Notes on tire pressure
Risk of accident due to insufficient or excessive tire pressure

Underinflated or overinflated tires pose in particular the following risks:

  • The tires can burst.
  • The tires can wear excessively and/or unevenly.
  • The driving characteristics as well as the steering and braking characteristics may be greatly impaired.
  • Comply with the recommended tire pressures and check the tire pressure of all tires, including the spare wheel, regularly:
    • Monthly
    • When the load changes
  • Before embarking on a longer journey
  • If operating conditions change, e.g. off-road driving
  • Adjust the tire pressure, if necessary.

Tire pressure that is too high or too low can:

  • Shorten the service life of the tires.
  • Cause increased tire damage.
  • Adversely affects driving characteristics and thus driving safety, e.g. due to hydroplaning.

WARNING
Risk of accident due to too low a tire pressure Tires with a pressure that is too low can overheat and burst as a consequence. In addition, they also suffer from irregular wear, which can significantly impair the braking properties and handling characteristics.

  • Avoid excessively low tire pressure.

Tire pressure which is too low can cause:

  • Tire defects as a result of overheating
  • Impaired handling characteristics
  • Irregular wear
  • Increased fuel consumption

WARNING
Risk of accident due to too high a tire pressure Tires with excessively high pressure can burst. In addition, they also suffer from irregular wear, which can significantly impair the braking properties and handling characteristics.

  • Avoid excessively high tire pressures.

Tire pressure which is too high can cause:

  • Increased braking distance
  • Impaired handling characteristics
  • Irregular wear
  • Impaired driving comfort
  • Susceptibility to damage

WARNING
Risk of accident due to repeated pressure drop in the tires The wheels, valves or tires could be damaged. Too low tire pressure can lead to the tires bursting.

  • Examine the tires for foreign objects.
  • Check whether the tire has a puncture or the valve has a leak.
  • If you are unable to rectify the damage, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

You can find information on tire pressure for the vehicle’s factory-installed tires on the following labels:

  • Tire and loading information placard on the
  • B‑pillar of your vehicle.
  • Tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap.

Observe the maximum tire pressure. Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tire pressure.

Only correct the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Conditions for cold tires:

  • The vehicle has been parked with the tires out of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
  • The vehicle has travelled less than 1 mile (1.6 km).

The vehicle’s tires heat up when driving. As the temperature of the tires increases, so too does the tire pressure.

Tire pressure monitoring system
The function of the tire pressure monitoring system

DANGER
Risk of accident due to incorrect tire pressure, Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. The system checks the tire pressure and the tire temperature of the tires fitted to the vehicle by means of a tire pressure sensor. The tire pressure and the tire temperature appear on the onboard computer. If there is a substantial pressure loss or if the tire temperature is excessive, you will be warned with display messages or the h warning lamp in the instrument cluster. The tire pressure monitoring system is only an aid. It is the driver’s responsibility to set the tire pressure to the recommended cold tire pressure suitable for the operating situation. In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring system will automatically update the new reference values after you have changed the tire pressure. You can, however, also update the reference values by restarting the tire pressure monitoring system manually.

System limits
The system may be impaired or may not function particularly in the following situations:

  • incorrect reference values were taught in
  • sudden pressure loss caused by a foreign object penetrating the tire, for example

Risk of accident from overloaded tires. Overloaded tires may overheat and burst as a consequence. Overloaded tires can also impair the steering and handling characteristics and lead to brake failure.

  • Observe the load rating of the tires.
  • The load rating must be at least half the permissible axle load of the vehicle.
  • Never overload the tires by exceeding the maximum load.

The Tire and Loading Information placard is on the B-pillar on the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Loading The Vehicle 1

  1. Tire and Loading Information placard.

Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Loading The Vehicle 2The data shown in the illustration is example data.

The Tire and Loading Information placard shows the following information:

  • Maximum number of seats 2 according to the maximum number of people permitted to travel in the vehicle.
  • Maximum permissible load 3 comprises the gross weight of all vehicle occupants, load, and luggage.
  • Recommended tire pressure 1 for cold tires. The recommended tire pressures are valid for the maximum permissible load and up to the maximum permissible vehicle speed.

