gasoline engine. Do not switch on the
ignition if you accidentally refuel with the
wrong fuel. Otherwise, the fuel will enter
the fuel system. Even small amounts of the
wrong fuel could result in damage to the
fuel system and the engine. The repair
costs are high. Notify aqualified specialist
worksho pand have th efuel tan kand fuel
lines draine dcompletely.
! Overfilling the fuel tank could damage the
fuel system.
! Take car enot to spill any fuel on painted
surfaces .You could otherwise damage the
paintwork.
! Use afilter when refueling from afuel can.
Otherwise, the fuel lines and/or injection
system could be blocked by particles from
the fuel can.
Do not get into the vehicle again during the
refueling process. Otherwise, electrostatic
charge could build up again.
If you overfill the fuel tank,f uel could spray

wheels and tires for your vehicle can be found
in the "Wheel/tire combinations" section
(Y page 362).
Information on air pressure for the tires on
your vehicle can be found:

Information on driving
If the vehicle is heavily loaded, check the tire
pressures and correct them if necessary.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that
the wheels or tires are damaged. If you
suspect that atire is defective, reduce your
speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon

if these are installed in the vehicle, but does
not include passengers or luggage.
Maximu mload rating
The maximum tir eload is the maximum
permissible weight in kilograms or lbs for
which atireisa pproved.
Maximu mpermissible tir epressure
Maximum permissible tir epressure for one
tire.
Maximu mload on one tire
Maximum load on one tire. This is calculated
by dividin gthe maximum axle load of one axle
by two.
PSI (pounds per squar einch)
As tandar dunitofm easure for tire pressure.
Aspect ratio
Relationship between tire height and tire
width in percent.
Tirep ressure
This is pressure inside the tire applying an
outward forc etoeach 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 tirep ressure
The tires are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked without
direct sunlight on the tires for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has been driven for less than
1m ile (1.6 km). Tread
The part of the tire that comes intoc
ontact
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 preven tthe tire from
comin gloose from the wheel rim.
Sidewall
The part of the tire between the tread and the

TIN (Tire Identification Number)
This is aunique identifier which can be used
by atire manufacturer to identify tires, for
example for aproduct 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 of atire.
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 of 0014in
(1.6 mm) has been reached. 356

ombinationsGeneral notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you only use tires and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your
vehicle.
These tires have been specially adapted for
use with the control systems, such as ABS
or ESP ®
,a nd are marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-BenzO riginal
R MOE =Mercedes-BenzO riginal Extended
(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-Benz Original (only
certain AMG tires)
Mercedes-BenzO riginal Extended tires
may only be usedonw heels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories
tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Certain characteristics, e.g. handling,
vehicl enoise emissions or fuel
consumption, may otherwise be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tire dimension variations coul dcause
the tires to come into contact with the
bodywork and axle components. This could
result in damage to the tires or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tires,
wheels or accessories other than those
tested and approved. Information on tires, wheels and approved
combinations can be obtained from any
qualified specialist workshop.
Overvie wofabbreviations usedint he
following tire tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle
The recommended pressures for various
operating conditionsc an be found:
R on the Tire and Loading Information placard
with the recommended tire pressures on
the B-pillar on the driver's side
R in the tire pressure table on the inside of
the fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire
pressures under various operating conditions
(Y page 338).
Check tire pressures regularly,a nd only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the
maintenancer ecommendations of the tire
manufacturer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment –always
