Index7

Curbweight
The weight ofavehicle with standard
equipment includingthemaximum capacity
of fuel, oil and coolant.Italso includes the air-
conditioningsystem and optional equipment
if these are installed in the vehicle, but does
not include passengers or luggage.
Maximumload rating
The maximum tireload is the maximum
permissible weight in kilograms or lbs for
whichatireisapproved.
Maximumpermissible tirepressure
Maximum permissible tirepressure for one
tire.
Maximumload on one tire
Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated
by dividingthe maximum axle load of one axle
by two.
PSI (pounds per squareinch)
Astandardunitofmeasure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio
Relationship between tire height and tire
width in percent.
Tirepressure
This is pressure inside the tire applying an
outward forcetoeach square inch of the tire's
surface. The tire pressure is specified in
pounds per square inch (psi), in kilopascal
(kPa) or in bar. The tire pressure should only
be corrected when the tires are cold.
Cold tirepressure
The tires are cold:
Rif the vehicle has been parked without
direct sunlight on the tires for at least three
hours and
Rif the vehicle has been driven for less than
1mile (1.6 km).
Tread
The part of the tire that comes intocontact
with the road.
Bead
The tire bead ensures that the tire sits
securely on the wheel. There are several steel
wires in the bead to preventthe tire from
comingloose from the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the
bead.
Weight of optional extras
The combined weight of those optional extras
that weigh more than the replaced standard
parts and more than 2.3 kilograms (5 lbs).
These optional extras, such as high-
performance brakes, level control,aroof rack
orahigh-performancebattery, are not
included in the curb weight and the weight of
the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number)
This isaunique identifier which can be used
byatire manufacturer to identify tires, for
example foraproduct recall, and thus identify
the purchasers. The TIN is made up of the
manufacturer's identity code, tire size, tire
type code and the manufacturing date.
Load bearing index
The load bearing index (also load index) is a
code that contains the maximum load bearing
capacity ofatire.
Traction
Traction is the result of friction between the
tires and the road surface.
Treadwear indicators
Narrow bars (tread wear bars) that are
distributed over the tire tread. If the tire tread
is level with the bars, the wear limit ofin
(1.6 mm) has been reached.
356All about wheels and tires
Wheels and tires

Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz according to MB Approval 331.0.
Information aboutapproved brake fluid can
be obtainedatany qualified specialist
workshop or on the Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.
iHave the brake fluid regularly replaced at
aqualified specialist workshop and the
replacementconfirmed in the Maintenance
Booklet.
Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreezecomes into contact with hot
components in the engine compartment, it
may ignite. There isarisk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add
antifreeze. Make sure that antifreezeisnot
spilled next to the filler neck.Thoroughly
clean the antifreeze from components before
startingthe engine.
!Only add coolant that has been premixed
with the desired antifreezeprotection. You
couldotherwise damage the engine.
Further information on coolants can be
found in the Mercedes-Benz Specifications
for Service Products, MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1, e.g. on the
Internet at
http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com.Or
contactaqualified specialist workshop.
!Always useasuitable coolant mixture,
even in countries where high temperatures
prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is not
sufficiently protected from corrosionand
overheating.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products when handling coolant
(Ypage373).
The coolant isamixture of water and
antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs
the following tasks:
Rcorrosionprotection
Rantifreeze protection
Rraising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down
to -35‡(-37†),the boiling point of the
coolant during operationisapproximately
266‡(130 †).
The antifreeze/corrosion inhibitor
concentration in the engine cooling system
should:
Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the engine
cooling system against freezing down to
approximately -35‡(-37 †).
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection
down to -49‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat
will not be dissipated as effectively.
If the vehicle has lost coolant, add equal
amounts of water and antifreeze/corrosion
inhibitor.
Mercedes-Benz recommends an antifreeze/
corrosion inhibitor concentrate in
accordance with MB Specifications for
Service Products 310.1.
The coolant is checked with every
maintenance interval ataqualified specialist
workshop.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is
filled withacoolant mixture that ensures
adequate antifreeze and corrosion
protection.
