Risk of accident
Replac edamaged or corroded wheel bolts.
Never oil or grease wheel bolts. This could
cause the bolts to loosen in the wheel hub. G
Risk of accident
If aw heel hub thread is damaged, you must
not drive the vehicle any further. Consult a
qualified specialist workshop whic hhas the
necessary specialis tknowledge and tool sto

re commends that you use aMercedes-Benz
Ser vice Centre or Service 24h for thi spur-
pose .Inp articular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop. G
Risk of accident
Only use wheel bolts that have been designed
for the wheel and the vehicle. For safety rea-
sons, Mercedes -Benz recommends that you
only use wheel bolts which have been
approved for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and the
respective wheel. Other wheel bolts could
work loose or damage the brak esystem.
Do not tighten the whee lbolts completely

to continue driving the vehicle even when one
or more tyres los eall air pressure.
The MOExtended run-flat system may only be
used in conjunction with the activated tyre
pressure loss warnin gsystem or with the acti-
vated tyre pressure monitor.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode depends on the
load in the vehicle. It is 80 km if the vehicle
is partially laden and 30 km if fully laden.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the moment the tyre pressure los swarning
appears in the multifunction displ ay.
Yo um ust not exceed amaximum spee dof
80 km/h. G
Ris
kofa ccident
The handling characteristics of your vehicle
deteriorate in run-flat mode, for example:
R when cornering
R when braking
R when accelerating rapidly
Adapt your driving style accordingly and avoid
sudden changes in direction and sudden
acceleration, as well as driving over obstacles
(i.e. kerbs, potholes), and driving off-road.
This is particularly the case when the vehicle
is heavily laden.
The maximum permissible distance that can
be driven in run-flat mode depends to alarge
exten tonthe loads placed on the vehicle. It
can be shorter due to high speeds, aheavy
load, sudden changes in direction, the road
surface condition, outside temperature, etc.,
or further if you driv ecarefully and conserva-
tively. 284

Risk of inju
ry
Fo rs afety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. Thes ebatteries provide
increased impact protection to prevent vehi-
cle occupant sfrom suffering aci dburns
should the battery be damaged in the event
of an accident.
To prevent acid burns, observe the following
safety notes when handling batteries:
R do not lean over the battery.
R do not place any metal objects on abattery.
Otherwise ,you coul dcause ashort circuit
and the battery's gas mixtur ecould ignite.
R mak esure that you do not create an elec-
trostatic charge, e.g. by wearing synthetic
clothing or as aresult of friction on fabrics.
Therefore, you should not pull or slide the
batter yover carpets or other synthetic
materials.
R neve rtouch the battery first. To discharge
ap ossible electrostatic charge, step out of
the vehicle first and touc hthe bodywork.
R do not wipe the battery usin gacloth. The
battery may explode as aresult of electro-
static charge or due to flying sparks.
! Switc hoff th eengine and remove the key
before disconnectin gthe termi nalclamps
from the battery .Onvehicles with KEY-
LE SS -GO, make sure that the ignition is
switched off. Check that all the indicator
lamps in the instrument cluste rare off.
Otherwise, yo umay destroy electronic
components, such as the alternator.
i Remove the key if you park the vehicle
and do not require any electrical consum-
ers. The vehicle will then use very little
energy, thus conserving battery power.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you do not
carr yout work on batteries yourself, e.g.
removing, charging or replacing. Always have this work performed at
aqualified specialist
workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Ben zService
Cent re. Installation location of the battery

kofi njury
Only charge the batter yinawell-ventilated

can escape and generate minor explosions.
This could injure you and other persons or
cause damage to the paintwork or acid cor-
rosion on the vehicle.
You can obtain information about battery
chargers which allow the battery to be
charged while still installed from aqualified
specialist workshop ,e.g. aM ercedes-Benz
