Keep right foot firmly on brake pedal.
Firmly depress parking brake pedal.
Move the selector lever to position P.
Slowly release brake pedal.
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.
Do not allow your tires to wear down too far.
As tread depth approaches 1⁄16 in (1.5 mm),
the adhesion properties on a wet road are
sharply reduced.
When parked on an incline, turn front
wheel towards the road curb.
Depending upon the weather and/or road
surface (conditions), the tire traction varies
widely.

Turn the key to starter switch position 0
and remove, or press KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button (vehicles with
KEYLESS-GO*).
Inspect the tires and the vehicle underbody
for possible damage. If the vehicle or tires
appear unsafe, have it towed to the nearest
Mercedes-Benz Center or tire dealer for re-
pairs.
Specified tire pressures must be main-
tained. This applies particularly if the tires
are subject to extreme operating condi-
tions (e.g. high speeds, heavy loads, high
ambient temperatures).
ț
Take the key or the KEYLESS-GO* card
with you and lock vehicle when leaving.
Tread wear 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 ⁄16 in (1.5 mm), at which point the
1
tire is considered worn and should be re-
placed.
