slightly.
For certain child restraint systems in weight categories II or III, this can mean that the area of use
is restricted. The maximum size setting of the child restraint system may not be possible due to
possible contact with the roof.

47Safety Z

Pay particular attention to damage such as:
R cuts in the tyres
R punctures
R tears in the tyres
R bulges on the tyres
R deformation or severe corrosion on the
wheels
Regularly check the tyre tread depth and the
condition of the tread across the whole width of
the tyre (Y page 236). In order to inspect the
inner side of the tyre surface, turn the steering
wheel to full lock.
All wheels must have avalve cap to protec tthe
valve against dirt and moisture. Do not fit any-
thing ontot he valve other than the standard
valve cap or avalve cap approved by Mercedes-
Benz for your vehicle. Do not fit any other valve caps or systems, e.g. tyre pressure monitors.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres including the spare wheel, particu-
larly prior to long trips. Adjust the tyre pressure as necessary (Y page 238).
The service life of atyre depends on various fac-
tors, including the following:
R driving style
R tyre pressure
R mileage Notes on th
etyre tread G
WARNING
Insuffic ient tyre tread willr educe tyre trac-
tion. The tyre is no longer abletod issipate
water .This means that on wet road surfaces,
the risk of aquaplaning increases, in particular where spee disnot adapted to suitt he driving
conditions. There is arisk of accident.
If the tyre pressure is too high or too low,t yres
may exhibi tdifferent levels of wearatd iffer-
ent locations on the tyre tread. Thus ,you
should regularl ycheck the tread depth and
the condition of the tread across the entire
width of all tyres.
Minimu mtyre tread depth for:
R summe rtyres: 3mm
R M+S tyres: 4mm For safety reasons, replace the tyre
sbefore
the legally prescribed limit for the minimum
tyre trea ddepth is reached. Select
ing, fitting and replacing tyres G
WARNING
Exceeding the state dtyre load-bearing capa-
city and the approved maximu mspee dcould
leadtot yre damage or the tyre bursting. There
is ar isk of accident.
Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes
approved for yourv ehiclemodel .Observe the
tyre loadr ating and spee drating required for
yourv ehicle.
Pay special attention to country-specific

wheels.
R Runinn ew tyres at moderate speeds for the
first 100 km. They reach their full perform-
ance only after this distance.
R Do not drive with tyres that have too little
tread depth. This significantly reduces trac-
tion on wet road s(aquaplaning).
R Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This alsoa ppliestothe
