WARNING: When inflatingthe tire for mounting pressuresup to 20 psi (1.38 bar) greaterthan the maximum pressure onthe tire sidewall, the followingprecautions must be taken toprotect the person mounting thetire:
•Make sure that you have thecorrect tire and wheel size.
•Lubricate the tire bead andwheel bead seat area again.
•Stand at a minimum of 12 ft(3.66 m) away from the wheeland tire assembly.
•Use both eye and earprotection.
Important: Remember to replacethe wheel valve stems when youreplace the road tires on yourvehicle.
It is recommended that yougenerally replace the two fronttires or two rear tires as a pair ifthe worn tires still have usabledepth.
To avoid potential All-Wheel Drive(AWD) malfunction or (AWD)system damage, we recommend
you replace all four tires ratherthan mixing significantly worn tireswith new tires.
The tire pressure sensors mountedin the wheels (originally installedon your vehicle) are not designedto be used in aftermarket wheels.
The use of wheels or tires notrecommended may affect theoperation of your tire pressuremonitoring system.
If the tire pressure monitoringsystem indicator is flashing, yoursystem is malfunctioning. Yourreplacement tire might beincompatible with your tirepressure monitoring system, orsome component of the systemmay be damaged.
Age
WARNING: Tires degradeover time depending on manyfactors such as weather, storageconditions, and conditions of use(load, speed, inflation pressure)the tires experience throughouttheir lives.In general, tires should bereplaced after six yearsregardless of tread wear.However, heat caused by hotclimates or frequent high loadingconditions can accelerate theaging process and may requiretires to be replaced morefrequently.You should replace your spare
tire when you replace the roadtires or after six years due toaging even if it has not beenused.

pressures found on the SafetyCompliance Certification label, or theTire Label on the B-Pillar or the edge ofthe driver door. Failure to follow thisinstruction could result in loss of vehiclecontrol, vehicle rollover, or personal injuryor death.
The tires on your vehicle could haveall-weather treads to provide traction inrain and snow. In some climates you needto use snow tires and chains on yourvehicle in emergency situations or ifrequired by law.
Note:The suspension insulation andbumpers help prevent vehicle damage. Donot remove these components from yourvehicle when using snow tires and chains.
Note:Driving too fast for road conditionscreates the possibility of loss of vehiclecontrol. Driving at very high speeds forextended periods of time may result indamage to vehicle components.
Note:Snow chains could damagealuminum wheels.
Follow these guidelines when using snowtires and chains:
•On non-GT models, use ultra lowprofile cables, 10 mm or less indimension as measured on the sidewallof your tire, only with 225/60R18 or225/55R19 all season tires.
•On GT models, use ultra low profilecables, 10 mm or less in dimension asmeasured on the sidewall of your tire,only with 225/55R19 all season tires.
•Do not use snow chains or cables with245/45R20.
•Not all S-class snow chains or cablesmeet the same restrictions. Chains ofthis size restriction include a tensioningdevice.
•Purchase chains or cables from amanufacturer that clearly labels bodyto tire dimension restrictions.
•Install snow chains or cables in pairson the rear tires only.
•When driving with snow chains do notexceed 30 mph (50 km/h) or themaximum speed recommended by thechain manufacturer, whichever is less.
•Install cables securely, verifying thatthe cables do not touch any wiring orbrake lines.
•Drive cautiously. If you hear the cablesrub or bang against the vehicle, stopand retighten them. If this does notwork, remove the cables to preventvehicle damage.
•Remove the tire chains when they areno longer needed. Do not use snowchains on dry roads.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
When the outside temperature dropssignificantly, the tire pressure coulddecrease and activate the low tire pressurewarning lamp.
The warning lamp could also illuminatewhen you use a spare wheel, or tire sealantfrom the inflator kit.
Note:Regularly checking the vehicle tirepressures can reduce the possibility for thewarning lamp to illuminate due to outsideair temperature changes.
Note:After you inflate the tires to therecommended pressure it could take up totwo minutes of driving over 20 mph(32 km/h) for the warning indicator to turnoff.
