Vehicle care219The driver is responsible for correct
adjustment of tyre pressure.9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
9 Warning
For specific tyres the
recommended tyre pressure as
shown in the tyre pressure table may exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Never exceed the maximum tyre
pressure as indicated on the tyre.
Temperature dependency
The tyre pressure depends on the
temperature of the tyre. During
driving, tyre temperature and
pressure increase. Tyre pressure
values provided on the tyre
information label and tyre pressure
chart are valid for cold tyres, which means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly
10 kPa for a 10 °C temperature
increase. This must be considered
when warm tyres are checked.
Tyre deflation detectionsystem
The tyre deflation detection system
continually checks the rotation speed
of all four wheels and warns on low
tyre pressure condition once vehicle
is driving. This is achieved by
comparing tyre rolling circumference
with reference values and further
signals.
If a tyre loses pressure the control
indicator w illuminates and a warning
message is displayed in the Driver Information Centre.
In this case reduce speed, avoid
sharp cornering and strong braking.
Stop at next safe opportunity and
check tyre pressure.
Control indicator w 3 97.After adjusting tyre pressure initialise
system to extinguish the control
indicator and restart system.Caution
Deflation detection system warns
just about low tyre pressure
condition and does not replace
regular tyre maintenance by the
driver.
In case of a system malfunction a
message is displayed in the Driver
Information Centre. Set correct tyre
pressure and reinitialise system. If the
failure continues to be displayed,
contact a workshop. The system is
inoperable when ABS or ESC has a
malfunction or a temporary spare
wheel is used. Once the road tyre has
been refitted, check the tyre pressure with cold tyres and initialise the
system.

220Vehicle careSystem initialisation
After tyre pressure correction or
wheel change, the system must be
initialised to learn new circumference reference values:
1. Always ensure that all four tyres have correct tyre pressure3 253.
2. Apply parking brake. 3. Press w to reset deflation
detection system.
4. Reset is confirmed by pop-up indication.
After initialisation system
automatically calibrates to new tyre
pressures during driving. After longer
drive the system will adopt and
monitor new pressures.
Always check tyre pressure with cold
tyres.
System has to be reinitialised when: ● Tyre pressure has been changed
● Load condition has been changed
● Wheels have been swapped or exchanged
The system will not warn
instantaneously on a tyre blow out or
a rapid deflation. This is due to
required calculation time.
Tread depthCheck tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).For safety reasons, it is
recommended that the tread depth of
the tyres on one axle should not vary
by more than 2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels periodically. Ensure that
the direction of rotation of the wheels
remains the same.

Vehicle care221Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the tyre
deflation detection system and make
other vehicle modifications.
Tyre deflation detection system
3 219.
Have the label with tyre pressures
replaced.9 Warning
The use of unsuitable tyres or
wheels may lead to accidents and will invalidate the vehicle
operating permit.
Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Vehicles with steel wheels: When
using locking wheel nuts, do not
attach wheel covers.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that add no more than 9 mm to the tyre tread
and the inboard sides (including chain
lock).
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Tyre chains are permitted on tyres of
size 215/70R16, 215/65 R17,
225/55 R18 and 205/55 R19.

222Vehicle careTemporary spare wheel
The use of tyre chains is not permitted
on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.9 Warning
Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be
affected.
In the case of a flat tyre:
Apply the parking brake and engage
first gear, reverse gear or P.
The tyre repair kit is in the load
compartment below the floor cover.
1. Remove the sealant bottle and the
compressor.
2. Pull speed limit label from sealant
bottle and place it in driver's
visible area.3. Remove the electrical connection cable and air hose from the
stowage compartments on the
underside of the compressor.

Vehicle care2234.Screw the compressor air hose to
the connection on the sealant
bottle.
5. Fit the sealant bottle into the bracket on the compressor.
Set the compressor near the tyre
in such a way that the sealant
bottle is upright.
6. Unscrew valve cap from defective
tyre.
7. Screw the filler hose to the tyre valve.
8. The switch on the compressor must be set to J.
9. Connect the compressor plug to
the power outlet or cigarette
lighter socket.
The tyre repair kit may only be
plugged in to the front 12 V power
outlet, in order to work properly.
To avoid discharging the battery,
we recommend running the
engine.
10. Set the rocker switch on the compressor to I. The tyre is filled
with sealant.
11. The compressor pressure gauge briefly indicates up to
600 kPa (6 bar) whilst the sealant
bottle is emptying (approx.
30 seconds). Then the pressure
starts to drop.
12. All of the sealant is pumped into the tyre. Then the tyre is being
inflated.
13. The prescribed tyre pressure should be obtained within
10 minutes.
Tyre pressure 3 253.
When the correct pressure is
obtained, switch off the
compressor.
If the prescribed tyre pressure is
not obtained within 10 minutes,
remove the tyre repair kit. Move
the vehicle one tyre rotation.
Reattach the tyre repair kit and
continue the filling procedure for 10 minutes. If the prescribed tyre
pressure is still not obtained, the
tyre is too badly damaged. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.

