WARNING
If you do not correctly store objects in the
vehicle interior, they can slip or be flung
around, thus striking vehicle occupants.
There is a risk of injury, especially when brak- ing or abruptly changing directions. R
Always store objects so that they cannot be
flung around in these or in similar situa-
tions.
R Always make sure that objects do not pro-
trude from stowage compartments, lug-
gage nets or stowage nets.
R Close lockable stowage compartments
while driving.
R Stow and secure objects that are heavy,
hard, pointy, sharp-edged, fragile or too
large in the boot.
Observe the loading guidelines (Y page 316).
! Only use the cup holders for containers of
the right size and which have lids. The
drinks could otherwise spill.
! Do not expose drinks bottles in the cup
holder in the centre console to continuous, strong and direct sunlight. The passenger

Important safety notes G
WARNING
If you cover the ventilation grille for the cool-
box, it may overheat. There is a risk of fire.
Always make sure that the ventilation grille is not covered.
The ventilation grille for the coolbox is in the
boot.
The coolbox can bear a maximum load of
3.5 kg.
If you want to store a bottle in the upper com-
partment of the coolbox, the capacity of the
bottle must not exceed 0.5 l.
Store only plastic bottles in the upper com-
partment of the coolbox.
Using the coolbox X
Vehicles with rear seat armrest: fold

X Fold the cover out to the front.
X To switch cooling level to low: press but-
ton ;once.
An indicator lamp in the button lights up.
X To switch cooling level to high: press
button ;twice.
Both indicator lamps in the button light up.
X To switch off cooling: press button;
repeatedly until the indicator lamps go out.
The cooling output of the coolbox depends on
the ambient temperature and the selected
cooling level.
The coolbox reduces its cooling output or
switches off if:
R many electrical consumers are turned on
R the starter battery is not sufficiently
charged
This is indicated by the flashing indicator
lamps in the button. The cooling function will automatically switch back on as soon as there
is sufficient voltage.
Caring for the coolbox If you do not need to use the coolbox for an
extended period you should switch it off,
defrost it and clean it. After doing so, leave
the lid open for a time.326

CareMaintenance and care

Wash off excess dirt before cleaning the vehi-
cle in an automatic car wash.
After using an automatic car wash, wipe off
wax from the windscreen and the wiper
blades. This will prevent smears and reduce
wiping noises caused by residue on the wind- screen.
Washing by hand In some countries, washing by hand is only
allowed at specially equipped washing bays.
Observe the legal requirements for each indi- vidual country.
X Do not use hot water and do not wash the
vehicle in direct sunlight.
X Use a soft sponge to clean.
X Use a mild cleaning agent, such as a car
shampoo approved by Mercedes-Benz.
X Thoroughly hose down the vehicle with a
gentle jet of water.
X Do not point the water jet directly towards
the air inlet.
X Use plenty of water and rinse out the
sponge frequently.
X Rinse the vehicle with clean water and dry
thoroughly with a chamois.
X Do not let the cleaning agent dry on the
paintwork.
When using the vehicle in winter, remove all
traces of road salt deposits carefully and as
soon as possible.
High-pressure cleaning equipment G
WARNING
The water jet of circular-jet nozzles (dirt grind- ers) can cause damage not visible from the
outside to tyres or chassis components. Com-
ponents damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail. There is a risk of an accident.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have dam- aged tyres or chassis components replaced
immediately. !
Always maintain a distance of at least
30 cm between the vehicle and the high-
pressure cleaner nozzle. Information about
the correct distance is available from the
equipment manufacturer.
Move the high-pressure cleaner nozzle
around when cleaning your vehicle.
Do not aim directly at any of the following:
R tyres
R door gaps, roof gaps, joints etc.
R electrical components
R battery
R connectors
R lights
R seals
R trim elements
R ventilation slots
Damaged seals or electrical components
can lead to leaks or failures.
! If the key is within the rear detection
range of KEYLESS-GO, the following situa-
tions, for example, could lead to the boot lid opening unintentionally:
R using a car wash
R using a high-pressure cleaner
Make sure that the key is at least 3 m away
from the vehicle.
Cleaning the paintwork !
Do not affix:
R stickers
R films
R magnetic plates or similar items
to painted surfaces. You could otherwise
damage the paintwork.
Scratches, corrosive deposits, areas affected by corrosion and damage caused by inade-
quate care cannot always be completely
repaired. In such cases, visit a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. Care

General notes Apart from some country-specific variants,
vehicles are not equipped with tyre-changing
tools. If the vehicle is equipped with tyre-
changing tools, these are located in the stow- age well under the boot floor. Some tools for
changing a wheel are specific to the vehicle.
For more information on which tyre changing
tools are required and approved to perform a
wheel change on your vehicle, consult a quali- fied specialist workshop.
Necessary tyre-changing tools can include,
for example:
R Jack
R Wheel chock
R Wheel wrench
R Ratchet ring spanner
R Centring pin Vehicles with a TIREFIT kit

Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with: R tyres with run-flat characteristics
(MOExtended tyres) (Y page 358)
Vehicle preparation is not necessary on
vehicles with MOExtended tyres.
R a TIREFIT kit (Y page 357)
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is
therefore recommended that you additionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris- tics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be
obtained from a qualified specialist work-
shop.

X Make sure that the passengers are not
endangered as they do so. Make sure that
no one is near the danger area while a wheel is being changed. Anyone who is not
directly assisting in the wheel change
should, for example, stand behind the bar-
rier.
X Get out of the vehicle. Pay attention to traf-
fic conditions when doing so.
X Close the driver's door.
X Place the warning triangle at a suitable dis-
tance (Y page 356). Observe legal require-
ments. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
General notes With MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics), you can continue to drive
your vehicle even if there is a total loss of
pressure in one or more tyres. The affected
tyre must not show any clearly visible dam-
age.
You can recognise MOExtended tyres by the
MOExtended marking which appears on the
tyre wall. You will find this marking next to the
tyre size designation, the load-bearing capa-
city and the speed index.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with an activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor.
If a pressure loss warning message
appears in the multifunction display:
R observe the instructions in the display mes-
sages (Y page 295)
R check the tyre for damage
R if driving on, observe the following notes
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode is approximately 80 km when the vehicle is
partially laden and approximately 30 km
when the vehicle is fully laden. 358