Please also note:

  • Information on permissible weights and loads on the vehicle identification plate.
  • Information on tire pressure in the tire pressure table.

Further related subjects:

  • Determining the maximum permissible load
  • Notes on tire pressure.

Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit
The following steps have been developed as required of all manufacturers under Title 49, Code of U.S. Federal Regulations, Part 575, under the “National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1966”.

  • Locate the statement “The combined weight of occupants and cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s placard.
  • Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that will be riding in your vehicle.
  • Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
  • The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity. For example, if the “XXX” amount equals 1,400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is
    650 lbs. (1,400 – 750 (5 x 150) = 650 lbs.)
  • Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
  • If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, the load from your trailer will be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity of your vehicle.

Not all vehicles are permitted to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer is only permitted if a trailer hitch is installed. Please consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer if you have any questions about towing a trailer with your vehicle. Even if you have calculated the total load carefully, you should still make sure that the maximum permissible gross weight and the maximum gross axle weight rating of your vehicle are not exceeded. Details acan be found on the vehicle identification plate.

  • Have your loaded vehicle – including driver, occupants and load – weighed on a vehicle weighbridge.

The measured values may not exceed the maximum permissible values stated on the vehicle identification plate.

Further related subjects:

  • Calculation example for determining the maximum load.

The data shown in the illustration is example data.

Tire Quality Grading
In accordance with the US Department of Transportation’s “Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards”, tire manufacturers are required to grade their tires on the basis of the following three performance factors:

  1. Treadwear grade
  2. Traction grade
  3. Temperature grade

The data shown in the illustration is example data. The classification is not legally stipulated for Canada, but it is generally stated.

Treadwear grade
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a specified government test course. For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and one-half (1\1/2\) times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100. The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in road characteristics and climate.

Traction grade
Risk of accident due to inadequate traction The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on straight-ahead braking traction tests.

  • Always adapt your driving style and drive at a speed to suit the prevailing traffic and weather conditions.

NOTE
Damage to the drivetrain from wheelspin

  • Avoid wheelspin.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C. Those grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as measured under controlled conditions on specified government test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

Temperature grade
Risk of accident from tire overheating and tire failure Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause excessive heat build-up and possible tire failure.

  • Observe the recommended tire pressure.
  • Regularly check the pressure of all the tires.
  •  Adjust the tire pressure, if necessary.

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. Grade C corresponds to a level of performance that all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Safety Standard No. 109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

DOT, Tire Identification Number (TIN)
US tire regulations stipulate that every tire manufacturer or retreated must imprint a TIN in or on the side wall of each tire produced.Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Loading The Vehicle 5

WARNING
Risk of accident due to incorrect wheel and tire dimensions. If wheels and tires of the wrong size are installed, the service brakes or components in the brake system and in the wheel suspension may be damaged.

  • Always replace wheels and tires with ones that fulfil the specifications of the original part.

For wheels, pay attention to the following:

  • Designation
  • Type

For tires, pay attention to the following:

  • Designation
  • Manufacturer
  • Type

WARNING
Risk of injury through exceeding the specified tire load-bearing capacity or the permissible speed rating Exceeding the specified tire load rating or the permissible speed rating may lead to tire damage and to the tires bursting.

  • Therefore, only use tire types and sizes approved for your vehicle model.
  • Observe the tire load rating and speed rating required for your vehicle.

NOTE
Vehicle and tire damage caused by non-approved tire types and sizes.
For safety reasons, only use tires, wheels and accessories which have been specially approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.

These tires are specially adapted to active safety systems, such as ABS, ESP® and 4MATIC, and are marked as follows:

  • MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
  • MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended (run-flat tires only for certain wheels)
  • MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only certain AMG tires)

Otherwise, certain properties, such as handling characteristics, vehicle noise emissions, consumption, etc. could be adversely affected. Furthermore, other tire sizes could result in the tires rubbing against the body and axle components when loaded. This could result in damage to the tire or the vehicle. Only use tires, wheels and accessories that have been checked and recommended by Mercedes-Benz.

  • NOTE Risk to driving safety from retreaded tires

Retreaded tires are neither tested nor recommended by Mercedes-Benz since previous damage cannot always be detected on retreaded tires.
For this reason, driving safety cannot be guaranteed.

