CareMaintenance and care

The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1.6 km
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.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have a negative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus driving safety (e.g. aqua-
planing)
i The tyre pressure values given for low
loads are minimum values which offer you
good ride comfort characteristics.
However, you can also use the values given for higher loads. These are permissible andwill not adversely affect the running of the
vehicle.
The values on the tyre pressure information
label (fuel filler flap) for the vehicle in "parti-
ally laden" and "fully laden" conditions apply
when driving at maximum speed.
Despite the values stated on the tyre pressure
information label, for the vehicle with "parti-
ally laden up to 210 km/h" status, the val-
ues can be reduced as follows, without com-
promising safety:
R Ò20 kPa (Ò0.2 bar/Ò3 psi) for all models
This improves the ride comfort of your vehi-
cle; however, fuel consumption may increase slightly. Tyre pressure monitor
General notes If a tyre pressure monitor system is fitted, the
vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tyre pressures in all four tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor warns you if the
pressure drops in one or more of the tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor only functions if
the corresponding sensors are fitted to all
wheels.
Information on tyre pressures is shown in the multifunction display. After a few minutes of
driving, the current tyre pressure of each tyre
is shown in the Service Servicemenu of the multi-
function display, see illustration (example). For information on the message display, refer
to the "Checking the tyre pressure electroni-
cally" section (Y page 382).
Important safety notes It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre
pressure to the recommended cold tyre pres-
sure suitable for the operating situation
(Y page 380). Note that the correct tyre pres-
sure for the current operating situation must
first be taught-in to the tyre pressure monitor. If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message isaligned to the reference values taught-in.
Restart the tyre pressure monitor after
adjusting to the cold tyre pressure
(Y page 383). The current pressures are
saved as new reference values. This will Tyre pressure
381Wheels and tyres Z

ensure that a warning message will only
appear if the tyre pressure drops significantly.
The tyre pressure monitor does not warn you of an incorrectly set tyre pressure. Observe
the notes on the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 380).
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
event of a sudden loss of pressure, bring the
vehicle to a halt by braking carefully. Avoid
abrupt steering manoeuvres.
The tyre pressure monitor has a yellow warn-
ing lamp in the instrument cluster for indicat- ing a pressure loss or malfunction. Depending
on how the warning lamp flashes or lights up, a tyre pressure that is too low or a malfunc-
tion in the tyre pressure monitor is indicated:
R if the warning lamp is lit continuously, the
tyre pressure on one or more tyres is sig-
nificantly too low. The tyre pressure moni-
tor is not malfunctioning.
R if the warning lamp flashes for around a
minute and then remains lit constantly, the tyre pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
In addition to the warning lamp, a message
appears in the multifunction display. Observe
the information on display messages
(Y page 295).
It may take up to ten minutes for a malfunc-
tion of the tyre pressure monitor to be indi-
cated. A malfunction will be indicated by the
tyre pressure warning lamp flashing for
approximately one minute and then remain-
ing lit. When the fault has been rectified, the
tyre pressure warning lamp goes out after you
have driven for a few minutes.
The tyre pressure values indicated by the on- board computer may differ from those meas-
ured at a filling station using a pressure
gauge. The tyre pressures shown by the on-
board computer refer to those measured at
sea level. At high altitudes, 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
pressures.
The operation of the tyre pressure monitor
can be affected by interference from radio
transmitting equipment (e.g. radio head-
phones, two-way radios) that may be being
operated in or near the vehicle.

cally X

General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle. These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with a load, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components. This could result in dam- age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories other than those tes- ted and approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not fit
used tyres if you have no information about their previous usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as a result of driving over obstacles
increases. Wheel and tyre combinations

as control units, sensors, actuating com-
ponents and connector leads, at a qualified specialist workshop. Vehicle components
may otherwise wear more quickly and the
vehicle's operating permit may be invalida- ted.
! Engine management measures under-
taken to increase performance can lead to
increased wear and tear or damage to the
drive system. Retrofitting two-way radios and
mobile phones (RF transmitters)
G
WARNING
If RF transmitters are tampered with or not
properly retrofitted, the electromagnetic radi- ation they emit can interfere with the vehicle
electronics. This may jeopardise the opera-
tional safety of the vehicle. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should have all work on electrical and
electronic components carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you operate RF transmitters incorrectly in
the vehicle, the electromagnetic radiation
could interfere with the vehicle electronics,
e.g.:
R if the RF transmitter is not connected to an
exterior aerial
R the exterior aerial has been fitted incor-
rectly or is not a low-reflection type
This could jeopardise the operating safety of
the vehicle. There is a risk of an accident.
Have the low-reflection exterior aerial fitted at
a qualified specialist workshop. When oper-
ating RF transmitters in the vehicle, always
connect them to the low-reflection exterior
aerial.
! The operating permit may be invalidated if
the instructions for installation and use of
RF transmitters are not observed.
In particular, the following conditions must be complied with:
R only approved wavebands may be used.
R observe the maximum permissible out-
put in these wavebands.
R only approved aerial positions may be
used.
Excessive levels of electromagnetic radiation
may cause damage to your health and to the
health of others. The use of an exterior aerial
