Important safety notes
G WARNING
Children could become trapped if they adjust
the seats, particularly when unattended.
There is a risk of injury.
When leaving the vehicle, always take the
SmartKey with you and lock the vehicle. Never
leave children unsupervised in the vehicle.
The seats can still be adjusted when the power
supply is switched off. G WARNING
When you adjust a seat, you or other vehicle
occupants could become trapped, e.g. on the
seat guide rail. There is a risk of injury.
Make sure when adjusting a seat that no one
has any body parts in the sweep of the seat.
Observe the safety notes on "Air bags"
( Y
page 48) and "Children in the vehicle"
( Y
page 59).
G WARNING
The front-air bags for could also injure the
vehicle occupants in the front If the front
seats are positioned too close to the dash-
board or steering wheel. This poses an
increased risk of injury or even fatal injury.
Always adjust the front seats so that they are
as far from the front air bags as possible. Also
observe the notes on the correct adjustment
of the seats.

G WARNING
Electrolyte may escape if the glass in an auto-
matic anti-glare mirror breaks. The electrolyte
is harmful and causes irritation. It must not
come into contact with your skin, eyes, res-
piratory organs or clothing or be swallowed.
There is a risk of injury.
If you come into contact with the electrolyte,
observe the following: R
Rinse off the electrolyte from your skin
immediately with water. R
Immediately rinse the electrolyte out of
your eyes thoroughly with clean water. R
If the electrolyte is swallowed, immediately
rinse your mouth out thoroughly. Do not

Skibag
Important safety notes
G WARNING
The skibag in conjunction with the lashing
straps cannot restrain any objects other than
skis.
Vehicle occupants could be struck in the
event of sudden braking or an accident, for
instance, if you: R
transport other heavy or sharp-edged
objects in the skibag R
do not secure the skibag with the lashing
straps
There is a risk of accident and injury.
Store only skis in the skibag. Always secure
the skibag with the lashing straps so that it
cannot move around.
Observe the following points when using the
skibag: R
do not transport more than three pairs of skis
in the skibag. R
when carefully sliding the skis into or remov-
ing them from the skibag, mind the sharp
edges and corners of the skis. R
stow the skis as described in the following: -
when sliding the skis in, position the run-
ning surfaces of the respective pair of skis
together. -
position one pair of skis at the bottom with
the tips of the skis pointing to the outside. -
position the two additional pairs of skis on
the left and right-hand sides above the
lower pair of skis. The tips of the skis being
offset by 90° to the tips of the skis below. Unfolding the skibag and loading skis

! Note that work and repairs on the 115 V
power socket should only be carried out by
qualified specialist personnel.
General notes The 115 V power socket provides an alternating
voltage of 115 V so that small electronic devices
can be connected. These devices, such as
games consoles, chargers and laptops, must not
consume more than a maximum of 150 watts
altogether.
Requirements for operation of these devices: R
the electronic device that you connect has a
suitable connector and conforms to stand-
ards specific to the country you are in. R
the plug of the electronic device is plugged
correctly into 115 V power socket. R
the maximum wattage of the device to be
connected must not exceed 150 watts. R
the on-board power supply is within a permis-
sible voltage range. R
the 12 V sockets in the center console in the
front compartment ( Y
page 296) and in the
trunk are functional ( Y
page 297).
Using the 115 V power socket The 115 V socket is in the center console in the
rear compartment on vehicles with a rear bench
seat or electrically adjustable rear seats. X
To switch on: switch the ignition on. X

The tire pressure table contains the recommen-
ded pressures for cold tires for various operat-
ing conditions, i.e. differing load and speed con-
ditions.
If a tire size precedes a tire pressure, the fol-
lowing tire pressure information is only valid for
that tire size; see illustration (example).
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in the table for different num-
bers of occupants and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may differ.
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 ( Y
page 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: R
if you want to drive with an increased load
and/or R
if you want to drive at higher road speeds
The 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 sud-
den loss of pressure.
For more information, contact a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Important notes on tire pressure
G WARNING
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. R
Check the tire for foreign objects. R
Check 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.
G WARNING
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 elec-
tronic tire pressure monitor, the tire pressure
can be checked in the on-board computer. Tire pressure 347