  • Do not use used tires if you have no information about their previous usage.

NOTE
Possible wheel and tire damage when driving over obstacles
Large wheels have a smaller section width. As the section width decreases, the risk of wheels and tires being damaged when driving over obstacles increases.

  • Avoid obstacles or drive especially carefully.
  • Reduce your speed when driving over curbs, speed bumps, manhole covers and potholes.
  • Avoid particularly high curbs.

NOTE
Possible wheel and tire damage when parking on curbs or in potholes

Parking on curbs or in potholes can damage the wheels and tires.

  • Only park on as level a surface as possible.
  • Avoid curbs and potholes when parking.

NOTE
Damage to electronic parts due to the use of tire-installing tools Vehicles with tire pressure monitoring system: There are electronic parts in the wheel. If tire-installing tools are positioned in the area of the valve, the electronic components could be damaged.

  • Tire-installing tools should not be applied in the area of the valve.
  • Always have tires changed at a qualified specialist workshop.

NOTE
Damage to summer tires at low ambient temperatures At low ambient temperatures, tears could form when driving with summer tires, causing permanent damage to the tires.

  • At temperatures below 45°F (7°C) use i M+S tires.

Accessory parts which are not approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or which are not used correctly, can impair the operating safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approved accessories, visit a qualified specialist workshop and inquire about:

  • Suitability
  • Legal stipulations
  • Factory recommendations

WARNING
Risk of an accident with high-performance tires. The special tire tread in combination with the optimized tire compound means that the risk of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is increased. In addition, the tire grip is greatly reduced at a low outside temperature and tire running temperature.

  • Switch on the ESP® and adapt your driving style accordingly.
  • Use i M+S tires at outside temperatures of less than 50°F (10°C).
  • Only use the tires for their intended purpose.

Observe the following when selecting, installing, and replacing tires:

  • Furthermore, the use of certain tire types in certain regions and areas of operation can be highly beneficial.
  • Only use tires and wheels of the same type (summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires) and the same make.
  • Only install wheels of the same size (left and right) on each axle.
    It is only permissible to install a different wheel size in the event of a flat tire to drive to the specialist workshop.
  • Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring system: all installed wheels must be equipped with functioning sensors for the tire pressure monitoring system.
  • At temperatures below 45°F (7°C) use winter tires or all-season tires marked i M+S for all wheels.
    Winter tires provide the best possible grip in wintry road conditions.
  • For M+S tires, only use tires with the same tread.
  • Observe the maximum permissible speed for the M+S tire which is installed.
    If the tire’s maximum speed is below that of the vehicle, this must be indicated by an appropriate label in the driver’s field of vision.
  • Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the
    first 60 miles (100 km).
  • Replace the tires after six years at the latest,
    regardless of wear.
  • When replacing with tires that do not feature run-flat characteristics: vehicles with MOExtended tires are not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. Equip the vehicle with a TIREFIT kit after replacing it with tires that do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. winter tires.

For more information on wheels and tires, contact a qualified specialist workshop.

Be sure to also observe the following further related subjects:

  • Notes on tire pressure
  • Tire and loading information placard
  • Tire size designation, load-bearing capacity, speed rating and load index
  • Tire pressure table
  • Notes on the emergency spare wheel

Notes on rotating wheels

WARNING
Risk of injury through different wheel sizes, Rotating the front and rear wheels can severely impair the driving characteristics.
The wheel brakes or suspension components may also be damaged.

  • Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels and tires are of the same dimensions.

Observe the instructions and safety notes on “Changing a wheel” 

The wear patterns on the front and rear wheels differ:

  • Front wheels wear more on the tire shoulder
  • The rear wheels wear more in the centre of the tire

Do not drive with tires that have too little tread depth. This significantly reduces traction on wet roads (hydroplaning). On vehicles that have the same size front and rear wheels, rotate the wheels according to the intervals in the tire manufacturer’s warranty book in your vehicle documents. If this is not available, rotate the tires every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to 10,000 km), depending on the wear. Ensure that the direction of rotation is maintained.

Notes on storing wheels
When storing wheels, observe the following notes: R After removing wheels, store them in a cool, dry and preferably dark place.

