Tire-mounting tools should not be used near
the valve. This could damage the electronic
components.
Only have tires changed ataqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Always observe the instructions and safety
notes in the "Mounting awheel" section
(
Ypage 336).
The wear pattern sonthe front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before aclear wear pattern
has formed on the tires. Frontt ires typically
wear more on the shoulders and the rear tires in the center.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can rotatet he wheels accord-
ing to the intervals in the tire manufacturer's
warranty book in your vehicle documents. If no
warranty book is available, the tires should be
rotated every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to
10,000k m).Earlier may be necessary, depend-
ing on the degree of tire wear. Do not change the
direction of wheel rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is rota-
ted. Check the tire pressure and, if necessary,
restart the tire pressure loss warning system
(
Ypage 323) or the tire pressure monitor
(Ypage 325).
Direction of rotation
Tires with aspecified direction of rotation have
additional benefits ,e.g. if there is arisk of hydro-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tires are installed corresponding to the
direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicates its
correctd irection of rotation.
Storing wheels
Storewheels that are not being used in acool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protectt he tires
from oil, grease, gasoline and diesel.
Mounting awheel
Preparing the vehicle
XStop the vehicle on solid, non-slippery and
level ground.
XApply the electric parking brake manually.
XBring the front wheels into the straight-ahead position.
XShift the transmission to position P.
XMake sure that the vehicle level is set to "Nor-
mal" on vehicles with AIRMATIC(Ypage 172).
XSwitch off the engine.
XVehicles without KEYLESS-GO: remove the
SmartKey from the ignition lock.
XVehicles with KEYLESS-GO start-function
or KEYLESS-GO: open the driver's door.
The on-board electronics now have status 0.
This is the same as the SmartKey having been
removed.
XVehicles with KEYLESS-GO start-function
or KEYLESS-GO: remove the Start/Stop but-
ton from the ignition lock (
Ypage 131).
XMake sure that the engine cannot be started
via your smartphon e(Ypage 134).
XIf included in the vehicle equipment, remove
the tire-change tool kit from the vehicle.
XSafeguard the vehicle against rolling away.
Securing the vehicle to prevent it from
rolling away
If your vehicle is equipped with awheel chock,i t
can be found in the vehicle tool kit (Ypage 300).
The folding wheel chock is an additional safety
measure to prevent the vehicle from rolling
away,f or example when changing awheel.
