Maintenance Booklet6IntroductionInterior filters (e.g. dust filter, recircu-
lating air filter, activated charcoal filter or
combination filter) are replaced accord-
ing to the maintenance intervals listed.
Under severe dust conditions, or with the
Climate Control frequently operating in
the air recirculation mode, the respective
filter should be replaced correspondingly
sooner.
Tire inspection - Your vehicle’s tires are
a critical component to overall vehicle
performance and vehicle stability. The
useful life of tires will vary and is
proportional to tire type, speed rating,
ambient conditions, tire loading, tire
inflation pressure, road surfaces, and
individual driving style, among other
factors. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz
recommends regular checks for wear and
proper inflation.
The first tire inspection, which includes
checking for proper inflation pressure
and tread condition, is at no charge pro-
vided it is performed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center prior to
5,000 miles on the vehicle odometer.
For your convenience, this Maintenance
Booklet contains a tire inspection confir-
mation page on which you can record the
date and mileage when tire inspections
were performed.
Tire rotation - Tire rotations can only be
performed on vehicles with the same tire
dimensions on all four wheels (e.g. winter
tires). In cases where your vehicle is
configured with staggered tire sizes
(different tire sizes, front vs. rear), tire
rotations are not possible.
If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows
for rotation, tire rotation should be
performed by observing a front-to-rear
pattern that will maintain the intended
rotational (spinning) direction of the tire
(on unidirectional tires, an arrow on the
sidewall indicates the intended rotation
or spinning direction of the tire) and in
accordance with the tire manufacturer’s
recommended intervals, or sooner at first
signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear.
