this occurs if the vehicle is jacked up on one
side.

Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres should be replaced when the
tread depth is 4 mm or less as they will no
longer provide adequate grip.
R the tread on a tyre may not wear evenly.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the front wheels to full lock in order to
inspect the tyre tread more easily.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an accident due to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Tyre pressures
i You will find a table of tyre pressures for
various operating conditions on the inside
of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
The applicable value for the "Minispare"
emergency spare wheel* is stated on the
spare wheel and in the technical data sec-
tion.
The applicable value for the maximum load
during trailer towing is stated on the tyre
pressure information label on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
The load condition "partially laden" or "fully
laden" is defined in the table by the differing
number of passengers and amount of lug-
gage. The actual number of seats may vary
from this – more information can be found on
the vehicle's registration document.
If no other data is stated, the tyre pressures
specified on the fuel filler flap apply for all
tyres approved for this vehicle. If the tyre pressures are preceded by a tyre
size, the tyre pressure specified only applies
to this tyre size.
Instead of the complete tyre size, it may be
that only the rim diameter is stated, e.g.
R 16
or16". Rim diameter
:is part of the tyre size and
can be found on the sidewall of the tyre. G
Risk of accident
Tyre pressure that is either too high or too low
has a negative effect on the vehicle’s driving
safety, which could lead you to cause an acci- Tyres and wheels

Removing the towing eye
X Take the wheel wrench from the vehicle
tool kit (Y page 249).
X Insert the wheel wrench handle into the
towing eye and turn it anti-clockwise.
X Unscrew the towing eye.
X Replace the cover and press it until it
engages.
X Return the towing eye and the wheel
wrench to the vehicle tool kit. Transporting the vehicle
The towing eyes or trailer coupling* can be
used to pull the vehicle onto a trailer or trans-
porter if you wish to transport it.
! Only secure the vehicle by the wheels or
wheel rims, not by parts of the vehicle such
as axle or steering components. Otherwise,
the vehicle could be damaged.
Vehicles with manual transmission X
Shift to neutral.
Vehicles with automatic transmission* X
Turn the key to position 2(Y page 75) in
the ignition lock.
X Move the transmission to position N.Fuses
Notes on changing fuses
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close down
faulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-
nents on the circuit and their functions will
fail.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and value. The fuse ratings are lis-
ted in the fuse allocation chart. A Mercedes- Benz Service Centre will be happy to advise
you. G
Risk of fire
Only use fuses that have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which have the
required fuse rating for the systems con-
cerned. Do not attempt to repair or bridge
faulty fuses. A circuit overload could other-
wise cause a fire. Have the cause traced and
rectified at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! Only use fuses that have been approved
for Mercedes-Benz vehicles and which
have the correct fuse rating for the system
concerned. Otherwise, components or sys-
tems could be damaged.
The fuses are located in various fuse boxes:
R fuse box in the engine compartment on the
driver's side
R fuse box in the boot/luggage compartment
on the right-hand side of the vehicle
Fuse allocation chart The fuse allocation chart is located with the
vehicle tool kit (Y
page 249) in the stowage
compartment under the boot/luggage com-
partment floor. Before changing a fuse
X Park the vehicle.
X Switch off all electrical consumers.
X Remove the key from the ignition lock. Fuse box in the engine compartment
X Make sure that the windscreen wipers are
turned off. Fuses
