Sealing tires with TIREFIT E 63 AMG vehicles with foldable third row seat are equipped with TIREFIT. Warning! Keep TIREFIT away from sparks, open flame or heat source. Do not smoke. Small tire punctures, particularly those in the tread, can be sealed with TIREFIT. TIREFIT can be used in ambient tempera- tures down to -4°F (-20°C). 왔 Flat tire Preparing the vehicle 왘 Park the vehicle in a safe distance from moving traffic on a hard, flat surface when possible. 왘 Turn on the hazard warning flasher (컄 page 148). 왘 Turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels are in a straight ahead po- sition. 왘 Set the parking brake (컄 page 62). 왘 Move the gear selector lever to P. Vehicles with SmartKey: 왘 Turn off the engine (컄 page 63). 왘 Remove the SmartKey from the starter switch. 451 Practical hints Flat tire Warning! Warning! i If sealant has leaked out, let it dry. You can then peel it off. TIREFIT is a limited repair device. TIREFIT cannot be used for cuts or punctures larger than approximately 0.16 in (4 mm) and tire damage caused by driving with extremely low tire inflation pressure, or on a flat tire, or a damaged wheel. Do not drive the vehicle under such circum- stances. Contact your nearest Mercedes-Benz Center for assistance or call Roadside Assistance. 왘 Foreign objects (e.g. screws or nails) should not be removed from the tire. 왘 Take TIREFIT, the sticker, and the elec- tric air pump out of the cargo compart- ment. 왘 Attach the sticker where it will be easily seen by the driver on the instrument cluster. Take care not to allow the contents of TIREFIT to come in contact with hair, eyes or clothing. TIREFIT is harmful if inhaled, swal- lowed or absorbed through the skin - causes skin, eye and respiratory irritation. Any contact with eyes or skin should be flushed immediately with plenty of water. If clothing comes in contact with TIREFIT, change clothing as soon as possible. In case of allergic reaction or rash, consult a physician immediately. Warning! Keep TIREFIT out of reach of children. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water and drink plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician immediately.

Practical hints Flat tire After 5 minutes, the pressure gauge must display at least 26 psi (1.8 bar). The air hose can become hot during inflation. Please exercise appropriate caution. 왘 If this tire inflation pressure is not at- tained, turn off the electric air pump, detach the filler hose from the tire valve, and drive vehicle back and forth very slowly approximately 30 ft (10 m). This serves to better distribute the TIREFIT sealant material inside the tire. 왘 Unscrew the air pump’s air hose 5 from flange 6 of the TIREFIT contain- er. 왘 Screw air hose 5 onto tire valve 7. 왘 Inflate the tire again. 컄컄 453 Practical hints Flat tire 컄컄 Warning! If a tire inflation pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar) is not attained, tire is too severely damaged for TIREFIT to provide a reliable tire repair. In this case, TIREFIT cannot properly seal the tire. Do not drive the vehicle. Contact the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center or call Roadside Assistance. 왘 After attaining a tire inflation pressure of 26 psi (1.8 bar), press 0 on electric air pump switch 8. The electric air pump should now be switched off. 왘 Turn the SmartKey in the ignition to position 0 (컄 page 37). or 왘 Press the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button (컄 page 39) on the gear selec- tor lever twice. Do not depress brake pedal. 왘 Detach the electric air pump. The air hose may still be hot. Please ex- ercise appropriate caution. 왘 Place the electric air pump back in the cargo compartment. 왘 Close the cargo compartment. 왘 Drive away immediately. The TIREFIT sealant will distribute itself evenly inside the tire. Warning! Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). A TIREFIT repair is not designed to operate at higher speeds. The sticker must be attached on the instru- ment cluster where it will be easily seen by the driver. Vehicle handling characteristics may change. Adapt your driving accordingly. 왘 After driving vehicle for an initial 10 minutes, check tire inflation pres- sure using the pressure gauge on the air pump. 454 Warning! Warning! Follow recommend tire inflation pressures. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires can result in sudden deflation (blowout) be- cause they are more likely to become punc- tured or damaged by road debris, potholes, etc. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. If tire inflation pressure has fallen below 20 psi (1.3 bar) do not continue to drive the vehicle. Park your vehicle safely away from the road- way and contact the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or Roadside Assistance. 