Notes on changing the lights when driving abroad

Vehicles with halogen or static LED headlamps: Changing the headlamps is not necessary. The legal requirements will also be fulfilled in countries with left- and right-hand traffic.

Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres
WARNING Risk of accident from damaged tyres

Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.

As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle.

Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.

Check the wheels and tyres of your vehicle for damage regularly, i.e. at least every two weeks, as well as after driving off-road or on rough roads. Damaged wheels can lead to a loss of tyre pressure.

Look out for the following types of damage, for example:
  • cuts in the tyres

  • punctures in the tyres

  • tears in the tyres

  • bulges on tyres

  • deformation or severe corrosion on wheels

WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to insufficient tyre tread

Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip. The tyre tread is no longer able to dissipate water.

This means that in heavy rain or slush the risk of aquaplaning is increased, in particular where speed is not adapted to suit the conditions.

If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres may exhibit different levels of wear at different locations on the tyre tread.

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.
Conduct the following checks regularly on all wheels, at least once a month or as required, e.g. before a long journey or when driving off-road:
  • check the tyre pressure More

  • check the valve caps

    Valves must be protected from moisture and dirt with valve caps specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.

  • visually inspect the tread depth and the tyre tread across the whole tyre width

    For summer tyres, the minimum tread depth is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.

Removing the warning triangle

The warning triangle is located in the stowage compartment in the front passenger door.

Take warning triangle out of the stowage compartment.
Removing the first-aid kit

The first-aid kit is located in the stowage compartment in the co-driver's door.