  • Protect the tires from contact with oil, grease or fuel.

NOTE
Mercedes-AMG vehicles

  • Observe the notes in the Supplement.

Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Spare Wheel 

In keeping with contemporary car trends, the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Sedan normally does not include a conventional spare wheel as standard equipment. Alternatively, run-flat tires or a tire repair kit (which comes with an electric air pump and tire sealant) are frequently fitted to certain Mercedes-Benz models. This strategy aims to minimize weight and save space, which improves fuel economy and increases cargo space. Even after a puncture, run-flat tires enable the car to be driven at a slower pace for a short distance, giving it enough range to get to a safe place or a repair facility. It might be possible to add a spare wheel as an optional extra for drivers who would rather have one so that people who value having a conventional spare tire can be satisfied.

WARNING
Risk of distraction from operating integrated communication equipment while the vehicle is in motion. If you operate communication equipment integrated in the vehicle when driving, you could be distracted from the traffic situation.

This could also cause you to lose control of the vehicle.

  • Only operate this equipment when the traffic situation permits.
  • If you cannot be sure of this, stop the vehicle whilst paying attention to road and traffic conditions and operate the equipment with the vehicle stationary.

WARNING
Risk of accident from operating mobile communication equipment while the vehicle is in motion. Mobile communication devices distract the driver from the traffic situation. This can also cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

  • As a driver, only operate mobile communication devices when the vehicle is stationary.
  • As a vehicle occupant, use mobile communication devices only in the designated area, e.g. in the rear passenger compartment.

You must observe the legal requirements for the country in which you are currently driving when operating mobile communication equipment in the vehicle.

WARNING
Risk of injury due to objects being stowed incorrectly. If objects in the vehicle interior are stowed incorrectly, they can slide or be thrown around and hit vehicle occupants. In addition, cup holders, open stowage spaces, and mobile phone receptacles cannot always retain all objects within. There is a risk of injury, particularly in the event of sudden braking or a sudden change in direction.

  • Always stow objects so that they cannot be thrown around in such situations.
  • Always make sure that objects do not protrude from stowage spaces, parcel nets or stowage nets.
  • Close the lockable stowage spaces before starting a journey.
  • Always stow and secure heavy, hard, pointed, sharp-edged, fragile or bulky objects in the trunk/cargo compartment.

Observe the additional information on stowing mobile communications devices correctly:

  • Loading the vehicle Bluetooth® connection:

  • PBAP (Phone Book Access Profile)
    • The contacts on the mobile phone are shown automatically on the multimedia system.
  • MAP (Message Access Profile)
    • The mobile phone message functions can be used on the multimedia system.
    • Irrespective of this, Bluetooth ® audio functionality can be used with any mobile radio unit.
    • For information on the range of functions of the mobile radio unit to be connected, see the manufacturer’s operating instructions.

The following cases can lead to the call being dis-connected while the vehicle is in motion:

  • You switch to a transmission/reception station, in which no communication channel is free.
  • The SIM card used is not compatible with the network available
  • A mobile phone with a “Twin card” is logged into the network with the second SIM card at the same time

LOGO

Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Overview and Operation

Mercedes-Benz E-class. The four-door sedan, two-door coupe, and two-door convertible body styles that make up the E-class family all provide a sense of lavish comfort and a long list of options that enable customers to tailor their car to their taste. Start with the engine choices: the E350 sedan is powered by a 255-hp inline-four; the E450 sedan is blessed with a 362-hp version of Mercedes’s silken 3.0-liter inline-six. The slinky coupe and the soft-top convertible come only in E450, six-cylinder form. The E-class comes with a good-sized helping of luxury items ranging from a glove-compartment cool box to a power-adjustable steering column. Surprisingly, however, some things you would expect to be standard in this price class turn out to be optional, like leather upholstery and the more sophisticated of Mercedes’s driver assists. The E-class is a tranquil, comfort-first cruiser, so those with a need for speed should check out the AMG E53 for its amplified performance. But if it’s a beautifully crafted luxury automobile you’re after—with a pedigree to match—the E-class has always been and remains a compelling choice.

