wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Ben
zspecifically for your vehi-
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.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not
fit used tyres if you have no information
about their previous usage. G
Risk of accident
Tyres, wheels or accessories which have not
been approved by Mercedes-Benz for your
vehicle or are not used as they should be, can
impair driving safety. As a result, you could
cause an accident .Before purchasing and
using them, enquire about their suitability,
legal stipulations and factory recommenda-
tions at a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Modification work on the brake system and
wheels is not permitted, nor is the use of
spacer plates or brake dust shields. This inva-
lidates the General Operating Permit for the
vehicle. Notes on selecting, fitting and replacing
tyres R
Only fit tyres and wheels of the same type
and make.
R Only fit tyres of the correct size onto the
wheels.
R After fitting new tyres, run them in at mod-
erate speeds for the first 100 km as they
only reach their full performance after this
distance.
R Fit new tyres on the front wheels first if
tyres of the same size are required on the
fron tand rea rwheels.
R Replace the tyres after six years at the lat-
est, regardless of wear. This also applies to
the collapsible emergency spare wheel* 17
.
R Do not drive with tyres which have too little
tread depth, as this significantly reduces
the traction on wet roads (aquaplaning).
! Store tyres that are not being used in a
cool, dry and preferably dark place. Protect
the tyres against oil, grease, petrol and die-
sel.
Notes on regularly inspecting wheels
and tyres R
Regularly check the wheels and tyres of
your vehicle for damage (e.g. cuts, punctu-
res, tears, bulges on tyres and deformation,
cracks or severe corrosion on wheels), at
least every 14 days, as well as after driving
off-road or on rough roads. Damaged
wheels can cause a loss of tyre pressure.
R Regularly check the tyre tread depth and
the condition of the tread across the whole
width of the tyre (Y page 272). If neces-
sary, turn the front wheels to full lock in
order to inspect the inner side of the tyre
surface.
R All wheels must have a valve cap to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not
fit anything onto the valve (such as tyre
pressure monitoring systems) other than
17 Only for certain countries. Tyres and wheels

the standard valve cap or other valve caps
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehi-
cle.
R You should regularly check the pressure of
all your tyres, particularly prior to long trips,
and correct the pressure as necessary
(Y page 272).
Notes on driving R
While driving, pay attentio nto vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteris-
tics, e.g. pulling to one side. This may indi-
cate that the wheels or tyres are damaged.
If you suspect that a tyre is defective,
reduce your speed immediately. Stop the
vehicle as soon as possible to check the
wheels and tyres for damage. Hidden tyre
damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no
signs of damage, have the wheels and tyres
examined at a specialist workshop, for
example at a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
R When parking your vehicle, make sure that
the tyres do not get deformed by the kerb
or other obstacles. If it is necessary to drive
over kerbs, speed humps or similar eleva-
tions, try to do so slowly and at an obtuse
angle. Otherwise, the tyres, particularly the
sidewalls, can get damaged. Direction of rotation
Tyres with a specified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk
of aquaplaning. You will only gain these ben-
efits if the correct direction of rotation is
observed.
An arrow on the tyre wall indicates its correct
direction of rotation. Tyre tread
G
Risk of accident
Bear in mind that:
R tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads
when the tread depth is less than 3mm.
Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
R winter tyres should be replaced when the
tread depth is 4mmorless as they will no
longer provide adequate grip.
R the tread on a tyre may not wear evenly.
Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the steering wheel so that you can see
the tyre tread more easily.
You could otherwise lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an acciden tdue to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road. Tyre pressures
i You will find a table of tyre pressures for
various operating conditions on the inside
of your vehicle's fuel fille rflap.
The value specified in the technical data is
valid for the collapsible emergency spare
wheel* 18
. G
Risk of accident
Tyre pressure that is either too high or too low
has a negative effect on vehicle safety, which
could lead you to cause an accident .There-
fore, you should regularly check the pressure
of all the tyres, particularly prior to long trips,
and correct the pressure as necessary.
Use a suitable tyre pressure gauge to do this.
The outer appearance of a tyre does not per-
mit any reliable conclusion about the tyre
pressure. You can also check the tyre pres-
sure using the on-board computer.

obtained at a qualified specialist workshop,
e.g. from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
using permanent SPEED-
TRONIC 19
(Y page 245) so that it does not
exceed the maximum permissible speed for
the winter tyres.
Once you have fitted the winter tyres:
X Check the tyre pressures (Y page 272).
X Restart the tyre pressure monitor
(Y page 273).
i Speeds of up to 240 km/h with winter
tyre variant 1: despite what is stated on the
tyre pressure information label (fuel filler
flap), for speeds up to 240 km/ha nd winter
tyre variant 1 (Y page 354), the tyre pres-
sures can be reduced:
R front −40 kPa (−0.4 bar)
R rear −60 kPa (−0.6 bar)
This improves the ride comfort of your vehi-
cle; however, the fuel consumption may
increase slightly. G
Ris
kofa ccident
If you fit the spare wheel* when driving with
winter tyres, bear in mind that driving stability
will be impaired owing to unstable cornering
characteristics caused by the differen ttyres.
You should therefore adapt your driving style
and drive carefully.
Have the spare wheel* replaced at the near-
est qualified specialist workshop which has
the necessary specialist knowledge and tools
to carry out the wor krequired. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre for this purpose. In par-
ticular, work relevant to safety or on safety-
related systems must be carried out at a quali-
fied specialist workshop. Snow chains
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains which
have been specially approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are of a corresponding
standard of quality.
If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:
R snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel/
tyre combinations.
R snow chains must not be fitted to emer-
gency spare wheels, e.g. Minispare.
R fit snow chains only in pairs and only to the
rear wheels. Observe the manufacturer's
installation instructions.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 km/h.
i You may wish to deactivate ESP ®
when
pulling away with snow chains fitted
(Y page 47). This way you can allow the
wheels to spin in a controlled manner, ach-
ieving an increased driving force (cutting
action). Winter driving
G
Risk of accident
Do not shift down for additional engine brak-
ing on a slippery road surface. This could
cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid.
You should drive particularly carefully on slip-
pery road surfaces. Avoid sudden accelera-
tion, steering and braking manoeuvres.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be
stopped when moving at low speed:
X Engage neutral.
X Try to bring the vehicle under control using
corrective steering.

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 ®
