Forthisreason driving safety cannot be guar‐anteed.
#Do not use used tires ifyou havenoinformation abouttheir previous usage.
*NOTEPossible damagetowheels or tireswhen drivingover obstacles
Large wheels havea lower tire section width.The lowerthe tire section width,the greateristherisk of damagetowheels or tires whendrivingover obstacles.
#Avoid obstacles or drive particularlycarefully.
*NOTEDamagetoelectronic componentparts fromthe use of tire-mountingtools
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoringsystem:Electronic component parts arelocated inthe wheel.Tire-mountingtoolsshould not be used inthe area ofthevalve.
This couldotherwise damagethe electroniccomponent parts.
#Havethe tireschanged at aqualifiedspecialistworkshop only.
*NOTEDamagetosummer tires at lowambienttemperatures
Atlow ambienttemperatures,tears couldformwhen driving with summer tires, caus‐ing permanent damagetothe tires.
#Attemperatures below 45 °F (7 °C),use M+S tires .
Accessory partsthat are not approvedforyourvehiclebyMercedes-Benz or are not being usedcorrectly can impairthe operating safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approvedaccessories, visit aqualified specialistworkshopand inquire about:

#Makesurethe wheel bolts or wheelnuts are tightenedtothe prescribedtighteningtorque.
#Ifyou are not sure, do not movethevehicle. Consult aqualified specialistworkshop and havethe tighteningtor‐quechecked immediately.
#Checkthe tire pressure ofthe newly moun‐ted wheel and adjust accordingly.
#Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoringsystem:Restartthe tire pressure monitoringsystem (→page441).
