Mercedes-Benz E-Sedan 2010 Owners Manual - Manual (Page 331)

G Warning!
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. The wheels could come
loose if they are not tightened to a torque of
96 lb-ft (130 Nm).
X Fully collapse the jack, with handle folded
in (storage position), see (
Y page 270).
X Store the jack and the other vehicle tools
in the designated storage space.
X E 63 AMG and vehicles with AMG
bodystyling: Reinstall the respective
cover of the door-sill trim.
i Vehicles with Advanced TPMS:
Do not restart the Advanced TPMS until a
full size wheel/tire with functioning sensor
has been placed back into service on the
vehicle.
X Do not exceed the maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
MOExtended system
The MOExtended system allows you to
continue driving your vehicle even if there is
a total loss of pressure in one or more tires.
You may only use the MOExtended system in
conjunction with the tire pressure loss
warning system (
Y page 232) or the
Advanced TPMS ( Y page 233).
The maximum distance in emergency mode
depends on the vehicle’s load. It is 50 miles
(80 km) if the vehicle is partially loaded and
18 miles (30 km) if the vehicle is fully loaded.
The point at which the maximum driving
distance in emergency mode begins is when
the warning message appears in the
multifunction display indicating that there is
a loss of tire inflation pressure.
X Do not exceed the maximum speed of
50 mph (80 km/h).
G Warning!
In emergency mode, your vehicle’s driving
characteristics are diminished in such
situations as:
R driving around curves
R while braking
R while accelerating rapidly
Therefore, your driving style must be adapted
accordingly. Avoid abrupt steering and driving
maneuvers, as well as driving over obstacles
(road curbs, potholes, or off-road areas). This
is especially important if the vehicle is heavily
loaded.
The emergency driving distance that can be
achieved greatly depends on the demands
placed on the vehicle. Depending on speed,
load, driving maneuvers, road conditions,
outside temperature, etc., the distance can be
significantly shorter or, if the vehicle is driven
cautiously, somewhat longer.
Do not continue driving in emergency mode if
R
you notice knocking sounds
R the vehicle starts to shake
R smoke develops and you smell rubber
R ESC is intervening continuously
R you notice tears on the tire sidewalls
After driving in emergency mode, you must
have the rims inspected by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center to check if they are
suitable for further use. The failed tire must
be replaced in any case.
When replacing individual or all tires on the
vehicle, make sure only tires marked with
“MOExtended” are mounted in the size
specified for your vehicle (
Y page 353).
