GWARNING
A flat tire severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.
There is a risk of accident.
Tires without run-flat characteristics:
Rdo not drive with a flat tire.
Rimmediately replace the flat tire with your
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel, or
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Tires with run-flat characteristics:
Rpay attention to the information and warn-
ing notices on MOExtended tires (tires with
run-flat characteristics).
Accessories that are not approved for your vehi-cle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being used cor-rectly can impair the operating safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approvedaccessories, visit a qualified specialist work-shop and inquire about:
Rsuitability
Rlegal stipulations
Rfactory recommendations
Further information regarding wheels and tirescan be found under "Wheel/tire combinations"(Ypage 315).
You can ask for information regarding permittedwheel/tire combinations at an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
Information on tire pressure can be found:
Ron the Tire and Loading Information placardon the B-pillar on the driver's side(Ypage 301)
Rin the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap(Ypage 141)
Runder "Tire pressure" (Ypage 293)
Operation
Information on driving
Check the tire pressure when the vehicle isheavily laden and adjust prior to a trip.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noisesand unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-ing to one side. This may indicate that thewheels or tires are damaged. If you suspect thata tire is defective, reduce your speed immedi-ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible tocheck the wheels and tires for damage. Hiddentire damage could also be causing the unusualhandling characteristics. If you find no signs ofdamage, have the tires and wheels checked at aqualified specialist workshop.
When parking your vehicle, make sure that thetires do not get deformed by the curb or otherobstacles. If they cannot be avoided, drive overobstacles such as curbs slowly and at an obtuseangle. Otherwise, you may damage the wheelsor tires.
Regular checking of wheels and tires
GWARNING
Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pres-
sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of
your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.
Check the tires regularly for signs of damage
and replace any damaged tires immediately.

with run-flat characteristics)" section(Ypage 275).
ROnly mount tires of the correct size onto thewheels.
RBreak in new tires at moderate speeds for thefirst 60 miles(100 km). The new tires onlyreach their full performance after this dis-tance.
RDo not drive with tires which have too littletread depth, as this significantly reduces thetraction on wet roads (hydroplaning).
RReplace the tires after six years at the latest,regardless of wear.
Observe the notes on the emergency sparewheel (Ypage 315).
MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat
properties)
With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat char-acteristics), you can continue to drive your vehi-cle even if there is a total loss of pressure in oneor more tires.
MOExtended tires may only be used in conjunc-tion with an activated tire pressure loss warningsystem (Canada only) or tire pressure monitor(USA only) and only on wheels specifically tes-ted by Mercedes-Benz.
Notes on driving with MOExtended tires with aflat tire (Ypage 275).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires arenot equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. Itis therefore recommended that you additionallyequip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you mounttires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be obtained froma qualified specialist workshop.
Winter operation
General notes
Have your vehicle winter-proofed at a qualifiedspecialist workshop at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing a wheel"section (Ypage 310).
Driving with summer tires
At temperatures below 45 ‡(+7 †), summertires lose elasticity and therefore traction andbraking power. Change the tires on your vehicleto M+S tires. Using summer tires at very coldtemperatures could cause cracks to form,thereby damaging the tires permanently.Mercedes-Benz cannot accept responsibility forthis type of damage.
GWARNING
Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pres-
sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of
your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.
Check the tires regularly for signs of damage
and replace any damaged tires immediately.
M+S tires
GWARNING
M+S tires with a tire tread depth of less than

In accordance with European standard EN16942, you can find the following compatibilitylabels for fuel:
ROn the instruction label on the fuel filler flap ofyour vehicle
ROn the fuel pump or pump nozzle for yourvehicle, throughout Europe
CFor gasoline with a maximum ethanol con-tent of 5 vol. %
DFor gasoline with a maximum ethanol con-tent of 10 vol. %
!Damage to the emissions control systemcaused by fuel with too high a sulfur content
ROnly use sulfur-free fuel (sulfur content ≤10 ppm).
Unpleasant odors may be produced if the avail-able fuel is not sufficiently low in sulfur.
E 400 4MATIC:observe the information on sul-fur content on the instruction label on the fuelfiller flap.
All models:the recommended octane numberfor your vehicle can be found on the instructionlabel on the fuel filler flap.
E 300, E 350, E 350 4MATIC:only refuel usingsuper unleaded gasoline with at least 98 RON, ifyou wish to achieve maximum engine output.
Alternatively, you can also refuel using premiumgrade gasoline with at least 95 RON.
All models:as a temporary measure, if the rec-ommended fuel is not available, you may alsouse unleaded regular gasoline with at least:
RE 180, E 250, E 300 e:93 RON
RAll other models:91 RON
This may reduce engine performance andincrease fuel consumption.
Never refuel using gasoline with a lower RON.

Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!Only add coolant that has been premixedwith the desired antifreeze protection. Youcould otherwise damage the engine.
You can find additional notes on the coolant inthe following places:
Rin the Mercedes-Benz Specifications forService Products, MB BeVo 310.1
-on the Internet athttp://bevo.mercedes-benz.com
-on the Mercedes-Benz BeVo app
Ra qualified specialized workshop
!Always use a suitable coolant mixture, evenin countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is notsufficiently protected from corrosion andoverheating.
iHave the coolant regularly replaced at aqualified specialist workshop and the replace-ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser-vice products when handling coolant(Ypage 319).
The coolant is a mixture of water and corrosioninhibitor/antifreeze concentrate. It performsthe following tasks:
Ranti-corrosion protection
Rantifreeze protection
Rraising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to-35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the coolantduring operation is approximately 266 ‡(130 †).
The antifreeze concentrate/corrosion inhibitorconcentration in the engine cooling systemshould:
Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the enginecooling system against freezing down toapproximately -35 ‡ (-37 †)
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection downto -49‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not bedissipated as effectively
Mercedes-Benz recommends a coolant or cor-rosion inhibitor/antifreeze concentrate inaccordance withMB Specifications for Service Products 310.1.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is filledwith a coolant mixture that ensures adequateantifreeze and anti-corrosion protection.
iThe coolant is checked with every mainte-nance interval at a qualified specialist work-shop.
