! Because the ESC operates automatically,
the engine and ignition must be shut off (SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1 or KEYLESS-GO start/stop button in position 0 or 1) when the vehicle is being towed with one axle raised. Active braking action through the ESC may otherwise seriously damage the brake system which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Towing with all wheels on the ground G Warning! If circumstances require towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, always tow with a tow bar if: Rthe engine will not run Rthere is a malfunction in the brake system Rthere is a malfunction in the power supply
or in the vehicle’s electrical system
This is necessary to adequately control the towed vehicle. Prior to towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, make sure the SmartKey is in starter switch position 2. If the SmartKey is left in the starter switch position 0 for an extended period of time, it can no longer be turned in the switch. In this case, the steering is locked. To unlock, remove SmartKey from starter switch and reinsert. G Warning! With the engine not running, there is no power assistance for the brake and steering systems. In this case, it is important to keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of effort is necessary to brake and steer the vehicle. Adapt your driving accordingly.
X Make sure the ignition is switched on. X With the vehicle at a standstill, depress the
brake pedal and keep it pressed.

i While being towed with the hazard
warning flasher in use, use the combination switch in the usual manner to signal turns. Only the selected turn signal will operate. Upon canceling the turn signal, the hazard warning flasher will operate again.
Fuses Introduction The electrical fuses in your vehicle serve to switch off malfunctioning power circuits. If a fuse is blown, the components and systems secured by that fuse will stop operating. G Warning! Only use fuses approved by Mercedes-Benz with the specified amperage for the system in question and do not attempt to repair or bridge a blown fuse. Using other than approved fuses or using repaired or bridged fuses may cause an overload leading to a fire, and/or cause damage to electrical components and/or systems. Have the cause determined and remedied by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. A blown fuse must be replaced by an appropriate spare fuse (recognizable by its color or the fuse rating given on the fuse) of the amperage recommended in the fuse chart. Any Mercedes-Benz Center will be glad to advise you on this subject. i In case of a blown fuse contact Roadside
Assistance or an authorized Mercedes- Benz Center.
If a newly inserted fuse blows again, have the cause determined and rectified by an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. The fuse chart is located in the trunk with the vehicle tool kit (Y page 268). The fuse chart explains the fuse allocation and fuse amperages.
Before replacing fuses X Engage the parking brake. X Make sure the automatic transmission is in
park position P. The transmission position indicator in the multifunction display should be on P. X Switch off all electrical consumers. X Turn off the engine. X Remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch.

Rims and tires Notes ! Only use tires which have been tested and
approved by Mercedes-Benz. Tires approved by Mercedes-Benz are developed to provide best possible performance in conjunction with the driving safety systems on your vehicle such as the ABS or the ESC. Tires specially developed for your vehicle and tested and approved by Mercedes- Benz can be identified by finding the following on the tire’s sidewall: RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original
equipment tires
RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original
equipment tires (applicable to selected tire sizes only)
RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires with limited run-flat characteristics) original equipment tires Using tires other than those approved by Mercedes-Benz may result in damage that is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
For information on driving with MOExtended tires, see the “Practical hints” section (Y page 329). i USA only: Vehicles with MOExtended system are not factory-equipped with a TIREFIT kit. When retrofitting with tires that do not have run-flat characteristics, you should also equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit. TIREFIT kits are available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
! Using tires other than those approved by
Mercedes-Benz can have detrimental effects, such as Rpoor handling characteristics Rincreased noise Rincreased fuel consumption

354 Rims and tires
Moreover, tires and rims not approved by Mercedes-Benz may, under load, exhibit dimensional variations and different tire deformation characteristics that could cause them to come into contact with the vehicle body or axle parts. Damage to the tires or the vehicle may be the result.
i Further information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. The Tire and Loading Information placard with the recommended tire inflation pressures for cold tires is located on the driver’s door B-pillar. Supplemental tire inflation pressure information for driving at high speeds or for vehicle loads less than the maximum loaded vehicle condition can be found on the tire inflation pressure label. The tire inflation pressure label is located on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The tire inflation pressure should be checked regularly and should only be adjusted on cold tires.

Viscosity grades for engine oils Using the chart below, select oil viscosity according to the lowest air temperature expected before the next oil change.
Engine oil additives ! Do not blend oil additives with engine oil. They may damage the engine. Damage or malfunctions resulting from blending oil additives are not covered by the Mercedes- Benz Limited Warranty.
Air conditioning refrigerant R134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG lubricating oil are used in the air conditioning system. ! Never use R 12 (CFC) or mineral-based lubricating oil. Otherwise damage to the system will occur.
Brake fluid G Warning! During vehicle operation, the boiling point of the brake fluid is continuously reduced through the absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. Under extremely strenuous operating conditions, this moisture content can lead to the formation of bubbles in the system, thus reducing the system’s efficiency. Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Maintenance Booklet for replacement interval. Only brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz is recommended. Any authorized Mercedes- Benz Center will provide you with additional information.
Premium unleaded gasoline G Warning! Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious personal injury. Never allow sparks, flames or smoking materials near gasoline! Turn off the engine before refueling. Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid inhaling fumes and any skin or clothing contact. Extinguish all smoking materials.
51 Restriction: Only SAE 0W-40/SAE 5W-40 engine oils may be used.
