!Please compare the recommended tire
inflation pressure for your vehicle with
the tire inflation pressure on the yellow
label located on the spare wheel rim.
If the tire inflation pressure on the yel-
low label on the spare wheel rim differs
from the values given in this Operator’s
Manual, inflate the spare wheel tire to
the recommended tire inflation pres-
sure given on the yellow label on the
spare wheel rim.
iPlease note that the tire inflation pres-
sure of the Minispare tire and the
collapsible tire differs from the tire
inflation pressure of the road tires.
Make sure the Minispare tire is inflated
to approximately 61 psi (4.2 bar).
Inflate the collapsible tire to approxi-
mately 51 psi (3.5 bar).
iThe CLS 55 AMG with Performance
Package* does not have a spare wheel.
The CLS 55 AMG with Performance
Package* is equipped with TIREFIT
(page 419).