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

The function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance system that monitors the area surrounding your vehicle and shows you the distance between the vehicle and a detected obstacle visually and audibly.
  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you.
  • Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exiting parking spaces.
  • The passive side impact protection also warns you of obstacles to the side. During the parking procedure or manoeuvring, objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. For an object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear bumper must first detect the object while you are driving past it.
  • For front or rear obstacles to the side to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles on all sides can be shown.

Displays on the Media DisplayParking Assist PARKTRONIC1

As soon as Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is operational, the respective areas of the display are shown in blue.

  1. Operational, front and rear
  2. Operational, all around
  3. Obstacles detected at the front left and on the right-hand side

The colour of the display changes depending on the distance to the detected obstacle:

  • Blue: > 3.3 ft (1 m) (no obstacles detected) R Yellow: approximately 3.3 ft (1 m) – 2.3 ft (0.7 m)
  • Orange: approximately 2.3 ft (0.7 m) – 1.2 ft (0.4 m)
  • Red: <1.2 ft (0.4 m)

Vehicles with 360° camera: the boundary line shifts dynamically depending on the position and distance of the obstacles detected.
Depending on the distance to the obstacle detected, an intermittent warning tone also sounds. You can set the timing of the warnings in the multimedia system.

Standard setting:

  • Front and sides: < 1.2 ft (0.4 m)
  • Rear: < 3.3 ft (1 m)
  • Warn Early All Around:
  • Front: < 3.3 ft (1 m)
  • Sides: < 2.3 ft (0.7 m)
  • Rear: < 3.3 ft (1 m)

A continuous warning tone sounds from a distance of approximately 0.7 ft (0.2 m), regardless of the selected setting.

After an engine start, obstacles must be detected again by driving past them before a warning can be issued.
Observe the information on vehicle sensors and cameras; the system otherwise cannot function properly.

Problems with Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

Parking Assist PARKTRONIC6

 

  1. Vehicles with 360° camera
  2. Vehicles without 360° camera

If the Parking Assist PARKTRONIC display lights up red for approximately three seconds before going out, and the é symbol appears on the instrument cluster, the system may have been deactivated due to signal interference. Start the vehicle again and check if Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is working at a different location.

If the symbol appears on the instrument cluster and a warning tone sounds, it may be due to one of the following causes:

  • The sensors are dirty: clean the sensors and observe the notes on the care of vehicle parts.
  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC has been deactivated due to a malfunction: restart the vehicle. If the problem persists, consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Activating/deactivating Parking Assist PARKTRONIC

Active Parking Assist

The function of Active Parking Assist
Active Parking Assist is an electronic parking assistance system, which uses ultrasound with the assistance of the rear view camera and 360°camera. When you are driving forward at up to approximately 22 mph (35 km/h), the system automatically measures parking spaces on both sides of the vehicle.

Active Parking Assist offers the following functions:

Vehicles with rearview camera

  • Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road

Vehicles with 360° camera

  • Parking in parking spaces parallel to the road
  • Parking in parking spaces perpendicular to the road (optionally either forward or reverse)
  • Parking in parking spaces that can only be detected as such due to markings (for example at the roadside)
  • Exiting parking spaces if you have parked using Active Parking Assist

As soon as all requirements are met for searching for parking spaces, the Ç display appears on the instrument display. When Active Parking Assist has detected parking spaces, the È display appears on the instrument display. The arrows show on which side of the road the detected parking spaces are located. They are then shown on the media display. Vehicles with rearview camera: the parking space can be selected as desired. The vehicle is parked in reverse. Vehicles with 360° camera: the parking space can be selected as desired. Depending on the location of the parking space, the parking direction (forward or reverse) can also be selected as desired. When Active Parking Assist is activated, the turn signal indicators are activated based on the calculated path of your vehicle. The parking procedure is assisted by accelerating, braking, steering and gear changes. Active Parking Assist is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that no persons, animals objects etc. are in the maneuvering range.

Active Parking Assist will be cancelled in the following situations:

  • Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is deactivated.
  • You begin steering.
  • You engage transmission position j.
  • ESP® intervenes.
  • You open the driver’s door.
  • After activating Active Parking Assist, you press the c button again.

System limits
If the exterior lighting is faulty, Active Parking Assist may not function, depending on the defect.

