You can find information on what to do in the
event of aflat tyre in the "Breakdown assis-
tance" section (Y page 337). Information on
driving with MOExtended tyres in the event of a flat tyre can be found under "Breakdown assis-
tance" (Y page 337).
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel: in
the event of aflat tyre, the emergency spare
wheel is fitted according to the description
under "Fitting awheel" (Y page 362). Interchanging the wheels
G
WARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tyres have different dimensions. The wheel brakes or suspension components may also be damaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions. !
On vehicles fitted with
atyre pressure mon-
itor, electronic componentsa re located in the
wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve, as this could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging the front and rear wheels of dif-
fering dimensions can render the general oper-
ating permit invalid.
Observe the instructionsa nd safety notes in the
"Fitting awheel" section (Y page 362).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres typi-
cally wear more on the shoulders and the rear
tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 to 10,000 km depending on the
degree of tyre wear. Ensure the direction of
rotation is maintained.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is
interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and, if
necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system (Y page 358) or the tyre pressure
monitor (Y page 360). Direction of rotation
Tyres with aspecified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk of aqua-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tyres are fitted corresponding to the direc-
tion of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Store wheels in acool, dry and preferably dark
place if they are not being used. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Changing

ecombination
You can ask for information regarding permitted wheel-tyre combinations at aMercedes-Benz
Servic eCentre.
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle. These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
and are
marked as follows:
R MO =Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE =Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 =Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz.C ertain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with aload, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components.T his
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tyres, wheels or accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any qualified specialist workshop.
! Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz,s ince previ-
ous damage cannot alway sbedetected on
retreaded tyres. As aresult, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tyres 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
comfor tisonp oor road surfaces. Roll comfort
and suspension comfor tare reduced and the
risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
The recommended tyre pressures can be found
in the tyre pressure table on the fuel filler flap.
For further information on tyre pressure, see
(Y page 356). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold. 366

tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit adifferent
type or make in the event of aflat tyre.
Observe the "MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics)" section
(Y page 337).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
yourv ehicle with aTIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that
do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. ATIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
