Tire Pressure Monitor Active: the teach-in

process of the system is not yet complete. The

tire pressures are already being monitored.

The teach-in process will take longer if you

have engaged the dierential locks. Check the

tire pressure again later.

Compare the tire pressure with the recom-

mended tire pressure for the current operating

condition (/ page 350). Additionally, observe

the notes on cold tires (/ page 348).

The values displayed in the on-board com-

puter may deviate from those of the tire pres-

sure gauge as they refer to sea level. At high

elevations, the tire pressure values indicated

by a pressure gauge will be higher than those

shown by the on-board computer. In this case,

do not reduce the tire pressure.

▌Restarting the tire pressure monitoring system

Requirements

The recommended tire pressure is correctly

set for the respective operating status on all of

the wheels (/ page 348).

Restart the tire pressure monitoring system in the

following situations:

The tire pressure has changed.

The wheels or tires have been changed or

newly tted.

On-board computer:

message will be shown on the

instrument display.

To restart, press Touch Control on the le-

hand side of the steering wheel.

The Tire Press. Monitor Restarted message

will be shown on the instrument display.

Current warning messages will be deleted and

the yellow h warning lamp will go out.

Aer you have been driving for a few minutes,

the system will check whether the current tire

pressures are within the specied range. The

current tire pressures will then be accepted as

reference values and monitored.

Be sure also to pay attention to the following rela-

Notes on Tire and Loading Information placard

WARNING Risk of accident from overloa-

ded tires

Overloaded tires may overheat and burst as a

consequence. Overloaded tires can also

impair the steering and handling characteris-

tics and lead to brake failure.

Observe the load rating of the tires.

The load rating must be at least half the

permissible axle load of the vehicle.

Never overload the tires by exceeding

the maximum load.

The Tire and Loading Information placard is on the

B-pillar on the driver's side of the vehicle.

Tire and Loading Information placard

The data shown in the illustration is example

data.

The Tire and Loading Information placard shows

the following information:

Maximum number of seats

2 according to

the maximum number of people permitted to

travel in the vehicle.

Maximum permissible load

3 comprises the

gross weight of all vehicle occupants, load and

luggage.

Recommended tire pressure

1 for cold tires.

The recommended tire pressures are valid for

the maximum permissible load and up to the

maximum permissible vehicle speed.

Please also note:

Information on permissible weights and loads

on the vehicle identication plate

(/ page 378).

Information on tire pressure in the tire pres-

sure table (/ page 350).

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit

The following steps have been developed as

required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code

of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575, pursuant to

354

Wheels and tires

the "National Trac and Motor Vehicle Safety Act

of 1966".

(1): Locate the statement “The combined

weight of occupants and cargo should never

exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle's

placard.

(2): Determine the combined weight of the

driver and passengers that will be riding in

your vehicle.

(3): Subtract the combined weight of the

driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.

(4): The resulting gure equals the available

amount of cargo and luggage load capacity.

For example, if the "XXX" amount equals

1,400 lbs. and there will be ve 150 lb pas-

sengers in your vehicle, the amount of availa-

ble cargo and luggage load capacity is

650 lbs. (1,400 - 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)

(5): Determine the combined weight of lug-

gage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle.

That weight may not safely exceed the availa-

ble cargo and luggage load capacity calcula-

ted in Step 4.

(6): If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load

from your trailer will be transferred to your

vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how

this reduces the available cargo and luggage

load capacity of your vehicle.

Not all vehicles are permitted to tow a trailer.

Towing a trailer is only permitted if a trailer-

hitch is installed. Please consult an authorized

Mercedes-Benz dealer if you have any ques-

tions about towing a trailer with your vehicle.

Even if you have calculated the total load carefully,

you should still make sure that the maximum per-

missible gross weight and the maximum gross

axle weight rating of your vehicle are not excee-

ded. Details can be found on the vehicle identi-

cation plate.

Have your loaded vehicle – including driver,

occupants and load – weighed on a vehicle

weighbridge.

The measured values may not exceed the

maximum permissible values stated on the

vehicle identication plate.

Calculation example for determining the maximum

load

The following table shows examples of how to cal-

culate total and load capacities with varying seat-

ing congurations and dierent numbers and

sizes of occupants. The following examples use a

maximum load of 1500 lbs (680 kg). This is for

illustration purposes only. Make sure you are

using the actual load limit for your vehicle stated

on your vehicle's Tire and Loading Information

placard (/ page 353).

The higher the weight of all the occupants, the

smaller the maximum load for luggage.
