the standard valve cap or other valve caps
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehi-
cle.
R You should regularly check the pressure of
all your tyres, particularly prior to long trips,
and correct the pressure as necessary
(Y page 272).
Notes on driving R
While driving, pay attentio nto vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteris-
tics, e.g. pulling to one side. This may indi-
cate that the wheels or tyres are damaged.
If you suspect that a tyre is defective,
reduce your speed immediately. Stop the
vehicle as soon as possible to check the
wheels and tyres for damage. Hidden tyre
damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no
signs of damage, have the wheels and tyres
examined at a specialist workshop, for
example at a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
R When parking your vehicle, make sure that
the tyres do not get deformed by the kerb
or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive
over kerbs, speed humps or similar eleva-
tions, try to do so slowly and at an obtuse
angle. Otherwise, the tyres, particularly the
sidewalls, can get damaged. Direction of rotation
Tyres with a specified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk
of aquaplaning. You will only gain these ben-
efits if the correct direction of rotation is
observed.
An arrow on the tyre wall indicates its correct
direction of rotation. Tyre tread
G
Risk of accident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres should be replaced when the
tread depth is 4mmorless as they will no
longer provide adequate grip.
R the tread on a tyre may not wear evenly.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the steering wheel so that you can see
the tyre tread more easily.
You could otherwise lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an acciden tdue to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Tyre pressures
i You will find a table of tyre pressures for
various operating conditions on the inside
of your vehicle's fuel fille rflap.
The value specified in the technical data is
valid for the collapsible emergency spare
wheel* 18
. G
Risk of accident
Tyre pressure that is either too high or too low
has a negative effect on vehicle safety, which
could lead you to cause an accident .There-
fore, you should regularly check the pressure
of all the tyres, particularly prior to long trips,
and correct the pressure as necessary.
Use a suitable tyre pressure gauge to do this.
The outer appearance of a tyre does not per-
mit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure. You can also check the tyre pres-
sure using the on-board computer.
