View through the camera
The area behind the vehicle is displayed as a
mirror image, as in the rear-view mirror. G
Ris
kofa ccident
The reversing camera is only an aid and may
display obstacles in a distorted or incorrect
manner, or may no teven display them at all.
The reversing camera does not relieve you of
the responsibility to pay attention. The cam-
era cannot show objects:
R very near to the rear bumper
R below the rear bumper
R in the area immediately above the boot lid
handle
You are always responsible for safety and
must continue to pay attention to youri mme-
diate surroundings when parking and
manoeuvring. This applies to the areas
behind, in front of and next to the vehicle. You
could otherwise endange ryourself and oth-
ers. G
Risk of accident
Under the following circumstances, the
reversing camera will not function, or function
in a limited manner:
R if the boot lid is open
R in heavy rain, snow or fog
R at night or in very dark places
R if the camera is exposed to very bright light
R if the area is lit by fluorescent light (the dis-
play may flicker)
R if there is a sudden change in temperature,
e.g. when driving into a heated garage in
winter
R if the camera lens is dirty or obstructed
R if the rear of your vehicle is damaged. In this
event, have the camera position and setting
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use
a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this
purpose.
Do not use the reversing camera in these
types of situation. You could otherwise injure others or damage objects and your vehicle
while you are parking.
Activating the reversing camera X
Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock.
X Make sure that the "Reversing camera"
function is selected in COMAND APS (see
the separate operating instructions for
COMAND APS).
X Engage reverse gear.
The area behind the vehicle is shown in the
COMAND APS display. ATTENTION ASSIST
Important safety notes ATTENTION ASSIST helps you during long,
monotonous journeys such as on motorways
and trunk roads. It is active in the 80 km/h
to 180 km/h range.
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects typical indica-
tors of fatigue or increasing lapses in con-
centration on the part of the driver, it sug-
gests taking a break.
G
Risk of accident
ATTENTION ASSIST is only an aid and may
detect your tiredness or lapses in concentra-
tion too late or not at all. It is not asubstitute
for a well rested and attentive driver.
Fatigue may cause you to recognise hazard-
ous situations too late, misjudge a situation
or react slower. For this reason, make sure
you feel rested before you begin driving and
during your journey. Always take breaks in
good time and regularly, especially during
long journeys. Otherwise, you may fail to rec-
ognise dangers in time, cause an acciden tand
injure yoursel fand others. Driving systems

R
clean cloth covers with a microfibre cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Rub
carefully and always wipe entire sea tsec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines. Leave
the seat to dry afterwards. Cleaning
results depend on the type of dirt and
how long it has been there.
R clean Alcantara® covers with a damp
cloth. Make sure you wipe entire seat
sections to avoid leaving visible lines.
i Note that regular care is essential to
ensure that the appearance and comfort of
the covers is retained over time.
Cleaning the seat belts X
Use clean, lukewarm water and soap solu-
tion.
! Do not clean the seat belts using chemical
cleaning agents .Do not dry the seatbelts
at temperatures above 80 †orby exposing
them to direc tsunlight. 276
CareMaintenance and care

Tyre tread
G
Ris
kofa ccident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres should be replaced when the
tread depth is 4mmorless as they no lon-
ger provide adequate grip.
R the tread on a tyre may not wear evenly.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the fron twheels to full lock in order to
inspect the tyre tread more easily.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an accident due to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Notes on selecting, fitting and replac-
ing tyres
R Only fit tyres and wheels of the same type
and make.
R Only fit tyres of the correct size onto the
wheels.
R After fittingn ew tyres, run them in at mod-
erate speeds for the first 100 km, as they
only reach their full performance after this
distance.
R Do not drive with tyres which have too little
tread depth, as this significantly reduces
the traction on wet roads (aquaplaning).
R Replace the tyres after six years at the lat-
est, regardless of wear. This also applies to
the emergency spare wheel/spare wheel. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) allow you to continue driving the vehicle even when one or more tyres lose all
air pressure.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with the activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or with the activated tyre
pressure monitor and on wheels specifically
tested by Mercedes-Benz.
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT
kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-
flat properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can
obtain a TIREFIT kit from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, for example.
You will find notes on driving with a flat tyre
in the "Breakdown assistance" section
(Y page 289). Winter operation
Please bear the following in mind
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing a wheel"
section (Y page 309). Driving with summer tyres
At temperatures below +7 †, summer tyres
lose elasticity and therefore traction and
braking power –change the tyres on your
vehicle to M+S tyres. Using summer tyres at
very cold temperatures could cause tears to
form, thereby damaging them permanently.
Mercedes-Ben zcannot accept responsibility
for this type of damage. M+S tyres
At temperatures below +7 †, use winter tyres
or all-season tyres. Both types of tyre are
identified by the M+S marking. Winter operation

You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 305).
i Notes on the vehicle equipmen t–always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at a given
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can obtain
aT IREFIT kit from aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre, for example.
