WARNING

G

Check the tyre pressure when the vehicle is

heavily laden and adjust prior to a trip.

A flat tyre severely impairs the driving, steer-

ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.

There is a risk of accident.

While driving, pay attention to vibrations,

noises and unusual handling characteristics,

e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that

the wheels or tyres are damaged. If you sus-

pect that a tyre is defective, reduce your

speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon

as possible to check the wheels and tyres for

damage. Hidden tyre damage could also be

workshop.

The service life of tyres depends on various

factors, including the following:

When parking your vehicle, make sure not to

squash the tyre sidewalls. If this cannot be

avoided, drive slowly over obstacles, e.g.

kerbs, and only at an obtuse angle. You could

otherwise damage the wheel rims and tyres.

Notes on the tyre tread

Regular checking of wheels and tyres

WARNING

G

Insufficient tyre tread will reduce tyre trac-

tion. The tyre is no longer able to dissipate

water. This means that on wet road surfaces,

the risk of aquaplaning increases, in particular

where speed is not adapted to suit the driving

conditions. There is a risk of accident.

WARNING

G

Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflation pres-

sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of

your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.

Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage

and replace any damaged tyres immediately.

If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres

may exhibit different levels of wear at differ-

ent locations on the tyre tread. Thus, you

should regularly check the tread depth and

the condition of the tread across the entire

width of all tyres.

Check wheels and tyres for damage at least

once a month. Check wheels and tyres after

driving off-road or on rough roads. Damaged

wheels can cause a loss of tyre pressure. Pay

particular attention to damage such as:

Minimum tyre tread depth for:

R

cuts in the tyres

R

summer tyres: 3 mm

R

punctures

R

M+S tyres: 4 mm

R

tears in the tyres

For safety reasons, replace the tyres before

the legally prescribed limit for the minimum

tyre tread depth is reached.

R

bulges on the tyres

deformation or severe corrosion on wheels

R

Regularly check the tyre tread depth and the

condition of the tread across the whole width

of the tyre (Y page 359). If necessary, turn

the front wheels to full lock in order to inspect

the inner side of the tyre surface.

Selecting, fitting and replacing tyres

WARNING

G

All wheels must have a valve cap to protect

the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not fit

anything onto the valve other than the stand-

ard valve cap or other valve caps approved for

your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz. Do not fit any

other valve caps or systems, e.g. tyre pres-

sure monitoring systems.

Regularly check the pressure of all the tyres,

particularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tyre

pressure as necessary (Y page 362).

Exceeding the stated tyre load-bearing capa-

city and the approved maximum speed could

lead to tyre damage or the tyre bursting. There

is a risk of accident.

Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes

approved for your vehicle model. Observe the

tyre load rating and speed rating required for

your vehicle.

Pay special attention to country-specific

requirements for tyre approval. These

Observe here the "MOExtended tyres (tyres

with run-flat characteristics)" section

(Y page 340).

Have your vehicle winterproofed at a qualified

specialist workshop at the onset of winter.

braking power. Change the tyres on your vehi-

cle to M+S tyres. Using summer tyres at very

cold temperatures could cause tears to form,

thereby damaging the tyres permanently.

Mercedes-Benz cannot accept responsibility

for this type of damage.

R

Do not drive with tyres which have too little

tread depth. This otherwise significantly

reduces the traction on wet roads (aqua-

planing).

Replace the tyres after six years at the lat-

est, regardless of wear.

MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat

characteristics)

With MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat

characteristics), you can continue to drive

your vehicle even if there is a total loss of

pressure in one or more tyres.

MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-

junction with an activated tyre pressure loss

warning system orwith an activated tyre pres-

sure monitor and on wheels specifically tes-

ted by Mercedes-Benz.

M+S tyres

WARNING

G

M+S tyres with a tyre tread depth of less than

4 mm are not suitable for use in winter as they

do not provide sufficient traction. There is a

risk of accident.

M+S tyres with a tread depth of less than

4 mm must be replaced.

identified by the M+S marking.

To avoid hazardous situations:

R

never fit snow chains on the rear wheels

always fit snow chains in pairs to the front

wheels.

Only winter tyres bearing the i snowflake

symbol in addition to the M+S marking pro-

vide the best possible grip in wintry road con-

ditions. Only these tyres will allow driving

safety systems such as ABS and ESP^®to

function optimally in winter. These tyres have

been developed specifically for driving in

snow.

! Vehicles with steel wheels: if you fit

snow chains on steel wheels, you may dam-

age the hub caps. Remove the hub caps

from the relevant wheels before fitting the

snow chains.

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-

mends that you only use snow chains that

have been specifically approved for your vehi-

cle by Mercedes-Benz, or that are of a corre-

sponding standard of quality. For more infor-

mation, please contact a qualified specialist

workshop.

Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread on

all wheels to maintain safe handling charac-

teristics.

Always observe the maximum permissible

speed specified for the M+S tyres you have

fitted.

If you fit M+S tyres that have a lower maxi-

mum permissible speed than that of the vehi-

cle, affix an appropriate warning sign in the

driver's field of vision. This can be obtained at

a qualified specialist workshop.

Under these circumstances, you should also

restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle

using permanent SPEEDTRONIC so that it

does not exceed the maximum permissible

speed for the M+S tyres (Y page 196).

If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear

the following points in mind:

R

snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel-

tyre combinations. Permissible wheel-tyre

combinations (Y page 372).

If necessary, correct the tyre pressure.

WARNING

G

If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tyre

valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and

malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure

loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-

sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This

can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a

risk of accident.

