WARNING
A flat tyre severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.
There is a risk of accident.
Tyres without run-flat characteristics:
R do not drive with a flat tyre.
R immediately replace the flat tyre with your
emergency spare wheel or spare wheel, or
consult a qualified specialist workshop. Tyres with run-flat characteristics:
R pay attention to the information and warn-
ing notices on MOExtended tyres (tyres
with run-flat characteristics).
Accessories that are not approved for your
vehicle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being
used correctly can impair the operating
safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approved
accessories, visit a qualified specialist work-
shop and enquire about:
R suitability
R legal stipulations
R factory recommendations
Information on the sizes and types of wheels
and tyres for your vehicle can be found under
"Wheel/tyre combinations" (Y page 391).
Information on tyre pressure can be found:
R on the tyre pressure label on the fuel filler
flap (Y page 179)
R under "Tyre pressure" (Y page 380)
Modification work on the brake system and
wheels is not permitted. The use of wheel
spacers or brake dust shields is not permit-
ted. This invalidates the general operating
permit for the vehicle.
i Further information on wheels and tyres
can be obtained at any qualified specialist
workshop. Operation
Information on driving
Check the tyre pressures when the vehicle is
heavily laden and adjust prior to a trip.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations,
noises and unusual handling characteristics,
e.g. pulling to one side. This may indicate that the wheels or tyres are damaged. If you sus-
pect that a tyre is defective, reduce your
speed immediately. Stop the vehicle as soon
as possible to check the wheels and tyres fordamage. Hidden tyre damage could also be 376

WARNING
Tyres with insufficient or excessive tyre pres- sure harbour the following hazards:
R the tyres may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R the tyres may wear excessively or unevenly
which can severely impair tyre traction.
R the handling as well as steering and braking
characteristics may be severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Observe the recommended tyre pressures
and check the tyre pressure of all the tyres
including the spare wheel:
R every day before starting a journey
R when the load changes
R prior to long journey
R for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
road driving
If necessary, correct the tyre pressure. G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tyre
valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a risk of accident.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tyre valve. G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in a tyre
blow-out. There is a risk of accident.
R Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking. If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
H
Environmental note
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
You will find a table of tyre pressures for var- ious operating conditions on the tyre pres-
sure label on the inside of your vehicle's fuel
filler flap (Y page 179).
The table of tyre pressures may also state tyre
pressures for different load conditions. These are defined in the table as different numbers
of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may vary; for more
information, please refer to the vehicle's reg-istration documents.
If tyre sizes are not specified, the tyre pres-
sures stated on the tyre pressure information
label apply for all tyres approved for this vehi-
cle. If a tyre size precedes a tyre pressure, the
following tyre pressure information is only
valid for that tyre size.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the
tyre pressure. The outer appearance of a tyre
does not permit any reliable conclusion aboutthe tyre pressure. On vehicles fitted 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. 380
Tyre pressureWheels and tyres

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 load on the tyres, the
tyre temperature and thus the tyre pressure
changes by approximately 10 kPa (0.1 bar/
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 a negative effect on handling charac-
teristics and thus driving safety (e.g. aqua-
planing)
i 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 higher loads. These are permissible andwill not adversely affect the running of the
vehicle.
The values on the tyre pressure information
label (fuel filler flap) for the vehicle in "parti-
ally laden" and "fully laden" conditions apply
when driving at maximum speed.
Despite the values stated on the tyre pressure
information label, for the vehicle with "parti-
ally laden up to 210 km/h" status, the val-
ues can be reduced as follows, without com-
promising safety:
R Ò20 kPa (Ò0.2 bar/Ò3 psi) for all models
This improves the ride comfort of your vehi-
cle; however, fuel consumption may increase slightly. Tyre pressure monitor
General notes If a tyre pressure monitor system is fitted, the
vehicle's wheels have sensors fitted that
monitor the tyre pressures in all four tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor warns you if the
pressure drops in one or more of the tyres.
The tyre pressure monitor only functions if
the corresponding sensors are fitted to all
wheels.
Information on tyre pressures is shown in the multifunction display. After a few minutes of
driving, the current tyre pressure of each tyre
is shown in the Service Servicemenu of the multi-
function display, see illustration (example). For information on the message display, refer
to the "Checking the tyre pressure electroni-
cally" section (Y page 382).
Important safety notes It is the driver's responsibility to set the tyre
pressure to the recommended cold tyre pres-
sure suitable for the operating situation
(Y page 380). Note that the correct tyre pres-
sure for the current operating situation must
first be taught-in to the tyre pressure monitor. If there is a substantial loss of pressure, the
warning threshold for the warning message isaligned to the reference values taught-in.
Restart the tyre pressure monitor after
adjusting to the cold tyre pressure
(Y page 383). The current pressures are
saved as new reference values. This will Tyre pressure

Warning messages of the tyre pressure
monitor If the tyre pressure monitor detects a pres-
sure loss in one or more tyres, a warning mes-
sage is shown in the multifunction display and the yellow tyre pressure monitor warning
lamp comes on.
R If the Please correct tyre pressure
Please correct tyre pressure
message appears in the multifunction dis-
play, the tyre pressure in at least one tyre is too low and must be corrected at the next
opportunity.
R If the Check tyre(s)
Check tyre(s) message appears in
the multifunction display, the tyre pressure
in one or more tyres has dropped signifi-
cantly and the tyres must be checked.
R If the Warning tyre defect
Warning tyre defect message
appears in the multifunction display, the
tyre pressure in one or more tyres has drop-
ped suddenly and the tyres must be
checked.
Observe the instructions and safety notes in
the display messages in the "Tyres" section
(Y page 295).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are inter-
changed, the tyre pressures may be displayed for the wrong positions for a short time. After
a few minutes of driving, this is rectified and
the tyre pressures are displayed for the cor-
rect positions.
Restarting the tyre pressure monitor When you restart the tyre pressure monitor,
all existing warning messages are deleted and
the warning lamps go out. The monitor uses
the currently set tyre pressures as the refer-
ence values for monitoring. In most cases, the tyre pressure monitor will automatically
detect the new reference values after you
have changed the tyre pressure. However,
you can also define reference values man-
ually as described here. The tyre pressure
monitor then monitors the new tyre pressure values. X

flap to ensure that the tyre pressure is set
correctly in all four tyres for the current
operating conditions.

General notes
! 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. 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, 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, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
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 a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as a result of driving over obstacles
increases. Wheel and tyre combinations

Overview of abbreviations used in the follow-
ing tyre tables:
R BA: both axles
R FA: front axle
R RA: rear axle
You will find a table with recommended tyre
pressures for various operating conditions on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. Fur-
ther information on tyre pressure
(Y page 380). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always fit
the vehicle:
R with tyres of the same size across an axle
(left/right)
R with the same type of tyres at a given time
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit a different
type or make in the event of a flat tyre.
Observe the "MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics)" section
(Y page 358).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is
therefore recommended that you additionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris- tics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be
obtained from a qualified specialist work-
shop.
