G
Risk of accident
Clear all windows of ice or snow before setting
off. Otherwise, impaired visibility could
endanger you and others.
i The rear window heating has ahigh cur-
rent draw. You should therefore switch it
off as soon as the window is clear, as it only
switches off automatically after several
minutes.
i If the battery voltage is too low, the rear
window heating may switch off.

tion mode
You can deactivate the flow of fresh air if
unpleasant odours are enteringt he vehicle
from outside. The air already inside the vehi-
cle will then be recirculated. G
Risk of accident
Only switch over to air-recirculation mode
briefly at low outside temperatures. Other-
wise, the windows could mist up, thus impair-
ing visibility and endangering yourself and
others. This may prevent you from observing
the traffic conditions, thereby causing an
accident.

General notes
G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
when closing the sliding sunroof. If there is a
risk of entrapment, release the switch and
push it briefly in any direction to stop the slid-
ing sunroof. G
Risk of injury
Children could injure themselves if they oper-
ate the sliding sunroof.
Never leave children unsupervised in the vehi-
cle. Always take the key with you when leaving
the vehicle, even if you are only leaving it for
as hort time. G
Risk of injury
The glass in the panorama sunroof could
break in an accident .Ifyou are not wearing a
seat belt, there is arisk that you could be
thrown through the opening in the event of the
vehicle overturning. Therefore, alway swear a
seat belt to reduce the risk of injuries.
! Only open the panorama sliding sunroof
if it is free of snow and ice. Otherwise, mal-
functions may occur. Do not allow anything to protrude from the
sliding sunroof. Otherwise, the seals could
be damaged.
i When the sliding sunroof is open, apart
from the normal airflow noises, resonance
noises may also occur. They are caused by
minor pressure fluctuation sinthe vehicle
interior. Change the position of the sliding
sunroof or open aside window slightly to
reduce or eliminate these noises.

Opening and closing the soft top
You can open or close the soft top either
when the vehicle is stationary or when driving
up to aspeed of 40 m/h.
If there is astron ghead wind, it may not be
possible to close the soft top fully. In this case, reduce speed or stop in order to close
the soft top fully.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only open or close the soft
top when the vehicle is stationary. G
Risk of accident and injury
Only drive with the soft top fully open or
closed.
If the soft top does not open or close fully, the
soft-top hydraulics are depressurised and the
soft top is lowered:
R after about seven minutes if the ignition is
switched on
R immediately if the ignition is switched off
Aw arning tones ounds shortly beforehand.
The Top being opened message appears in
the multifunction display.
Lock the soft top again before driving on. Oth-
erwise, the unlocked soft top could open dur-
ing the journey and cause you to lose control
of your vehicle. You or other persons could be
injured as aresult.
! Never sit on the soft-top compartment
cover and do not store any heavy objects
on it. You will otherwise damage the soft
top and soft-top compartment cover of the
vehicle.
! The soft top swings upwards when it is
opened or closed. In order to avoid dam-
aging the soft top or other parts of the vehi-
cle when opening or closing the soft top,
observe the following:
R there must be sufficient clearance above
the vehicle.
R the boot separator must be closed and
must not be pushed upwards by the load.
R there must not be any object sonthe
soft-top compartment cover. 160

The tyre pressure loss warning system 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 detected by the tyre pressure loss
warning system.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of asudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the
tyre is penetrated by aforeign object.
In the event of asudden loss of pressure, bring
the vehicle to ahalt by braking carefully. Do
not make any sudden steerin gmovements
when doing so.
The function of the tyre pressure loss warning
system is limited or delaye dif:
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 towing avery heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with aheavy load (in the
vehicle or on the roof).
Restarting the tyrep ressureloss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warning system
if you have:
R

R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, consult the table of tyre
pressures on the inside of the fuel filler flap
to ensure that the tyre pressure in all four
tyres is set correctly for the respective
operating conditions.
X Observe the notes in the section on tyre
pressures (Y page 186). G
Risk of accident
The tyre pressure loss warning system can
only give reliable warnings if you have set the
correc ttyre pressure.
If an incorrect tyre pressure is set, these
incorrect values will be monitored.
At yre with insufficien tpressure results in
vehicle instability when driving, thus increas-
ing the risk of an accident.

The tyre pressure values stored at the last

G
Risk of accident
Interchange the fron tand rear wheels only if
they have the same dimensions :for example
size, offset ,etc.
After awheel is changed, have the tightening
torque checked at aspecialist workshop that
has the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety or
on safety-related systems must be carried out
at aq ualified specialist workshop.
The wheels could work loose if they are not
tightened to atorque of 130 Nm.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use wheel bolts of the
correc tsize which have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The wear patterns on the fronta nd rear tyres
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear
patter nhas formed on the tyres. Frontt yres
typically wear more on the shoulders and the
rear tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size fronta nd
rear wheels you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 km to 10,00 0kmdepending on
the degree of tyre wear. Do not reverse the
direction of tyre rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time awheel
is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and,
if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system*. Winter driving
Points to remember
Have your vehicle winterproofed at aqualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre, at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing awheel"
section (Y page 189). Winter tyres
Use winter tyres at temperatures below
+7 ˚C and in wintry road conditions. Only
winter tyres displaying the 004Dsnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S markin gpro-
vide optimum grip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tyres will allow the ABS and ESP
driving systems to function optimally in win-
ter, as these tyres have been designed spe-
cifically for driving on snow.
Use winter tyres of the same make and tread
on all wheels to maintain safe handling char-
acteristics. G
Risk of accident
Winter tyres with atread depth of less than
4mmm ust be replaced immediately. They are
no longer suitable for winter use and can no
longer provide sufficient grip. This could
cause you to lose control of your vehicle and
cause an accident.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the winter tyres you have
fitted. If you fit winter tyres which have a
lower maximum permissible speed than that
of the vehicle, affix an appropriate warning
sign in the driver's field of vision. This can be
obtained at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. from aMercedes-Benz Servic eCentre.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
using permanen tSpeedtronic 37
to the maxi-
mum permissible speed for the winter tyres
(Y page 135).