왘 If tire inflation pressure is at least 20 psi (1.3 bar), inflate tire to correct pressure (see placard on the driver’s door B-pillar), and drive to the nearest qualified workshop, e.g. an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center to have the damaged tire replaced. Recommended duration of use: A maximum of 300 miles (500 km) at or below 50 mph (80 km/h) with the recommended tire inflation pressure. Practical hints Flat tire 왘 Visit an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible to obtain a new TIREFIT kit. 왘 Bring used TIREFIT materials to an au- thorized Mercedes-Benz Center for proper disposal. Warning! Do not exceed vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). A TIREFIT repair is not designed to operate at higher speeds. The sticker must be attached on the instru- ment cluster where it will be easily seen by the driver. Vehicle handling characteristics may change. Adapt your driving accordingly. 왘 Replace your TIREFIT container every four years. Replacement containers are available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. 455 Practical hints Flat tire Mounting the spare wheel Warning! The dimensions of the spare wheel (Minispare or collapsible tire) are different from those of the road wheels. As a result, the vehicle handling characteristics change when driving with a spare wheel mounted. Adapt your driving style accordingly. The spare wheel is for temporary use only. When driving with spare wheel mounted, ensure proper tire pressure and do not ex- ceed a vehicle speed of 50 mph (80 km/h). Drive to the nearest Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible to have the spare wheel replaced with a regular road wheel. Never operate the vehicle with more than one spare wheel mounted. Do not switch off the ESP® when a Minispare wheel or spare wheel with collapsible tire is mounted. 456 Preparing the vehicle Prepare the vehicle as described (컄 page 451).

Failure to follow these directions will cause damage to the electronic components, and can lead to a battery explosion and severe injury or death. Never lean over batteries while connecting or jump starting, you might get injured. Battery fluid contains sulfuric acid. Do not allow this fluid to come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing. In case it does, immediately flush affected area with water, and seek medical help if necessary. A battery will also produce hydrogen gas, which is flammable and very explosive. Keep flames or sparks away from battery, avoid improper connection of jumper cables, smoking, etc. Attempting to jump start a frozen battery can result in it exploding, causing personal injury. Read all instructions before proceeding. 466 ! Do not tow-start the vehicle. ! Jump starting may only be performed on the designated jump start terminals located in the engine compartment (컄 page 467). Avoid repeated and lengthy starting attempts. Do not attempt to start the engine using a bat- tery quick charge unit. If the engine does not run after several unsuc- cessful starting attempts, have it checked at the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Excessive unburned fuel generated by repeated failed starting attempts may damage the catalyt- ic converter. Make sure the jumper cables do not have loose or missing insulation. Make sure the cable clamps do not touch any other metal part while the other end is still at- tached to a battery. If the battery is discharged, the engine can be started with jumper cables and the bat- tery of another vehicle. Observe the follow- ing: 앫 Jump starting should only be performed when the engine and catalytic converter are cold. 앫 Do not start the engine if the battery is frozen. Let the battery thaw out first. 앫 Only jump start from batteries with the same voltage rating (12 V). Jump start- ing with a higher voltage battery could damage the vehicle’s electrical system, which will not be covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. 앫 Only use jumper cables with sufficient cross-section and insulated terminal clamps. 앫 Always make sure the jumper cables are not on or near pulleys, fans or other parts that move when the engine is started or running. Warning! Keep flames or sparks away from battery. Do not smoke. Observe all safety instructions and precau- tions when handling automotive batteries (컄 page 330). The jump-start contacts are located in the engine compartment. 왘 Make sure the two vehicles do not touch. 왘 Turn off all electrical consumers. 왘 Apply the parking brake (컄 page 62). 왘 Make sure the gear selector lever is set to position P. 왘 Open the hood (컄 page 324). 1 Negative (-) terminal 2 Cover of positive (+) terminal 왘 Open cover of the positive terminal. 왘 Connect positive terminal 2 and the positive terminal of the charged battery with the jumper cable.