If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pres-

sures stated on the tyre pressure table apply

for all tyres approved for this vehicle.

Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps

specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for

your vehicle onto the tyre valve.

WARNING

G

If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the

wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre

pressure that is too low may result in a tyre

blow-out. There is a risk of accident.

If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the

following tyre pressure information is only

valid for that tyre size.

Important safety notes

Depending on the ambient temperature, the

vehicle speed and the load on the tyres, the

tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure

changes by approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/

1.5 psi) per 10 †. Take this into account

when checking the pressure of warm tyres.

Only correct the tyre pressure if it is too low

for the current operating conditions.

The tyre pressure warning system does not

warn you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure.

Observe the notes on the recommended tyre

pressure (Y page 362).

The tyre pressure loss warning does not

replace the need to regularly check the tyre

pressures. An even loss of pressure on sev-

eral tyres at the same time cannot be detec-

ted by the tyre pressure loss warning system.

Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or

too low can:

The tyre pressure monitor is not able to warn

you of a sudden loss of pressure, e.g. if the

tyre is penetrated by a foreign object. In the

The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres

differ depending on the operating conditions.

Interchange the wheels before a clear wear

pattern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres

typically wear more on the shoulders and the

rear tyres in the centre.

On vehicles that have the same size front and

rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels

every 5,000 to 10,000 km depending on the

degree of tyre wear. Ensure the direction of

rotation is maintained.

Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and

the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel

is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and,

if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss

warning system or the tyre pressure monitor.

Safeguard the vehicle against rolling away

Direction of rotation

Tyres with a specified direction of rotation

have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk

of aquaplaning. These advantages can only be

gained if the tyres are fitted corresponding to

the direction of rotation.

An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates

its correct direction of rotation.

i Apart from some country-specific var-

iants, vehicles are not equipped with tyre-

changing tools. Some tools for changing a

wheel are specific to the vehicle. For more

information on which tools are required to

perform a wheel change on your vehicle,

consult a qualified specialist workshop.

Storing wheels

Necessary tyre-changing tools may

include, for example:

Store wheels in a cool, dry and preferably

dark place if they are not being used. Protect

the tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel.

jack could tip over with the vehicle raised.

There is a risk of injury.

Only position the jack at the appropriate jack-

ing point of the vehicle. The base of the jack

must be positioned vertically, directly under

the jacking point of the vehicle.

Observe the following when raising the

vehicle:

R

to raise the vehicle, only use the vehicle-

specific jack that has been tested and

approved by Mercedes-Benz. If the jack is

used incorrectly, it could tip over while the

vehicle is raised.

If your vehicle is equipped with a wheel chock,

it can be found in the tyre-change tool kit

(Y page 339).

The folding wheel chock is an additional

securing measure to safeguard the vehicle

from rolling away, for example when changing

a wheel.

R

the jack is designed only to raise and hold

the vehicle for a short time while a wheel

is being changed. It is not permissible to

use it to perform maintenance work under

the vehicle.

R

avoid changing the wheel on uphill and

downhill slopes.

before raising the vehicle, safeguard it from

rolling away by applying the parking brake

and positioning wheel chocks. Do not

release the parking brake while the vehicle

is raised.

Fold both plates upwards :.

the openings in base plate =.

R

the jack must be placed on a firm, flat and

non-slip surface. On a loose surface, a

large, flat load-bearing underlay must be

used. On a slippery surface, a non-slip

underlay must be used, e.g. rubber mats.

R

do not use wooden blocks or similar

objects as a jack underlay. Otherwise, the

jack will not be able to achieve its load-

bearing capacity due to the restricted

height.

make sure that the distance between the

underside of the tyres and the ground does

not exceed 3 cm.

Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,

regardless of wear. This also applies to the

emergency spare wheel.

To prevent hazardous situations:

R

Adapt your driving style accordingly and

drive carefully.

If you are driving with the emergency spare

wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning

system or the tyre pressure monitor cannot

function reliably. Only restart the tyre pres-

sure loss warning system or tyre pressure

monitor when the defective wheel has been

replaced with a new wheel.

Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after

fitting an emergency spare wheel, the system

may still display the tyre pressure of the

removed wheel for a few minutes. The value

displayed for the position where the emer-

gency spare wheel is fitted is not the same as

the current tyre pressure of the emergency

spare wheel.

R

Never fit more than one spare wheel/emer-

gency spare wheel if the dimensions are

different to those of the wheel being

replaced.

Only use a spare wheel/emergency spare

wheel briefly if the dimensions are different

to those of the wheel being replaced.

R

Do not switch off ESP .

Have the spare wheel/emergency spare

wheel in question replaced at the nearest

qualified specialist workshop. Make sure

that the wheel/tyre dimensions and tyre

type are correct.

When using an emergency spare wheel or

spare wheel of a different size, you must not

exceed the maximum speed of 80 km/h.

Removing the emergency spare wheel

Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency

spare wheels.

General notes

Apart from some country-specific variants,

vehicles are not equipped with an emergency

spare wheel. Emergency spare wheels are

specific to the vehicle. For more information

on which emergency spare wheels are

approved for your vehicle, consult a qualified

specialist workshop.

You should regularly check the pressure of

the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior

to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec-

essary (Y page 362). The value on the wheel is

valid. In addition, the emergency spare wheel

tyre pressure can be found under "Technical

data" (Y page 392).

Example: vehicles with the "Minispare" emergency

spare wheel

The "Minispare" emergency spare wheel is

secured in emergency spare wheel bag : in

the luggage compartment.
