Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of a

workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

The box contains:

The box contains a towing eye and a

tyre repair kit.

Tyre repair kit 3 264.

Winter tyres

1. a wheelbrace for removing the

wheel bolts and operating the

jack.

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.

2. a jack to raise the vehicle.

In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres 3 293.

3. wheel bolt cap or hub cap removal

tools. These tools are designed to

remove the wheel bolt head

covers on alloy wheels or the hub

cap on steel wheels.

4. a wheelbrace adapter for the

security wheel bolts.

5. a towing eye.

Vehicle care

Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options. For the correct tyre

pressure value, follow the procedure

below:

Directional tyres

Tyre designations

E.g. 225/55 R 18 98 V

Directional tyres should be mounted

so that they rotate in the correct

direction. The proper rotation

direction is indicated by a symbol

(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

225 : tyre width, mm

55 : cross-section ratio (tyre height

to tyre width), %

1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 290.

R

: belt type: Radial

2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations 3 293.

For the tyres approved for your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

RF : type: RunFlat

18 : wheel diameter, inches

98 : load index e.g. 98 is equivalent

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any

long journey. Do not forget the spare

wheel. This also applies to vehicles

with tyre pressure monitoring system.

V

: speed code letter

Speed code letter:

Q : up to 100 mph

S : up to 112 mph

T : up to 118 mph

H : up to 130 mph

V : up to 150 mph

W : up to 168 mph

Tyre pressure 3 293.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

9 Warning

Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of your vehicle.

Refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents. Optional equipment

could reduce the maximum speed of

the vehicle.

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

Caution

Tyre deflation detection

system

9 Warning

For specific tyres the

Deflation detection system warns

just about low tyre pressure

condition and does not replace

regular tyre maintenance by the

driver.

The tyre deflation detection system

continually checks the rotation speed

of all four wheels and warns on low

tyre pressure condition once vehicle

is driving. This is achieved by

comparing tyre rolling circumference

with reference values and further

signals.

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

In case of a system malfunction, the

control indicators q and R appear

at the same time or a message is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre. Set correct tyre pressure and

reinitialise system. If the failure

continues to be displayed, contact a

workshop. The system is inoperable

when ABS or ESC has a malfunction

or a temporary spare wheel is used.

Once the road tyre has been refitted,

check the tyre pressure with cold

tyres and initialise the system.

Temperature dependency

If a tyre loses pressure the control

indicator q illuminates, a warning

chime is given and a warning

message is displayed in the Driver

Information Centre.

In this case reduce speed, avoid

sharp cornering and strong braking.

Stop at next safe opportunity and

check tyre pressure.

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.

The pressure increases by nearly

1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature

increase. This must be considered

when warm tyres are checked.

Control indicator q 3 115.

After adjusting tyre pressure initialise

system to extinguish the control

indicator and restart system.

System initialisation

After tyre pressure correction or

wheel change, the system must be

initialised to learn new circumference

reference values:

Vehicle care

1. Always ensure that all four tyres

have correct tyre pressure

3 293.

2. Apply parking brake.

3. Start the initialisation procedure:

After initialisation system

For safety reasons, it is

automatically calibrates to new tyre

pressures during driving. After longer

drive the system will adopt and

monitor new pressures.

recommended that the tread depth of

the tyres on one axle should not vary

by more than 2 mm.

Always check tyre pressure with cold

tyres.

System has to be reinitialised when:

●

Tyre pressure has been changed

Load condition has been

changed

●

Wheels have been swapped or

exchanged

The system will not warn

instantaneously on a tyre blow out or

a rapid deflation. This is due to

required calculation time.

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels and

rear wheels periodically. Ensure that

the direction of rotation of the wheels

remains the same.

a) Vehicles without Infotainment

system: Press button q for 3

seconds. A chime confirms the

start.

b) Vehicles with Infotainment

system: Initialise the deflation

detection system in the vehicle

personalisation 3 127.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.

Tyres should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tyres).

4. Reset is confirmed by pop-up

indication.

Vehicle care

263

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every six years.

Wheel covers

Tyre chains

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.

Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the tyre

deflation detection system and make

other vehicle modifications.

Tyre deflation detection system

3 261.

9 Warning

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels. The use of tyre chains is

not permitted on the temporary spare

wheel.

Only use tryre chains designed to be

used with tyre type of the vehicle:

Have the label with tyre pressures

replaced.

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

9 Warning

The use of unsuitable tyres or

wheels may lead to accidents and

will invalidate the vehicle

operating permit.

Vehicles with steel wheels: When

using locking wheel nuts, do not

attach wheel covers.

●

For 16 inch tyres, only use 12 mm

link tyre chains.

For 17 inch tyres, only use

König K-Summit Van K84 tyre

chains.
