Important safety notes G
WARNING
If the instrument cluster has failed or malfunctioned, you may not recognize function restric-
tions in systems relevant to safety. The operating safety of your vehicle may be impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Drive on carefully. Have the vehicle checked at a qualified specialist workshop immediately.
The on-board computer only shows messages or warnings from certain systems in the instru-
ment cluster display. You should therefore make sure your vehicle is operating safely at all
times. If the operating safety of your vehicle is impaired, stop the vehicle as soon as possible,
paying attention to road and traffic conditions. Then consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Display messages with graphic symbols are simplified in the Operator's Manual and may differ
from the symbols in the display. The display shows high-priority display messages in red. A warn-
ing tone sounds with certain display messages.
Please respond in accordance with the display messages and follow the additional notes in this
Operator's Manual.
You can hide low-priority display messages using the a or % steering wheel button. The
display messages are then stored in the message memory. Rectify the cause of a display mes-
sage as soon as possible.
High-priority display messages cannot be hidden. These messages will continue to be shown in
the display until their cause has been eliminated.
Message memory The on-board computer stores certain display messages in the
message memory. You can call
up the stored display messages. Using the steering wheel buttons
X Press = or ; to select the Service menu.
X Press : or 9 to select Messages.

The prescribed service interval is based on
normal vehicle use. Service work will need to
be performed more frequently than prescribed
if the vehicle is operated under more arduous
conditions or with higher loads. Such arduous
conditions include:
R regular city driving with frequent intermedi-
ate stops
R driving predominantly short distances
R frequent operation in mountainous terrain or
on poor road surfaces
R leaving the engine idling for long periods on
a frequent basis
In these or similar operating conditions, have
the air filter, engine oil and oil filter, for exam-
ple, replaced more frequently. Under more
arduous operating conditions, the tires must
be checked more often. Further information
can be obtained at a qualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Com-
mercial Van Center.

Important safety notes
Work on the battery, e.g. removing or instal-
ling, requires specialist knowledge and the use
of special tools. Therefore, always have work
on the battery carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. G
WARNING
Work carried out incorrectly on the battery
can lead, for example, to a short circuit and
thus damage the vehicle electronics. This
can lead to function restrictions applying to
safety-relevant systems, e.g. the lighting
system, the ABS (anti-lock braking system)
or the ESP ®
(Electronic Stability Program).
The operating safety of your vehicle may be
restricted.
You could lose control of the vehicle, for
example:
R when braking
R in the event of abrupt steering maneuvers
and/or when the vehicle's speed is not
adapted to the road conditions
There is a risk of an accident.
In the event of a short circuit or a similar
incident, contact a qualified specialist work-
shop immediately. Do not drive any further.
You should have all work involving the bat-
tery carried out at a qualified specialist
workshop.
Further information can be found under "ABS"
(Y page
67) and under "ESP ®
" (Y page 68). G
WARNING
Electrostatic build-up can lead to the crea-
tion of sparks, which could ignite the highly
explosive gases of a battery. There is a risk
of an explosion.
Before handling the battery, touch the vehi-
cle body to remove any existing electrostatic
build-up.
The flammable gas mix is produced when the
battery is charged or when the vehicle is jump-
started. 258

Maximum tire pressures
:
Maximum permitted tire pressure (exam-
ple)
Never exceed the maximum permissible tire
inflation pressure. When adjusting the tire
pressures always observe the recommended
tire pressure for your vehicle
(Y page 282).
i The actual values for tires are specific to
each vehicle and may deviate from the val-
ues in the illustration. Tire valve (snap-in valve)
Important safety notes G
WARNING
Tire valve that are not approved for your
vehicle by the distributor named on the
inside cover page may result in a loss of tire
pressure. This may affect road safety. There
is a risk of an accident.
Only use tire valve that are approved for
your vehicle by the distributor named on the
inside cover page. Always make sure you
have the correct tire valve type for the tires
on your vehicle.
! Do not screw additional weights (check
valves, etc.) onto the tire valves. The elec-
tronic components could thus be damaged.
i For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tire valves that
have been tested for use on your vehicle. Checking the tire pressure manually
In order to determine and adjust the tire pres-
sures, proceed as follows: X Remove the valve cap of the tire you wish to
check.
X Press the tire pressure gauge securely onto
the valve.
X Read the tire pressure and compare it with
the recommended value on the loading
information table or the tire pressure table
( Y page

282).
X If the tire pressure is too low, increase it to
the recommended value.
X If the tire pressure is too high, release air by
pressing down the metal pin in the valve.
Use the tip of a pen, for example. Then,
check the tire pressure again using the tire
pressure gauge.
X Screw the valve cap onto the valve.
X Repeat the steps for the other tires. Tire pressure monitor
General notes In vehicles with a tire pressure monitor sys-
tem, the vehicle's wheels have sensors instal-
led which monitor the tire pressure in all four
tires. The tire pressure monitor warns you if
the pressure drops in one or more of the tires.
The tire pressure monitor only functions if the
corresponding sensors are installed on all
wheels.
Tire pressure display (only on vehicles with steer-
ing wheel buttons)
On vehicles with steering-wheel buttons, the
current pressure of the individual wheels in the
display can be shown via the Service menu. Tire pressure

nificantly too low. The tire pressure monitor
is not malfunctioning.
R USA only: if the h warning lamp flashes
for
60 seconds and then remains lit con-
stantly, the tire pressure monitor is malfunc-
tioning.
The display also shows a message:
R on vehicles without steering wheel buttons
(Y page 207)
R on vehicles with steering wheel buttons
(Y page 224)
USA only: if the tire pressure monitor is mal-
functioning, it may be more than ten minutes
before the malfunction is shown. The h tire
pressure warning lamp flashes for 60 seconds
and then remains lit. When the malfunction
has been rectified, the h tire pressure
warning lamp goes out after a few minutes of
driving.
The tire pressure values indicated by the on-
board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a gas station with a pressure gauge.
The tire pressures shown by the on-board
computer refer to those measured at sea level.
At high altitudes, the tire pressure values indi-
cated by a pressure gauge are higher than
those shown by the on-board computer. In this
case, do not reduce the tire pressures.
If radio transmitting equipment (e.g. wireless
headphones, two-way radios) is operated
inside the vehicle or in the vicinity of the vehi-
cle, this can interfere with the operation of the
tire pressure monitor.
Checking the tire pressure electroni-
cally on vehicles with steering wheel
buttons You can only check the tire pressure electroni-
cally on vehicles with steering wheel buttons.
Using the steering wheel buttons
X Turn the key to position 2 in the ignition
lock.

Vehicles with steering wheel buttons: if the
wheel positions on the vehicle are rotated, the
tire pressures may be displayed for the wrong
positions for a short time. This is rectified after
a few minutes of driving; the tire pressures are
then displayed for the correct positions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor General notes
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, all
existing warning messages are deleted and the
warning lamp goes out. The monitor uses the
currently set tire pressures as the reference
values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire
pressure monitor will automatically detect the
new reference values after you have changed
the tire pressure. However, you can also set
reference values manually as described here.
The tire pressure monitor then monitors the
new tire pressure values.
