Cleaning the steering wheel and gear or
selector lever X
Thoroughly wipe with a damp cloth or use
leather care agents that have been recom-
mended and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning wooden trim and trim ele-
ments !
Do not use solvent-based cleaning agents
such as tar remover, wheel cleaners, polishes or waxes. There is otherwise a risk of damag-
ing the surface.
X Wipe the wooden trim and trim elements with
a damp, lint-free cloth, e.g. a microfibre cloth.
X Heavy soiling: use car care and cleaning
products recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz.
Cleaning the seat covers General notes
! Do not use a microfibre cloth to clean covers
made out of real leather, artificial leather or
DINAMICA. If used frequently, this can dam-
age the cover.
i Note that regular care is essential to make
sure that the appearance and comfort of the
covers are retained over time.
Genuine leather seat covers
Leather is a natural product.
It has natural surface properties, e.g.:
R unevenness in structure
R marks caused by growth and injury
R subtle colour differences
These are characteristics of leather and not
material faults.
! To retain the natural appearance of the
leather, observe the following cleaning
instructions:
R Clean genuine leather covers carefully with
a damp cloth and then wipe the covers
down with a dry cloth.
R Make sure that the leather does not
become soaked. It may otherwise become
rough and cracked.
R Only use leather care agents that have
been tested and approved by Mercedes- Benz. You can obtain these from a qualified
specialist workshop.
Seat covers from other materials
! Observe the following when cleaning:
R clean artificial leather covers with a cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid).
R clean cloth covers with a microfibre cloth
moistened with a solution containing 1%
detergent (e.g. washing-up liquid). Rub
carefully, and always wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines. Leave
the seat to dry afterwards. Cleaning results
depend on the type of dirt and how long it
has been there.
R Clean DINAMICA covers with a damp cloth.
Make sure that you wipe entire seat sec-
tions to avoid leaving visible lines.
Cleaning the seat belts G
WARNING
Seat belts may be severely weakened if
bleached or coloured. This may lead to the
seat belts, for example, tearing or failing in an accident. There is an increased risk of injury,
possibly even fatal.
Never bleach or colour seat belts.
! Do not clean the seat belts using chemical
cleaning agents. Do not dry the seat belts at
temperatures above 80 † or in direct sun-
light.
X Use clean, lukewarm water and soap solution.
Cleaning the roof lining and carpets X
Roof lining: if it is very dirty, use a soft brush
or dry shampoo.
X Carpets: use the carpet and textile cleaning
agents recommended and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Care

reduces the traction on wet roads (aquaplan-
ing).
R Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear.
Observe the notes on the emergency spare
wheel (Y page 325). MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
With MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics), you can continue to drive your vehi- cle even if there is a total loss of pressure in one
or more tyres.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in conjunc- tion with an activated tyre pressure loss warning system or with an activated tyre pressure mon-
itor and on wheels specifically tested by
Mercedes-Benz.
Notes on driving with MOExtended tyres with a
flat tyre (Y page 298).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop. Winter operation
General notes
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a qualified
specialist workshop at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing a wheel"
section (Y page 321). Driving with summer tyres
At temperatures below +7 †, summer tyres lose
elasticity and therefore traction and braking
power. Change the tyres on your vehicle to
M+S tyres. Using summer tyres at very cold
temperatures could cause tears to form,
thereby damaging the tyres permanently.
Mercedes-Benz cannot accept responsibility for
this type of damage. G
WARNING
Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflation pres-
sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.
Check the tyres regularly for signs of damageand replace any damaged tyres immediately. M+S tyres
G
WARNING
M+S tyres with a tyre tread depth of less than 4 mm are not suitable for use in winter as they
do not provide sufficient traction. There is a
risk of accident.
M+S tyres with a tread depth of less than
4 mm must be replaced.
At temperatures below +7 †, use winter tyres or all-season tyres. Both types of tyre are identified
by the M+S marking.
Only winter tyres bearing the isnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking provide
the best possible grip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tyres will allow driving safety sys-
tems such as ABS and ESP ®
to function opti-
mally in winter. These tyres have been devel-
oped specifically for driving in snow.
Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread on all
wheels to maintain safe handling characteris-
tics.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the M+S tyres you have fit-
ted.
If you fit M+S tyres that have a lower maximum
permissible speed than that of the maximum
design speed of the vehicle, affix a correspond- ing warning label in the driver's field of vision.
This can be obtained at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum design speed of the vehi- cle using permanent SPEEDTRONIC so that it
does not exceed the maximum permissible
speed for the M+S tyres (Y page 161). Winter operation

Information on the message display can be
found in the "Restarting the tyre pressure loss
warning system" section (Y page 318).
Important safety notes The tyre pressure warning system does not warn
you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 316).
The tyre pressure loss warning does not replace the need to regularly check the tyre pressures.
An even loss of pressure on several tyres at the
same time cannot be detected by the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system.
The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn
you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the event of
a sudden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering
manoeuvres.
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 a very sporty driving style (corner-
ing at high speeds or driving with high rates of
acceleration).
R you are towing a very heavy or large trailer.
R you are driving with a heavy load (in the vehi-
cle or on the roof).
Restarting the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system Restart the tyre pressure loss warning system if
you have:
R changed the tyre pressure
R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
X Before restarting, make sure that the tyre
pressures are set properly on all four tyres for the respective operating conditions. The rec-
ommended tyre pressures can be found in the
tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
The tyre pressure loss warning system can
only give reliable warnings if you have set the correct tyre pressure. If an incorrect tyre pressure is set, these incorrect values will be
monitored.

tor the tyre pressures in all four tyres. The tyre
pressure monitor warns you if the pressure
drops in one or more of the tyres. The tyre pres- sure monitor only functions if the corresponding
sensors are fitted to all wheels.
Information on tyre pressures is shown in the
multifunction display. After a few minutes of
driving, the current tyre pressure of each tyre is 318

Information on technical data
i The technical data was determined in
accordance with EU Directives. All data
applies to the vehicle's standard equipment.
The data may therefore differ for vehicles with
optional equipment. You can obtain further
information from a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. Vehicle electronics
Tampering with the engine electron-
ics
! Only have work carried out on the engine
electronics and its associated parts, such as
control units, sensors, actuating components
and connector leads, at a qualified specialist
workshop. Vehicle components may other-
wise wear more quickly and the vehicle's
operating permit may be invalidated. Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
G
WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi- ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you operate RF transmitters incorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfere with the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not a low-reflection type This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating RF transmitters in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R observe the maximum permissible output
in these wavebands.
R only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
takes into consideration the scientific discus-
sion surrounding the possible health risk posed
by electromagnetic fields.
Observe the notes on operating mobile phones
(Y page 275).
The following aerial positions may be used for
the correct installation of RF transmitters: Approved aerial positions
:
Front roof area
; Rear roof area
= Rear wing
