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 341).=
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 front
wheels, they may drag against the vehicle
body or chassis components. 
Never Nt sno
w chains to the front
wheels. 
Only Nt sno
w chains on the rear wheels
in pairs. 340

NOTE Damag e to components of the vehi-
cle body or chassis due to Ntted snow
chains If you
Nt sno
w chains to the front wheels of
4MATIC vehicles, you may damage compo-
nents of the vehicle body or chassis. 
Only Nt sno
w chains to the rear wheels
of 4MATIC vehicles. Observe the following notes when using snow
c

hains:
= Snow chains are only permissible for certain
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
= For safety reasons, only use snow chains that
have been speciNcally approved for your vehi-
cle by Mercedes-Benz, or snow chains with
the same quality standard.
= Comply with the installation instructions of the
snow chain manufacturer.
= If snow chains are Ntted, the maximum per-
missible speed is 50 km/h. =
V
ehicles with Active Parking Assist: do not use
Active Parking Assist when snow chains are
Ntted.
= Vehicles with level control: if snow chains are
Ntted, only drive at raised vehicle level
( page 219).
% You can permanently limit the maximum
speed f

or driving with winter tyres
(  page 193).
% You can deactivate ESP n
t
o pull away
( page 186). This allows the wheels to spin,
achieving an increased driving force. Tyre pressure

WARNING Risk of accident due t
o insuP-
cient or excessive tyre pressure
UnderinOated or o
verinOated tyres pose in par-
ticular the following risks:
= The tyres can burst. =
The tyr
es can wear excessively and/or
unevenly.
= The driving characteristics as well as the
steering and braking characteristics may
be greatly impaired. 
Comply with the recommended tyre
pr

essure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres, including the spare wheel, regu-
larly:
= mont

= before embarking on a longer journey
= if operating conditions change, e.g. oM-
road driving 
Adjust the tyre pressure, if necessary. Tyre pressure which is too high or too low can:

&
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 342).
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 v
ehicle 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 343).
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.
If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pressure,
the following tyre pressure information is only
valid for those tyre sizes and their respective load
condition. 342
Wheels and tyres

If the preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
t
he

observe the notes on cold tyres
( pag
e 341).
% 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.

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
r

ating and speed rating required for your
vehicle. *
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. 346
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,
