Where will I find...?
217Fire extinguisher*
i Have the fire extinguisher refilled after
each use and checked every one or two
years. Otherwise, it may fail in an emer-
gency.
Observe the legal requirements in all coun-
tries concerned.
The fire extinguisher is located in the stowage
compartment underneath the driver's seat.1 Handle
X To open: pull handle 1 up.
X Fold the cover forwards.
X Remove the fire extinguisher.
Vehicle tool kit, jack and spare
wheel*
The vehicle tool kit is located in a stowage
compartment underneath the boot floor.
G Risk of injury
The jack is designed only to raise and hold
the vehicle for a short time while a wheel
is being changed.
If you are carrying out work on the vehicle,
you must use stands.
Make sure that the jack is placed on a firm,
non-slip and level surface. Do not use
wooden blocks or similar objects as a jack
underlay. Otherwise, the jack will not be
able to achieve its load-bearing capacity
due to the restricted height.
Do not start the engine at any time while a
wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise
the vehicle as described, it could slip off the
jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door
or the boot lid is opened or closed) and you
could be seriously injured.
i When using the jack, you should also
observe the safety notes in the "Flat tyre"
section ( Y page 276). X
Fold up the boot floor and hook the retainer
into the top of the boot frame.

Changing the bulbs
271Changing the bulbs
Notes on changing bulbs
Bulbs and lamps are an important aspect of
vehicle safety. You must therefore make sure
that all bulbs function correctly at all times. 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.
Otherwise, 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.
H7 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 chang-
ing 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
contacts 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
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist 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 systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
G
Risk of injury
HiP bulbs are pressurised and may explode
when you change them, thereby injuring
you.
Do not change HiP bulbs yourself; have
them replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary special-
ist 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 systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop. !
Do not change the LEDs yourself. You
could otherwise damage the LEDs or parts
of the vehicle. OverviewPractical advice

Flat tyre
277Do not start the engine at any time while
the wheel is being changed.
Do not lie under the vehicle when it is being
supported by the jack. If you do not raise
the vehicle as described, it could slip off the
jack (e.g. if the engine is started or a door
or the boot lid are opened or closed) and
you could be seriously injured.
Using the TIREFIT kit
You can use the TIREFIT kit to seal small
punctures, particularly those in the tyre tread.
You can use TIREFIT in outdoor temperatures
down to -20 °C. G
Risk of accident
In the following situations, your safety is at
particular risk and TIREFIT is unable to pro-
vide breakdown assistance:
R if there are cuts or punctures in the tyre
greater than 4 mm
R if the wheel rim is damaged
R if you have driven at very low tyre pres-
sures or on a flat tyre
Do not drive any further. Consult a qualified
specialist workshop which has the neces- sary 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 systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
X Do not remove any foreign objects which
have penetrated the tyre, e.g. screws or
nails.
X Remove TIREFIT, the accompanying "max.
80 km/h" sticker and the electric air pump
from the stowage well underneath the boot
floor ( Y page 217).1
Driver's field of vision sticker
2 Wheel sticker X
Affix part 1 of the sticker within the driv-
er's field of vision.
X Affix part 2 of the sticker near the valve
on the wheel with the defective tyre.
G Risk of injury
TIREFIT must not come into contact with
your skin, eyes or clothing.
R If TIREFIT comes into contact with your
eyes or skin, immediately rinse thor-
oughly with clean water.
R Change out of clothing which has come
into contact with TIREFIT immediately.
R If an allergic reaction occurs, consult a
doctor immediately.
Keep TIREFIT away from children.
R If TIREFIT is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly with
water and drink plenty 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.

Brake fluid
Over a period of time, the brake fluid absorbs
moisture from the air; this lowers its boiling
point. G
Risk of accident
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too
low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake
system when the brakes are applied hard
(e.g. when driving downhill). This would
impair braking efficiency. Have the brake fluid renewed every two
years with a brake fluid that has been
approved by Mercedes-Benz and have this
confirmed in the Service Booklet.
i There is usually a notice in the engine
compartment

to remind you when the next
brake fluid change is due. Windscreen washer system
The washer fluid reservoir holds approxi-
mately 4.5 litres; on vehicles with the head-
lamp cleaning system* it holds 7 litres.
The headlamp cleaning system*
and the
windscreen washer system are both supplied
from the washer fluid reservoir.
