Tires

D
For service conversions, the tire/disc wheel specifications and

dimensions should be compared with the entries in the
registration papers.

D
When mounting tires, the tires and rims must be carefully

matched in order to guarantee the concentricity of the wheel.

Identification of matching points on:

- Tires with a colored dot on the outside of the tire,

- Sheet steel disk wheel by a colored dot or punch mark on the

outside of the wheel,

- Perform this operation at the valve stem hole on light-alloy

disk wheels

With an additional paint spot or punch mark in the rim base

for the 140 Model Series.

D
Always replace the rubber valve.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D

Damaged and defective tires must always be replaced. The

repair methods employed in the tire trade are not approved by

Mercedes-Benz. Small nicks (<0.8mm) on the tire's sidewall do

not usually pose a cause for concern, and continued use of

such tires is approved

D When replacing just one tire, install it on the front of the vehicle.

This does not apply to vehicles with different tires of varying

specifications on the front and rear wheels.

D
Only use tires listed in the valid Service Information bulletins

and repair instructions.

D
If the permissible maximum speed of an M+S tire is below the

maximum speed of the vehicle, an appropriate adhesive plate

must be attached in the driver's field of view.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D
Tires permissible for higher speeds may be used.

D
Always fit all rims with tires of the same design, make and

version.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D

Run in new tires for approx. 100 km at moderate speed.

D
Handed tires must be installed according to the arrow on the

side wall of the tire.

D
Tires are subject to an aging process with negative effects on

the properties of the tire. In order to ensure optimum

effectiveness in winter, M+S tires should not be used for longer

than 3 years.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tire pressure

(For specified values see tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap, on

the Vaneo BM 414 see B-pillar on the passenger side).
Too low tire pressure increases the rolling resistance and increases

the flexing energy of the tire. This causes the critical temperature limit

to be exceeded (carcass detachment) and destroys the tire. Respond

to loss of tire pressure by determining the source and replacing the

tire as indicated.

Cleaning

Using a spray wand with high-pressure nozzles to clean the wheel

can lead to tire damage. Such damage occurs especially on the tire

side walls. The following should be observed when using flat jet

nozzles:

D
Maintain a minimum distance of 300 mm

D
Do not direct the water jet at a single point on the surface of the

tire for any length of time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mounting in bearings

Before putting into storage, clean tires thoroughly and check for
damage and adequate tread depth. Mark the position and running

direction of the tires with chalk. Do not store tires outdoors. Under the

influence of sunlight, heat, moving air and ozone the rubber looses

elasticity and strength, ages more quickly and becomes cracked.

Storage areas should be dry, cool and dark. Avoid drafts by keeping

doors and windows closed as much as possible. Do not bring tires

into contact with gasoline, oil or other greases as they dissolve the

rubber.

Disposal

Collection, storage and disposal should be performed in accordance

with the legal requirements and the company's own regulations.

Do not remove wheel sensor for this.


Do not use compressed air, solvents or

detergents to clean the wheel sensor. Wipe

off dirt with a clean, lint-free cloth only.

Do not retighten the female torx bolt and

union nut.

Replace all valve components of wheel

electronics if:
D
The wheel sensor mounting bolt or union

nut is visibly loose.

Mounting

10
Moisten rim flange and tire beads with soapy

water and align assembly head at a small

distance (X, Y) to the disk wheel

Only use soapy water for fitting and

removing tires.

11
Place tire obliquely on the rim and pull on

over the rim flange using the tire installer


Position wheels with wheel sensors so

that the wheel sensor is approximately 180°

opposite the mounting head.

Do not apply compressive force to the wheel
sensor otherwise it will be damaged.


Observe the running direction on tires with

specified running direction.


Put as little stress as possible on bead

area.

12
Align the match points of the tire and disk

wheel with each other and remove the disk

wheel with tire from the tire mounting device

13
Inflate tires without valve element up to max.

3 bar

Do
not
unscrew valve element on disk

wheels with tire pressure monitor sensor.

The tire must slide evenly over the safety

shoulders of the disk wheel, otherwise coat

the tire beads with soapy water again.

14
Screw the valve element into the valve (43g)

and adjust the tire inflation pressure to the

specified value

Observe the tire pressure information in

the fuel filler flap of the vehicle.

Note

TIREFIT tire sealant has a shelf life of 3 or 4 years depending on the version, measured from the

date of manufacture marked on the container. The TIREFIT tire sealant must be replaced after

this date.

Application

TIREFIT tire sealant can be used at the roadside to seal minor punctures, in particular in the

tread. After this the tire will be finitely operational.

F
Tires which have been treated with TIREFIT tire sealant must not be repaired. The should

be replaced with new tires of the same type and specifications from the same manufacturer.

F
To prevent odor emission by TIREFIT tire sealant, deflate tire outdoors.

F
The TIREFIT tire sealant must not come into contact with skin,

eyes or clothing. If tire sealant comes into contact with skin,

eyes or clothing, rinse immediately with clean water.

Call a physician immediately if allergic reactions occur.

Keep the TIREFIT tire sealant away from children. If TIREFIT

tire sealant is swallowed, induce vomiting and call a physician

immediately.
Regulations for disposal

Dispose of used or obsolete TIREFIT in a container designed for

paint shop waste (see Workshop Equipment Manual Volume 2,

Chapter U, Group 00 (22), Subject 2.3).
When using TIREFIT always avoid fire, open flames and smoking,

avoid arcing, and avoid inhaling the fumes fro the product.
