i
Vehicles with the MOExtended run-flat
system are not equipped with the TIREFIT
kit. 36
It is therefore recommended to additionally
equipy ourvehicle with the TIREFIT kit when
fitting tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres.
i ATIREFIT kit is availablef rom any quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
You willf ind notes on driving with aflat tyre
in the "Practical advice" section
(Y page 272). Tyre tread
G
Risk of accident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres should be replaced when the
tread depth is 4mmorless as they will no
longer provide adequate grip.
R the tread on atyre may not wear evenly.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the front wheelstof ull lock in order to
inspect the tyre tread more easily.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an accident due to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Tyre pressures
i You willf indatable of tyre pressures for
variouso perating conditions on the inside
of yourv ehicle's fuel filler flap. The applicable valuef
or the "Minispare"
emergency spare wheel*i sstated on the
spare wheel and in the technical data sec-
tion.
The load condition "partially laden" or "fully
laden" is defined in the table by the differing
number of passengers and amount of lug-
gage. The actual number of seats may vary
from this –more information can be found on
the vehicle's registration document.
If no other data is stated, the tyre pressures
specified on the fuel filler flap applyf or all
tyres approved for this vehicle. If
at yre size precedes atyre pressure, the tyre
pressure information following is only valid
for that tyre size. Instead of the complete tyre size, it may be
that only the rim diameter is stated, e.g.
R16or
16".