This method is pref- erable to other types of towing. ! Do not tow-start the vehicle. ! Use flatbed or wheel lift/dolly equipment with SmartKey in starter switch turned to position 0. Do not tow with sling-type equipment. Towing with sling-type equipment over bumpy roads will damage radiator and supports. To prevent damage during transport, do not tie down vehicle by its chassis or suspension parts. Switch off the tow-away alarm and the automatic central locking. ! Vehicles with 4MATIC: Do not tow with one axle raised. Doing so could damage the transfer case, which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. All wheels must be on or off the ground. Observe instructions for towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground. 468 When circumstances do not permit the recommended towing methods, the vehi- cle may be towed with all wheels on the ground or front wheels raised (except vehi- cles with 4MATIC) only so far as necessary to have the vehicle moved to a safe loca- tion where the recommended towing methods can be employed. Warning! If circumstances require towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, always tow with a tow bar if: 앫 the engine will not run 앫 there is a malfunction in the brake system 앫 there is a malfunction in the power sup- ply or in the vehicle’s electrical system as that will be necessary to adequately con- trol the towed vehicle. Prior to towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, make certain the SmartKey is in starter switch position 2. If the SmartKey is left in the starter switch position 0 for an extended period of time, it can no longer be turned in the switch. In this case, the steering is locked. To unlock, re- move SmartKey from starter switch and re- insert. Warning! With the engine not running, there is no power assistance for the brake and steering systems. In this case, it is important to keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of effort is necessary to brake and steer the ve- hicle. Adapt your driving accordingly. ! If the vehicle is towed with the front axle raised (not permissible for vehicles with 4MATIC), the gear selector lever must be in position N and the engine must be shut off (SmartKey in starter switch position 0 or 1). Active braking action through the ESP® may otherwise seriously damage the brake system. When towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, the gear selector lever must be in position N and the SmartKey must be in starter switch position 2. When towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground or the front axle raised, the vehicle may be towed only for distances up to 30 miles (50 km) and at a speed not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). ! Towing of the vehicle should only be done using the properly installed towing eye bolt. Never attach tow cable, tow rope or tow rod to the vehicle chassis, frame or suspension parts. i When towing the vehicle with all wheels on the ground, please note the following: With the automatic central locking activated and the SmartKey in starter switch position 2, or KEYLESS-GO* start/stop button in position 2, the vehicle doors lock if the left front wheel as well as the right rear wheel are turning at vehicle speeds of approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or more. To prevent the vehicle door locks from locking, deactivate the automatic central locking (컄 page 126). i To signal turns while being towed with the hazard warning flasher in use, turn SmartKey in starter switch to position 2 and activate the combination switch for the left or right turn sig- nal in the usual manner – only the selected turn signal will operate. Upon canceling the turn signal, the hazard warn- ing flasher will operate again. Practical hints Towing the vehicle i The gear selector lever will remain locked in position P and the SmartKey will not turn in the starter switch if the battery is disconnected or discharged. For more information, see “Batter- ies” (컄 page 462) and “Jump starting” (컄 page 466).

