system that are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit:
in the event of a flat tyre, contact the Customer
Assistance Centre for the Mercedes-Benz emer- gency call system (Y page 304).

conditions when doing so.
X Close the driver's door.
X Place the warning triangle a suitable distance
away (Y page 324). Observe legal require-
ments. Vehicles with MOExtended tyres
(tyres with run-flat characteristics)
General notes With MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics), you can continue to drive your vehi-
cle even if there is a total loss of air in one or
more tyres. The affected tyre must not show any clearly visible damage.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
"MOExtended" marking that appears on the tyre
sidewall. You will find this marking next to the
tyre size designation, the load-bearing capacity
and the speed index.
MOExtended tyres may be used only in conjunc- tion with an activated tyre pressure loss warning system or tyre pressure monitor.
If a tyre pressure loss warning message
appears on the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages (Y page 265)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
approximately 80 km when the vehicle is parti-
ally laden and approximately 30 km when the
vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible in run-flat mode depends on the:
R vehicle speed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving conditions/ manoeuvres, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode iscounted from the moment the tyre pressure loss
warning appears on the multifunction display. 326
