If the vehicl ewas parked for longer than
20 minutes ,the following message appears:
Tyre pressure swill be displayed

If an emergency spare whee lisfitted, for afew
minutes the system may continue to show the
tyre pressure of the whee lthat has been
removed .Ifthis occurs, note that the valu edis-
played for the position where the spare whee lis
fitted is not the same as the current tyre pres-
sure of the emergency spare wheel.
Warning message softhe tyre pressure
monitor If the tyre pressure monitor detects
apressure
loss in one or more tyres, awarning message is
shown in the multifunction display.T he yellow
tyre pressure warning lamp then lights up.
R If the Please correct tyre pressure
Please correct tyre pressure
message appears in the multifunction display,
the tyre pressure in at least one tyre is too
low.T he tyre pressure must be corrected
when the opportunity arises.
R If the Check Check tyre(s)
tyre(s) message appears in the
multifunction display,t he tyre pressure in at least one tyre has dropped significantly. The
tyres must be checked.
R If the Warning tyre defect Warning tyre defect message
appears in the multifunction display,t he tyre
pressure in at least one tyre has dropped sud- denly .The tyres must be checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(Y page2 77).
If the whee lpositions on the vehicl eare inter-
changed ,the tyre pressures may be displayed
for the wrong positions for ashort time. After a
few minutes of driving, this is rectified and the
tyre pressures are displayed for the correct
positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamp sgoout. The monitor uses the cur-
rently set tyre pressures as the reference values
for monitoring. In most cases, the tyre pressure monitor willa utomatically detect the new refer-
ence values after you have changed the tyre
pressure. However, you can alsos et reference
values manually as described here. The tyre
pressure monitor then monitors the new tyre
pressure values.
X Use the table on the insid eofthe fuel filler flap
to ensure that the tyre pressure is set cor-
rectly in all four tyres for the current operating
conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on tyre
pressures (Y page356).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in the
ignitio nlock (Y page145).

If you are driving with the emergenc yspare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably .Only restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor when
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with atyrep ressur emonitor: all fit-
ted wheels must be equipped with functioning
sensors. Wheel-tyr
ecombination
You can ask for information regarding permitted wheel-tyre combinations at aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre.
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle. These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE =Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz.C ertain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with aload, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components.T his
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tyres, wheels or accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any qualified specialist workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz,s ince previ-
ous damage cannot alway sbedetected on
retreaded tyres. As aresult, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit used tyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for acertain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfor tisonp oor road surfaces. Roll comfort
and suspension comfor tare reduced and the
risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
The recommended tyre pressures can be found
in the tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure, see
(Y page 356). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold. 366

Important safety notes 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-
trated oes not come into contact with the filler
neck.
! Only use washer fluid that is suitable for
plastic lamp lenses, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB
WinterFit. Unsuitable washer fluid could dam-
age the plastic lenses of the headlamps.
! Only the washer fluids SummerFit and Win-
terFit can be mixed. Otherwise, the spraying
nozzles could become blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionised water as the
level sensor may be triggered erroneously.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor- tant safety notes on service products
(Y page 371).
At temperatures above freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB SummerFit.
Mix 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
X Fill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correc tmixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.
i Add washer fluid concentrate, e.g. MB Sum-
merFit or MB WinterFit, to the washer fluid all
