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

insucient tyre tread

Insucient tyre tread will result in reduced

tyre grip.

The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet

roads, especially when the speed of the vehi-

cle 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.

Quick start and Tips

F247 0074 02

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 regu-

larly, at least once a month or as required, for

example, prior to a long journey or driving o-

road:

Check the tyre pressure (/ page 621).

Visually inspect wheels and tyres for damage.

Check the valve caps.

▌Deactivating the function of the key

Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: if you deactivate the

function of the key, the KEYLESS-GO functions are

also deactivated. Access or drive authorization via

KEYLESS-GO is then no longer possible with that

key. Activate the function of the key so that all of

its functions are available once again.

You can also deactivate the key's function to

reduce the key's energy consumption if you do

not use the vehicle or a key for an extended

period of time.

Press and hold the key button ß.

With the key button ß pressed, immedi-

ately press key button Ü twice in quick

succession.

The indicator light of the key lights up once

briey, and then again for longer.

You have the following options to reactivate

the key:

Press any button on the key.

▌Overview of emergency call systems

Both the Mercedes-Benz emergency call system

as well as the 112 emergency call system (EU

eCall) can help to reduce the time between an

accident and the arrival of emergency services at

the site of the accident. They help locate an acci-

dent site in places that are dicult to access.

Both emergency call systems can initiate an emer-

gency call automatically (/ page 545) or man-

ually (/ page 545).

Only make emergency calls if you or others are in

need of rescue. Do not make an emergency call in

the event of a breakdown or a similar situation.

Indicators in the displays

The following messages appear on the central dis-

play or the media display of both emergency call

systems:

SOS NOT READY: the vehicle is not switched

on or the emergency call system is malfunc-

tioning. This does not necessarily indicate

complete failure of the emergency call system.

Emergency calls can still be transmitted.

The display only refers to the vehicle and does

not take account of the availability of mobile

phone networks and the Mercedes-Benz emer-

gency call centre.

The functional readiness of the emergency call

system on the vehicle can be seen when the

SOS NOT READY display disappears once the

vehicle is switched on.
