Operation Driving instructions Parking Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by law. These indicators are located in six places on the tread circumference and become visible at a tread depth of approximately 1/16 in (1.6 mm), at which point the tire is considered worn and should be replaced. The treadwear indicator appears as a solid band across the tread. Warning! G Turn the SmartKey or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* to starter switch position 0 and remove, or press the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button. Take the SmartKey or the SmartKey with KEYLESS-GO* with you and lock the vehicle when leaving. Do not park this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as grass, hay or leaves can come into contact with the hot exhaust system, as these materials could be ignited and cause a vehicle fire. To reduce the risk of personal injury, or damage to the vehicle drivetrain, as a result of inadvertent vehicle movement, before turning off the engine and leaving the vehicle always: Keep right foot on brake pedal. Engage electronic parking brake. Shift the automatic transmission to P. Slowly release brake pedal. When parked on an incline, turn front wheels towards the road curb. Tires Warning! G Warning! G If you feel a sudden significant vibration or ride disturbance, or you suspect that possible damage to your vehicle has occurred, you should turn on the hazard warning flashers, carefully slow down, and drive with caution to an area which is a safe distance from the road. Inspect the tires and the vehicle underbody for possible damage. If the vehicle or tires appear unsafe, have the vehicle towed to the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center or tire dealer for repairs. Although the applicable federal motor vehicle safety laws consider a tire to be worn when the treadwear indicators (TWI) become visible at approximately 1/16 in (1.6 mm), we recommend that you do not allow your tires to wear down to that level. As tread depth approaches 1/8 in (3 mm), the adhesion properties on a wet road are sharply reduced. Depending upon the weather and/or road surface (conditions), the tire traction varies widely. 502

Parking

Tires

Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by

law. These indicators are located in six

places on the tread circumference and be-

come visible at a tread depth of approxi-

mately

in (1.6 mm), at which point the

tire is considered worn and should be re-

placed.

The treadwear indicator appears as a solid

band across the tread.

Warning!

Do not park this vehicle in areas where com-

bustible materials such as grass, hay or

leaves can come into contact with the hot

exhaust system, as these materials could be

ignited and cause a vehicle fire.

To reduce the risk of personal injury, or

damage to the vehicle drivetrain, as a result

of inadvertent vehicle movement, before

turning off the engine and leaving the vehi-

cle always:

Keep right foot on brake pedal.

Engage electronic parking brake.

Shift the automatic transmission to

Slowly release brake pedal.

When parked on an incline, turn front

wheels towards the road curb.

Turn the SmartKey or the SmartKey

with KEYLESS-GO* to starter switch

position

and remove, or press the

KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button.

Take the SmartKey or the SmartKey with

KEYLESS-GO

with you and lock the

vehicle when leaving.

Warning!

If you feel a sudden significant vibration or

ride disturbance, or you suspect that possi-

ble damage to your vehicle has occurred,

you should turn on the hazard warning flash-

ers, carefully slow down, and drive with cau-

tion to an area which is a safe distance from

the road.

Inspect the tires and the vehicle underbody

for possible damage. If the vehicle or tires

appear unsafe, have the vehicle towed to

the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center or tire

dealer for repairs.

Warning!

Although the applicable federal motor vehi-

cle safety laws consider a tire to be worn

when the treadwear indicators (TWI) be-

come visible at approximately

(1.6 mm), we recommend that you do not al-

low your tires to wear down to that level. As

tread depth approaches

in (3 mm), the

adhesion properties on a wet road are

sharply reduced.

Depending upon the weather and/or road

surface (conditions), the tire traction varies

widely.
