Tire inflation pressure monitor
The tire inflation pressure, as selected by the driver, is
monitored in all four wheels on the ground. A warning
is issued to the driver in the case of a decrease in the
inflation pressure in one or more of the tires.Inquiry of present tire inflation pressure
Turn electronic key in starter switch to position 1 or 2.
Press è or ÿ button on the multifunction
steering wheel until the display for trip and main
odometer appears, see page 124.
Press the j or k button repeatedly until the tire
inflation pressure monitor is displayed.
The present tire inflation pressure for each wheel is
displayed in multifunction display.
Wa r n i n g !
The tire inflation pressure monitor does not
indicate a warning for wrongly selected inflation
pressures. Always adjust tire inflation pressure
according to the label affixed on the fuel filler flap.
See page 348 for tire inflation pressure.The tire inflation pressure monitor is not able to
issue a warning due to a sudden loss of pressure
(e.g. tire puncture caused by a foreign object). In
this case bring vehicle to a halt by carefully
applying the service brakes and avoiding abrupt
steering maneuvers.

cluster displayPractical hints Car care Index Notes:
Following a tire inflation pressure reactivation process
the real tire inflation pressures are displayed only after
a few minutes travel time.
Possible differences between readings of a tire pressure
gauge of an air hose, e.g. gas station equipment, and the
vehicle’s multifunction display can occur. The vehicle’s
multifunction display of the tire inflation pressure
monitor is a more precise reading.Activation of tire inflation pressure monitor
Activation of tire inflation pressure monitor is
necessary if tire inf lation pressure is being changed,
wheels or tires are replaced, or new wheels are installed
on the vehicle.
Tire inf lation pressure should be checked and corrected
according to the label affixed inside the fuel filler flap.
For a detailed description, refer to page 348.
Turn electronic key in starter switch to position 2 (the
engine must not be running).
Notes:
When checking the tire inflation pressure of the road
wheels, also check the spare tire.
The tire inflation pressure of the spare wheel, mounted
or not mounted, is not monitored by the tire inflation
pressure monitor.
See page 338 for location of the spare wheel, and
page 348 for tire inflation pressure.

Press è or ÿ button on the multifunction
steering wheel until the display for trip and main
odometer appears, see page 124.
Press the j or k button repeatedly until the tire
inflation pressure monitor appears.
Press and hold button J on the instrument cluster
until the message “MONITOR CURRENT TYRE
PRESSURES?” appears. Release button J.Press and hold button J on the instrument cluster
again until the message “TYRE PRESS. CONTROL –
ACTIVATED!” appears.
The tire inflation pressure monitor is now activated and
monitors the presently selected tire pressure for all four
wheels on the ground.
Repeat above steps if the multifunction display shows
the message “TYRE PRESS. CONTROL – REACTIVATE!”.
A multifunction display showing the message
“TYREPRESSURE–CHECKTYRES!” indicates a much
too low tire inflation pressure. Check and correct tire
inflation pressure again on all wheels, and repeat the
tire inflation pressure monitor activation steps listed
above.

cluster displayPractical hints Car care Index Notes:
To ensure proper functioning of the tire inflation
pressure monitor, the tire inflation pressure should be
checked and corrected according to the label affixed
inside the fuel filler flap. For a detailed description,
refer to page 348.
The message “TYRE PRESS. CONTROL – REACTIVATE”
appears if the tire inflation pressure shows an increase
of 4.4 psi (0.3 bar) or more. Reactivate the tire inflation
pressure monitor.
The tire inflation pressure monitor only functions on
wheels equipped with the proper electronic sensors.
Inquire at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center about
retrofitting other than original Mercedes-Benz wheels
with electronic sensors.Transporting a deflated road wheel in the vehicle, e.g.
after having a flat, the tire inflation pressure monitor
should only be activated once the flat tire and rim are
removed from the vehicle. Otherwise the monitor
displays the message “TYRE PRESS. CONTROL –
CURRENTLY INACTIVE”.
To prevent possible damage to the electronic sensors,
have tire changes only performed at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
For malfunction and warning messages, see page 303.

Drive sensibly – Save Fuel
Fuel consumption, to a great extent, depends on driving
habits and operating conditions.
To save fuel you should:
•keep tires at the recommended inflation pressures,
•remove unnecessary loads,
•remove roof rack when not in use,
•allow engine to warm up under low load use,
•avoid frequent acceleration and deceleration,
•have all maintenance work performed at regular
intervals by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Fuel consumption is also increased by driving in cold
weather, in stop-and-go traffic, on short trips and in hilly
country.Drinking and driving
Pedals
Wa r n i n g !
Drinking or taking drugs and driving can be a very
dangerous combination. Even a small amount of
alcohol or drugs can affect your reflexes,
perceptions and judgement.The possibility of a serious or even fatal accident is
sharply increased when you drink or take drugs
and drive.Please don’t drink or take drugs and drive or allow
anyone to drive after drinking or taking drugs.Wa r n i n g !
Keep driver’s foot area clear at all times. Objects
stored in this area may impair pedal movement.
