! Observe the following points when towing
with atow rope:
R Secure the tow rope on the same side on
both vehicles.
R Make sure that the tow rope is not longer
than legallyp ermitted. Mark the tow rope in
the middle, e.g. with awhite cloth
(30 x30c m).This will make other road
users aware that avehicle is being towed.
R Only secure the tow cable to the towing
eyes or, if available, to the trailer tow hitch.
R Observe the brake lamps of the towing
vehicle while driving. Always maintain adis-
tance adistance so that the tow rope does
not sag.
R Do not use steel cables or chains to tow
your vehicle. You could otherwise damage
the vehicle.
! Do not use the trailer tow hitch for recovery
or towing. Do not use the towing eye for
recovery. This could damage the vehicle. If in doubt, have the vehicle recovered using a
crane.
! Pull away smoothly when towing away or
tow-starting avehicle. If the tractive power is
too high, the vehicles could be damaged.
! Shift the automatic transmission to
Nand
do not open the driver's or front passenger's
door during towing. The automatic transmis-
sion may otherwise shift to position P,which
could damage the transmission.
! You may tow the vehicle for
amaximum of
50km.At owing speed of 50 km/h must not
be exceeded.
For towing distances over 50 km, the entire
vehicle must be lifted up and transported.
Observe the legal requirements for the relevant countries when towing.
It is better to have the vehicle transported than
to have it towed.
If the vehicle has suffered transmission damage,
have it transported on atransporter or trailer.
Vehicles with automatic transmission: when
towing avehicle, the automatic transmission
must be in position N.Ifthe automatic trans-
mission cannot be shifted to position N,have the vehicle transported on
atransporter or
trailer.
The battery must be connected and charged.
Otherwise, you:
R cannot turn the key to position 2in the igni-
tion lock
R cannot release the electric parking brake
R cannot shift the transmission to position Non
vehicles with automatic transmission
Deactivate the automatic locking feature before towing the vehicle (Y page 88). You could oth-
erwise be locked out when pushing or towing
the vehicle.
Deactivate tow-away protection before the vehi- cle is towed away (Y page 79). Fitting/removing the towing eye
Fitting the towing eye The mountings for the removable towing eyes
are located in the bumpers. They are at the rear
and at the front,u nder covers:.

X Screw in the towing eye clockwise as far as it
will go and tighten it.
Vehicles with atrailer tow hitch do not have a
bracket at the back for the screw-in towing eye. Connect the towbar to the trailer tow hitch

accordingly. When the outside temperature
falls below 10 †, use M+S tyres.
i Different driving styles may lead to higher
levels of tyre wear, meanin gthe tyres may
wear down to the minimum tyre tread depth

G
WARNING
Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflation pres-
sure loss. As aresult, you could lose control of
your vehicle. There is arisk of accident.
Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.
Check wheels and tyres for damage at least
onc eam onth. Check wheels and tyres after
driving off-road or on rough roads. Damaged
wheels can cause aloss of tyre pressure. Pay
particular attention to damage such as:
R cuts in the tyres
R punctures
R tears in the tyres
R bulges on the tyres
R deformation or severe corrosion on wheels
Regularly chec kthe tyre tread depth and the
condition of the tread across the whole width of
the tyre (Y page 354).Ifnecessary, turn the
fron twheels to full lock in order to inspec tthe
inne rside of the tyre surface.
All wheels must have avalve cap to protect the
valve against dirt and moisture. Do not fit any-
thin gontot he valve other than the standard
valve cap or other valve caps approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.Don ot fit any other
valve caps or systems ,e.g. tyre pressure moni-
torin gsystems.
Regularly chec kthe pressure of all the tyres,
particularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tyre
pressure as necessary (Y page 356).
Observe the notes on the emergency spare
wheel (Y page 367). The servic
elife of tyres depends on various fac-
tors ,includin gthe following:
R driving style
R tyre pressure

WARNING
Insufficien ttyre tread will reduce tyre trac-
tion .The tyre is no longer able to dissipate
water. This means that on wet road surfaces, the risk of aquaplaning increases, in particularwhere speed is not adapted to suit the driving
conditions. There is arisk of accident.
If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit differen tlevels of wear at differ-
ent location sonthe tyre tread. Thus, you
should regularly chec kthe tread depth and
the condition of the tread across the entire
width of all tyres.
Minimum tyre tread depth for:
R summer tyres: 3mm
R M+S tyres: 4mm
For safety reasons ,replace the tyres before
the legally prescribed limit for the minimum
tyre tread depth is reached. Selecting, fitting and replacing tyres
G
WARNING
Exceeding the stated tyre load-bearing capa-
city and the approved maximum speed could
lead to tyre damage or the tyre bursting. There is ar isk of accident.
Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes
approved for your vehicle model. Observe the
tyre load ratin gand speed ratin grequired for
your vehicle.
Pay special attention to country-specific
requirements for tyre approval. These require-
ment scan stipulate aspecific tyre type for your
vehicle. Furthermore, the use of certain tyre
types in certain regions and areas of operation
can be highly beneficial. You can find further 354

General notes While the vehicle is in motion
,the tyre pressure
loss warning system monitors the set tyre pres-
sure using the rotational speed of the wheels.
This enables the system to detect significant
pressure loss in atyre. If the speed of rotation of

Information on the message display can be
found in the "Restarting the tyre pressure loss
warning system" section (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 several tyres at the
same time cannot be detected by the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tyre
is penetrated by aforeign object .Inthe event of
as udden 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 avery sporty driving style (corner-
