Tire pressure loss warning system
Vehicles with steering wheel buttons
If the tire pressure monitor detects a pressure
loss in one or more tires, the on-board computer
displays the yellow Tire
pres.Adjustpres.warning message. The htire pressure loss
warning lamp in the instrument cluster
(
Ypage 202) flashes for about 60 seconds and
then remains lit.
The pressure of the affected tire is highlighted in
yellow in the on-board computer (
Ypage 176).
If the tire pressure monitor detects a significant
pressure loss in one or more tires, the on-board
computer displays the red Tire pres.
Warn‐ingTiredefectwarning message. Theh
tire pressure loss warning lamp in the instru-
ment cluster (
Ypage 202) flashes for about 60
seconds and then remains lit. An additional
warning tone sounds.
The pressure of the affected tire is highlighted in
yellow in the on-board computer (
Ypage 176).
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, the
currently set tire pressure are taken as refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the tire pressure monitor detects
the new reference values automatically, e.g.
after you have:
Rchanged the tire pressure
Rchanged wheels or tires
Rinstalled new wheels or tires
However, you can also define reference values
manually as described here.
Before restarting the tire pressure monitor:
XSet the tire pressure to the value recommen- ded on the Tire and Loading Information plac-
ard or the tire pressure table on the B-pillar on
the driver's side (
Ypage 250).
Observe the notes on tire pressure when
doing so (
Ypage 250).
XMake sure that the tire pressure is correct on
all four wheels.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor (vehi-
cles without steering wheel buttons):
XTurn the SmartKey to position 2in the ignition
lock.
XPress the 4menu button on the instrument
cluster repeatedly until the display shows the
following message:
+CAL- TPMS
XPress the fbutton on the instrument clus-
ter.
The display shows:
OK TPMS
The tire pressure monitor activation process
has begun. The tire pressures measured for
the individual wheels are stored as the new
reference values, provided that the tire pres-
sure monitor considers them to be plausible.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
XPress the gbutton or the 4menu button on
the instrument cluster.
The activation process is canceled automati-
cally if 30 seconds elapse without input.

Raising the vehicle
GWARNING
If you do not position the jack correctly at the
appropriate jacking point of the vehicle, the
jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.
There is a risk of injury.
Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-
ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack
must be positioned vertically, directly under
the jacking point of the vehicle.
GWARNING
On uphill and downhill slopes, the jack could
tip over with the vehicle raised. There is a risk
of injury.
Do not change wheels on uphill or downhill
gradients. Notify a qualified specialist work-
shop.
!Only position the jack on the jacking points
intended for this purpose. You could other-
wise damage the vehicle.
Observe the following when raising the vehicle:
RWhen raising the vehicle, only use the jack
which Mercedes-Benz has specifically
approved for your vehicle.
RThe vehicle's jack is intended only to raise the
vehicle for a short time when changing a
wheel. It is not suited for performing mainte-
nance work under the vehicle.
RAvoid changing the wheel on uphill and down- hill slopes.
RBefore raising the vehicle, secure it from roll-
ing away by applying the parking brake and
inserting wheel chocks. Never disengage the
parking brake while the vehicle is raised.
RThe jack must be placed on a firm, flat and
non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a large,
load-bearing underlay must be used. On a
slippery surface, a non-slip underlay must be
used, e.g. rubber mats.
RMake sure that the distance between the
underside of the tires and the ground does not
exceed 1.2 in(3 cm).
RNever place your hands or feet under the
ra
ised vehicle.
RNever lie under the raised vehicle.
RNever start the engine when the vehicle is
raised.
RNever open or close a door when the vehicle
is raised.
RMake sure that no persons are present in the
vehicle when the vehicle is raised.
!Only use the jack pump lever middle rod and
the rod with the largest diameter as a lug
wrench extension. Only slide the middle rod
as far as it will go onto the lug wrench. The
rods may otherwise bend and be distorted to
such an extent that they can no longer be
used as a pump lever for the jack.
!Do not place the jack on the leaf spring or
the differential case.

checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
!Only use the jack pump lever middle rod and
the rod with the largest diameter as a lug
wrench extension. Only slide the middle rod
as far as it will go onto the lug wrench. The
rods may otherwise bend and be distorted to
such an extent that they can no longer be
used as a pump lever for the jack.
!Vehicles with Super Single tires: if you
install the spare wheel, do not exceed the
maximum speed of 40 mph (60 km/h) and do
not drive further than 65 miles(100 km).

General notes
!
Check the spare wheel regularly to see that
it is secure and has the prescribed tire pres-
sure.
The procedure for mounting the spare wheel is
described in "Mounting a wheel" (
Ypage 267).
The following should be checked regularly, par-
ticularly prior to long journeys:
Rthe tire pressure of the spare wheel, which
should then be corrected if necessary
(
Ypage 250).
Rthe fastenings of the spare wheel bracket.
The spare wheel is located in a spare wheel
bracket under the rear of the vehicle.
Replace the tires after 6 years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare
wheel.
iIf you have mounted a spare wheel, the tire
pressure monitor (Ypage 253) will not func-
tion for this wheel. The spare wheel is not
equipped with a sensor for monitoring tire
pressure.
