short time. This is rectified after a few
minutes of driving, and the tyre pressures
are displayed for the correct positions.
Interchanging the wheels
G
Risk of accident
Interchange the front and rear wheels only if
they have the same dimensions: for example
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 recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist 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 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. Front tyres
typically wear more on the tyre shoulders and
the rear tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5000 km to 10,000 km depending on
the degree of tyre wear. Do not reverse the
direction of tyre rotation.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time a wheel
is interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and
reactivate the tyre pressure monitor if neces-
sary.
! As your vehicle is fitted with a tyre pres-
sure monitor, electronic components are
located in the wheel. Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in
the area of the valve, as this could damage
the electronic components.
Always have the wheels interchanged/
changed at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Winter operation
Please bear the following in mind
Have your vehicle winterproofed at a qualified
specialist workshop, e.g. at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre, at the onset of winter.
Observe the notes in the "Changing a wheel"
section (Y page 275). Winter tyres
Use winter tyres at temperatures below
+7 ˚C and in wintry road conditions. Only
winter tyres displaying the 0001snowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking pro-
vide optimum grip in wintry road conditions.
Only these tyres will allow the ABS and
ESP ®
driving safety systems to function opti-
mally in winter, as these tyres have been
designed specifically for driving on snow.
Use winter tyres of the same make and tread
on all wheels to maintain safe handling char-
acteristics. G
Risk of accident
Winter tyres with a tread depth of less than
4mmm ust be replace dimmediately. They are
no longer suitable for winter use and can no
longer provide sufficient grip. This could
cause you to lose control of yourv ehicle and
cause an accident.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the winter tyres you have
fitted. If you fit winter tyres which have a
lower maximum permissible speed than that
of the vehicle, affix an appropriate warning
sign in the driver's field of vision. This can be Winter operation

Turn the jack back to the out-of-use posi-
tion and stow it in the boot again with the
rest of the wheel-changing tools. Emergency spare wheel*
G
Risk of accident
The wheel dimensions and tyre size of the
emergency spare wheel differ from those of
the standard wheels.
Your vehicle's handling characteristics will
change when driving with a collapsible emer-
gency spare wheel. Adapt your style of driving
accordingly.
The collapsible emergency spare wheel may
only be used for a short time. Do not exceed
the maximum speed of 80 km/h and do not
deactivate ESP ®
. G
Risk of accident
Have the collapsible emergenc yspare wheel
replaced as soon as possible at a qualified
specialist workshop which has the necessary
specialist knowledge and tools to carry out
the work required. Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you use a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for this purpose. In particular, work
relevant to safety or on safety-related sys-
tems must be carried out at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Never drive the vehicle with more than one
collapsible emergency spare wheel fitted.
Inflating the collapsible emergency
spare wheel 25 G
Risk of accident
Pump up the collapsible emergency spare
wheel before lowering the vehicle. You could
otherwise damage the wheel rim.
