For more information, please contact a qualifiedspecialist workshop.
Please observe the manufacturer's operatinginstructions for the trailer coupling if a detach-able trailer coupling is used.
Couple and uncouple the trailer carefully. If youdo not couple the trailer to the towing vehiclecorrectly, the trailer could become detached.
Make sure that the following values are notexceeded:
Rthe permissible trailer drawbar noseweight
Rthe permissible trailer load
Rthe permissible rear axle load of the towingvehicle
Rthe maximum permissible gross vehicleweight of both the towing vehicle and thetrailer
The applicable permissible values, which mustnot be exceeded, can be found:
Rin the vehicle documents
Ron the type plate for the trailer
Ron the vehicle identification plate
If the values differ, the lowest value applies.
When towing a trailer, your vehicle's handlingcharacteristics will be different in comparisonwith when driving without a trailer.
The vehicle/trailer combination:
Ris heavier
Ris restricted in its acceleration and gradient-climbing capability
Rhas an increased braking distance
Ris affected more by strong crosswinds
Rdemands more sensitive steering
Rhas a larger turning circle
This could impair the handling characteristics.
When towing a trailer, always adjust your speedto the current road and weather conditions. Donot exceed the maximum permissible speed foryour vehicle/trailer combination.
Notes on towing a trailer
General notes
RDo not exceed the maximum permissiblespeed for vehicle/trailer combinations in therelevant country.
This lowers the risk of an accident.
ROnly install an approved trailer coupling onyour vehicle.
Further information on availability and oninstallation is available from any authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
RThe bumpers of your vehicle are not suitablefor installing detachable trailer couplings.
RDo not install hired trailer couplings or otherdetachable trailer couplings on the bumpersof your vehicle.
RIf you no longer need the ball coupling,remove it from the ball coupling recess. Thiswill reduce the risk of damage to the ball cou-pling.
When towing a trailer, set the tire pressure onthe rear axle of the towing vehicle for a maxi-mum load; see the tire pressure table in the fuelfiller flap (Ypage 348).
Please note that when towing a trailer, the fol-lowing driving systems have limited availabilityor are not available at all:
RPARKTRONIC (Ypage 179)
RBlind Spot Assist (Ypage 193)
RActive Lane Keeping Assist (Ypage 200)
On vehicles without level control, the height ofthe ball coupling will alter according to the loadplaced on the vehicle. If necessary, use a trailerwith a height-adjustable drawbar.
You will find permissible trailer loads under"Technical data" (Ypage 364).
Driving tips
Observe the information on ESP®trailer stabili-zation (Ypage 71) and on pulling away with atrailer (Ypage 135).
The maximum permissible speed for vehicle/trailer combinations depends on the type oftrailer. Before beginning the journey, check thetrailer's documents to see what the maximumpermitted speed is. Observe the maximum per-missible speed in the relevant country.
For certain Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the maxi-mum permissible rear axle load is increasedwhen towing a trailer. See the "Technical data"section to find out whether this applies to yourvehicle (Ypage 365). In the event of increasedrear axle load, the vehicle/trailer combinationmay not exceed a maximum speed of 60 mph(100 km/h) for reasons concerning the operat-ing permit. This also applies in countries in

If you lift the hood by approximately 15 in(40 cm), the hood is opened and held openautomatically by the gas-filled strut.
Closing the hood
XLower the hood and let it fall from a height ofapproximately 8 in (20 cm).
XCheck that the hood has engaged properly.If the hood can be raised slightly, it is notproperly engaged. Open it again and close itwith a little more force.
Radiator
Do not cover up the radiator, such as with athermal mat or insect protection cover. Other-wise, the values of the European on-board diag-nostics may be affected. Some of these read-ings are required by law and must be accurate atall times.
Engine oil
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Certain components in the engine compart-
ment, such as the engine, radiator and parts
of the exhaust system, can become very hot.
Working in the engine compartment poses a
risk of injury.
Where possible, let the engine cool down and
touch only the components described in the
following.
GWARNING
The engine compartment contains moving
components. Certain components, such as
the radiator fan, may continue to run or start
again suddenly when the ignition is off. There
is a risk of injury.
If you need to do any work inside the engine
compartment:
Rswitch off the ignition
Rnever reach into the area where there is a
risk of danger from moving components,
such as the fan rotation area
Rremove jewelry and watches
Rkeep items of clothing and hair, for exam-
ple, away from moving parts
GWARNING
If engine oil comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Make sure that engine oil is not spilled next to
the filler neck. Let the engine cool down and
thoroughly clean the engine oil off the com-
ponents before starting the engine.
GWARNING
Opening the hood when the engine is over-
heated or when there is a fire in the engine
compartment could expose you to hot gases
or other service products. There is a risk of
injury.
Let an overheated engine cool down before
opening the hood. If there is a fire in the
engine compartment, keep the hood closed
and contact the fire department.
General notes
Depending on your driving style, the vehicleconsumes up to 0.9 US qt (0.8 l) of oil per600 miles(1,000 km). The oil consumption maybe higher than this when the vehicle is new or ifyou frequently drive at high engine speeds.
Depending on the engine, the oil dipstick may bein a different location.

