Tire inspection or rotation
If applicable to your vehicle’s tire configuration ( page 6), tire rotation should be performed in accordance with the
tire manufacturer’s recommended intervals, or sooner at first signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear. Tire manufac-
turer’s rotation recommendations will necessitate a tire rotation at least once in between maintenance services and at
every maintenance service based on Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals.
Should a tire rotation not be possible for your vehicle’s tire configuration an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will
check your tires for proper inflation pressure and perform a tread inspection.
The first tire inspection or rotation (if applicable) ( page 15) occurring at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center at any time up to
5,000 miles (vehicle odometer) is provided at no charge.
