ers) can cause damage not visible from the
outside to tyres or chassis components. Com-
ponentsd amaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail. There is arisk of an accident.
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles to clean the vehicle. Have dam-
aged tyres or chassis components replaced
immediately. Fitting

Preparing the vehicle X
Stop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and
leve lground.
X Apply the parking brake.
X Bring the front wheels into the straight-
ahead position.
X Shift the transmission to position P.
X Vehicles with AIRMATIC :make sure that
"normal" leve lisselecte d(Ypage 181).
X Switch off th eengine.
X Vehicles without KEYLESS-GO: remove
th ek eyfrom th eignition lock.
X Vehicles with KEYLESS-GO: open the
driver' sdoor.
The on-board electronics have status 0,

If included in th evehicle equipment,
remove th etyre-chang etoolkit from the
vehicle.
X Secure th evehicle to preven titfrom rolling
away.
i Apart from certain country-specific varia-
tions, the vehicles are not equipped with a
tyre-change tool kit. Some tools for chang-
ing awhee lare specific to the vehicle. For
more information on which tools are
required to perform awhee lchange on your
vehicle, consult aqualified specialist work-

X Turn the crank of the jack anti-clockwise
until the vehicle is once again standing
firmly on the ground.

X Tighten the wheel bolts evenly in across-
wise pattern in the sequence indicated
(: toA). The tightening torque must be
130 Nm.
X Turn the jack back to its initial position.
X Stow the jack and the rest of the vehicle
tools in the boot again.
X Check the air pressure of the newly fitted
wheel and adjust accordingly.
Observe the recommended tyre pressure
(Y page 331).

tem: all fitted wheels must be equipped
with functioning sensors. Wheel and tyrec
ombinations General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle. These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-BenzO riginal
R MOE =Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-BenzO riginal (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be usedonw heels 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
damag eresulting from the us eoftyres,
wheel soraccessorie sothe rthan those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.
! 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. Wheel and tyrec

Overview of abbreviations used in the follow-
ing tyre tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle
You will find atable with recommended tyre
pressures for various operating conditions on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. For
further information on tyre pressure, see
(Y page 331). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold.
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 time
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres)
Vehicles with MOExtende dtyre sare not
equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefore recommende dthat you addition-
ally equip your vehicle with aTIREFIT kit if you
fit tyre sthat do not feature run-flat charac-
teristics, e.g. winter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can
be obtained fro maqualified specialist work-
shop.
i Not all wheel/tyre combinations can be
mounted at the factory in all countries. 342
