Towing with the front or rear axle
raised
General notes
!The ignition must be switched off if the vehi-
cle is being towed with the front or rear axle
raised. Otherwise, ESP
®may intervene and
damage the brake system.
!Always use new bolts when installing the
propeller shafts.
iOnly have the propeller shafts installed and
removed by qualified, skilled personnel.
Observe the following before towing a vehicle
with a raised front or rear axle:
Rthe information on towing in the event of mal-
functions (Ypage 240) and
Rthe important safety notes (Ypage 239).
If the front axle is damaged, raise the vehicle at
the front axle and if the rear axle is damaged,
raise the vehicle at the rear axle.
Towing
If the front axle is raised, the vehicle may be
towed a maximum of 30 miles (50 km). For a
towing distance of over 30 miles (50 km), the
propeller shafts to the driven axles must be
removed.
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
XDepress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
XShift the automatic transmission to position
N.
XTurn the key to position 1in the ignition lock
and leave it in this position.
XSwitch on the hazard warning lamps
(Ypage 83).
XRelease the brake pedal.
XRelease the parking brake.
XIf the front axle is raised, do not exceed the
towing speed of 30 mph (50 km/h) and the
towing distance of 30 miles (50 km).
Towing the vehicle with both axles on
the ground
Important safety notes
GWARNING
You can no longer steer the vehicle if the
steering wheel lock has been engaged. There
is a risk of an accident.
Always switch off the ignition when towing the
vehicle with a tow cable or a tow bar.
!Do not exceed a towing speed of 31 mph
(50 km/h). You could otherwise damage the
transmission.
iOnly have the propeller shafts fitted and
removed by qualified, skilled personnel.
Before towing the vehicle, observe the follow-
ing:
Rthe information on towing in the event of mal-
functions (Ypage 240) and
Rthe important safety notes (Ypage 239).
Towing
You may only tow the vehicle a maximum dis-
tance of 30 miles (50 km). For a towing distance
of over 30 miles (50 km), the propeller shafts to the driven axles must be removed.
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
XDepress the brake pedal and keep it
depressed.
XShift the automatic transmission to position
N.
XRelease the brake pedal.
XRelease the parking brake.
XLeave the key in position 2in the ignition lock.

(Ypage 83).
XDo not exceed the towing speed of 30 mph
(50 km/h) and the towing distance of
30 miles (50 km).
Recovering a vehicle that is stuck
!
When recovering a vehicle that has become
stuck, pull it as smoothly and evenly as pos-
sible. Excessive tractive power could damage
the vehicles.

Tire pressuredisplay
Using the steering wheel buttons
XTurn the key to position 2in the ignition lock.
XPress the VorU button repeatedly
until the standard display is shown
(
Ypage 164).
XPress the 9or: button repeatedly
until the current pressure of the individual
tires is shown in the display.
If the vehicle is parked for longer than
20 minutes or you then drive at less than 18 mph
(30 km/h), the Tire pres. displayed
after driving for several minutesmes-
sage appears.
iThe tire pressure value shown in the display
may differ from those measured at a gas sta-
tion using a pressure gage. The on-board
computer will generally give you a more exact
value.
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 197) 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 173).
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 197) 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 173).
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, the
currently set tire pressures 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 246).
Observe the notes on tire pressure when
doing so (
Ypage 246).
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 key 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 pressure measured for the individual wheels are stored as the new ref-
erence values, provided that the tire pressure
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.
