TEReduced battery life due tofre‐
qu ent short-dis tance trips The
12V battery may not be suf ficiently
ch arge d when theve hicle is used only for
short-dis tance trips. This reduces the life of
th e batter y. #

s on driving with a roof load, trailer or
fully laden vehicle
When driving with a loaded roof luggage rack or
trailer as well as with a fully laden or fully occu‐
pied vehicle, theve hicle's driving and steering
ch aracteristics change. Yo
u should bear thefo llowing in mind:
R Do not exceed the permissible roof load and
to wing capacity. Also obser vethete ch nical
da ta inthe printed Owner's Manual.
R Evenly distribute thero of load, and place
heavy objects at the bottom. Also comply
with the no tes on loading theve hicle
(/ page 108).
R Drive attentivel y,and avoid sudden lypulling
aw ay, braking and steering as well as rapid
cornering.
Note s on driving on salt-treated roads
The braking ef fect is limited on salt-trea ted
ro ads.
Therefore, obse rveth efo llowing no tes:
R due tosalt build-up on the brake disks and
brakepads, the braking dis tance can increase
conside rably or result in braking only on one
side
R maintain a much greater safe dis tance tothe
ve hicle in front To
remo vesalt build-up:
R brake occasionally while paying attention to
th e tra ffic conditions
R carefully depress the brake pedal at the end
of the journey and when starting the next
journey
Note s on aquaplaning
Aq uaplaning can take place once a cer tain
amount of water has accumulated on thero ad
sur face.
Obser vethefo llowing no tes during heavy precip‐
itation or in conditions in which aquaplaning may
occur:
R reduce speed
R avoid tyre ruts
R avoid sudden steering mo vements
R brake carefully

appr ovedby Mercedes-Benz foryo ur vehicle.
These tyres are specially adap tedto the

R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(run-flat tyres only for cer tain wheels)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer‐
tain AMG tyres)
Otherwise, cer tain properties, such as han‐
dling characteristics, vehicle noise emis‐
sions, consum ption, etc. could be ad versely
af fected. Furthermore, other tyre sizes could
re sult in the tyres rubbing against the body
and axle components when loaded. This
could result in damage tothe tyre or the

that
ha ve been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. *

TERisk todriving saf ety from retrea‐

treaded tyres are nei ther tested nor rec‐
ommended byMercedes-Benz, since pr evi‐
ous damage cannot alw ays be de tected on

Only inter change the front and rear
wheels if the wheels and tyres ha vethe
same dimensions. Inter
changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tyres ha vediffere nt dimensions can

The wear pat tern s on the front and rear wheels
dif fer:
R front wheels wear more on the tyre shoulder
R rear wheels wear more in the cent reofthe
tyre
Do not drive wi thtyres that ha vetoo little tread
dep th. This significantly reduces traction on wet
ro ads (aquaplaning).
On vehicles with the same front and rear wheel
size, you can inter change the wheels every
5000 to10,000 km, depending on thewe ar.
Ensure the direction of rotation is maintained for
th e wheels.
