WARNING
If wheels and tires of the wrong size are used,
the wheel brakes or suspension components
may be damaged. There is arisk of an
accident.
Always replac ewheels and tires with those
that fulfill the specifications of the original
part.
When replacing wheels, make sure to use the

WARNING
Af lat tir eseverely impairs the driving,
steerin gand braking characteristics of the
vehicle. There is arisk of accident.
Tires without run-flat characteristics:
R do not drive with aflat tire.
R immediately replac ethe flat tir ewith your
emergenc yspare wheel or spare wheel, or
consult aqualified specialist workshop. Tires with run-flat characteristics:
R
pay attention to the information and
warnin gnotices on MOExtended tires (tires
with run-flat characteristics).
Accessories that are not approved for your
vehicle by Mercedes-Ben zorthat are not
being used correctly can impair the operating
safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approved
accessories, visit aqualified specialist
workshop and inquire about:
R suitability
R legal stipulations
R factory recommendations
Information on the dimensions and types of
wheels and tires for your vehicle can be found
in the "Wheel/tire combinations" section
(Y page 362).
Information on air pressure for the tires on
your vehicle can be found:
R on the vehicle's Tire and Loading
Information placard on the B-pillar
(Y page 345)
R on the tire pressure label on the fuel filler
flap (Y page 165)

Information on driving
If the vehicle is heavily loaded, check the tire
pressures and correct them if necessary.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that
the wheels or tires are damaged. If you
suspect that atire is defective, reduce your
speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon
as possible to check the wheels and tires for
damage. Hidden tire damage could also be
causing the unusual handling characteristics.
If you find no signs of damage, have the tires 334
OperationWheels and tires

Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions
If at ire size precedes atire pressure, the tire
pressure informatio nfollowing is only valid
for that tire size. The load conditions "partially
laden" and "fully laden" are defined in the
table for different numbers of occupant sand
amounts of luggage. The actual number of
seats may differ. Some tire pressure tables show only the rim
diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g.
R18.T he rim diameter is part of the tire size
and can be found on the tire sidewall
(Y page 351).
If the tire pressures have been set to the
lower values for lighter loads and/or lower
road speeds, the pressures should be reset
to the higher values:
R if you want to drive with an increased load
and/or
R if you want to drive at higher road speeds.
i The tire pressures for increased loads
and/or higher road speeds, shown in the
tire pressure table, may have anegative
effect on driving comfort. If the tire pressure is not set correctly, this
can lead to an excessive build up of heat and
as
udden loss of pressure.
For more information, contact aqualified
specialist workshop. Important notes on tire pressure
G
WARNING
If the tire pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged. Tire
pressure that is too low may result in atire
blow-out. There is arisk of an accident.
R Check the tire for foreign objects.
R Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage,
contact aqualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tire
pressure monitors keep the tire valve open.
This can also result in tire pressure loss. There
is ar isk of an accident.
Only screw the standard valve cap or other
valve caps approved by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tire valve.
Use asuitable pressure gauge to check the
tire pressure. The outer appearance of atire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
the tire pressure. On vehicles equipped with
the electronic tire pressure monitoring
system, the tire pressure can be checked
using the on-board computer.
The tire temperature and pressure increase
when the vehicle is in motion .This is
dependent on the driving speed and the load.
Therefore, you should only correct tire
pressures when the tires are cold. Check

G
WARNING
Interchangin gthe front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tires have different dimensions.
The wheel brakes or suspension components
may also be damaged. There is arisk of
accident.
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels
and tires are of the same dimensions.
! On vehicles equipped with atire pressure
monitor, electronic components are
located in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be used
near the valve. This could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tires changed at aqualified
specialist workshop. Always observe the instructions and safety
notes in the "Mounting
awheel" section
(Y page 358).
The wear patternsont he front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before aclear wear pattern
has formed on the tires. Front tires typically
wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires
in the center.
If your vehicle's tire configuration allows, you
can rotate the wheels according to the
intervals in the tire manufacturer's warranty
book in your vehicle documents. If this is not
available, the tires should then be replaced
every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to
10,000 km), or earlier if the tire wear requires
this. Do not change the direction of wheel
rotation.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and
the brake disc thoroughly every time awheel
is interchanged. Check the tire pressure and,
if necessary, restart the tire pressure loss
warning system or the tire pressure monitor. Direction of rotation
Tires with aspecified direction of rotation
have additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk
of hydroplaning. You will only gain these
benefits if the correct direction of rotation is
maintained.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates
its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Storew heels that are not being used in acool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the
tires from oil, grease, gasoline and diesel. Cleaningt

You should regularl ycheck the pressure of
the emergency spare wheel, particularl yprior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as
necessary (Y page338). The applicable value
is found on the whee lorunder "Technical
data "(Ypage3 70).
An emergency spare whee lmay alsobe
mounted against the direction of rotation.
Observe the time restriction on use as wellas
