Closing the bonnet X
Lower the bonnet and let it fall from aheight
of approximately 20 cm.
X Check that the bonnet has engaged properly.
If the bonnet can be raised slightly, it is not
properly engaged. Open it again and close it
with alittle more force. Radiator
Do not cover up the radiator. Do not use thermal mats, insect protection covers or anything sim-
ilar. Doing so can cause the Onboard Diagnos-

Important safety notes G
WARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment coul dbevery hot, e.g. the engine, the
radiator and parts of the exhaust system.
There is arisk of injury when accessing the
engine compartment.
As far as possible ,allow the engine to cool
dow nand only touch the components descri-
bed in the following. G
WARNING
The cooling system is pressurised, particu-
larl yw hen the engine is warm. If you open the
cap, you coul dbescalded if hot coolant
sprays out. There is arisk of injury. Let the engine cool dow
nbefore you open the
cap. Wea rglove sand eye protection. Open
the cap slowly to release the pressure. G
WARNING
If windscreen washer concentrate comes into contact with hot components of the engine or
the exhaust system, it can ignite. There is a
risk of fire and injury.
Make sure the windscreen washer concen-
trate does not come into contact with the filler neck.
Checking the coolan tlevel X
Park the vehicl eonalevelsurface.
Only check the coolant leve lifthe vehicl eis
on aleve lsurface and the engine has cooled
down.
X Turn the key to position 2in the ignition lock
(Y pag e145).
or
X On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, press the
Start/Stop button twice (Y page145).
X Check the coolant temperature display in the
instrument cluster (Y page233).
The coolant temperature must be below
70 †.
X Turn the key to position 0(Y pag e145).

Turn cap :further anti-clockwise and
remove it.
If the coolant is at the level of marker bar =
in the filler neck when cold, there is enough
coolant in coolant expansion tank ;.
If the coolant level is approximately 1.5 cm
above marker bar =in the filler neck when
warm, there is enough coolant in coolant
expansion tank ;.
X If necessary, top up with coolant that has
been tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
X Replace cap :and turn it clockwise as far as
it will go.

Topping up the windscreen washer sys- tem X
To open: pull cap:upwards by the tab and
open.
X Top up with the premixed washer fluid.
X To close: press cap :ontot he filler neck

Resetting the ASSYST PLUS service
interva ldisplay !
If the ASSYST PLUS service interval display
has been inadvertently reset, this setting can
be corrected at aqualified specialist work-
shop.
Have service work carried out as described in the Servic eBooklet .This may otherwise lead
to increased wear and damage to the major
assemblies or the vehicle.
Aq ualified specialist workshop, e.g. a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre, will reset the
ASSYST PLUS service interval display after the
service work has been carried out. You can also
obtain further information on maintenance
work, for example.
Special service requirements The prescribed service interval is based on nor-
mal operation of the vehicle. Servic ework will
need to be performed more often if the vehicle is
operated under arduous conditions or increased loads, for example:
R regular city driving with frequent intermediate
stops
R if the vehicle is primarily used to travel short
distances
R for frequent operation in mountainous terrain
or on poor road surfaces
R if the engine is often left idling for long periods
In these or similar operating conditions, have,
for example, the air filter, engine oil and oil filter changed more frequently. The tyres must be
checked more frequently if the vehicle is oper-
ated under increased loads. Further informationcan be obtained at aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre. Driving abroad An extensive Mercedes-Benz Servic
enetwor kis

Do not scrub.
Do not touch the surfaces or protective films
with hard objects, e.g. aring or ice scraper.
You could otherwise scratch or damage the
surfaces and protective film.
! Do not park up the vehicle for an extended
period straight after cleaning it, particularly
after having cleaned the wheels with wheel
cleaner. Wheel cleaners could cause
increased corrosion of the brake discs and

ressure loss warning system
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
aw heel changes as aresult of aloss of pressure,
ac orresponding warning message will appear in
the multifunction display.
You can recognise the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing by the Run Flat Indicator active

Restart with OK Restart with OK message which appears in
the Service
Service menu of the multifunction display.
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-
ing at high speeds or driving with high rates of
acceleration).
R you are towing avery heavy or large trailer. R
you are driving with aheavy load (in the vehi-

tance" section (Y page 337). Information on
driving with MOExtended tyres in the event of a flat tyre can be found under "Breakdown assis-
tance" (Y page 337).
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel: in
the event of aflat tyre, the emergency spare
wheel is fitted according to the description
under "Fitting awheel" (Y page 362). Interchanging the wheels
G
WARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tyres have different dimensions. The wheel brakes or suspension components may also be damaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions. !
On vehicles fitted with
atyre pressure mon-
itor, electronic componentsa re located in the
wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve, as this could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging the front and rear wheels of dif-
fering dimensions can render the general oper-
ating permit invalid.
Observe the instructionsa nd safety notes in the
"Fitting awheel" section (Y page 362).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres typi-
cally wear more on the shoulders and the rear
tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 to 10,000 km depending on the
degree of tyre wear. Ensure the direction of
rotation is maintained.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is
interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and, if
necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system (Y page 358) or the tyre pressure
monitor (Y page 360). Direction of rotation
Tyres with aspecified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk of aqua-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tyres are fitted corresponding to the direc-
tion of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Store wheels in acool, dry and preferably dark
place if they are not being used. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Changing
