2017 MERCEDES-BENZ E-CLASS SALOON warning

The tyre pressure
table sho ws there commended
tyre pressure for all tyres appro vedfo rth is vehi‐
cle. The recommended tyre pressures apply for
cold tyres under various operating conditions,
i.e. loading and/or speed of theve hicle.
If one or more tyre sizes precede a tyre pres‐
sure, the tyre pressure information following is
only valid forth ose tyre sizes. If
th e preceding tyre sizes are complemented by
th e+ symbol, the tyre pressure information
fo llowing sho wsalternative tyre pressures.
These tyre pressures may impr oveyour vehicle's
ri de comfort. Fuel consum ption may then
increase slightl y.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in theta ble for dif fere nt num‐
be rs of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may dif fer from this.

tem
The sy stem checks the tyre pressure and the
tyre temp erature of the tyres fitted totheve hicle
by means of a tyre pressu resensor.
New tyre pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tyres,
are automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
driven. The tyre pressure and
the tyre temp erature
appear in the multifunction display
(→ page 255).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tyre temp erature is excessive, a warning will be
given:
R Via display messages (→ page417).

It is the driver's responsibility toset the tyre
pressure tothere commended cold tyre pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tyre
pressure for cold tyres using a tyre pressu re
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tyre pressure for

per form ance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with
th e optimised tyre compound, means that
th erisk of skidding or hydroplaning on wet
ro ads is inc reased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temp erature and tyre running
te mp erature. #
Switch on the ESP ®
and adapt your
driving style accordingly. #
Use M+S tyres at outside temp eratures
of less than 50 °F. 354

R Countr y-specific requirements for tyre
appro valth at define a specific tyre type for
yo ur vehicle.
Fu rthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Only fit tyres of the cor rect size onto the
wheels.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
ge neral operating pe rmit. R

or all-season tyres mar ked M+S for all
wheels.
Wi nter tyres bearing thei snowflake
symbol in addition tothe M+S marking pro‐
vide the best possible grip in wintry road
conditions.
R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
