General notes
! For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tires and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle. These tires have been specially adapted for
use with the control systems, such as ABS
or ESP ®
, and are marked as follows:
R MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
R MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tires)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, 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 a load, tire dimen-
sion variations could cause the tires to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components. This could result in dam- age to the tires or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tires,
wheels or accessories other than those tes-
ted and approved.
Information on tires, wheels and approved
combinations can be obtained from any
qualified specialist workshop.
Overview of abbreviations used in the follow- ing tire tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle
The recommended pressures for various
operating conditions can be found:
R on the Tire and Loading Information placard
with the recommended tire pressures on
the B-pillar on the driver's side
R in the tire pressure table on the inside of the
fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire
pressures under various operating conditions (Y page 348). 372

tem/the tire pressure monitor when the
damaged wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor: after
mounting an emergency spare wheel, the
system may still display the tire pressure of the removed wheel for a few minutes. The
value displayed for the mounted emer-
gency spare wheel is not the same as the
current tire pressure of the emergency
spare wheel. "Minispare" emergency spare wheel/

Removing the "Minispare" emergency
spare wheel The emergency spare wheel can be found in
the stowage well under the trunk floor.
X Lift the trunk floor upwards (Y page 292).
X Turn stowage well ;counter-clockwise
and remove it together with vehicle tool kit

wheel
! Only place the collapsible spare wheel in
the vehicle when it is dry. Otherwise, mois-
ture may get into the vehicle.
Take the following steps to stow a used col-
lapsible spare wheel. It will not otherwise fit
into the spare wheel well. Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you have this work per-
formed at a qualified specialist workshop, e.g. at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
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 tires can take a few

! Inflate the collapsible spare wheel using
the tire inflation compressor before lower-
ing the vehicle. The wheel rim could other-
wise be damaged.
! Do not operate the tire inflation compres-
sor for longer than eight minutes at a time
without a break. It may otherwise overheat.
The tire inflation compressor can be oper-
ated again once it has cooled down. X
Mount the collapsible spare wheel as
described (Y page 368).
The collapsible spare wheel must be moun-
ted before it is inflated.
X Pull connector ?and the hose out of the

X Remove the cap from the valve on the col-
lapsible spare wheel.
X Screw union nut :of the hose onto the

compressor to I.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
on. The tire is inflated. The tire pressure is
shown on pressure gauge =.
X Inflate the tire to the specified tire pres-

yellow label of the emergency spare wheel.
X When the specified tire pressure has been
reached, press on/off switch Aon the
electric air pump to 0.
The tire inflation compressor is switched
off.
X Turn the SmartKey to position 0in the igni-
tion lock.
X If the tire pressure is higher than the speci-
fied pressure, press pressure release valve
button ;until the correct tire pressure has
been reached.