Also, observe the system limits of the following systems:

  • Rearview camera.
  • 360° camera.

Objects located above or below the detection range of the sensors, e.g. overhanging loads, overhangs or loading ramps of goods vehicles, or the borders of parking spaces, are not detected during the measurement of the parking space. These are also then not taken into account when calculating the parking procedure. In some circumstances, Active Parking Assist may therefore guide you into the parking space incorrectly.

WARNING
Risk of accident due to objects located above or below the detection range of Active Parking Assist

If there are objects above or below the detection range, the following situations may arise:

  • Active Parking Assist may steer too early.
  • The vehicle may not stop in front of these objects.

There is a danger of collision!

  • In these situations, do not use Active Parking Assist.

Extreme weather conditions, such as snow or heavy rain, may lead to a parking space being measured inaccurately. Parking spaces that are partially occupied by trailer drawbars might not be identified as such or be measured incorrectly. Only use Active Parking Assist on level, high-grip ground.

Do not use Active Parking Assist in the following situations:

  • In extreme weather conditions such as ice, packed snow or in heavy rain.
  • When transporting a load that protrudes beyond the vehicle.
  • On steep uphill or downhill gradients of more than approximately 15%.
  • When snow chains are fitted.
  • Directly after a tire change or when spare tires are fitted.
  • If the tire pressure is too low or too high.
  • If the suspension is out of alignment, e.g. after bottoming out on a curb.

Active Parking Assist may also display parking spaces that are not suitable for parking, such as

  • Parking spaces where parking is prohibited.
  • Parking spaces on unsuitable surfaces.

Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning

Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist use two lateral, rear-facing radar sensors to monitor the area up to 130 ft. (40 m) behind and 10 ft. (3 m) next to your vehicle. If a vehicle is detected at speeds above approximately 8 mph (12 km/h) and this vehicle subsequently enters the monitoring range directly next to your vehicle, the warning lamp in the outside mirror lights up red.

Permanent status display in the instrument cluster:

  • (grey): the system is activated but inoperative
  • (green): the system is activated and operational

If a vehicle is detected close to your vehicle and you switch on the turn signal indicator in the corresponding direction, a double warning tone sounds and the red warning lamp in the outside mirror flashes. If the turn signal indicator remains switched on, all other detected vehicles are indicated only by the flashing of the red warning lamp. If you overtake a vehicle quickly, no warning is given.

WARNING
Risk of the accident despite Active Blind Spot Assist Active Blind Spot Assist does not react to the following:

  • If you overtake a vehicle too closely so that it is in the blind spot area
  • If vehicles travelling at a much faster speed approach and then overtake
  • Active Blind Spot Assist may not give warnings or intervene in such situations.
  • Always pay careful attention to the traffic situation and maintain a safe distance at the side of the vehicle.
  • Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers.
  • Exit warning The exit warning is an additional function of Blind Spot Assist and can warn vehicle occupants about approaching vehicles when leaving the vehicle when stationary.

WARNING
Risk of the accident despite exit warning The exit warning neither reacts to stationary objects nor to persons or road users approaching you at a greatly differing speed. The exit warning cannot warn drivers in these situations.

  • Always pay particular attention to the traffic situation when opening the doors and make sure there is sufficient clearance.
  • If there is a vehicle in the monitoring range, this is indicated in the outside mirror.
  • If a vehicle occupant opens the door on the side with the warning, a warning tone sounds and the warning lamp in the outside mirror starts to flash. This additional function is only available when Blind Spot Assist is active. When the exit warning is activated, it can warn vehicle occupants for up to three minutes after switching the vehicle off. The exit warning is no longer available once the warning lamp in the outside mirror flashes three times.
  • The exit warning is only an aid and not a substitute for the attention of vehicle occupants. The responsibility for opening and closing the doors and for leaving the vehicle remains with the vehicle occupants.

