Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres
WARNING Risk of injury due to damaged tyres

Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.

Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to insufficient tyre tread

Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip.

The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet roads, especially when the speed of the vehicle is not adapted to suit the conditions.

Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tyres.
Minimum tread depth for:
  • Summer tyres: 3 mm

  • M+S tyres: 4 mm

For safety reasons, replace the tyres before the legally-prescribed limit for the minimum tread depth is reached.
Carry out the following checks on all wheels regularly, at least once a month or as required, for example, prior to a long journey or driving off-road:
  • Check the tyre pressure More.

  • Visually inspect wheels and tyres for damage.

  • Check the valve caps.

  • Visual check of the tyre tread depth and the tyre contact surface across the entire width.

    The minimum tread depth for summer tyres is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.

Notes on snow chains
WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect snow chain fitting

If you have fitted snow chains to the front wheels, the snow chains may drag against the vehicle body or chassis components.

This could cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.

Never fit snow chains on the front wheels.
Only fit snow chains on the rear wheels in pairs.
Observe the following notes when using snow chains:
  • Snow chains are only permissible for certain wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain information about this from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

  • For safety reasons, only use snow chains that have been specifically approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or snow chains with the same quality standard.

  • If snow chains are fitted, the maximum permissible speed is 50 km/h.

  • Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: do not use Active Parking Assist when snow chains are fitted.

  • Vehicles with level control: if snow chains are fitted, only drive at raised vehicle level .

You can permanently limit the maximum vehicle speed for driving with winter tyres More.

You can deactivate ESP® to pull away More. This allows the wheels to spin, achieving an increased driving force.

Notes on windscreen washer fluid

Observe the notes on operating fluids More.

WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury due to windscreen washer concentrate

Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.

Make sure that no windscreen washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.
NOTE Damage to the exterior lighting due to unsuitable windscreen washer fluid

Unsuitable windscreen washer fluids may damage the plastic surface of the exterior lighting.

Only use windscreen washer fluids which are also suitable for use on plastic surfaces, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB WinterFit.
NOTEBlocked spray nozzles caused by mixing windscreen washer fluids
Do not mix MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit with other windscreen washer fluids.

Do not use distilled or de-ionised water. Otherwise, the fill level sensor may be triggered erroneously.

Recommended windscreen washer fluid:
  • above freezing point: e.g. MB SummerFit

  • below freezing point: e.g. MB WinterFit

For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the information on the antifreeze container.

Mix washer fluid with windscreen washer fluid all year round.

Topping up the windscreen washer system
WARNING Danger of burns when opening the bonnet

If you open the engine bonnet when the engine has overheated or during a fire in the engine compartment, you could come into contact with hot gases or other escaping operating fluids.

Before opening the bonnet, allow the engine to cool down.
In the event of a fire in the engine compartment, keep the engine bonnet closed and call the fire service.
WARNING Risk of burns from hot component parts in the engine compartment

Certain component parts in the engine compartment can be very hot, e.g. the engine, the cooler and parts of the exhaust system.

Allow the engine to cool down and only touch component parts described in the following.
WARNING Risk of injury due to moving parts

Components in the engine compartment may continue running or start up suddenly, even if the ignition is switched off.

Make sure of the following before performing tasks in the engine compartment:

Switch the ignition off.
Never reach into the danger zone surrounding moving components, e.g. the rotation area of the fan.
Remove jewellery and watches.
Keep items of clothing and hair away from moving parts.
WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury due to windscreen washer concentrate

Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. It could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine component parts or the exhaust system.

Make sure that no windscreen washer concentrate spills out next to the filler opening.
Remove cap by the tab.
Top up the washer fluid.
Replacing the windscreen wiper blades
WARNING Risk of becoming trapped if the windscreen wipers are switched on while wiper blades are being replaced

If the windscreen wipers begin to move while you are changing the wiper blades, you can be trapped by the wiper arm.

Always switch off the windscreen wipers and ignition before changing the wiper blades.
Moving the wiper arms into the replacement position
Switch the ignition on and switch off again immediately.
Within around 15 seconds, press and hold the button on the combination switch for approximately three seconds More.

The wiper arms will move into the replacement position.

Replacing the windscreen wiper blades
Observe the information about the maintenance display.
Maintenance display
Remove protective film from the maintenance display on the tip of the newly fitted wiper blades.

When the colour of the maintenance display changes from black to yellow, the wiper blades should be replaced.

The duration until the colour changes varies depending on the usage conditions.

Switching the stationary heater/ventilation on/off via the air conditioning control panel
DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to poisonous exhaust gases

If the tailpipe is blocked or sufficient ventilation is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehicle. This is the case in enclosed spaces or if the vehicle gets stuck in snow, for example.

Always switch the stationary heater off in enclosed spaces without an air extraction systems, e.g. in garages.
Keep the tailpipe and the area around the vehicle free from snow when the engine or the stationary heater are running.
Open a window on the windward side of the vehicle to ensure an adequate supply of fresh air.
WARNING Risk of fire due to hot stationary heater components and exhaust gases

Flammable materials such as leaves, grass or twigs may ignite.

When the stationary heater is switched on, make sure that:
hot vehicle parts do not come into contact with flammable materials.
the exhaust gas can flow out of the stationary heater exhaust pipe unhindered.
the exhaust gas does not come into contact with flammable materials.
NOTE Battery discharge caused by stationary heater or stationary ventilation operation

Operating the stationary heater or stationary ventilation drains the battery.

After heating or ventilating the vehicle twice, drive for a longer period of time.
Requirements:
  • The fuel tank is filled to at least the reserve level.

Set the desired temperature using the  button.
Press button .

The red or blue indicator lamp on button  will light up or go out.

The colours of the indicator lamp have the following meanings:
  • Blue: stationary ventilation is switched on.

  • Red: the stationary heater is switched on.

  • Yellow: the departure time is preselected.

The stationary heater/ventilation will switch off automatically after 50 minutes.

Operation using the app: the stationary heater/ventilation can also be operated via the Mercedes me connect app. You can find further information in the separate Owner's Manual at Mercedes me connect Interactive Owner's Manual.