Therefore, only use approved engine oils and oil filters required for vehicles with Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS PLUS (Canada vehicles). For a listing of approved engine oils and oil filters, refer to the Factory Approved Service Products pamphlet (USA only), or contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. ! Using engine oils and oil filters of specifica- tion other than those expressly required for the Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS PLUS (Canada vehicles), or changing of oil and oil filter at change intervals longer than those called for by the Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS PLUS (Canada vehicles) will result in engine or emission control system damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Please follow Maintenance System (U.S. vehicles) or FSS PLUS (Canada vehicles) recommendations for scheduled oil changes. Failure to do so will result in engine or emission control system damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Engine oil additives Do not blend oil additives with engine oil. They may damage the engine. Damage or malfunctions resulting from blending oil additives are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Air conditioning refrigerant R-134a (HFC) refrigerant and special PAG lubricating oil are used in the air conditioning system. Never use R-12 (CFC) or mineral-based lubricating oil. Otherwise damage to the system will occur. Brake fluid Warning! During vehicle operation, the boiling point of the brake fluid is continuously reduced through the absorption of moisture from the atmosphere. Under extremely strenuous operating conditions, this moisture content can lead to the formation of bubbles in the system, thus reducing the system’s efficiency. Therefore, the brake fluid must be replaced regularly. Refer to your vehicle’s Maintenance Booklet for replacement interval. Only brake fluid approved by Mercedes-Benz is recommended. Your au- thorized Mercedes-Benz Center will pro- vide you with additional information. 489 Technical data Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc. Premium unleaded gasoline Warning! Gasoline is highly flammable and poisonous. It burns violently and can cause serious per- sonal injury. Never allow sparks, flame or smoking mate- rials near gasoline! Turn off the engine before refueling. Whenever you are around gasoline, avoid in- haling fumes and skin or clothing contact, extinguish all smoking materials. Direct skin contact with fuels and the inha- lation of fuel vapors can damage your health. ! To maintain the engine’s durability and per- formance, premium unleaded gasoline must be used. If premium unleaded gasoline is not avail- able and low octane fuel is used, follow these precautions: 앫 Have the fuel tank only partially filled with unleaded regular gasoline and fill up with premium unleaded gasoline as soon as possible. 앫 Avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration. 앫 Do not exceed an engine speed of 3000 rpm if the vehicle is loaded with a light load such as two persons and no luggage. 앫 Do not exceed 2/3 of maximum accelerator pedal position if the vehicle is fully loaded or operating in mountainous terrain. Fuel requirements Only use premium unleaded fuel: 앫 The octane number (posted at the pump) must be 91 min. It is an average of both the Research Octane Number (RON) and the Motor Octane Number (MON): (RON+MON)/2). This is also known as the ANTI-KNOCK INDEX. Unleaded gasoline containing oxygenates such as ethanol, IPA, IBA and TBA can be used provided the ratio of any one of these oxygenates to gasoline does not exceed 10%; MTBE must not exceed 15%. The ratio of methanol to gasoline must not exceed 3% plus additional cosolvents. Using mixtures of ethanol and methanol is not allowed. Gasohol, which contains 10% ethanol and 90% unleaded gasoline, can be used. These blends must also meet all other fuel requirements, such as resistance to spark knock, boiling range, vapor pressure, etc. 490 Technical data Fuels, coolants, lubricants etc. Gasoline additives A major concern among engine manufacturers is carbon build-up caused by gasoline. Mercedes-Benz recommends only the use of quality gasoline containing additives that prevent the build-up of carbon deposits. After an extended period of using fuels without such additives, carbon deposits can build up, especially on the intake valves and in the combustion area, leading to engine performance problems such as: 앫 Warm-up hesitation 앫 Unstable idle 앫 Knocking/pinging 앫 Misfire 앫 Power loss In areas where carbon deposits may be encountered due to lack of availability of gasolines which contain these additives, Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of additives approved by us for use on Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Refer to Factory Approved Service Products pamphlet (USA only) or contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center for a listing of approved product(s). Follow directions on product label. Do not blend other fuel additives with fuel. This only results in unnecessary cost and may be harmful to the engine operation. ! Damage or malfunction resulting from poor fuel quality or from blending additional fuel additives other than those tested and approved by us for use on Mercedes-Benz vehicles are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. For a listing of approved products, refer to the Factory Approved Service Products pamphlet (USA only) or contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Coolants The engine coolant is a mixture of water and anticorrosion/antifreeze, which pro- vides: 앫 Corrosion protection 앫 Freeze protection 앫 Boiling protection (by increasing the boiling point) The cooling system was filled at the factory with a coolant providing freeze protection to approximately -35°F (-37°C) and corro- sion protection.
