!Do not park your vehicle foralong period of
time directly after cleaning, particularlya fter
cleaning the wheel rim with wheel cleaner.
Wheel cleaner can lead to the increased cor-
rosion of the brake discs and pads. Therefore,
drive for afew minutes after cleaning. By
heating up the brakes, the brake discs and
pads dry. The vehicle can then be parked for a
long period of time.
Cleaning the windows
GWARNING
You could become trapped by the windshield wipers if they start moving while cleaning the
windshieldorw iper blades. There is arisk of
injury.
Alwayss witch off the windshieldw ipers and

!Do not use dry cloths, abrasive products,
solvents or cleaning agents containing sol-
vents to clean the inside of the windows. Do
not touch the insides of the windows with
hard objects, e.g. an ice scraper or ring. There
is otherwise arisk of damaging the windows.
!Cleant he water drainage channels of the
windshielda nd the rear window at regular
intervals. Deposits such as leaves, petals and pollen may under certain circumstances pre-
vent water from draining away. This can lead
to corrosion damage and damage to elec-
tronic components.
XCleant he inside and outside of the windows
with adamp cloth and acleaning product that
is recommended and approved by Mercedes-
Benz.

vehicle has tires of adifferent sizet hant he
sizei ndicated on th eTire and Loading Infor-
mation placard or th etirep ressure label, you
should determine th eproper tir epressure for
those tires.
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has
been equipped withat irep ressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminate salow tir epres-
sure telltale when oneorm oreofy our tires
are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,
when th elow tir epressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to th eproper
pressure .Drivin gonas ignificantly underin-
flated tir ecauses th etiretoo verheat and can
lead to tir efailure. Underinflation also

If as pare wheel is mounted, the system may
continue to show the tire pressure of the wheel

occurs, note that the value displayed for the
position where the spare wheel is installed is not
the same as the current tire pressure of the
spare wheel.
Tire pressure monitor warning mes-
sages
If the tire pressure monitor detects apressure
loss in one or more tires, awarning message is
shown in the multifunction display. The yellow
h tire pressure warning lamp then lights up.
RIf the Correct Tire Pressuremessage
appears in the multifunction display, the tire
pressure in at least one tire is too low. The tire
pressure must be corrected at the next oppor-
tunity.
RIf the Check Tiresmessage appears in the
multifunction display, the tire pressure in at
least one tire has dropped significantly. The
tires must be checked.
RIf the Caution -Tire Malfunc.message
appears in the multifunction display, the tire
pressure in at least one tire has dropped sud-
denly. The tires must be checked.
Be sure to observe the instructionsa nd safety
notes in the displaym essages in the "Tires" sec-
tion (
Ypage 183).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are rotated, the tire pressures may be displayed for the
wrong positions for ashort time. This is rectified
after afew minutes of driving, and the tire pres-
sures are displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
h warning lamp goes out. The monitor uses
the currently set tire pressures as the reference
valuesf or monitoring. In most cases, the tire pressure monitor will automaticallyd
etect the
new reference valuesa fter you have changed
the tire pressure. However, you can also set ref-
erence valuesm anuallyasdescribed here. The
tire pressure monitor then monitors the new tire
pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recommen-
ded for the corresponding driving situation on
the Tire and Loading Information placard on
the B-pillar on the driver's side.
You can find more tire pressures for various
operating conditions in the tire pressure table
inside the filler flap.
Observe the information on tire pressure
when doing so (

Wheel and tire combinations
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel/tire combinations at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
!For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tires, wheels and
accessories which have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These are specially adapted to the various
driving safety systems, such as ABS or ESP
®.
Only use tires, wheels and accessories tested
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz.C er-
tain characteristics, such as handling, vehicle
noise emissions, fuel consumption, etc. may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addition,
other wheel sizes may cause the tires to rub
against the vehicle body and axle compo-
nents, when under load. This may result in
damage to the tire or to the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz is not responsible for any
damage caused by using tires, wheels or
accessories different from those recommen-
ded.
Information on tires, wheels and permissible
combinations can be obtained at aqualified
specialist workshop.
!Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz,s ince previ-ous damage cannot alwaysbed
etected on
retreaded tires. As aresult, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tires are mounted. Do not mount used tires if
you have no information about their previous
usage.
The recommended pressures for various oper-
ating conditions can be found:
Ron the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the B-pillar on the driver's side
Rin the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire pres-
sures under various operating conditions
(
Ypage 254).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the maintenance
recommendations of the tire manufacturer in
the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on equipping the vehicle:
Ralwaysi nstall tires of the same size on one
axle (left/right)
Ralwaysi nstall the same type of tires on your
vehicle (summer tires, winter tires, all-

GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nentsort he exhaust system. There is arisk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
!Do not add distilled or de-ionized water to

Do not use distilled or de-ionized water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give afalse reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(

At temperatures above freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit.
Add 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of

Climate control system refrigerant
Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The instruction label regarding the refrigerant
type used can be found on the radiator cross
member.
!Only the refrigerant R‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant.O therwise, the climate
control system may be damaged.
Servicew ork, such as refilling with refrigerant or
replacing component parts, may only be carried
out by aqualified specialist workshop. All appli-
cable regulations must be adhered to, SAE
standard J639 included.
Always have work on the climate control system carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.
