Ris
koff ire
Only use fuses that have been approve dfor
Mercedes-Ben zvehicles and which have the
cor rect fuse rating for the systems con-
cerned. Do not attempt to repai rorbridge
faulty fuses .Otherwise, acircuit overload
could cause afire. Have the cause traced and
rectified at aqualified specialist workshop,
e.g. aMercedes-Benz Ser vice Centre. Blow
nfuses must be replaced with fuses of
the same rating, which you can recognise by
the colour and value. The fuse ratings are lis-
ted in the fuse allocation chart .AMercedes-
Ben zService Cent rewill be happy to advise
you.
If the newly inserted fuse also blows, have the
cause traced and rectified at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-Benz
Ser vice Centre.
! Onlyuse fuses that hav ebeen approved
for Mercedes-Ben zvehicles and which

Risk of accident
Tyres, wheels or accessories which have not
been approved by Mercedes-Benz for your
vehicle or are not used as they should be, can
impair drivin gsafety. As aresult, you could
cause an accident. Befor epurchasing and
using them, enquire about their suitability,
legal stipulatio nsand factory recommenda-
tions at aMercedes-Benz Ser vice Centre.
! For safety reasons ,Mercedes-Ben zrec-
ommends that you only use tyres, wheels
and accessories which have been approved
by Mercedes-Ben zspecifically for your
vehicle. These tyres have been specially
adapted for use with the contro lsystems,
such as AB SorESP®
,a nd are marked as
follows:
R MO =Mercedes-Ben zOriginal
R MOE =Mercedes-Ben zOriginal Extended
(tyres with run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-Ben zOriginal (AMG)
Only use Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
tyres on wheels that have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If you use other tyres, wheels and acces-
sories, Mercedes-Benz cannot accept any
responsibility for damage that may result
from this. Further informat ionabout tyres,
wheels and approved combinations can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre. !
Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot alway sbedetec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As aresult,
Mercedes-Ben zcannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreade dtyres are fitted. Do not
fit use dtyres if you have no information
about their previous usage.
Mod ification work on the brake system and
wheels is not permitted, nor is the use of
space rplates or brake dust shields .This inva-
lidates the Genera lOperating Permit for the
vehicle.
i Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes- Benz Servic eCentre. Directives to be observed
R Only fit tyres and wheels of the same type
and make.
R Only fit tyres of the correc tsize ont othe
wheels.
R Afterf itting new tyres, run them in at mod-
erate speeds for the first 100 km as they
only reach their full performanc eafter this
distance.
R Do not drive wit htyres which have too little
tread depth ,asthis significantly reduces
the traction on wet roads (aquaplaning).
R While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteris-
tics, e.g. pulling to one side. This ma yindi-
cate that the wheels or tyres are damaged.
If you suspect that atyre is defective,
reduce your speed immediately. Stop the
vehicle as soo naspossible to chec kthe
wheels and tyres for damage. Hidden tyre
damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you fin dno
signs of damage, hav ethe wheels and tyres
examined at aspecialist workshop, for 298

Tyres with aspecified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk
of aquaplaning. You will only gain these ben-
efits if the correct direction of rotation is
observed.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates
its correct direction of rotation.
You may fit an emergenc yspare wheel/spare
wheel against the direction of rotation.
Observe the tim erestric tion on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the emer-
genc yspare wheel/spar ewheel. Interchanging th
ewheels G
Ris
kofa ccident
Interchange the front and rear wheels only if
they have the same dimensions: for example
size, offset, etc.
After every wheel interchange/change, have
the tightening torque checked at aqualified
specialist workshop that has the necessary
specialist knowledg eand tool stocarry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use aMercedes-Ben zService
Centr efor this purpose. In particular ,work

! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
caus ethe tyres to com einto contact with
the bod ywork and axle components. This
could result in dam agetot he tyres or the
vehicle.
i Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Servic eCentre.
i You will fin datable of tyre pressures on
the insid eofyourv ehicle' sfuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 299).
i Notes on the vehicle equipment:
Always fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on agiven axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at agiven
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles featurin gthe MOExtended run-
fla ts ystem are not equipped with the
TIREFIT kit.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT
kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-
flat properties, e.g. winter tyres.
AT IREFIT kit is availa blef rom any qu alified

Mercedes-Ben ztests genuin eparts and con-
version parts and accessories which have
been specifically approved for your vehicle for
their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoing market research, Mercedes -Benz is
unabl etoe valuate othe rparts. Mercedes-
Ben ztherefore accepts no responsibility for
the use of such parts in Mercedes-Ben zvehi-
cles, even if they have been independently or
officially approved.
In Germany and some other coun tries, certain
parts are only officially approved for installa-
tion or modification if they comply with legal
requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts meet this requirement .The use of non-
approved parts ma yinvalidat ethe vehicle's
general operating permit. This is the case if: R
they cause achange of the vehicle type
from that for whic hthe vehicle' sgeneral
operating permit was granted.
R other road users could be endangered.
R the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
The use of non-approved part scould affect
your vehicle' soperating safety .Therefore,
Mercedes-Ben zrecom mends genuine
Mercedes-Ben zparts and conversion parts
and accessories that have been approved for
