Notes:
The automatic closing process is interrupted if the
trunk lid is pushed against an object. The trunk lid will
reverse slightly and stop. In its final closing stage the
hydraulic power closing assist mechanism releases the
trunk lid which then drops into the lock by its own
weight. Now the trunk lid will stop but not reverse
slightly. Investigate and correct the cause of interruption.
Now press trunk lid button (2) again to close the trunk
lid.
In case of a malfunction the trunk lid can be opened and
closed manually.
To open, unlock trunk lid with the mechanical key and
open lid by hand, see page 53.
To close, lower trunk lid with hands placed flat on trunk
lid. Please remember to keep your fingers out of the
space between the lid and the vehicle.
Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO:
To prevent a possible inadvertent lockout, the trunk lid
will open automatically if a KEYLESS-GO-card is
recognized in the area of the rear shelf or inside the
trunk.
Wa r n i n g !
To prevent possible personal injury, always keep
hands and fingers away from the trunk opening
when closing the trunk lid. Be especially careful
when small children are around.Always be sure persons who might get injured are
away from the trunk area when you operate the
trunk closing button located on the vehicle door.To interrupt the hydraulic power closing assist
mechanism press trunk lid close button (2) inside
the trunk lid, push in trunk lid lock or press

Parcel net in front passenger footwell
A small convenience parcel net is located in the front
passenger footwell. It is for small and light items, such
as road maps, mail, etc..
Note:
With large objects stored in the parcel net do not slide
the seat fully forward, it could damage them.Parcel net in trunk
There are hooks (1) on the left and right inside the
trunk from which the parcel net is suspended.
The tab (arrow) must point down into the trunk.
The parcel net and hooks are only designed to take light
loads in normal driving conditions. They are unable to
secure a load in the event of an accident. Observe the
weight limit on the tab (arrow).
Wa r n i n g !
Do not place heavy or fragile objects, or objects
having sharp edges, in the parcel net.In an accident, during hard braking or sudden
maneuvers, they could be thrown around inside
the vehicle, and cause injury to vehicle occupants.

Te ch n ica l

cluster displayPractical hintsCar care Index Rotating wheels
The wheels can be rotated according to the degree of
tire wear while retaining the same direction of travel.
Rotating, however, should be carried out as
recommended by the tire manufacturer, before the
characteristic tire wear pattern (shoulder wear on front
wheels and tread center wear on rear wheels) becomes
visible, as otherwise the driving properties deteriorate.
Notes:
Thoroughly clean the inner side of the wheels any time
you rotate the wheels or wash the vehicle underside.
The use of retread tires is not recommended. Retread
tires may adversely affect the handling characteristics
and safety of the vehicle.
Dented or bent rims can cause tire pressure loss and
damage to the tire beads. For this reason, check rims for
damage at regular intervals. The rim f langes must be
checked for wear before a tire is mounted. Remove
burrs, if any.
Check and ensure proper tire inflation pressure after
rotating the wheels. For tire inflation pressure see
inside of fuel filler flap and also page 290.Spare wheel
Spare wheel S 430, S 500 and S 600
(except Sport Package)
Important!
The spare wheel rim is mounted with a full size tire of
the same type as on the vehicle, and is fully functional.
However, that spare wheel rim is weight optimized and
has a limited service life of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
use before a standard wheel rim must replace it.
In the case of a flat tire, you may temporarily use the
spare wheel.
Do not operate vehicle with more than one spare wheel
mounted.
Wa r n i n g !
The spare wheel rim is for temporary use only. Use
for over a total of 12 000 miles (20 000 km)
(aggregate of all uses) may cause wheel rim failure
leading to an accident and possible injuries.

and controlsOperation DrivingInstrument
cluster displayPractical hintsCar care Index The spare tire should be checked periodically for
condition and inflation. Spare tire will age and become
worn over time even if never used, and thus should be
inspected and replaced when necessary.Battery
Important!
Battery replacement information:
The maintenance-free battery is located in the trunk
under the right-hand wheel well cover panel.
The service life of the battery is dependent on its
condition of charge. The battery should always be kept
sufficiently charged, in order to last an optimum length
of time.
Wa r n i n g !
Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires can
result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they
are more likely to become punctured or damaged
by road debris, potholes etc.. Follow recommended
inflation pressures.Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified
vehicle capacity weight (as indicated by the label
on the driver’s door latch post). Overloading the
tires can overheat them, possibly causing a
blowout.
Wa r n i n g !
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
severe injury or death.Never lean over batteries while connecting, you
might get injured.Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow
this fluid to come in contact with eyes, skin or
clothing. In case it does, immediately flush affected
area with water and seek medical help if necessary.A battery will also produce hydrogen gas, which is
flammable and explosive. Keep flames or sparks
away from battery, avoid improper connection of
jumper cables, smoking etc..
