2015 MERCEDES-BENZ B-CLASS SPORTS Owners Manual

Observe the notes on recommended tire
pressures under various operating conditions( Y page 305).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-
nance recommendations of the tire manufac-
turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always
equip the vehicle with:
R tires of the same size on a given axle (left/right)
R the same type of tires at a given time (sum-
mer tires, winter tires, MOExtended tires)
Exception: it is permissible to install a dif-
ferent type or make in the event of a flat
tire. Observe the "MOExtended tires (tires
with run-flat characteristics" section( Y page 285).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires 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 mount tires that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be obtained from a qualified specialist work-shop.
iOn the following pages, you can find infor-
mation on approved wheel rims and tire
sizes for equipping your vehicle with winter
tires. Winter tires are not available at the
factory as standard equipment or optionalextras.
If you would like to equip your vehicle with approved winter tires, you may also, in cer-
tain circumstances, require rims of the
appropriate size. The size of the approved
winter tires may deviate from that of the
standard tires. This is dependent on the
model and the equipment installed at thefactory.
The tires and wheel rims, as well as further information, can be obtained at a qualified
specialist workshop.
iNot all wheel and tire combinations are
available at the factory for all countries.

Emergency spare wheel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of
the spare wheel or emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mounting an emergency spare wheel may
severely impair the driving characteristics.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R adapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
R never mount more than one spare wheel or
emergency spare wheel that differs in size.
R only use a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size briefly.
R do not switch ESP ®
off.
R have a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size replaced at the
nearest qualified specialist workshop.
Observe that the wheel and tire dimensions
as well as the tire type must be correct.
When using an emergency spare wheel or
spare wheel of a different size, you must not
exceed the maximum speed of 50 mph
(80 km/ h).
Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-
gency spare wheels.
General notes
Apart from some country-specific variants,
the vehicles are not equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel. Emergency spare wheels
are specific to the vehicle. For more informa- tion on which emergency spare wheels are
approved for your vehicle, consult a qualified specialist workshop.

You should regularly check the pressure of
the emergency spare wheel, particularly prior
to long trips, and correct the pressure as nec- essary ( Ypage 305). The value on the wheel is
valid. In addition, the emergency spare wheel
tire pressure can be found under "Technical
data" ( Ypage 331).
An emergency spare wheel may also be
mounted against the direction of rotation.
Observe the time restriction on use as well as
the speed limitation specified on the emer-
gency spare wheel.
Replace the tires after six years at the latest, regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
When you are driving with the emergency
spare wheel mounted, the tire pressure loss
warning system cannot function reliably. Only
restart the tire pressure loss warning system when the defective wheel has been replaced
with a new wheel.
