your vehicle switch off
defective circuits. If a fuse blo ws, all the compo‐

to operate.
Blown fuses must be replaced with fuses of an
equivalent specification, which you can de ter‐
mine bythe color and fuse rating. The fuse allo‐

Information on noise or unusual driving
ch aracteristics
While driving, pay attention tovibrations, noises
and unusual driving characteristics, e.g. pulling to
one side. This may indicate damage tothe wheels
or tires. If you suspect that a tire is defective,
re duce your speed. Stop theve hicle as soon as
possible tocheck if wheels and tires ha vebeen
damaged or are no longer functioning properly.
Hidden tire damage could also be causing the
unusual driving characteristics. If no signs of
damage can be de tected, ha vethe tires and
wheels checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Note
s onregular lyinspecting wheels and
tires &
WARNING Risk of accident from dam‐
aged tires
Dama ged tires can cause tire pressure loss.
As a result, you could lose control of your
ve hicle. #
Check the tires regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tires
immediatel y. Check
the wheels and tires of your vehicle for
damage regular ly, i.e. at least every two weeks,
as well as af ter driving off-road or on rough
ro ads. Damaged wheels can lead toa loss of tire
pressure.
Look out forth efo llowing types of damage, for
ex ample:
R cuts in the tires
R punctures in the tires
R tears in the tires
R bulges on tires
R deformation or se vere cor rosion on wheels &
WARNING Risk ofhydroplaning because
tire tread is too low
Insuf ficient tire tread will result in reduced
tire traction. The tire tread will no longer be
able todissipate water.
This increases therisk of hydroplaning on wet
ro ad sur faces, pa rticularly when tra veling at
an inappropriate speed. If
th e tire pressure is too high or too lo w,tires
may exhibit dif fere nt le vels of wear at dif fer‐
ent locations on the tire tread. #
Regular lych eck the tire tread dep thand
th e condition of the tire tread across
th e entire width of all tires.
Minimum tread dep thfor use:
R In summer: 00CEin (3 mm)
R In winter: 00CFin (4 mm) #
For saf etyre asons, ha vethe tires
re placed before the legally prescribed
limit forth e minimum tire tread dep this
re ached. Conduct
thefo llowing checks regular lyon all
wheels, at least once a month or as requ ired, e.g.
before a long journey or when driving off- road:
R check the tire pressure (/ page 234)
R check theva lve caps
Va lves must be pr otected from moisture and
dirt with valve caps specifically appr oved by
Mercedes-Benz foryo ur vehicle.
R visually inspect the tread dep thand the tire
tread across the whole tire width
Fo r use in summer, the minimum tread dep th
is 00CE in (3 mm) and for use in winter 00CFin
(4 mm). Markings

to rs (ar row ) are integ rated into the tire tread.
They are visible as soon as the tread dep this
appr oximately 00CDin (1.6 mm). Information on driving with summer tires
At temp eratures below 50 °F (10 °C) summer
tires lose elasticity and therefore traction and
braking po wer.Chan gethe tires on your vehicle
to M+S tires. Using summer tires at very cold

(/ page 240) Information on M+S tires
Use winter tires or all-season tires at temp era‐
tures below 50 °F (10 °C). Bo thtypes of tire are
identi fied bythe M+S marking.
Only winter tires bearing the004D snowflake
symbol in addition tothe M+S marking pr ovide
th e best possible grip in wintry road conditions.
On lythese tires will allow driving saf ety sy stems
such as ABS and ESP ®
to function optimal lyin

cally for driving in sno w.
Use M+S tires of the same make and tread on all
wheels tomaintain safe handling characteristics.
Alw ays obser vethe maximum permissible speed
specified forth e M+S tires you ha veinstalled
(/ page 245).
If yo u ins tall M+S tires that ha vea lo wer maxi‐
mum permissible speed than the maximum

wa rning sign in the driver's field of vision. Yo u
can obtain this at a qualified specialist workshop.
Once you ha veinstalled the winter tires, take the
fo llowing measures:

WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct ins tallation of snow chains
Ve hicles with rear-wheel drive: ifyo u ha ve
ins talled snow chains tothe front wheels,
th ey may drag against theve hicle body or

This could cause damage totheve hicle or the
tires. #
Never ins tall snow chains on the front

WARNING Risk of accident due to
unsuitable sn ow chains
Ve hicles with all-wheel drive do not ha vesuf‐

R Tire malfunctions as a result of overheating
R Impaired handling characteristics
R Irre gular wear
R Increased fuel consum ption &
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐

of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr aveled less than 1 mile

A rise in the tire temp erature of 18°F (10 °C)
increases the tire pressure byappr ox.10 kPa
