Emergency spare wheel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of the spare wheel or emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mounting an emergency spare wheel may
severely impair the driving characteristics.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
Radapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
Rnever mount more than one spare wheel or
emergency spare wheel that differs in size.
Ronly use a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size briefly.
Rdo not switch ESP®off.
Rhave a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size replaced at the
nearest qualified specialist workshop.
Observe that the wheel and tire dimensions
as well as the tire type must be correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or spare
wheel of a different size, you must not exceed
the maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-
gency spare wheels.
General notes
Mounting the emergency spare wheel is descri-
bed under "Mounting a wheel" (Ypage 352).
You should regularly check the pressure of the
emergency spare wheel, particularly prior to
long trips, and correct the pressure as neces-
sary (
Ypage 333). The value on the wheel or as
given in the "Wheels and tires" section is valid
(
Ypage 364).
An emergency spare wheel may also be moun-
ted against the direction of rotation. Observe
the time restriction on use as well as the speed limitation specified on the emergency spare
wheel.
3Use of snow chains not permitted. Observe the notes in the "Snow chains" section.

Useful information
i
This Operator's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipment of
your vehicle available at the time of publica-
tion of the Operator's Manual. Country-spe-
cific differences are possible. Please note
that your vehicle may not be equipped with all
features described. This also applies to
safety-related systems and functions.
iRead the information on qualified specialist
workshops (Ypage 26).
Information regarding technical data
i
The data stated here specifically refers to a
vehicle with standard equipment. Consult an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for the
data for all vehicle variants and trim levels.
Vehicle electronics
Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
GWARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from modified
or incorrectly retrofitted RF-transmitters can
interfere with the vehicle electronics. This can compromise the operational safety of the
vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
You should have all work to electrical and
electronic equipment carried out at a qualified
specialist workshop.
GWARNING
The electromagnetic radiation from incor-
rectly operated RF transmitters can interfere
with the vehicle electronics, for example:
Rif the RF transmitter is not connected with
an exterior antenna
Rthe exterior antenna has been installed
incorrectly or is not a low-reflection type
This can compromise the operational safety
of the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior antenna
mounted at a qualified specialist workshop.
When operating RF transmitters in the vehi-
cle, always connect them with the low-reflec- tion exterior antenna.
!The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of RF
transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be complied with:
Ronly approved wavebands may be used.
Rcompliance with the maximum permissibleoutput in these wavebands is required.
Ronly approved antenna positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and the health
of others. Using an exterior antenna takes into
account current scientific discussions relating
to the possible health hazards that may result
from electromagnetic fields.
The following antenna positions may be used if
RF transmitters have been properly installed:
Approved antenna positions
:
Rear roof area
;Rear fender
iOn the rear fenders, it is recommended to
position the antenna on the side of the vehicle
closest to the center of the road.
Use the Technical Specification ISO/TS 21609
when retrofitting RF transmitters (Road Vehicles
- EMC guidelines for installation of aftermarket
radio frequency transmitting equipment).
Observe the legal requirements for retrofittings.
If your vehicle has installations for two-way radio
equipment, use the power supply or antenna
connections intended for use with the basic wir-

ing. Be sure to observe the manufacturer's addi-
tional instructions when installing.
Deviations with respect to wavebands, maxi-
mum transmission outputs or antenna positions
must be approved by Mercedes-Benz.
The maximum transmission output (PEAK) at the
base of the antenna must not exceed the fol-
lowing values:
WavebandMaximum
transmission output
Short wave
3 - 54 MHz100 W
4 m waveband
74 - 88 MHz30 W

380 - 460 MHz10 W
70 cm waveband

Mobile communications
(2G/3G/4G)10 W
The following can be used in the vehicle without
restrictions:
RRF transmitters with a maximum transmis-
sion output of up to 100 mW
RRF transmitters with transmitter frequencies
in the 380 - 410 MHz waveband and a maxi-
mum transmission output of up to 2 W
(trunked radio/Tetra)
RMobile telephones (2G/3G/4G)
There is no restriction for antenna positions on
the outside of the vehicle for the following wave-
bands:

Fuel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Fuel is highly flammable. If you handle fuel
incorrectly, there is a risk of fire and explo-
sion.
You must avoid fire, open flames, creating
sparks and smoking. Switch off the engine
and, if applicable, the auxiliary heating before refueling.
GWARNING