System limits
Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may be limited in the following situations, in particular:

  • if there is dirt on the sensors or the sensors are obscured
  • in poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain or snow
  • if there are narrow vehicles, e.g. bicycles or motorbikes
  • if the road has very wide or narrow lanes
  • if vehicles are not driving in the middle of their lane
  • Warnings may be issued in error when driving close to crash barriers or similar continuous lane borders. Always make sure that there is sufficient distance to the side for other traffic or obstacles.
  • Warnings may be interrupted when driving alongside long vehicles, for example, trucks, for a prolonged time.
    Blind Spot Assist is not operational when the reverse gear is engaged.
    The exit warning may be limited in the following situations:
  • when the sensors are covered by adjacent vehicles in narrow parking spaces
  • when people approach the vehicle
  • in the event of stationary or slowly moving

The function of the brake application (Active Blind Spot Assist)
If Active Blind Spot Assist detects a risk of a side impact in the monitoring range, a course-correcting brake application is carried out. This is designed to help you avoid a collision. The course-correcting brake application is available in the speed range between approximately 20 mph (30 km/h) and 125 mph (200 km/h).

 WARNING
Risk of the accident despite brake application of Active Blind Spot Assist A course-correcting brake application cannot always prevent a collision.

  • Always steer, brake or accelerate yourself, especially if Active Blind Spot Assist warns you or makes a course-correcting brake application.
  • Always maintain a safe distance at the sides.

Mercedes-Benz E-CLASS SEDAN 2023 Blind Spot and Exit Warning

If a course-correcting brake application occurs, the red warning lamp flashes in the outside mirror and a warning tone sounds. In addition, display 1 indicating the danger of a side collision appears in the Instrument Display. In rare cases, the system may make an inappropriate brake application. This brake application may be interrupted at any time if you steer slightly in the opposite direction or accelerate.

System limits
Note the system limitations of Active Blind Spot Assist; you may otherwise not recognize the dangers. Either a course-correcting brake application appropriate to the driving situation or none at all, may occur in the following situations:

  • Vehicles or obstacles, e.g. crash barriers, are located on both sides of your vehicle.
  • A vehicle approaches too closely on the side.
  • You have adopted a sporty driving style with high cornering speeds.
  • You brake or accelerate significantly.
  • A driving safety system intervenes, e.g. ESP® or Active Brake Assist.

Active Lane-keeping Assist
The function of Parking Assist PARKTRONIC Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is an electronic parking assistance system that monitors the area surrounding your vehicle and shows you the distance between the vehicle and a detected obstacle visually and audibly. Parking Assist PARKTRONIC is only an aid. It is not a substitute for your attention to the surroundings. The responsibility for safe manoeuvring and parking remains with you. Make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the manoeuvring area while manoeuvring and parking in/exiting parking spaces. The passive side impact protection also warns you of obstacles to the side. During the parking procedure or manoeuvring, objects are detected as the vehicle drives past. If you steer in the direction of a detected obstacle and there is a risk of a lateral collision, a warning is issued. For an object on the side to be detected, the sensors in the front and rear bumper must first detect the object while you are driving past it. For front or rear obstacles to the side to be displayed, the vehicle must first travel a distance of at least half a vehicle length. Once the vehicle has travelled one vehicle length, obstacles on all sides can be shown.

The function of Active Speed Limit Assist

If a change in the speed limit of 12 mph (20 km/h) or more is detected and automatic adoption of speed limits is activated, the new speed limit is automatically adopted as the stored speed. The driving speed is adjusted when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign at the latest. In the case of signs indicating entry into an urban area, the speed is adapted according to the speed permitted within the urban area. The speed limit display on the instrument display is always updated when the vehicle is level with the traffic sign. If there is no speed restriction on an unlimited stretch of road (e.g. on a freeway), the recommended speed is automatically adopted as the stored speed. The system uses the speed stored on an unlimited stretch of road as the recommended speed. If you do not alter the stored speed on an unlimited stretch of road, the recommended speed is 80 mph (130 km/h). If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC has been put into passive mode by pressing the accelerator pedal, only speed limits that are higher than the set speed are adopted. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers.

System limits
The system limits of Traffic Sign Assist apply to the detection of traffic signs. Speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h) are not automatically adopted by the system as the stored speed. Temporary speed restrictions (e.g. applicable for a certain time or due to weather conditions) cannot be properly detected by the system. The maximum permissible speed applied to a vehicle with a trailer is not detected by the system. Adjust the speed in these situations.

