Tyres and wheels

Restarting the tyre pressure monitor In most cases, the tyre pressure monitor will
automatically detect the new reference val-
ues, e.g. if you have:
R
changed the tyre pressure
R changed the wheels or tyres
R fitted new wheels or tyres
If you wish to define the new reference values
manually:
X Use the table on the inside of the fuel filler
flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operating conditions.
Also observe the notes in the section on
tyre pressures (Y page 229).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock.
The standard display appears in the multi-
function display (Y page 125).
X Press the jork button to select the
Tyre pressure function or wait until the
following message appears:
Tyre pressure displayed only after
driving for a few minutes X
Press the reset button on the left of the
instrument cluster (Y page 243).
The following message appears in the
multi-function display: Check current
tyre pressure?
X Press the æbutton.
The following message appears in the
multi-function display:
Tyre pressure monitor restarted
The tyre pressure monitor has stored the
pressure of the tyres as a new reference
value.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the çbutton. Interchanging the wheels
G
Risk of accident
Interchange the front and rear wheels only
if they have the same dimensions: for exam-
ple size, offset, etc.
After every wheel interchange/change,
have the tightening torque checked at a
qualified specialist workshop that has the
necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the work required. Mercedes- Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this pur-
pose. In particular, work relevant to safety
or on safety-related systems must be car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
The wheels could work loose if they are not
tightened to a torque of 130 Nm.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use wheel bolts of the
correct size which have been approved for
Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The wheels may be interchanged every
5,000 km to 10,000 km depending on the
degree of tyre wear, provided that the vehicle
has the same size front and rear tyres. Do not
reverse the direction of tyre rotation.
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before a clear wear
pattern has formed on the tyres. The front
tyres typically wear more on the shoulders
and the rear tyres in the centre.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and,
if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or the tyre pressure moni-
tor*. Operation
* optional

X
Screw union nut 5on air hose 4onto the
valve.
X Insert plug 3into the cigarette lighter
socket* ( Ypage 209) or into a 12V socket
in your vehicle (Y page 210).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock.
X Press on/off switch 2on the electric air
pump to I.
The electric air pump is switched on. The
tyre is inflated.
X When a tyre pressure of 3.5 bar has been
reached, press 0on the electric air pump
switch.
The electric air pump is switched off.
! Do not operate the electric air pump for
longer than six minutes without a break.
Otherwise, it may overheat.
The air pump can be operated again once
it has cooled down.
If the tyre pressure is higher than 3.5 bar: X
Open the pressure release screw on the
pressure gauge until the tyre pressure is
correct.
X Disconnect the electric air pump and stow
it away.
Lowering the vehicle X
Lower the vehicle. To do this, turn the crank
of the jack anti-clockwise until the vehicle
is standing firmly on the ground again.
X Place the jack to one side. 1
–5 Wheel bolts
X Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a cross-
wise pattern in the sequence indica-
ted ( 1to5). The tightening torque must
be 130 Nm . G
Risk of accident
Have the tightening torque checked imme-
diately after a wheel is changed. The wheels
could work loose if they are not tightened
to a torque of 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it and the rest of the vehicle tool kit
in the boot/luggage compartment.
Vehicles with the "Minispare"/collapsible
emergency spare wheel*:
X Pack the faulty wheel in the protective film
provided with the "Minispare"/collapsible
emergency spare wheel* and transport the
wheel in the boot/luggage compartment.
or
X Depending on the size of the wheel, you
may also be able to secure the faulty wheel
in the spare wheel well. In this case, you
will have to remove the stowage well casing
from the spare wheel well and stow it
securely in the boot/luggage compart-
ment.
i Do not activate the tyre pressure moni-
tor* until the deflated tyre has been
removed from the vehicle. Practical advice
* optional
