To avoid damaging the vehicle, deactivate

these systems e.g. during towing or in the car

wash.

NOTE Damage due to unsuitable car wash

Before driving into a car wash make sure

that the car wash is suitable for the vehi-

cle dimensions.

Ensure there is sucient ground clear-

ance between the underbody and the

guide rails of the car wash.

Ensure that the clearance width of the

car wash, in particular the width of the

guide rails, is sucient.

To avoid damage to your vehicle when using a car

wash, ensure the following beforehand:

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is deactiva-

ted.

the HOLD function is switched o.

the 360° Camera or the reversing camera is

switched o.

the side windows and sliding sunroof are com-

pletely closed.

the outside mirrors are folded in.

the blower for the ventilation and heating is

switched o.

the windscreen wiper switch is in position g.

the key is at a minimum distance of 3 m away

from the vehicle. Otherwise the tailgate could

open unintentionally.

for car washes with a conveyor system:

neutral i is engaged.

If you would like to leave the vehicle while

it is being washed, make sure the key is

located in the vehicle. The park position

j is otherwise automatically engaged.

To prevent damage to the tyres and wheels,

drive straight and in to the centre of the guide

rails of the car wash.

If, aer the car wash, you remove the wax

from the windscreen and wiper rubbers, this

will prevent smearing and reduce wiper noise.

Preparing for a holiday

Notes on adjusting the lights when driving abroad

Vehicles with static LED headlamps: it is not nec-

essary to convert the headlamps. The legal

requirements are also met in countries in which

trac drives on the other side of the road.

Vehicles with MULTIBEAM LED: the headlamps

are automatically adjusted when the vehicle

enters countries in which trac drives on the

other side of the road.

In the following cases, check the headlamp set-

ting and change it manually if necessary:

If the

Dipped-beam setting (left/right-side

traffic) Manual adjustment only

display mes-

sage is displayed.

If the

Check dipped-beam setting (left/right-

side traffic)

display message is displayed.

Once the headlamps have been converted:

Oncoming trac will not be dazzled.

The edge of the road will not be illuminated as

far or as high.

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. There is a risk of an accident.

On a wet road surface the risk of aquaplaning

is increased, in particular where speed is not

adapted to suit the conditions.

Check the tread depth and the condition

of the tyre contact surface across the

entire width of all tyres on a regular

basis.

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.

Replace the tyres immediately if 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 682).

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.

on the door shelves of all doors for storing a high-

Luggage and loading

Attaching a roof luggage rack

WARNING Risk of accident due to exceed-

ing the maximum roof load

The vehicle centre of gravity and the usual

driving characteristics as well as the steering

and braking characteristics alter.

If you exceed the maximum roof load, the driv-

ing characteristics, as well as steering and

braking, will be greatly impaired.

Never exceed the maximum roof load

and adjust your driving style.

You will nd information on the maximum roof

load in the "Technical data" section in the printed

Owner's Manual.

NOTE Damage to the vehicle due to not

observing the maximum permitted head-

room clearance

If the vehicle height is greater than the maxi-

mum permitted headroom clearance, the roof

and other parts of the vehicle may be dam-

aged.

Observe the signposted headroom clear-

ance.

If the vehicle height is greater than the

permitted headroom clearance, do not

enter.

Observe the changed vehicle height with

add-on roof equipment.

NOTE Damage to the panorama sliding

sunroof due to non-approved roof luggage

racks

The panorama sliding sunroof may be dam-

aged by the roof luggage rack if you attempt to

open it when using a roof luggage rack not

tested and approved for Mercedes-Benz.

When a roof luggage rack is tted, open

the panorama sliding sunroof only if this