WARNING
Risk of accident due to Active Speed Limit Assist adapting the vehicle’s speed

The speed adopted by Active Speed Limit Assist may be too high or incorrect in some individual cases, such as:

  • at speed limits below 12 mph (20 km/h)
  • in wet conditions or in fog
  • when towing a trailer
  • Ensure that the driven speed complies with traffic regulations.
  • Adjust the driving speed to suit current traffic and weather conditions.

Function of route-based speed adaptation
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is activated, the vehicle speed will be adapted accordingly to the route events ahead. Depending on the drive program selected, the vehicle negotiates a route event ahead in an economical, comfortable or dynamic manner. When the route event has been passed, the vehicle accelerates again to the stored speed. The set distance to the vehicle in front, vehicles detected ahead and speed restrictions ahead are taken into account.
You can activate and deactivate route-based speed adaptation in the multimedia system.

The following route events are taken into account:

  • Bends
  • T-intersections, traffic circles and toll stations
  • Turns and exits
  • Traffic jams ahead (only with Live Traffic Information )
    When the toll station is reached, Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC adopts the speed as the stored speed.

Also, the speed is reduced if the turn signal indicator to change lanes is switched on and one of the following situations is detected:

  • Turning at intersections
    Driving on slowing-down lanes
  • Driving on lanes adjacent to slowing-down lanes

The driver is responsible for choosing the right speed and observing other road users. This applies in particular to intersections, traffic circles and traffic lights, as route-based speed adaptation does not brake the vehicle to a standstill.
When route guidance is active, the first speed adjustment is carried out automatically. If the turn signal indicator is switched on, the selected route is confirmed and further speed adjustment is activated.

Speed adaptation is canceled in the following cases:

  • If the turn signal indicator is switched off before the route event.
  • If the driver depresses the accelerator or brake pedal during the process.

System limits
Route-based speed adaptation does not take right-of-way regulations into account. The driver is responsible for complying with road traffic regulations and driving at a suitable speed.

The speed adaptation made by the system may not always be suitable, particularly in the following situations:

  • road’s a course not visible
  • road narrowing
  • varying maximum permissible speeds in individual lanes, for example at toll stations
  • wet road surfaces, snow or ice

In these situations, the driver must intervene accordingly.

WARNING
Risk of an accident in spite of route-based speed adaptation

Route-based speed adaptation can malfunction or be temporarily unavailable in the following situations:

  • If the driver does not follow the calculated route
  • If map data is not up-to-date or available
  • In the event of roadworks
  • In bad weather or road conditions
  • If the accelerator pedal is depressed R In the event of electronically displayed speed limitations
  • Adapt the speed to the traffic situation.

Speed Control Cruise Control

The function of Cruise Control
Cruise control regulates the speed to the value selected by the driver. If you accelerate to overtake, for example, the stored speed is not deleted. If you remove your foot from the accelerator pedal after overtaking, cruise control will resume speed regulation back to the stored speed. You can store any speed above 15 mph (20 km/h) up to the maximum design speed. Observe the notes on driving systems and your responsibility; you may otherwise fail to recognize dangers

Mercedes AMG vehicles: cruise control is available up to a maximum speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).

Displays in the Instrument Display

  • h (grey): cruise control is selected but not yet activated.
  • h (green): cruise control is active.

A stored speed appears along with the h display. The segments between the stored speed and the end of the segment display light up in the speedometer.

System limits
Cruise control may be unable to maintain the stored speed on uphill gradients. The stored speed is resumed when the gradient evens out.
Change into a lower gear in good time on long and steep downhill gradients. Take particular note of this when driving a laden vehicle. By doing so, you will make use of the braking effect of the engine. This relieves the load on the brake system and prevents the brakes from overheating and wearing too quickly. Do not use cruise control in the following situations:

  • in traffic situations that require frequent changes of speed, e.g. in heavy traffic, on winding roads
  • or on slippery roads. Accelerating can cause the drive wheels to lose traction and the vehicle could then skid.
  • when visibility is poor Operating cruise control

 WARNING
Risk of accident due to stored If you call up the stored speed and this is lower than your current speed, the vehicle decelerates.

  • Take into account the traffic situation before calling up the stored speed.
