If
at yre size precedes atyre pressure, the
following tyre pressure information is only
validf or that tyre size.
Use asuitable pressure gauge to check the
tyre pressure. The outer appearance of atyre
does not permit any reliable conclusion about the tyre pressure. On vehicle sfitted with the
electronic tyre pressure monitor, the tyre
pressure can be checked using the on-board
computer.
If possible, only correct tyre pressures when
the tyres are cold.
The tyres are cold:
R if the vehicle has been parked with the tyres
out of direct sunlight for at least three
hours and
R if the vehicle has not been driven further
than 1.6 km
Depending on the ambient temperature ,the
vehicle speed and the loadont he tyres, the
tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure
changes by approximately 10 kPa (0. 1bar/
1.5 psi )per 10 †. Take this into account
when checking the pressure of warm tyres.
Only correct the tyre pressure if it is too low
for the current operating conditions.
Driving with tyre pressure that is too high or
too low can:
R shorten the service life of the tyres
R cause increased tyre damage
R have anegative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus driving safety (e.g. aqua-
planing) The tyre pressure values given for low loads
are minimum values which offer you good ride
comfort characteristics.
However, you can also use the values given
for higherl oads. These are permissible and
willn ot adversely affect the running of the
vehicle.
Speeds up to 210 km/h: despite the values
stated on the tyre pressure information label (fuel filler flap), for speedsupt o210 km/h
and with R16 tyres, the values stated can be
reduced as follows, withou tareduction in
safety:
R Saloon: Ò30 kPa (Ò0.3 bar/Ò4p si)
R Estate: Ò20 kPa (Ò0.2 bar/Ò3p si)
This does not apply to vehicle stowing a
trailer.
This improves the ride comfort of yourv ehi-
cle; however, fuel consumption may increase slightly. Tyre pressure lossw
arning system
General notes Whilet
he vehicle is in motion, the tyre pres-
sure loss warning system monitors the set
tyre pressure using the rotational speed of
the wheels. This enables the system to detect significant pressure loss in atyre. If the speed

! 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-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
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz.C er-
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. This could result in dam- age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories other than 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,s ince
previous damage cannot alway sbedetec-
ted 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 com-
fort and suspension comfor tare reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as aresult of driving over obstacles
increases. Wheel and tyrec
