&WARNING Risk of injury from usingthe
windshield wipers while the engine hood
is open
When the engine hood is open and the wind‐
shield wipers are set in motion, you can be
trapped bythe wiper linkage.
#Alw ays switch off the windshield wipers
and ignition before opening the engine
hood.
#To open: pull lever1 torelease the hood.#Push hood catch 1upwards and lift the
hood byappr oximately 15in (40 cm).
#Toclose: lowe rth e hood and let it fall from a
height of appr oximately 8 in (20 cm).
#Ifth e hood can still be lif ted slightl y,open
th e hood again and close it with a little more
fo rc e until it engages cor rectl y.

Maintenance and care

Preceding letter1:RWithout: passenger vehicle tires according to
European manufactu ring standards.
R"P": passenger vehicle tires according toUS
manufacturing standards.
R"LT": light truck tires according toUS manu‐
fa cturing standards.
R"T": compact emer gency spa rewheels with
high tire pressure that are only designe dfo r
te mp orary use in an emer gency.
Aspect ratio 3
:
Ra tio between tire height and tire width in per‐
cent (ti reheight divided bytire width).
Tire code 4
(tire type):R"R" radial tires
R"D": diagonal or bias-ply tires
R"B": diagonal radial tires or bias belted tires
R"ZR": radial tires with a maximum speed
abo ve149mp h(2 40 km/h) (optional) Rim diame
ter5
:
The diam eter of the bead seat (not the diame ter
of therim flange). The rim diame ter is specified
in inches (in).
Load-bearing index 6
Numerical codethat specifies the maximum
load-bearing capacity of a tire (for example, "91"
cor responds to1356 lbs (6 15kg)).
The load-bearing capacity of the tire must be at
least half the permissible gross axle load of your
ve hicle. Do not overload the tires by exceeding
th e specified load limit.

Speed rating 7
:
Specifies the appr oved maximum speed of the
tire. %
An electronic speed limite r prevents your
ve hicle from exceeding a speed of 130mp h
(2 10 km/h).
Make surethat your tires ha vetherequ ired
speed rating. You can obtain information on the
re qu ired speed rating from an au thorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.

Wheels and tires

these are ins talled on theve hicle, but does not
include passengers or luggage.
Maximum tire load: the maximum tire load is
th e maximum permissible weight in kilog rams or
lbs for which a tire is appr oved.
Maximum permissible tire pressure: maxi‐
mum permissible tire pressure for one tire.
Maximum load on one tire: maximum load on
one tire. This is calculated bydividing the maxi‐
mum axle load of one axle bytwo.
PSI (pounds per square in ch):standard unit of
measurement for tire pressure .
Aspect ratio: ratio between tire height and tire
width in pe rcent.
Ti re pressure: pressure inside the tire applying
an outward forc eto eve rysquare inch of the tire.
The tire pressure is specified in pounds per
square inch (psi), in kilopascals (kPa) or in bar.
The tire pressure should only be cor rected when
th e tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure: the tires are cold when the
ve hicle has been par kedfo r at least 3 hours without direct sunlight on
the tires or theve hicle
has been driven for less than 1 mile (1.6 km).
Ti re contact sur face: the part of the tire that
comes into con tact wi th thero ad.
Ti re bead: the purpose of the tire bead is to
ensure that the tire sits securely on the wheel
ri m. There are se veralst eel wires in the bead to
pr eve nt
the t
ire from coming loose from the
wheel rim.
Side wall:the part of the tire between the tread
and the tire bead.
We ight of optional equipment: the combined
we ight of the optional equipment weighing more
th an there placed standard parts and more than
5 lbs (2.3 kg).This optional equipment, such as
high-per form ance brakes, le vel control sy stem, a
ro of luggage rack or high-per form ance batte ries,
is not included in the curb weight and thewe ight
of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique
identification number which can be used bya
tire manufactu rerto identify tires, forex ample,
in a product recall, and thus identify the pur‐
ch asers. The TIN is made up of the manufactur‐ er's identity code, tire size, tire type code and
th
e manufacturing date.
Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index
(also load index) is a code that con tains the max‐
imum load-bearing capacity of a tire.
Tr action: traction is the grip resulting from fric‐
tion between the tires and thero ad sur face.
We ar indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars)
th at are distributed overth e tire conta ct surface.
If th e tire tread is le vel with the bars, thewe ar
limit of 1/ 16in (1.6 mm) has been reached.
Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution
of vehicle occupants
over design
ated seat posi‐
tions in a vehicle.
Maximum permissible pa yload weight: nomi‐
nal load and luggage load plus 150 lb (68 kg)
multiplied bythe number of seats in theve hicle.
