Risk of accident
The vehicle is braked when the HOL Dfunction
or DISTRONIC PLUS is activated. Therefore,
deactivate HOLD and DISTRONIC PLUS if the
vehicle is to be towed.
It is better to have the vehicle transported
than to have it towed.
! Whe ntowing, pull away slowly and
smoothly. If the tractive power is too high,
the vehicles coul dbedamaged.
! Do not use the towing eye for recovery,
as this could damage the vehicle. If in
doubt, recover the vehicle with acrane.
! Youm ay tow the vehicle for amaximum
of 50 km. Atowing speed of 50 km /h must
no tbee xceeded.
For towing distances over 50 km, the entire
vehicl emust be lifted up and transported.
! On vehicles with KEYLESS-GO, use the
key instead of the Start/Stop button .Turn
the key to position 2in the ignition lock and
shif tthe automatic transmission to N.
Then, turn the key back to 0and leave it in
the ignitio nlock.
! Only secur ethe tow cable or towing bar
to the towing eyes. You could otherwise
damage the vehicle.
Please note:
R vehicles with an automatic transmission
must not be tow-started.
R if you ar etowing the vehicle over alonger
distance, this must be done with the rear
axle raised.
R the ignition must be switched off if you are
towin gthe vehicle with the rea raxle raised. Intervention by ESP
®
could otherwis edam-
age the brake system.
R if the vehicle has suffered transmission
damage, only tow it with the propelle rshaft
disconnected.
R if the engin edoes not start, tr yjump-start-
ing it (Y page 289).
R if it is not possible to jump-start the vehicle,
have it towed to the nearest qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre.
R the automatic transmission must be in
position Nwhen the vehicle is being towed.
Before towing the vehicle, mak esure that the
battery is connected and charged. You will
otherwis ebeunable to switch on the ignition
or shift the transmissio ntoNin vehicles with
an automatic transmission.
i Switch off the automatic locking feature
before the vehicle is towed (Y page 208).
You could otherwise be locked out when
pushing or towing the vehicle. Fitting the towing eye
Vehicles with atrailer to whitch: if you intend
to use the vehicle for towing, fold out the ball
coupling and connect the towbar to it
(Y page 186).
X Take the towing eye and the wheel wrench
from the vehicle tool kit (Y page 274).
The mountings for the removable towing eyes
are located in the bumpers. They are at the
front and at the rear ,under the covers. Towing and tow-starting

X Shift the transmission to position N. Transporting the vehicle
The towing eyes or trailer tow hitch can be
used to pull the vehicle onto atrailer or trans-
porter if yo uwish to transport it.
X Vehicles with manu altransmission:
shift to neutral.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission:
turn the key to position 2(Y page 135) in

The applicable value for the maximum load on
the rea raxle during trailer towing is state don
the tyre pressure information label on the
insid eofy our vehicle' sfuel filler flap.
The load condition "partially laden" or "fully
laden" is defined in the table by the differing
number of passengers and amount of lug-
gage. The actual number of seats may vary
from this –more information can be found on
the vehicle' sregistra tion document.
If no other data is stated, the tyr epressures
specifie donthe fuel filler fla papply for all
tyres approved for this vehicle. If
at yre size precede satyre pressure, the tyre
pressure specification that follows is only
valid for that tyre size. Instead of the complete tyre size, it may be
that only the rim diameter is stated ,e.g.
R16. Rim diameter
:is part of the tyre size and
can be found on the tyre sidewall. G
Risk of accident
Tyre pressure that is either too hig hortoo low
has anegativ eeffect on the vehicle's driving
safety ,which coul dlead you to cause an acci-
dent. Therefore, you should regularly check
the pressur eofall the tyres, particularly prior
to long trips, and correc tthe pressure as nec-
essary.
To test tyr epressure, us easuitable pressure
gauge. The outer appearance of atyre does
not permit any reliabl econclusion about the
tyr ep ressure. G
Ris
kofa ccident
Do not fit anything else to the tyre valve other
than the standard valve cap. In particular, ret-
rofitted tyre pressure monitors which are
screwed on to the valve may overload it and
cause it to fail. Due to their design, the valve
is kept open continuously ,which ma ylead to
air loss. G
Risk of accident
Should the tyr epressure dro prepeatedly:
R check the tyr efor foreign bodies.
R chec kwhether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
R make sur ethat only avalve cap approved
by Mercedes-Benz has been fitte donthe

Tyr
ep ressures that are too lo whave anega-
tiv ee ffect on vehicl esafety, which could lead
to your causing an accident.
If possible, you should only correc ttyre pres-
sures when the tyres are cold. Depending on
the ambien ttemperature, the speed you are
driving at and the load on the tyres, the tyre
temperatur eand thus the tyre pressure may
chang ebyapproximately 10 kPa (0. 1bar,
1.5 psi) per 10 †. Take this int oaccount
whe ncheckin gthe pressur eofwarm tyres
and only correct it if it is too low for the cur-
rent operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the servic elife of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have anegativ eeffect on handling charac-
teristi csand thus the driving safet y(e.g. by
causing aquapla ning)
i The tyr epressure values given for low
load sare minimum values which offe ryou
good rid ecomfor tcharacteristics.
However ,you can also use the values given
for higher loads. These ar epermissible and
will not adversely affect the running of the
vehicle. H
Environmenta
lnote
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days. Tyr
epressure loss warning
Important safety notes Whil
ethe vehicle is in motion, the tyr epres-
sure loss warning system monitors th eset
tyr ep ressure using th erotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect
significant pressure loss in atyre. If the speed
of rotation of awheel changes as aresult of
al oss of pressure, acorrespondin gwarning
message will appea rinthe multifunction dis-
play. G
Risk of accident
The tyr epressure loss warning system does
not warn you of an incorrectly se ttyre pres-
sure. The table on the insid eofthe fuel filler
fla pw ill help you decide whether the tyre
pressures should be corrected.
The tyre pressure loss warnin gsystem does
not replace the need to regularly check your
vehicle's tyre pressures, since an even loss of
pressure on several tyres at the same time
cannot be detecte dbythe tyr epressure loss
warning system.
Th et yre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by aforeign objec t.
In the event of asudden loss of pressure, bring
the vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Do
not make any sudden steering movements
when doing so.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delayed if:
R snow chains are fitted to your vehicle's
tyres.
R road conditions are wintry.
R you are driving on sand or gravel.
R you adopt avery sporty driving style (cor-
nering at high speeds or driving with high
rates of acceleration).
R you are towin gavery heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with aheavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Resta rting the ty re pressur eloss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warnin
gsystem
if you have:
R changed the tyre pressure
R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, consult the table of tyre
pressures on the insid eofthe fuel filler flap
