WARNING Risk of accident due toaflat
tyre
A flat tyre se verely affects the driving charac‐
te rist ics as well as thesteering and braking
of theve hicle.
Ty res without run-flat characteristics: #
Do not drive on with a flat tyre. #
Chan getheflat tyre immediately with
th e emer gency spa rewheel or spare
wheel. Alternativel y,consult a qualified
specialist workshop.
Ty res with run-flat characteristics: #
Obse rveth e information and warning
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat
tyres). In
theeve nt of a flat tyre, thefo llowing options
are available depending on your vehicle's equip‐
ment:
R Vehicles with MOExtended tyres: it is pos‐
sible tocontinue the journey for a short
period of time. Make sure you obse rvethe
no tes on MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres)
(→ page 369).
R Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit: you can repair
th e tyre so that it is possible tocontinue the
jou rney for a short period of time. Todo this,
use the TIREFIT kit (→ page371).
R Vehicles with a Mercedes-Benz emer‐
ge ncy call sy stem: intheeve nt of a flat

WARNING Risk of accident when driving
in li mp-home mode
When driving in emergency mode the han‐
dling characteristics are impaired. e.g. when
cornering, when accelerating stronglyand
when braking. #
Do not exceed the specified maximum
speed. #
Avoid any abrupt steering and driving
manoeuvres as well as driving over
obs tacles (kerbs, pot holes, off-road).
This applies, in pa rticular, toa loaded
ve hicle. #
Stop driving in the emer gency mode if
yo u notice:
R banging noise
R vehicle vibration
R smoke which smells like rubber
R continuous ESP ®
inter vention
R crac ksin tyre side walls Breakdown assis

After driving in emergency mode ha ve
th erims checkedby aqu alified special‐
ist workshop with rega rd totheir fur ther
use. #
The defective tyre must be replaced in
eve rycase. Wi
th MOExtended tyres (run-flat tyres), you can
continue todrive your vehicle even if there is a
tot al loss of pressure in one or more tyres. How‐
eve r,th e tyre af fected must not show any clearly
visible damage.
Yo u can recognise MOExtended tyres bythe
MOExtended marking which appears on the side
wa ll of the tyre.
Ve hicles with tyre pressure loss warning sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in
conjunction wi than activated tyre pressure loss
wa rning sy stem.
Ve hicles with tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: MOExtended tyres may only be used in
conjunction wi than activated tyre pressure mon‐
itoring sy stem. If a pressure loss
warning message appears in
th e multifunction display:
R Check the tyre for dama ge.
R If driving on, obser vethefo llowing no tes.
Driving distance possible in limp-home mode
af te r the pressure loss warning: Load condition Driving distance pos‐
sible in limp-homemode
Pa rtially laden 80 km
Fu lly laden 30 km R
The driving dis tance possible in li mp-home
mode may vary depending on the driving
st yle.
R Maximum permissible speed 80 km/h.
If a tyre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOEx tended tyre, you can use a stand‐
ard tyre as a temp orary measure. TIREFIT kit

WARNING Risk of accident when using
tyre sealant
In thefo llowing situations, the tyre sealant is

Let the tyre inflation compressor runfo r a
maximum of ten minu tes.
The tyre should then ha veattained a tyre
pressure of at least 200 kPa (2.0 bar/

If tyre sealant leaks out, make sure you clean the
af fected area as quickly as possible. It is prefera‐
ble touse clean water.
If yo uge t tyre sealant on your clo thing, ha veit

If th e specified tyre pressure is not achie ved
af te rth e specified time, the tyre is too badly
damaged. The tyre sealant cannot repair the
tyre in this ins tance.
Dama ged tyres and a tyre pressure that is
to o low can significantly impair braking and

WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs handling characteristics and is not
suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the specified maximum
speed with a tyre that has been sealed
using tyre sealant. #
Obse rveth e maximum permissible speed for

Obser
vethefo llowing when selecting, fitting and
re placing tyres:
R Countr y-specific requirements for tyre
appro valth at define a specific tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
Fu rthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Only fit tyres of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
ge neral operating pe rmit. R
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: Allfitted wheels mu stbe equipped
with functioning sensors forth e tyre pres‐
sure monitoring sy stem.
R Attemp eratures below 7 °C, use winter tyres
or all-season tyres mar ked M+S for all
wheels.
Wi nter tyres bearing thei snowflake
symbol in addition tothe M+S marking pro‐
vide the best possible grip in wintry road
conditions.
R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tyres fitted.
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.
R Run in new tyres at moderate speeds forthe
fi rs t10 0 km.
R Replace the tyres af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear. R
When replacing with tyres that do not
fe ature run-flat characteristics: Vehicles
with MOExtended tyres are not equipped
with a TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip the
ve hicle with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with
tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris‐
tics, e.g. winter tyres.
