Notes on changing bulbs
i If you need assistance in changing the
bulbs, contact a qualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends
that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure Changing bulbs

that these function correctly at all times.
Have the headlamp settings checked regu-
larly. Only use the types of bulbs specified
here. If the new bulb still does not light up,
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Do not touch the glass tube of new bulbs with
your bare hands. Even minor contamination
can burn into the glass surface and reduce
the service life of the bulbs. Always use a lint-
free cloth or only touch the base of the bulb
when fitting. G
Risk of injury
Bulbs and lamps can be very hot. You should
therefore allow them to cool down before you
change them. Otherwise, you could be burned
if you touch them.
Keep bulbs out of the reach of children. Oth-
erwise, they could damage them, for example,
and injure themselves.
Never use a bulb which has been dropped.
Such a bulb may explode and injure you. Halogen bulbs are pressurised and could
explode when you change them, particularly
if they are very hot. You should therefore wear
eye protection and gloves when you are
changing them.
G
Risk of injury
Xenon bulbs carry a high voltage. You could
get an electric shock and be seriously or even
fatally injured if you touch the electric con-
tacts on xenon bulbs. Therefore, never
remove the cover from xenon bulbs.
Do not change xenon bulbs yourself but have
them replaced at a qualified specialist work-
shop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop. Overview: changing bulbs/bulb types

G
Risk of accident
The windscreen will no longer be wiped prop-
erly if the wiper blades are worn. This could
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. Replace
the wiper blades twice a year, ideally in spring
and autumn. G
Risk of accident
The wiper arms could start moving and cause
an injury if you leave the windscreen wipers
switched on.
Remove the key from the ignition lock before
replacing the wiper blades.
! To avoid damaging the windscreen wiper
blades, make sure that you touch only the
wiper arm of the windscreen wiper. Removing

You can use TIREFIT at outside temperatures
down to -20 †. G
Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and tyre sealant is unable to
provide breakdown assistance if:
R there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm
R the wheel rim is damaged
R you have driven at very low tyre pressures
or on a flat tyre
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary Flat tyre

of water.
R Do not induce vomiting. Consult a doctor
immediately.
R Do not inhale TIREFIT fumes.
i If TIREFIT leaks out, allow it to dry. It can
then be removed like a layer of film.
If you get TIREFIT on your clothing, have it
cleaned as soon as possible with perchloro-
ethylene. G
Risk of injury
Comply with the manufacturer's safety
instructions shown on the sticker on the elec-
tric air pump.
Your vehicle may be equipped with one of two
different air pumps. Version 1 can be identi-

Remove the cap from valve Eon the faulty
tyre. X
Make sure pressure release screw Fon
pressure gauge Gis fully closed.
X Screw filler hose Donto valve E.
X Insert plug Ainto the socket of the ciga-
rette lighter* (Y page 282) or into a 12 V
power socket in your vehicle (Y page 282).
X Turn the key to position 2(Y page 182) in
the ignition lock.
X Press on/off switch ?on the electric air
pump to I.
The electric air pump is switched on. The
tyre is inflated.
i First, TIREFIT is pumped into the tyre. The
pressure can briefly rise to around 5 bar.
Do not switch off the electric pump dur-
ing this phase.
X Let the electric pump run for five minutes.
The tyre should then have a pressure of at
least 1.8 bar. !
Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than eight minutes at a time without
a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not reached
after five minutes:
X Switch off and disconnect the electric air
pump and drive the vehicle forwards or
backwards approximately 10 m.
This distributes the TIREFIT more evenly.
X Pump up the tyre again. G
Risk of accident
If a pressure of 1.8 bar is not achieved after
five minutes, the tyre is too badly damaged.
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
When a tyre pressure of at least 1.8 bar
is reached:
X Press on/off switch ?on the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit from the wheel.
! After use, excess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may cause stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag in which the TIREFIT kit was contained.
X Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
pump and the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump. Flat tyre

X If the tyre pressure is still at least 1.3 bar,
correct it (see fuel filler flap for values).
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the electric air pump.
To reduce the tyre pressure: open pres-
sure release screw Fon pressure
gauge G.
X Drive to the nearest workshop and have the
tyre changed there.
X Have the TIREFIT kit replaced as soon as
possible at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximum speed of
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" label must be affixed in
