308 Operation
Tires and wheels
If applicable to your vehicle’s tire confi-
guration, tires can be rotated according to
the tire manufacturer’s recommended
intervals in the tire manufacturer’s
warranty pamphlet located in your vehicle
literature portfolio. If none is available,
tires should be rotated every 3 000 to
6 000 miles (5 000 to 10 000 km), or
sooner if necessary, according to the
degree of tire wear. The same rotation
(spinning) direction must be maintained
(
page 280).
Rotate tires before the characteristic tire
wear pattern becomes visible (shoulder
wear on front tires and tread center wear
on rear tires).
Thoroughly clean the mounting face of
wheels and brake disks, i.e. the inner side
of the wheels/tires, during each rotation.
Check for and ensure proper tire inflation
pressure.For information on wheel change, see the
“Practical hints” section (page 366) and
(
page 390).
Warning!G
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. Wheels could become
loose if not tightened with a torque of
97 lb-ft (130 Nm).
Only use genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel
bolts specified for your vehicle’s rims.

395 Practical hints
Flat tire
1-5 Wheel bolts
Tighten the five wheel bolts evenly,
following the diagonal sequence illus-
trated (1 to 5), until all wheel bolts
are tight. Observe a tightening torque
of 96 lb-ft (130 Nm).
Disassemble the pump handle
(
page 392).
Put the pump handle and the wheel
wrench back into the vehicle tool kit.
Store the vehicle tool kit in the
designated storage compartment
(
page 366).
Press the jack piston in again and close
the lowering screw (
page 392).
Store the jack in the designated
storage compartment (
page 367).
After changing the wheel, secure the
damaged wheel on the spare wheel
carrier (
page 369). Make sure the
wheel cannot come loose.
Check the tire inflation pressure and
correct it if necessary.
Follow recommended cold tire inflation
pressures listed on the Tire and
Loading Information placard on the
driver’s door B-pillar (
page 280).
Warning!G
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. The wheels could come
loose if they are not tightened to a torque of
