WARNING
ARNING Risk of injury due todamaged

Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss. #
Check the tyres regular lyfor signs of
damage and replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. Check
the wheels and tyres of your vehicle for
damage regular ly, i.e. at least everytwo weeks, as
we ll as aTer driving o.- road or on rough roads.
Damaged wheels can lead toa loss of tyre pres-
sure.
Look out forth efo llowing types of damage, for
ex ample:
R cuts in the tyres
R punctures in the tyres
R tears in the tyres
R bulges on tyres
R deformation or se vere cor rosion on wheels &
W WARNING
ARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to
insu1cient tyre tread
Insu1cient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre
gr ip.
The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet
ro ads, especially when the speed of theve hicle
is not adap tedto suit the conditions. #
Thus, you should regular lych eck the
tread dep thand the condition of the
tread across the entire width of all tyres. Minimum tread dep
thfor:
R Summer ty res: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm #
For saf etyre asons, replace the tyres
before the legall y-prescribed limit forthe
minimum tread dep thisreached. Conduct
thefo llowing checks regular lyon all
wheels, at least once a month or as requ ired, e.g.
before a long journey or when driving o.- road:
R check the tyre pressure (/ page 253)
R check theva lve caps
Va lves must be pr otected from moisture and
dirt with valve caps speci/cally appro vedby
Mercedes-Benz foryo ur vehicle.
R visually inspect the tread dep thand the tyre

The system checks the tyre pressure and the tyre
te mp erature of the tyres /t tedtotheve hicle by
means of a tyre pressure sensor.
Ne w tyre pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tyres, are
automatical ly taught-in during the /r stjourney they
are used.
It is the driver's responsibility toset the tyre pres-
sure tothere commended cold tyre pressure suita-
ble forth e operating situation (/ page 253).
No tethat the cor rect tyre pressure forth e cur rent
ope rating situation must /rst be taught-in tothe
tyre pressure monitoring system. If a substantial
loss of pressure occurs, thewa rning thre shold for
th ewa rning message is alignedtotheta ught-in
re fere nce values. Restart the tyre pressure monitor
aTer adjusting tothe cold tyre pressure (/
page 258). The cur rent pressures are sa ved as
new refere nce values. This will ensure that a warn-
ing message will only appear if the tyre pressure
drops signi/cantl y.
The h warning lamp in the inst rument cluster
displa ysa de tected pressure loss or a malfunction
as follo ws:
R ifth eh warning lamp is lit continuousl y,
th e tyre pressure on one or more tyres is sig-
ni/cant lytoo lo w.The tyre pressure moni tor is
not malfunctioning.
R ifth eh warning lamp 0ashes for around a
minute and then remains lit cons tantl y,the tyre
pressure monitor is malfunctioning.
R a message also appears in the inst rument clus-
te r.
