service MERCEDES-BENZ G-Class 2017 W463 Service Manual

If "T" precedes the size description: these are
compact emergency spare wheelsathigh tire
pressure, to be used only temporarilyina n
emergency.
Tire width:tire width :shows the nominal tire
width in millimeters.
Height-width ratio: height-width ratio;is the
ratio between tire height and tire width. The
aspect ratio is calculated by dividing the tire
width by the tire height. The resulting quotient is
given as apercentage.
Tire code: tire code=shows the tire type. "R"
represents radial tires; "D" represents diagonal
tires; "B" represents diagonal radial tires.
Optionally, tires with amaximum speed of over
149 mph (240 km/h )may have "ZR "inthe size
description, depending on the manufacturer
(e.g. 245/40 ZR 18).
Rim diameter: rim diameter?is the diameter
of the bead seat, not the diameter of the rim
flange. The rim diameter is specifiedi n
inches (in).
The load-bearingi ndex:load-bearing index A
(also load index), is acode that contains the
maximum load-bearing capacity of atire.
Do not overloadt he tires by exceeding the
specifiedl oad limit. The maximum permissible
load can be found on the vehicle's Tire and
Loading Information placard on the B-pillaro n
the driver's side (
Ypage 260).
Example:
Load-bearing index 91 indicates amaximum
load of 1,356 lb (615 kg) that the tires can bear.
Further information on the maximum tire load in
kilograms and pounds (
Ypage 266).
For further information on the load bearing
index, see "Loadi ndex" (
Ypage 266).
Speed rating:speed rating Bspecifiest he
approved maximum speed of the tire.
iTire data is vehicle-specific and may deviate
from the data in the example.
Regardless of the speed rating, always observe
the speed limits. Drive carefully and adapt your driving style to the traffic conditions.
iSince 2009, tires in Europe which corre-
spond to the noise limitations of Directive
ECE-R 117 show an >>S<< (Sound) mark. This
marking is in accordance with the type
approval number and is not connected to the
speed ra

ting. Summer tires

ZRover 149 mph (240 km/h)
ROptionally, tires with
amaximum speed of
over 149 mph (240 km/h) may have "ZR "in
the size description, depending on the man-
ufacturer (e.g. 245/40 ZR18).
The service specification is made up of load-
bearing index Aand speed rating B.
RIf the size descriptionofy ourtire includes
"ZR"a nd there are no service specifications,
ask the tire manufacture rinorder to find out
the maximum speed.
If as ervice specification is available, the max-
imum speed is limited according to the speed rating in the service specification. Example:
245/40 ZR18 97 Y.In this example," 97 Y" is
the service specification. The letter "Y" rep-
resents the speed rating and the maximum
speed of the tire is limited to 186 mph
(300 km/h).
RThe size descriptionf or all tires with maxi-
mum speedsofo ver 186 mph (300 km/h)
must include "ZR", andthe service specifica-
tion must be given in parentheses.E xample:
275/40 ZR 18 (99 Y) .Speed rating "(Y)" indi-
cates that the maximum speed of the tire is
over 186 mph (300 km/h). Ask the tire man-
ufacturer aboutt he maximum speed.

ment confirmed in the service report.
Comply with the important safety precautions
for service products whe nhandling coolant
(
Ypage 276).
The coolant is amixture of water and anti-
freeze/corrosion inhibitor. It performs the fol-
lowing tasks:

Important safety notes
GWARNING
Windshield washer concentrate could ignite if it comes into contact with hot engine compo-
nentsort he exhaust system. There is arisk of
fire and injury.
Make sure that no windshield washer con-
centrate is spilled next to the filler neck.
!Do not add distilled or de-ionized water to

blocked.
Do not use distilled or de-ionized water. Other-
wise, the level sensor may give afalse reading.
When handling washer fluid, observe the impor-
tant safety notes on service products
(
Ypage 276).
At temperatures above freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and windshield washer fluid, e.g. MB
SummerFit.
Add 1part MB SummerFit to 100 parts water.
At temperatures below freezing:
XFill the washer fluid reservoir with amixture of
water and washer fluid, e.g. MB WinterFit.
For the correctm ixing ratio refer to the infor-
mation on the antifreeze reservoir.

Climate control system refrigerant
Important safety notes
The climate control system of your vehicle is fil-
led with refrigerant R‑ 134a.
The instruction label regarding the refrigerant
type used can be found on the radiator cross
member.
!Only the refrigerant R‑134a and the PAG oil
approved by Mercedes-Benz may be used.
The approved PAG oil may not be mixed with
any other PAG oil that is not approved for
R-134a refrigerant.O therwise, the climate
control system may be damaged.
Servicew ork, such as refilling with refrigerant or
replacing component parts, may only be carried
out by aqualified specialist workshop. All appli-
cable regulations must be adhered to, SAE
standard J639 included.
Always have work on the climate control system carried out at aqualified specialist workshop.
