Risk of accident
Due to the special tyre tread in combination
with the optimised rubber compound, there is
an increased risk of aquaplaning and skidding
on a damp or wet road surface. Make sure that
ESP ®
is activated for the corresponding road
surface conditions.
Tyre grip is noticeably reduced at low outside
temperatures and low tyre operating temper-
atures. This leads to an increased risk of skid-
ding and resulting vehicle instability. Use win-
ter tyres when the outside temperature falls
below 7†.
If others use the vehicle with the high per-
formance tyres fitted, you as the vehicle
owner must point out the safety guidelines
and/or limitations to these persons.
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for yourv ehi-
cle. These tyres have been specially adap-
ted for use with the driving safety systems,
such as ABS or ESP ®
.Ify ou use other tyres
and wheels, Mercedes-Benz cannot accept
any responsibility for damage that may
result from this. Further information about
tyres, wheels and approved combinations
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
If you use tyres other than those tested and
recommended for Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cles, characteristics such as handling, vehi-
cle noise emissions and fuel consumption
may be adversely affected. In addition, the
wheels may come into contact with the
body or axle components when heavily loa- ded or when driving with snow chains. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
i Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
i You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
You will find further information about tyre
pressures in the "Operation" section
(Y page 272).
i Always equip the vehicle as follows:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres (summer
tyres, winter tyres) Tyres and wheels
