ombinations General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle. These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE =Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz.C er-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with aload, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components. This could result in dam- age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories other than those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz,s ince
previous damage cannot alway sbedetec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As aresult,
Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not fit
used tyres if you have no information about their previous usage.
! Large wheels: the lower the section width
for acertain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfor tisonp oor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfor tare reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as aresult of driving over obstacles
increases. Wheel and tyrec

You will find atable with recommended tyre
pressures for various operating conditions on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. For
further information on tyre pressure, see
(Y page 420). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold.
Notes on the vehicle equipment –always fit
