WARNING
Tyres, wheels or accessories whic hhaven ot
been approved by Mercedes-Ben zfor your
vehicle or are not used as they should be, can
impair driving safety. As aresult, you could
cause an accident .Before purchasing and
using them, enquire about their suitability,
legal stipulations and factory recommenda-
tion sataM ercedes-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 Operatin gPermit for the
vehicle.
i Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. Operation
Notes on driving
R While driving, pay attention to 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 atyre is defective,
reduce your speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible to chec
kthe
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 aqualified specialist work-
shop, e.g. aMercedes-Ben zService
Centre.
R When parkin gyour 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. Notes on regularly inspecting wheels
and tyres
R Regularly chec kthe wheels and tyres of
your vehicle for damage (e.g. cuts, punctu-
res, tears, bulges on tyres and deformation,
cracksors evere corrosion on wheels), at
least every 14 days, as well as after driving
off-road or on rough roads. Damaged
wheels can cause aloss 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 319). 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 avalve cap to protect
the valve against dirt and moisture. Do not
fit anything onto the valve (such as tyre
pressure monitorings ystems) other than
the standard valve cap or other valve caps
approved by Mercedes-Ben zfor your vehi-
cle.
R Regularly check the pressure of all the tyres
including the emergenc yspare wheel or the
spare wheel, particularly prior to long trips,
and correc tthe pressure as necessary
(Y page 321). 318

tai
nc haracteristics, 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
damag eresulting from the us eoftyres,
wheel soraccessorie sothe rthan those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about tyres, wheels
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Ben zService
Centre.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As aresult,
Mercedes-Ben zcannot guarante evehicle
safety if retreade dtyres are fitted. Do not
fit used tyres if you have no information
about their previous usage.
! Large wheels :the lower the section width
for acertain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as aresult of driving over obstacles
increases.
i You will find atable of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 321).
i Notes on the vehicle equipment –always
fit the vehicle:
R with tyre softhe same size on agiven axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyre satagiven
tim e(summer tyres, winter tyres,
MOExtende dtyres) i
Vehicles with MOExtende dtyre sare not
equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommende dthat you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with aTIREFIT kit
if you fit tyre sthat do not feature run-flat
properties ,e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFIT kit
can be obtained fro maMercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

Mercedes-Ben ztests genuine parts and con-
version parts and accessories which have
been specifically approved for your vehicle for
their reliability, safety and suitability. Despite
ongoin gmarket research ,Mercedes-Benz is
unable to evaluate other parts. Mercedes-
Benzt herefore accepts no responsibility for
the use of such parts in Mercedes-Ben zvehi-
cles, even if they have been independently or
officially approved.
In Germany and some other countries, certain
parts are only officially approved for installa-
tion or modification if they comply with legal
requirements. All genuine Mercedes-Benz
parts meet this requirement .The use of non- approved parts may invalidate the vehicle's
general operating permit. This is the case if:
R
they cause achange of the vehicle type
from that for which the vehicle's general
operating permit was granted.
R other road users could be endangered.
R the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected. G
WARNING
Driving safety may be impaired if non-
approved parts, tyres and wheels or safety-
relevant accessories are used.
This could lead to malfunctions in safety-rel-
evant systems, e.g. the brake system. This
could cause you to lose control of your vehicle
and cause an accident.
For this reason, Mercedes-Ben zrecommends
that you use genuine Mercedes-Benz parts or
parts of equal quality. Only use tyres, wheels
and accessories that have been specifically
approved for your vehicle.
! Airbags and seat belt tensioners, as well
as control units and sensor sfor these
restraint systems may be installed in the
following areas of your vehicle:
R doors
R door pillars
R door sills
R seats
R dashboard
R instrument cluster
R centre console
Do not install accessories such as audio
systems in these areas. Do not carry out
repairs or welding. You could impair the
operatin gefficiency of the restraint sys-
tems.
Have aftermarket accessories installed at
aq ualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centr efor this pur-
pose. 330

Engine oil selection is based on the respective

are to be used. The low-temperature proper-

impaired during operation due to, for exam-

WARNING
The brak efluid constantly absorb smoisture
fro mt he air; this lowers its boiling point.
If the boiling point of the brake fluid is too low,
vapour pockets may form in the brake system
when the brakes are applied hard (e.g. when
driving downhill). This would impair braking
efficiency.
You should have the brake fluid renewed at
regular intervals. The brake fluid change inter-
vals can be found in the Service Booklet.
Only use brake fluid approved by Mercedes-
Benz.I nformation about approved brake flu-
ids can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
