Notes on noise or unusual handling characteris-
tics
Mak
e sure there are no vibrations, noises or
unusual handling characteristics when the vehicle
is in motion. This may indicate that the wheels or
tyres are damaged. Hidden tyre damage could
also be causing the unusual handling characteris-
tics.
If you suspect that a tyre is defective, reduce your
speed immediately and have the tyres and wheels
checked at a qualiNed specialist workshop. Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres
&
WARNING Risk of injur
y due to damaged
tyres
Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss. 
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
damag
e and replace any damaged tyres
immediately. &
WARNING Risk of aq
uaplaning due to
insuPcient tyre tread
*nsuPcient tyr
e tread will result in reduced
tyre grip.
The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet
roads, especially when the speed of the vehi-
cle is not adapted to suit the conditions. 
Thus, you should regularly check the
tr

ead depth and the condition of the
tread across the entire width of all tyres.
Minimum tread depth for:
= Summer tyr

es: 3 mm
= M+S tyres: 4 mm 
For safety reasons, replace the tyres
bef
ore the legally-prescribed limit for the
minimum tread depth is reached. Carry out the following checks on all wheels regu-
lar
ly, at least once a month or as required, for
example, prior to a long journey or driving oM-
road:
= Check the tyre pressure (  page 380).=
V
isually inspect wheels and tyres for damage.
= Check the valve caps.
= Visual check of the tyre tread depth and the
tyre contact surface across the entire width.
The minimum tread depth for summer tyres is
3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm. Notes on snow chains

WARNING Risk of accident due t
o incor-
rectly Ntted snow chains
If you have Ntt
ed snow chains to the rear
wheels, they may drag against the vehicle
body or chassis components. 
Never Nt sno

WARNING Risk of accident due t
o repea-
ted pressure drop in the tyres
The wheels, valves or tyres could be damaged.
T
oo low a tyre pressure can lead to the tyres
bursting. 
Examine the tyres for foreign objects. 
Check whether the tyre has a puncture
or t

he valve has a leak. 
If you are unable to rectify the damage,
cont

act a qualiNed specialist workshop. Information on the recommended tyre pressure
f

or the vehicle's factory-Ntted tyres can be found
on the tyre pressure table on the inside of the fuel
Nller Oap ( page 381).
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the tyre
pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre does not
permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pres-
sure.
Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres are
cold. Conditions for cold tyres:
= The vehicle has been parked with the tyres out
of direct sunlight for at least three hours.
= The vehicle has travelled less than 1.6 km.
The vehicle's tyres heat up when driving. As the
temperature of the tyres increases, so too does
the tyre pressure.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring system:
you can also check the tyre pressure using the
on-board computer ( page 382).
Notes on trailer operation
Always inOate the rear axle tyres to the recom-
mended tyre pressures on the tyre pressure table
for increased load. Tyre pressure table
The tyre pressure table is on the inside of the fuel
Nller Oap. The tyre pressure table shows the recommended
tyr

e pressure for all tyres approved for this vehi-
cle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for
cold tyres under various operating conditions, i.e.
loading and/or speed of the vehicle. Wheels and tyres

If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pressure,
t he following tyre pressure information is only
valid for those tyre sizes and their respective load
condition.
If the preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
the

he teach-in
process of the system is not yet complete. The
tyre pressures are already being monitored. 
Compare the tyre pressure with the recom-
mended tyr
e pressure for the current operat-
ing condition ( page 381). Additionally,
observe the notes on cold tyres
( page 380).
% The values displayed in the on-board com-
put

er may deviate from those of the tyre pres-
sure gauge as they refer to sea level. At high
elevations, the tyre pressure values indicated
by a pressure gauge are higher than those
shown by the on-board computer. In this case,
do not reduce the tyre pressure.

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 tyre, for example
= an even pressure loss on more than one tyre
occurs
The system has a restricted or delayed function
particularly in the following situations:

WARNING Risk of injur
y through exceed-
ing the speciNed tyre load-bearing capa-
city or the permissible speed rating
Exceeding the load-bearing capacity of the
tyr
es can lead to tyre damage and could cause
the tyres to explode. 
Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes
appr

oved for your vehicle model. 
Observe the tyre load-bearing capacity

NOTE V
ehicle and tyre damage caused by
non-approved tyre types and sizes For safety reasons, only use tyres, wheels and
accessor

ies which have been specially
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These tyres are specially adapted to the active
safety systems, such as ABS, ESP n
and
4MATIC, and marked as follows:
= MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
= MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(run-Oat tyres only for certain wheels)
= MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Otherwise, certain properties, such as han-
dling characteristics, vehicle noise emissions,
consumption, etc. could be adversely aMec-
ted. Furthermore, other tyre sizes could result
in the tyres rubbing against the body and axle
components when loaded. This could result in
damage to the tyre or the vehicle. Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that
ha

ve been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. *
NOTE Risk t
o driving safety from retrea-
ded tyres Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor recom-
mended b

y Mercedes-Benz, since previous
damage cannot always be detected on retrea-
ded tyres.
For this reason driving safety cannot be guar-
anteed. 
Do not use used tyres if you have no
inf
ormation about their previous usage. *
NOTE P
ossible wheel and tyre damage
when driving over obstacles Large wheels have a smaller section width. As
t

he section width decreases, the risk of
wheels and tyres being damaged when driving
over obstacles increases. Wheels and tyres

Avoid obstacles or drive especially care-
full
y. 
Reduce your speed when driving over
k

erbs, speed bumps, manhole covers
and potholes. 
Avoid particularly high kerbs. *
NOTE P
ossible wheel and tyre damage
when parking on kerbs or in potholes Parking on kerbs or in potholes can damage
t
he wheels and tyres. 
Only park on level surfaces if possible. 
Avoid kerbs and potholes when parking. *
NOTE Damag
e to electronic component
parts due to the use of tyre-Ntting tools Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring sys-
t

em: there are electronic component parts in
the wheel.
If tyre-Ntting tools are positioned in the area of
the valve, the electronic components could be
damaged. 
Tyre-Ntting t
ools should not be applied in
the area of the valve. 
Always have tyres changed at a q
ualiNed
specialist workshop. *
NOTE Damag
e to summer tyres at low
ambient temperatures At low ambient temperatures, tears could form
when dr

iving with summer tyres, causing per-
manent damage to the tyre. 
At temperatures below 7 °C use M
M+S

tyres. Accessory parts which are not approved for your
v
ehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or which are not used
correctly, can impair the operating safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approved acces-
sories, visit a qualiNed specialist workshop and
enquire about:

= Legal stipulations
= Factory recommendations &
WARNING Risk of accident wit
h high per-
formance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with the
op
timised tyre compound means that the risk
of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is
increased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temperature and tyre running
temperature. 
Switch on the ESP n
and adap
t your driv-
ing style accordingly. 
Use M M+S
tyres at outside tempera-
tures of less than 10 °C. 
Only use the tyres for their intended pur-
pose. Observe the following when selecting,
Ntting and
r
eplacing tyres:
= Country-speciNc requirements for tyre
approval that deNne a speciNc tyre type for
your vehicle. 386
Wheels and tyres

=
F urthermore, the use of certain tyre types in
certain regions and areas of operation can be
highly beneNcial.
= Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres) and the same make.
= Only Nt wheels of the same size on one axle
(les and right).
It is only permissible to Nt a diMerent wheel
size in the event of a Oat tyre in order to drive
to the specialist workshop.
= Do not make any modiNcations to the brake
system, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may invalidate the vehicle's
general operating permit.
= Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem: all Ntted wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors for the tyre pressure mon-
itoring system.
= At temperatures below 7 °C use winter tyres
or all-season tyres marked M M+S for all
wheels. Winter tyres provide the best possible grip in
wintr
y road conditions.
= For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
= Observe the maximum permissible speed for
the M+S tyres Ntted.
If the tyre's maximum speed is below that of
the vehicle, this must be indicated by an
appropriate label in the driver's Neld of vision.
= Run in new tyres at moderate speeds for the
Nrst 100 km.
= Replace the tyres aser six years at the latest,
regardless of wear.
= When replacing with tyres that do not feature
run-Oat characteristics: vehicles with
MOExtended tyres are not equipped with a
TIREFIT kit at the factory. Equip the vehicle
with a TIREFIT kit aser replacing with tyres
that do not feature run-Oat characteristics,
e.g. winter tyres.
