Bleeding The Fuel System (Diesel Engine Only) - Mercedes-Benz 2009 GL320 BlueTEC Operator's Manual

Practical hints

Bleeding the fuel system (diesel engine only)

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.

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
404
"MOExtended" are mounted in the size
specified for your vehicle ( Y page 425).