224Vehicle care
Drain excess tyre pressure with
the button on the air hose.
Do not run the compressor longer
than 10 minutes.
14. Detach the tyre repair kit. Remove
sealant bottle from bracket. Screw
the filler hose to the free connection of the sealant bottle.
This prevents sealant from
escaping. Stow tyre repair kit in
load compartment.
15. Remove any excess sealant using a cloth.16. Continue driving immediately sothat sealant is evenly distributed
in the tyre. After driving approx.
5 km but no more than
10 minutes, stop and check tyre
pressure. Screw compressor air
hose directly onto tyre valve when doing this. Fill tyre as described
before. Drain excess tyre pressure with the button on the air
hose.
If tyre pressure hasn't decreased under 150 kPa (1.5 bar), set it to
the correct value. Otherwise the
vehicle must not be used. Seek
assistance of a workshop 3 253.
Repeat the checking procedure
once more after driving further
10 km but no more than
10 minutes to check that there is
no more loss of pressure.
If the tyre pressure has fallen
below 150 kPa (1.5 bar), the
vehicle must not be used. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
17. Stow away tyre repair kit in load compartment.
Note
The driving characteristics of the
repaired tyre are severely affected,
therefore have this tyre replaced.
If unusual noise is heard or the
compressor becomes hot, turn
compressor off for at least 30 min.
The built-in safety valve opens at a
pressure of 700 kPa (7 bar).
Note the expiry date of the kit. After
this date its sealing capability is no
longer guaranteed. Pay attention to
storage information on sealant
bottle.

Vehicle care225Replace the used sealant bottle.
Dispose of the bottle as prescribed
by applicable laws.
The compressor and sealant can be
used from approx. -30 °C.
Wheel changing Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
● If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the wheel to be changed.
● Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or
P .
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up.
● No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.● Never crawl under a jacked-upvehicle.
● Do not start the vehicle when it is
raised on the jack.
● Before screwing in the wheel bolts, clean them.9Warning
Do not grease wheel bolts.
Tightening torques
Caution
If the vehicle is equipped with alloy
wheels, tighten the wheel bolts
manually at least for the first five
turns.
There are two different types of
wheels with two different bolts and tightening torques.
Tightening torque for alloy wheels is
100 Nm.
Tightening torque for steel wheels is
115 Nm.
Use the correct wheel bolts for the respective wheels.
Jacking positions The jacking positions shown refer to
the use of lifting arms and accessory
jacks used for changing winter /
summer tyres.

226Vehicle care
Rear arm position of the lifting
platform centrically under the relevant vehicle jacking point.
Front arm position of the lifting
platform centrically under the relevant vehicle jacking point.
Spare wheel The spare wheel can be classified as
a temporary spare wheel depending
on the size compared to the other
mounted wheels and country
regulations. In this case a permissible maximum speed applies, even
though no label at the spare wheel
indicates this.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. Do not drive faster than
80 km/h. Take curves slowly. Do not
use for a long period of time.Caution
The use of a spare wheel that is smaller than the other wheels or in combination with winter tyres
could affect driveability. Have the defective tyre replaced as soon as
possible.
The spare wheel is located in the load
compartment beneath the floor
covering.
To remove: 1. Open the floor cover 3 73.
2. Remove the tool box.
3. The temporary spare wheel is secured with a wing nut. Unscrew
nut and take out the spare wheel.

Vehicle care2274. When, after a wheel change, nowheel is placed in the spare wheelwell, secure the tool box by
tightening the wing nut as far as it will go and close floor cover.
5. After wheel change back to full size wheel, place the temporary
spare wheel outside up in the well
and secure with the wing nut.
Only mount one temporary spare
wheel. The permissible maximum
speed on the label on the temporary
spare wheel is only valid for the
factory-fitted tyre size.
Fitting the spare wheel
Make the following preparations and
observe the following information:
● Park the vehicle on a level, firm and non-skid surface. The front
wheels must be in the straight-
ahead position.
● If necessary, place a chock under
the wheel diagonally opposite the
wheel to be changed.
● Apply the parking brake and engage first gear, reverse gear or
P .● Remove the spare wheel.
● Never change more than one wheel at once.
● Use the jack only to change wheels in case of puncture, not
for seasonal winter or summer
tyre change.
● The jack is maintenance-free.
● If the ground on which the vehicle
is standing is soft, a solid board
(max. 1 cm thick) should be
placed under the jack.
● Take heavy objects out of the vehicle before jacking up.
● No people or animals may be in the vehicle when it is jacked-up.
● Never crawl under a jacked-up vehicle.
● Do not start the vehicle when it is
raised on the jack.
