ded* (tyres with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information aboutt yres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
! If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz,c harac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, tyre dimensional variations could
cause the tyres to come into contact with
the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
i Further information aboutt yres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. i
You will find atable of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
You will find further information aboutt yre
pressures in the "Operation" section
(Y page 186).
i Notes on vehicle tyres:
Always
R fit tyres of the same size on agiven axle

R fit the same type of tyres on your vehicle
at ag iven time (summer tyres, winter
tyres, MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with the MOExtended run-flat
system are not equipped with the TIREFIT
kit. 63
Therefore, it is recommended that you
additionally equip your vehicle with the
TIREFIT kit* when fitting tyres that do not
feature run-flat properties, e.g. winter
tyres.
i ATIREFIT kit is available from any quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. aMercedes-
Benz Service Centre. Tyres of the same dimensions
