(USA only).
If ap ressure loss warning message appears
in the multifunction display: R
observe the instructions in the displa ym es-
sages ( Y
page 211).R
check the tire for damage R
if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
approximately 50 miles (80 km) when the vehi-
cle is partiall yl aden. When the vehicle is fully
laden it is approximately 19 miles (30 km).
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon: R
vehicle speed R
road condition R
outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving conditions
or maneuvers, or it can be increased through a
moderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is
counted from the moment the tire pressure loss
warning appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed am aximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
When replacing one or all tires, please observe
the following specifications for your vehicle's
tires: R
size R
type and R
the "MOExtended" marking
If at ire has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with aM OExtended tire, as tandard tire may be
used as at emporary measure. Make sure that
you use the proper size and type (summer or
winter tire).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are
not equipped with aT IREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefore recommended that you additionally
equip your vehicle with aT IREFIT kit if you mount
tires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.
winter tires. AT IREFIT kit may be obtained from
aq ualified specialist workshop.
Important safety notes
G WARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving
characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner- ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is ar isk of an accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximum speed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving maneuvers,
and driving over obstacles (curbs, potholes,
off-road). This applies in particular to al aden
vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if: R
you hear banging noises. R
the vehicle starts to shake. R
you see smoke and smell rubber. R
ESP ®
is intervenin gc onstantly.R
there are tears in the sidewalls of the tire.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
wheel rims checked at aq ualified specialist
workshop with regard to their further use. The
defective tire must be replaced in every case.
TIREFIT kit
Important safety notes TIREFIT is at ire sealant.
Only valid for USA: You can use TIREFIT to seal
punctures of up to 0.16 in (4 mm), particularly
those in the tire tread. You can use TIREFIT at
outside temperatures down to

inhale TIREFIT fumes .K eep tir es ealant away
fro mc hildren. There is ar isk of injury.
If you com ei nt oc ontac tw ith the tir es ealant,
observe the following: R
Rinse off the tir es ealant fro my our skin
immediately with water. R
If the tir es ealant comes int oc ontac tw ith
your eyes, immediately rinse the mt hor-
oughly with clean water. R
If tir es ealant is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mout ho ut thoroughly and drink

and seek medical attention immediately. R
Immediately change out of clothing which
has com ei nt oc ontac tw ith tir es ealant.R
If an allergic reaction occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.
! Residue fro mt he tir es ealant may com eo ut
of the filler hose after use. This could cause
stains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
bag which contained the TIREFIT kit.
H Environmental note

professionally, e.g. at aq ualified specialist
workshop.

Snow chains
G WARNING
If snow chains are mounted on the rear
wheels, the snow chains could cause abrasion
to the vehicle body or to chassis components.
This could cause damage to the vehicle or the
tires. There is ar isk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations: R
never mount snow chains on the rear
wheels R
only mount snow chains in pairs on the
fron tw heels.
! On some tire sizes there is not enough space
for snow chains. To avoid damage to the vehi-
cle or tires, observe the "Wheel and tire com-
binations" section under "Tires and wheels".
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that have
been specially approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz ,ora re of ac orresponding
standard of quality. For more information,
please contact aq ualified specialist workshop.
If you inten dtom ount snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind: R
Sno wc hains may not be mounted on all
wheel/tire combinations. Permissible wheel-
tire combinations ( Y
page 312).R
Only use snow chains when driving on roads
completely covered by snow. Remove the
snow chains as soon as possible when you
come to ar oad that is not snow-covered.R
Local regulations may restrict the use of snow
chains. Observe the appropriate regulations if
you wish to mount snow chains. R
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h). R
Never use Parking Pilot when snow chains are
installed ( Y
page 165). You may wish to deactivat eE SP ®
when pulling
away with snow chains installed .Y ou can
thereby allow the wheels to spin in ac ontrolled
manner, achieving an increased driving force

Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks: R
the tires may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase. R
the tires may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire

the driving characteristics, as well as steer-

Important notes on tire pressure
G WARNING
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly ,t he
wheel ,v alve or tire may be damaged. Tire
pressure that is too low may resul tina tire
blow-out. There is ar isk of an accident.R
Check the tire for foreign objects. R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unabl etor ectify the damage, con-
tact aq ualifie ds pecialist workshop.
G WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessorie so nto tire
valves ,t he tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tire pres-
sure monitors keep the tire valve open. This
can also resul tint ire pressure loss. There is a
risk of an accident.
Only screw the standard valve cap or other
valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for
you rv ehicle onto the tire valve.
Use as uitable pressure gauge to check the tire
pressure. The outer appearance of at ire does
not permit any reliable conclusion abou tt he tire
pressure. On vehicle se quipped with the elec-
tronic tire pressure monitor, the tire pressure
can be checked in the on-board computer. The tire temperature and pressure increase
when the vehicle is in motion. This is dependent
on the driving speed and the load.
Therefore, you shoul do nly correct tire pres-
sures when the tires are cold.
The tires are cold: R
if the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three hours
and R
if the vehicle has been driven less than 1m ile
(1.6 km)
The tire temperature changes depending on the
outsid et emperature ,t he vehicle speed and the
tire load .Ift he tire temperature changes by
18 ‡( 10 †), the tire pressure changes by
approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/1.5 psi) .T ake
this into account when checking the pressure of
warm tires. Only correct the tire pressure if it is
too low for the current operating conditions. If
you check the tire pressure when the tires are
warm, the resulting valu ew il lbeh ighe rt han if
the tires were cold. This is normal. Do not
reduce the tire pressure to the valu es pecified
for cold tires. The tire pressure would otherwise
be too low.
Observe the recommended tire pressures for
cold tires: R
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the B-pilla ront he driver's sideR
in the tire pressure table in the fuel fille rf lap
( Y

Underinflated or overinflated tires
Underinflated tires
G WARNING
Tires with pressure that is too low can over-
heat and burst as ac onsequence. In addition,
they also suffer from excessive and/or irreg-
ula rw ear, which can severel yi mpair the brak-
ing propertie sa nd the driving characteristics.
There is ar isk of an accident.
Avoid tire pressures that are too low in all the
tires, including the spare wheel.
