Note s on cleaning and car eA voiding vehicle damage
Wheels/rims Usewate r and acid-free wheel cleaners.
RDo not use acidic wheel cleaners toremo vebrake dust.
This could damage wheel bolts and brake components.
RTo avoid cor rosion of the brake discs and brake pads,
drive theve hicle for a few minutes af ter cleaning before
parking it. The brake discs and brake pads warm up and
dry out.
Wi ndo ws
Cleanthe windo wsonthe inside and outside using a damp
clo thand cleaning agents recommended byMercedes-Benz. Do not use dry clo
ths or abrasive or sol vent-based cleaning
agents toclean the inside of windo ws.
Wi per blades
Fold out the wiper blades and clean them using a damp clo th.D o not clean the wiper blades too of ten.
Ex terior lighting
Cleanthe windo wswith a wet sponge and mild cleaning
agent, e.g. car sha mpoo. Only use cleaning agents or cleaning clo
thsth at are suitable
fo r plast ic covers.
Sensors Cleanthe sensors in the front and rear bumper and in the
ra diator grille with a soft clo thand car shampoo. When using a high-pressure cleaner, mainta
in a minimum dis‐
ta nce of 11.8 in (30 cm).

Maintenance and care
Page 360 of 498
The system checks the tire pressure and the tire
te mp erature of the tires fitted totheve hicle by
means of a tire pressure sensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,
are automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven.
The tire pressure and the tire temp erature
appear in the multifunction display
(
→page 202).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:
RVi a display messages (→page 425).
RViath e0077 warning lamp in the instrument
clus ter (→page 459).
It is the driver's responsibility toset the tire
pressure tothere commended cold tire pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressure
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forth e
cur rent operating situation must firs t be taught-
in to the tire pressure monitoring sy stem. In most cases,
the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce
va lues af teryo u ha vechanged the tire pressure.
Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐
ues byrestarting the tire pressure mon

sy stem manually (→page 359).
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
RIf th e tire pressure is set incor rectly.
RIfth ere is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
ex ample, byafo re ign object penetrating the
tire.
RIf th ere is a malfunction caused byano ther

Observethefo llowing when selecting, ins talling
and replacing tires:
ROnly use tires and wheels of the same type
(summer tires, winter tires, MOEx tended
tires) and the same make.
ROnly ins tall wheels of the same size on one
axle (left and right).
It is only permissible toins tall a dif fere nt
wheel size in theeve nt of a flat tire in order
to drive tothe specialist workshop.
ROnly ins tall tires of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
RVe hicles with a tire pressure monitoring
sy stem: all mounte d wheels must be equip‐
ped with functioning sensors forth e tire
pressure monitoring sy stem.
RAt temp eratures below 45 °F (7 °C), use win‐
te r tires or all-season tires mar ked M+S for
all wheels.
Wi nter tires bearing the004D snowflake sym‐
bol in addition tothe M+S marking pr ovide
th e best possible grip in wintry road condi‐

RFo r M+S tires, only use tires with the same
tread.
RObser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tires ins talled.
If th is is below theve hicle's maximum speed,
th is must be indicated in an appropriate label
in the driver's field of vision.
RRu n in new tires at moderate speeds forth e
fi rs t 60 miles (100 km).
RRe place the tires af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear.
RWhen replacing with tires that do not fea‐
ture run-flat characteristics: vehicles with
MOExtended tires are not equipped with a
TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip theve hicle
with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with tires
