Vehicles without a spare wheel are not
equipped with the tools needed to change
a wheel when they leave the factory, e.g. a
jack or wheel wrench. Country-specific
deviations are possible. Some tools for
changing a wheel are specific to the vehi-
cle. Tools approved for yourv ehicle are
available at a qualified specialist workshop.

For further information on changing a wheel
and fitting the spare wheel, see
(Y page 344).
Stowing aused collapsible emergency
spare wheel Take the following steps to stow a used col-
lapsible emergency spare wheel. Otherwise,
the collapsible emergency spare wheel will
not fit in the spare wheel well. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you have this work carried
out at a qualified specialist workshop.
! Only place the collapsible emergency
spare wheel in the vehicle when it is dry.
Otherwise, moisture may get into the vehi-
cle.
X Unscrew the valve cap from the valve.
X Use the back of the valve cap to unscrew
the valve insert from the valve and release
the air.
i Fully deflating the tyre can take a few
minutes.
X Screw the valve insert back into the valve. X
Screw the valve cap back on.
X Remove the protective film from the vehicle
tool kit and put it over the collapsible emer-
gency spare wheel.
X Stow the collapsible emergency spare
wheel in the emergency spare wheel well
under the boot. Flat tyre
Preparing the vehicle
Your vehicle may be equipped with:
R a TIREFIT kit
R an emergency spare wheel
R MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat char-
acteristics) (Y page 349)
i Vehicle preparation is not necessary on
vehicles with 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
characteristics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT
kit can be obtained from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
X Vehicles with AIRMATIC: make sure that
"normal" level is selected (Y page 197).
X Stop the vehicle as far away as possible
from traffic on solid, non-slippery and level
ground.
X Switch on the hazard warning lamps.
X Firmly depress the parking brake.
X Bring the fron twheels into the straight-
ahead position.
X Vehicles with manual transmission:
engage first or reverse gear.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission:
move the selector lever/DIRECT SELECT
lever to P.

WARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts
and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque .There is a risk of accident.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
X Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in a cross-
wise pattern in the sequence indicated
(: toA ). The specified tightening torque
is 130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position and
store it together with the rest of the tyre-
change tool kit in the boot/luggage com-
partment.
X AMG vehicles and vehicles with AMG
equipment: insert the cover into the outer
sill.
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel:
X Transport the faulty wheel in the boot/lug-
gage compartment.
or
X Depending on the size of the wheel, you
may also be able to secure the faulty wheel
in the spare wheel well. In this case, you
will have to remove the stowage well casing
from the spare wheel well and stow it
securely in the boot/luggage compart-
ment.
For further information on stowing the col-
lapsible emergency spare wheel, see
(Y page 340). i
When you are driving with the collapsible
emergency spare wheel fitted, the tyre
pressure loss warning system or the tyre
pressure monitor cannot function reliably.
Only restart the tyre pressure loss warning
system/tyre pressure monitor when the
defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure control system:
all fitted wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors. The defective wheel
should no longer be in the vehicle. MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics)
With MOExtended tyres (tyres with run-flat
characteristics), you can continue to drive
your vehicle even if there is a total loss of
pressure in one or more tyres.
MOExtended tyres may only be used in con-
junction with an activated tyre pressure loss
warning system or with an activated tyre pres-
sure monitor.
The driving distance possible is 80 km when
the vehicle is partially laden, and 30 km when
the vehicle is fully laden.
In addition to the vehicle load, the driving dis-
tance possible depends upon:
R speed
R road condition
R outside temperature
The driving distance possible in run-flat mode
may be reduced by extreme driving condi-
tions/manoeuvres, or it can be increased
through a moderate style of driving.
The maximum permissible distance which
can be driven in run-flat mode is counted from
the moment the tyre pressure loss warning
appears in the multifunction display.
You must not exceed a maximum speed of
80 km/h. Flat tyre

wheels and tyres for damage. Hidde

damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no
signs of damage, have the tyres and wheels
checked at a qualified specialist workshop.
R Whe nparking your vehicle ,make sure that
the tyres do no tget 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 G
WARNING
Damaged tyres can cause tyre inflation pres-
sure loss. As a result, you could lose control
of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.
Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage
and replace any damaged tyres immediately.
R Regularly chec kthe 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 14days, 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 363). 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
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 emergency spare wheel or the
spare wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and correc
tthe pressure as necessary
(Y page 365). Tyre tread
G
WARNING
Insufficient tyre tread will reduce tyre trac-
tion. The tyre is no longer able to dissipate
water. This means that on wet road surfaces,
the risk of aquaplaning increases, in particular
where speed is not adapted to suit the driving
conditions. There is a risk of accident.
If the tyre pressure is too high or too low, tyres
may exhibit different levels of wear at differ-
ent locations on the tyre tread. Thus, you
should regularly check the tread depth and
the condition of the tread across the entire
width of all tyres.
Minimum tyre tread depth for:
R summer tyres: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm
For safety reasons, replace the tyres before
the legally prescribed limit for the minimum
tyre tread depth is reached.. Notes on selecting, fitting and replac-
ing 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 fittingn ew tyres, run them in at mod-
erate speeds for the first 100 km, as they
only reach their full performance after this
distance.
R Do not drive with tyres which have too little
tread depth, as this significantly reduces
the traction on wet roads (aquaplaning).
R Replace the tyres after six years at the lat-
est, regardless of wear. This also applies to
the emergency spare wheel/spare wheel. Operation
