Comply with safety precautions and take pro-
tective measures when handlin g batteries.
Riskof explosion.
Fire, open flames and smoking are
prohibited when handling the bat-
tery. Avoid creating sparks.
Battery acid iscaustic. Avoid con-
tact with skin, eyes or clothing.
Wear suitable protective clothing,
especial lygloves, apron and face-
guard.
Rins e any acid spills immediately
wit h clear water. Contact a physi-
cian if necessary.
Wear eye protection.
Keep children away.
Observe th isOperator's Manual.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
men dsthat you only use batteries which have
been tested and approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz. These batteries pro vide
increased impact protection to prevent veh i-
cle occupants from suffering acid burns
should the battery bedamaged inthe event of
an acc ident.
In order for the battery to achieve the max i-
mum possible service life, it must always be
suff iciently charge d.
Like other batteries, the vehicle battery may
disc harge over time if you donot use the
veh icle.In this case, have the battery discon-
nected at a qualified specialist workshop. You
can also charge the battery with a charger
recommended byMercedes-Benz. Contact a qualif
ied specialist workshop for further infor-
mation.
Have the battery condition of charge checked
more frequently ifyou use the vehicle main ly
for short trips or ifyou leave itstanding idle
for a lengthy period. Consult aqualified spe-
cialist workshop ifyou wish to leave your
vehicle parked for a long period of time.
Only replace a battery with a battery that has
been recommended byMercedes-Benz.
Remo vethe SmartKey ifyou park the vehicle
and donot require any electrical consumers.
The vehicle willthen use very lit
tle energy,
thus conserving battery power.
If the power supply has been interrupted, e.g.
if you reconnect the battery, you willhave to:
Rset the clock via Aud io20 or COMAND (see
separate operating instructions).
Rreset the function for folding the exterior
mirrors in/out automatically, byfolding the
mirrors out once (
Ypage 109).
Charging the battery
GWARNIN G
During charging and jump-starting ,explosive
gase scan escape from th ebattery. Ther eis a
ris kof an explosion .
Particularly avoi dfire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Ensure there is sufficien t
ventilation while charging and jump-starting .
Do no tlean ove r abattery.
GWARNIN G
Battery acid is caustic .Ther eis aris kof injury.
Avoid contact wit hskin, eyes or clothing .Do
no tinhale any battery gases. Do no tlean ove r

ies. Wash away battery acid immediately wit h
plenty of clean wate rand seek medical atten -
tion.

XDepress and hold the brake pedal.
XShift the automatic transmission to posi-
tionN.
XLeave the SmartKey in position 2in the
ignition lock.
XRelease the brake pedal.
XRelease the electric parking brake.
XSwitch on the hazard warning lamps
(
Ypage 119).
iIn order to signal a change of direction
when towing the vehicle with the hazard
warning lamps switched on, use the com-
bination switch as usual. In this case, only
the indicator lamps for the direction of
travel flash. After resetting the combina-
tion switch, the hazard warning lamp starts
flashing again.
Transporting the vehicle
4MATIC vehicles/vehicles with auto-
matic transmission
!When the vehicle is loaded for transport,
the front and rear axles must be stationary
and on the same transportation vehicle.
Positioning over the connection point of the
transport vehicle is not permitted. The drive
train may otherwise be damaged.
All vehicles
!You may only secure the vehicle by the
wheels, not by parts of the vehicle such as axle or steering components. Otherwise,
the vehicle could be damaged.
XTurn the SmartKey to position
2in the igni-
tion lock (
Ypage 149).
XShift the transmission to position N.
As soon as the vehicle has been loaded:
XPrevent the vehicle from rolling away by
applying the electric parking brake.
XShift the transmission to position P.
XTurn the SmartKey to position 0in the igni-
tion lock and remove it.
XSecure the vehicle.
The towing eye can be used to pull the vehicle
onto a trailer or transporter for transporting
purposes.
Notes on 4MATIC vehicles
!
Vehicles with 4MATIC must not be towed
with either the front or the rear axle raised,
as doing so will damage the transmission.
Vehicles with 4MATIC may only either be
towed away with both axles on the ground or
be loaded up and transported.
If the vehicle's transmission, front, or rear
axle is damaged, have the vehicle transported
on a truck or trailer.
In the event of damage to the electrical
system:
If the battery is defective, the automatic
transmission will be locked in position P. To
shift the automatic transmission to position
N, you must provide power to the vehicle's
electrical system in the same way as when
jump-starting (
Ypage 331).
Have the vehicle transported on a transporter
or trailer.

Some tire pressure tables show only the rim
diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.
R18. Rim diameter is part of the tire size and
can be found on the tire sidewall
(
Ypage 357).
If the tire pressures have been set to the
lower values for lighter loads and/or lower
road speeds, the pressures should be reset to
the higher values:
Rif you want to drive with an increased load
and/or
Rif you want to drive at higher road speeds
iThe tire pressures for increased loads
and/or higher road speeds, shown in the
tire pressure table, may have a negative
effect on driving comfort.
If the tire pressure is not set correctly, this
can lead to an excessive build-up of heat and
a sudden loss of pressure.
For more information, contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Important notes on tire pressure
GWARNING
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tire
pressure that is too low may result in a tire
blow-out. There is a risk of an accident.
RCheck the tire for foreign objects.
RCheck whether the wheel is losing air or the valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tire pres- sure monitors keep the tire valve open. This
can also result in tire pressure loss. There is a
risk of an accident.
Only screw the standard valve cap or other
valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tire valve.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the
tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
the tire pressure. On vehicles equipped with
the electronic tire pressure monitor, the tire
pressure can be checked in the on-board
computer.
The tire temperature and pressure increase
when the vehicle is in motion. This is depend-
ent on the driving speed and the load.
Therefore, you should only correct tire pres-
sures when the tires are cold.
The tires are cold:
Rif the vehicle has been parked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
Rif the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1 mile (1.6 km)
The tire temperature changes depending on
the outside temperature, the vehicle speed
and the tire load. If the tire temperature
changes by 18 ‡ (10 †), the tire pressure
changes by ap proxi
mately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi). Take this into account when check-
ing the pressure of warm tires. Only correct
the tire pressure if it is too low for the current
operating conditions. If you check the tire
pressure when the tires are warm, the result-
ing value will be higher than if the tires were
cold. This is normal. Do not reduce the tire
