WARNING
When you operate or program the garage door with the integrated garage door opener, per-
sons in the range of movemen tofthe garage
door can become trapped or struck by the
garage door. There is arisk of injury.
When using the integrated garage door
opener, alway smake sure that nobody is
within the range of movemen tofthe garage

WARNING
Combustion engines emit poisonous exhaust
gases such as carbon monoxide. Inhaling
these exhaust gases leads to poisoning. There is ar isk of fatal injury. Therefore never leave
the engine runnin ginenclosed spaces with-
out sufficient ventilation.

MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
General notes With MOExtended tyres (tyre
swith run-flat
characteristics), you can continue to drive
yourv ehicleeven if there is atotal loss of
pressure in one or more tyres. The affected
tyre must not show any clearly visible dam-
age.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the
tyre wall. You willf ind this marking next to the
tyre size designation, the load-bearing capa-
city and the spee dindex.
MOExtended tyres may only be usedinc on-
junction with an activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor.
If ap ressure lossw arningmessage
appears in the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sage s(Ypage3 22)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
is approximately 80 km when the vehicl eis
partiallyl aden and approximately 30 km
when the vehicl eisfullyladen.
In addition to the vehicl eload, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
R vehicl espeed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/manoeuvres ,oritcan be increased
through amoderate style of driving.
The driving distance possible in run-fla tmode
is counted from the moment the tyre pressure loss warning appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
You must not exceed amaximu mspee dof
80 km/h. When replacing one or all tyres, observe the
following specifications for yourv
ehicle's
tyres:
R size
R the type and
R the "MOExtended "mark.
If at yre has gone flat and cannot be replaced
with an MOExtended tyre, astandard tyre
may be usedasat emporary measure. Make
sure that you use the prope rsize and type
(summer or winter tyre).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It is
therefore recommende dthat you additionally
equip yourv ehiclewithaTIREFIT kit if you fit
tyres that do not feature run-fla tcharacteris-
tics, e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can be
obtained from aqualified specialist work-
shop.
Important safety notes G
WARNING
When driving in emergency mode, the driving characteristics deteriorate, e.g. when corner-
ing, accelerating quickly and when braking.
There is arisk of accident.
Do not exceed the stated maximu mspeed.
Avoid abrupt steering and driving manoeu-
vres, and driving over obstacles (kerbs, pot-
holes, off-road). This appliesinp articulartoa
laden vehicle.
Stop driving in emergency mode if:
R you hearb anging noises.
R the vehicl estarts to shake.
R you see smoke and smell rubber.
R ESP ®
is intervening constantly.
R there are tears in the sidewalls of the tyre.
After driving in emergency mode, have the
whee lrims checked at aqualified specialist
worksho pwith regard to their further use .The
faulty tyre must be replaced. 398

If yo ufind no signs of damage, have the tyres
and wheel schecke dataq ualified specialist
workshop.
Whe nparking your vehicle ,make sure that
the tyre sdonot get deforme dbythe kerb or
othe robstacles. If it is necessary to drive over
kerbs, speed humps or similar elevations ,try
to do so slowl yand at an obtuse angle .Oth-
erwise ,the tyres, particularly the sidewalls,
may be damaged. Regular checking of wheel

WARNING
Damaged tyre scan cause tyre inflation pres-
sure loss. As aresult, yo ucould los econtrol of
your vehicle .There is ariskofa ccident.
Check the tyre sregularl yfor signs of damage
and replace any damaged tyre simmediately.
Regularly check the wheel sand tyre sofyour
vehicle for damag eatleastonce amonth, as
well as afte rdriving off-road or on rough
roads. Damaged wheel scan cause alossof
tyre pressure. Pa yparticula rattention to
damag esucha s:
R cuts in the tyres
R punctures
R tears in the tyres
R bulge sont he tyres
R deformation or severe corrosio nonwheels
Regularly check the tyre trea ddepth and the
condition of the trea dacross the whol ewidth
of the tyre (Y page 417). If necessary, turn
the front wheel stofullloc kino rder to inspect
the inner sid eofthe tyre surface.
All wheel smusth aveav alve cap to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not fit
anything onto the valve othe rthan the stand-
ard valve cap or othe rvalve cap sapproved for
your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz. Do not fit any othe rvalve cap sorsystems ,e.g. tyre pres-
sure monitoring systems. Regularly check the pressure of al
lthe tyres,
particularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tyre pressure as necessary (Y page 420).
Observe the notes on the emergency spare
wheel (Y page 465).
The service life of tyre sdepends on various
factors, including the following:
R driving style
R tyre pressure
R mileage Note
sont he tyre tread G
WARNING
Insufficient tyre trea dwillr educe tyre trac-
tion. The tyre is no longer able to dissipate
water. Thi smeans that on we troa ds urfaces,
the ris kofaquapl aning increases, in particular
where speed is not adapted to suit the driving
conditions .There is ariskofa ccident.
If the tyre pressure is too hig hortoo low ,tyres
may exhibi tdifferent level sofwearatd iffer-
ent locations on the tyre tread. Thus, you
shoul dregularl ycheck the trea ddepth and
the condition of the trea dacross the entire
width of al ltyres.
Minimum tyre trea ddepth for:
R summer tyres: 3mm
R M+S tyres: 4mm
For safety reasons, replace the tyre sbefore
the legall yprescribed limit for the minimum
tyre trea ddepth is reached. Selecting, fitting and replacing tyres
