!Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Otherwise, the catalytic converter could bedamaged by the non-combusted fuel.
Do not start the vehicle using a rapid charging device. If your vehicle's battery is discharged, theengine can be jump-started from another vehicle or from a donor battery using jumper cables.Observe the following points:
RThe battery is not accessible in all vehicles. If the other vehicle's battery is not accessible, jump-start the vehicle using a donor battery or a jump-starting device.
Ryou may only jump-start the vehicle when the engine and exhaust system are cold.
RAll vehicles except vehicles with a lithium-ion battery:do not start the engine if the batteryis frozen. Let the battery thaw first.
RJump-starting may be performed only using batteries with a nominal voltage of 12 V.
ROnly use jumper cables which have a sufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps.
RIf the battery is fully discharged, leave the battery that is being used to jump-start connected fora few minutes before attempting to start. This charges the battery slightly.
RMake sure that the two vehicles do not touch.
Make sure that:
RThe jumper cables are not damaged.
RBare parts of the terminal clamp do not come into contact with other metal parts while the jumpercables are connected to the battery.
RThe jumper cables cannot come into contact with parts that can move when the engine is running,such as the V-belt pulley or the fan.

Fuses
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If you manipulate or bridge a faulty fuse or if
you replace it with a fuse with a higher amper-
age, the electric cables could be overloaded.
This could result in a fire. There is a risk of an
accident and injury.
Always replace faulty fuses with the specified
new fuses having the correct amperage.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of thesame rating, which you can recognize by thecolor and value. The fuse ratings are listed in thefuse allocation chart.
The fuse allocation chart is on the fuse box in thecargo compartment (Ypage 328).
If a newly inserted fuse also blows, have thecause traced and rectified at a qualified special-ist workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-BenzCenter.
!Only use fuses that have been approved forMercedes-Benz vehicles and which have thecorrect fuse rating for the system concerned.Otherwise, components or systems could bedamaged.
!Make sure that no moisture can enter thefuse box when the cover is open.
!When closing the cover, make sure that it islying correctly on the fuse box. Moisture seep-ing in or dirt could otherwise impair the oper-ation of the fuses.
The fuses in your vehicle serve to close downfaulty circuits. If a fuse blows, all the compo-nents on the circuit and their functions stopoperating.
Before changing a fuse
Observe the important safety notes(Ypage 327)

off-road or on rough roads. Damaged wheelscan cause a loss of tire pressure.
Pay particular attention to damage such as:
RCuts in the tires
RPunctures in the tires
RTears in the tires
RBulges on tires
RDeformation or severe corrosion on wheels
Regularly check the tire tread depth and thecondition of the tread across the whole width ofthe tire (Ypage 331). If necessary, turn thefront wheels to full lock in order to inspect theinner side of the tire surface.
All wheels must have a valve cap to protect thevalve against dirt and moisture. Do not mountanything onto the valve other than the standardvalve cap or other valve caps approved byMercedes-Benz for your vehicle. Do not use anyother valve caps or systems, e.g. tire pressuremonitoring systems.
Regularly check the pressure of all the tires par-ticularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tire pres-sure as necessary (Ypage 333).
The service life of tires depends, among otherthings, on the following factors:
RDriving style
RTire pressure
RDistance covered
Notes on tire tread
GWARNING
Insufficient tire tread will reduce tire traction.
The tire is no longer able to dissipate water.
This means that on wet road surfaces, the risk
of hydroplaning increases, in particular where
speed is not adapted to suit the driving con-
ditions. There is a risk of accident.
If the tire pressure is too high or too low, tires
may exhibit different levels of wear at differ-
ent locations on the tire tread. Thus, you
should regularly check the tread depth and
the condition of the tread across the entire
width of all tires.
Minimum tire tread depth for:
RSummer tires:

Ryou are driving on sand or gravel.
Ryou adopt a very sporty driving style (corner-ing at high speeds or driving with high rates ofacceleration).
Ryou are towing a very heavy or large trailer.
Ryou are driving with a heavy load (in the vehi-cle or on the roof).
Restarting the tire pressure loss warn-
ing system
Restart the tire pressure loss warning system ifyou have:
Rchanged the tire pressure
Rchanged the wheels or tires
Rmounted new wheels or tires
XBefore restarting, make sure that the tirepressures are set properly on all four tires forthe respective operating conditions.
The recommended tire pressure can be foundon the Tire and Loading Information placardon the B-pillar. Additionally, a tire pressuretable is attached to the fuel filler flap. The tirepressure loss warning system can only givereliable warnings if you have set the correcttire pressure. If an incorrect tire pressure isset, these incorrect values will be monitored.
XAlso observe the notes in the section on tirepressures (Ypage 333).
XMake sure that the SmartKey is in positionHin the ignition lock (Ypage 131).

too low. The tire pressure monitor is not mal-functioning.
Rif the warning lamp flashes for around aminute and then remains lit constantly, thetire pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a messageappears in the multifunction display. Observethe information on display messages(Ypage 250).
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunctionof the tire pressure monitor to be indicated. Amalfunction will be indicated by the tire pres-sure warning lamp flashing for approximatelyone minute and then remaining lit. When themalfunction has been rectified, the tire pressurewarning lamp goes out after a few minutes ofdriving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-board computer may differ from those meas-ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge. Thetire pressures shown by the on-board computerrefer to those measured at sea level. At highaltitudes, the tire pressure values indicated by apressure gauge are higher than those shown bythe on-board computer. In this case, do notreduce the tire pressures.
The operation of the tire pressure monitor canbe affected by interference from radio transmit-ting equipment (e.g. radio headphones, two-wayradios) that may be being operated in or near thevehicle.
