For an overview of the menus, see
(Y page 197).
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 305).
X Make sure that the key is in position 2in
the ignition lock.
X Use the =or; button on the steer-
ing wheel to select the Service menu.
X Use the 9or: button to select
Tyre pressure .
X Press the abutton.
The current tyre pressure of the individual
wheels is displayed in the multifunction dis-
play or the Tyre pressures will be displayed after a few minutes of
driving message appears.
X Press the :button.
The Use current pressure values as
new reference values message appears
in the multifunction display.
If you wish to confirm the restart:
X Press the abutton.
The Tyre press. monitor restarted message appears in the multifunction dis-
play.
After you have driven for a few minutes, the
system checks whether the current tyre
pressures are within the specified range.
The new tyre pressures are then accepted
as reference values and monitored.
If you wish to cancel the restart:
X Press the %button.
The tyre pressure values stored at the last
restart will continue to be monitored. Changing

The "Breakdown assistance" section
(Y page 281) contains information and notes
on how to deal with a fla ttyre. It also provides
instructions on changing a wheel or fitting the
spare wheel or emergency spare wheel. 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
correc tsize which have been approved for
Mercedes-Ben zvehicles.
The wear patterns on the fron tand rea rtyres
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 shoulders and the
rear tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have th esame size fron tand
rea rwheels, 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, Changing

if necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or the tyre pressure monitor.
! If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitor, there are electronic
components in the wheels.
Fitting tools must not be used in the area
of the valve. Otherwise, the electronic com-
ponents could be damaged.
Always have the tyres replaced at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre. 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 sidewall of the tyre indicates
its correct direction of rotation.
You may fit an emergency spare wheel/spare
wheel against the direction of rotation.
Observe the time restriction on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the emer-
gency spare wheel/spare wheel. Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Cleaning the wheels
G
Risk of accident
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean your
vehicle, in particular the tyres. You could oth-
erwise damage the tyres and cause an acci-
dent. Wheel and tyre combinations
Please bear the following in mind
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Ben zrec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benzs pecifically for your vehi-
cle.
These tyres have been specially adapted
for use with the contro lsystems, such as
ABS or ESP ®
, and are marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-BenzO riginal
R MOE =Mercedes-BenzO riginal Extended
(tyres with run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-BenzO riginal (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with aload, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components.T his could result in dam-
age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Ben zaccepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories othe rthan those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about tyres, wheels
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
! 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-Ben zcannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not
fit used tyres if you have no information
about their previous usage. 310

You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 305).
i Notes on the vehicle equipmen t–always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at a given
time (summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtended tyres)
i Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can obtain
aT IREFIT kit from aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre, for example.

lowing tyre tables:
