X
Press the 0064button.
The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored. Interchanging the wheels
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).

Trailer hitch Check lock mech. mes-
sage until the ball coupling is engaged.
X Remove the protective cap from the ball
coupling and store it in asafe place.
X Make sure that the ball of the ball coupling
is clean and that, depending on the trailer
specification, it is greased or dry (without
grease) when used. Notes on towing
atrailer G
Risk of accident
When reversin gthe vehicle towards the
trailer, make sure there is nobody between
the trailer and the vehicle.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If
you do not couple the trailer to the towing
vehicle correctly, the trailer could become
detached.
Make sure that the following values are not
exceeded:
R the permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
R the permissible trailer load R
the permissible rear axle load of the towing
vehicle
R the maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight of both the towing vehicle and the
trailer
You will find the applicable permissible val-
ues, which must not be exceeded, in the vehi-
cle documents.
You will find the values approved by the man-
ufacturer on the vehicle identification plates
and those for the towing vehicle in the "Tech-
nical data" section.
i When towing atrailer, set the tyre pres-
sure on the rear axle of the towing vehicle
for am aximum load; see the tyre pressure
table in the fuel filler flap.
You will find installation dimensions and loads
in the "Technical data" section
(Y page 303).
The maximum drawbar load of the trailer
drawbar on the ball coupling is 75 kg. How-
ever, the actual noseweight must not exceed
the value given on the trailer tow hitch and
trailer identification plates. The lowest weight
applies.
! Use anoseweight as close as possible to
the maximum permissible noseweight. Do
not use anoseweight of less than 50 kg,
otherwise the trailer may come loose.
Bear in mind that the payloa dand the rear
axle load are reduced by the actual nose-
weight.
Please notet hat when towing atrailer, PARK-
TRONIC* (Y page 140) and Parking Guid-
ance* (Y page 143) are only availabl ewith
limitations ,ornot at all.
i The height of the ball coupling changes
with the load of the vehicle. If necessary,
use atrailer with aheight-adjustable trailer
drawbar. 194

When
atyre pressure of at leas t1.8 bar
is reached:
X Press on/off switch 008Aon the electric air
pump to 0.
The electric air pump is switched off.
X Remove the TIREFIT kit from the wheel.
! After use,e xcess TIREFIT may run out of
the filler hose. This may caus estains.
Therefore, place the filler hose in the plastic
which contained the TIREFIT kit.
X Stow away the TIREFIT kit, the electric air
pump and the warning triangle.
X Pull away immediately.
X Stop after driving for approximately ten
minutes and check the tyre pressure with
the electric air pump. G
Risk of accident
If the tyre pressure is now lower than 1.3 bar,
the tyre is too badly damaged. Do not drive
any further. Consult aqualified specialist
worksho pwhich has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required .Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use aMercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carrie dout at aqualified specialist workshop. X
If the tyre pressure is still at least 1.3 bar,
correct it (see fuel filler flap for values).
To increase the tyre pressure: switch on
the electric air pump. To reduce the tyre pressure:
press pres-
sure release button 0070next to pressure
gauge 0071.
X Drive to the neares tworksho pand have the
tyre changed there.
X Have the TIREFIT kit replaced as soon as
possible at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. at aMercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of accident
Do not exceed the maximu mspee dof
80 km/h.
The "max. 80 km/h" label must be affixe din
the driver's fiel dofvision.
The vehicle's handling characteristics may be
affected. H
Environmental note
Have the use dTIREFIT kit disposed of profes-
sionally ,e.g. at aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
X Have the TIREFIT kit replaced every four
years at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. aMercedes-Benz Service Centre. Changing
awheel and fitting the
spare wheel* G
Risk of accident
The whee ldimensions and tyre size of the
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel* may dif-
fer from those of the damaged wheel.
You rvehicle's handling characteristics will
change when a"Minispare" emergency spare
wheel* is fitted. Adapt you rstyle of driving
accordingly.
The "Minispare" emergency spare wheel*
may only be use dfor as hort time. Do not
exceed the maximu mspee dof80k m/h and
do not deactivate ESP ®
.
Never drive the vehicl ewith more than one
"Minispare" emergency spare wheel* fitted. 268