Maintenance and care

Speed rating
The speed rating is part of the tire identification.It specifies the speed range for which the tire isapproved.
GVW (Gross Vehicle Weight)
The gross vehicle weight includes the weight ofthe vehicle including fuel, tools, the spare wheel,accessories installed, occupants, luggage andthe drawbar noseweight, if applicable. The grossvehicle weight must not exceed the gross vehi-cle weight rating GVWR as specified on the vehi-cle identification plate on the B-pillar on thedriver's side.
GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating)
The GVWR is the maximum permissible grossweight of a fully loaded vehicle (the weight of thevehicle including all accessories, occupants,fuel, luggage and the drawbar noseweight, ifapplicable). The gross vehicle weight rating isspecified on the vehicle identification plate onthe B-pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum loaded vehicle weight
The maximum weight is the sum of:
Rthe curb weight of the vehicle
Rthe weight of the accessories
Rthe load limit
Rthe weight of the factory installed optionalequipment
Kilopascal (kPa)
Metric unit for tire pressure. 6.9 kPa corre-sponds to 1 psi. Another unit for tire pressure isbar. 100 kilopascals (kPa) are the equivalent of1 bar.
Load index
In addition to the load-bearing index, the loadindex may also be imprinted on the sidewall ofthe tire. This specifies the load-bearing capacitymore precisely.
Curb weight
The weight of a vehicle with standard equipmentincluding the maximum capacity of fuel, oil andcoolant. It also includes the air-conditioning sys-tem and optional equipment if these are instal-led in the vehicle, but does not include passen-gers or luggage.
Maximum load rating
The maximum tire load is the maximum permis-sible weight in kilograms or lbs for which a tire isapproved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure
Maximum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire
Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated bydividing the maximum axle load of one axle bytwo.
PSI (pounds per square inch)
A standard unit of measure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio
Relationship between tire height and tire widthin percent.
Tire pressure
This is pressure inside the tire applying an out-ward force to each square inch of the tire's sur-face. The tire pressure is specified in pounds persquare inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa) or in bar.The tire pressure should only be corrected whenthe tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure
The tires are cold:
Rif the vehicle has been parked with the tiresout of direct sunlight for at least three hoursand
Rif the vehicle has not been driven further than1 mile (1.6 km)
Tread
The part of the tire that comes into contact withthe road.
Bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits securelyon the wheel. There are several steel wires in thebead to prevent the tire from coming loose fromthe wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and thebead.

must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
!Only position the jack at the appropriatejacking point of the vehicle. Otherwise, youcould damage the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehi-cle:
RTo raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-spe-cific jack that has been tested and approvedby Mercedes-Benz. If used incorrectly, thejack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
RThe jack is designed only to raise and hold thevehicle for a short time while a wheel is beingchanged. It must not be used for performingmaintenance work under the vehicle.
RAvoid changing the wheel on uphill and down-hill slopes.
RBefore raising the vehicle, secure it from roll-ing away by applying the parking brake andinserting wheel chocks. Do not disengage theparking brake while the vehicle is raised.
RThe jack must be placed on a firm, flat andnon-slip surface. On a loose surface, a large,flat, load-bearing underlay must be used. On aslippery surface, a non-slip underlay must beused, e.g. rubber mats.
RDo not use wooden blocks or similar objectsas a jack underlay. Otherwise, the jack will notbe able to achieve its load-bearing capacitydue to the restricted height.
RMake sure that the distance between theunderside of the tires and the ground does notexceed 1.2 in (3 cm).
RDo not place your hands or feet under theraised vehicle.
RDo not lie under the vehicle.
RDo not start the engine when the vehicle israised.
RNever open or close a door or the tailgatewhen the vehicle is raised.
RMake sure that no persons are present in thevehicle when the vehicle is raised.
XUsing lug wrenchC, loosen the bolts on thewheel you wish to change by about one fullturn. Do not unscrew the bolts completely.
The jacking points are located just behind thefront wheel housings and just in front of the rearwheel housings (arrows).
XTake the ratchet wrench out of the tire-chang-ing tool kit and place it on the hexagon nut ofthe jack so that the lettersAUFare visible.
