Important notes on tire pressure
GWARNING
If th etire pressur edrops repeatedly, th e
wheel, valv eor tire may be damaged. Tir e
pressur ethat is to olow may result in atire
blow-out .Ther eis aris kof an accident.
RChec kth etire for foreign objects .
RCheckwhether th ewhee lis losing air or th e
valv eis leaking .
If you are unable to rectify th edamage, con-
tac t a qualified specialist workshop.
GWARNIN G
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tire
valves, th etire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction ,whic hcan caus etire pressur e
loss .Due to their design ,retrofitte dtire pres-
sur emonitors keep th etire valv eopen .This
can also result in tire pressur eloss .Ther eis a
ris kof an accident.
Only screw th estandard valv ecap or other
valv ecap sapprove dby Mercedes-Ben zfor
your vehicl eonto th etire valve.
Use asuitable pressur egauge to chec kth etire
pressure. The outer appearanc eof atire does
no tpermit any reliable conclusio nabout th etire
pressure. On vehicles equipped wit hth eelec -
tronic tire pressur emonitor, th etire pressur e
can be checke din th eon-board computer.
The tire temperature and pressur eincreas e
when th evehicl eis in motion .This is dependen t
on th edriving spee dand th eload.
Therefore, you should only correc ttire pres-
sures when th etires are cold.
The tires are cold:
Rif th evehicl ehas been parked wit hth etires
out of direct sunligh tfor at least three hour s
and
Rif th evehicl ehas no tbeen driven further than
1 mile (1. 6km)
The tire temperature changes depending on th e
outside temperature, th evehicl espee dand th e
tire l
oad. If th etire temperature changes by
18 ‡(10 †), th etire pressur echanges by
approximately 10 kP a(0. 1bar/1.5 psi) .Tak e
this int oaccoun twhen checkin gth epressur eof
warm tires .Only correc tth etire pressur eif it is to
olow for th ecurren toperating conditions. If
you chec kth etire pressur ewhen th etires are
warm ,th eresulting value will be higher than if
th etires were cold. This is normal. Do no t
reduce th etire pressur eto th evalue specifie d
for cold tires .The tire pressur ewould otherwise
be to olow.

Wheels and tires

Lowering the vehicle
GWARNING
The wheels could work loose if the wheel nuts and bolts are not tightened to the specified
tightening torque. There is a risk of accident.
Have the tightening torque immediately
checked at a qualified specialist workshop
after a wheel is changed.
!Mercedes-AMG vehicles with a collapsi-
ble spare wheel: before lowering the vehicle,
inflate the collapsible spare wheel with the
tire inflation compressor. The wheel rim could
otherwise be damaged.
XPlace the ratchet wrench onto the hexagon
nut of the jack so that the letters ABare visi-
ble.
XTurn the ratchet wrench until the vehicle is
once again standing firmly on the ground.
XPlace the jack to one side.
XTighten the wheel bolts evenly in a crosswise pattern in the sequence indicated (: toA).
The tightening torque must be
110 lb-f t(150 Nm).
XTurn the jack back to its initial position.
XStow the jack and the rest of the tire-change
tool kit in the stowage well under the cargo
compartment floor again.
XCheck the tire pressure of the newly mounted
wheel and adjust it if necessary.
Observe the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 324).
When you are driving with the collapsible spare
wheel mounted, the tire pressure loss warning
system or the tire pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably. Only restart the tire pressure loss
warning system or tire pressure monitor when the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with a tire pressure control sys-
tem:
all installed wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors.
Wheel and tire combinations
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel/tire combinations at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
!For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tires and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz
specifically for your vehicle.
These tires have been specially adapted for
use with the control systems, such as ABS or
ESP
®, and are marked as follows:
RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original
RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires featuring run-flat characteristics)
RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tires)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with a load, tire dimension variations
could cause the tires to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tires or the vehi- cle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tires, wheels or
accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Information on tires, wheels and approved
combinations can be obtained from any quali-
fied specialist workshop.
!Retreaded tires are neither tested nor rec-
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-
ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tires. As a result, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tires are mounted. Do not mount used tires if

If standard unleaded gasoline is unavailable
and you have to refuel with unleaded gasoline
of a lower grade, observe the following pre-
cautions:
ROnly fill the fuel tank to half full with regular unleaded gasoline and fill the rest with pre-
mium-grade unleaded gasoline as soon as
possible.
RDo not drive at the maximum speed.
RAvoid sudden acceleration and engine
speeds over 3,000 rpm.
You will usually find information about the fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the pump, ask the staff for assistance.
iFor further information, consult a qualified
specialist workshop or visit
http://www.mbusa.com (USA only).
As a temporary measure, if the recommended
fuel is not available, you may also use regular
unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of
87 AKI/91 RON. This may reduce engine per-
formance and increase fuel consumption. Avoid
driving at full throttle and sudden acceleration.
Never refuel using gasoline with a lower AKI.
Information on refueling (
Ypage 140).
Additives
!Operating the engine with fuel additives
added later can lead to engine failure. Do not
mix fuel additives with fuel. This does not
include additives for the removal and preven-
tion of residue buildup. gasoline must only be mixed with additives recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. Comply with the instructions
for use on the product label. More information
about recommended additives can be
obtained from any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use bran-
ded fuels that have additives.
The fuel quality available in some countries may
not be sufficient. Residue could build up in the
fuel injection system as a result. In such cases,
and in consultation with an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center, the fuel may be mixed
with the cleaning additive recommended by
Mercedes-Benz. You must observe the notes
and mixing ratios specified on the container.
Diesel
Fuel grade
GWARNING
If you mix diesel fuel with gasoline, the flash
point is lower than that of pure diesel fuel.
When the engine is running, exhaust system
components could overheat without being
noticed. There is a risk of fire.
Never refuel with gasoline. Never mix gasoline with diesel fuel.
!Only use Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD),
otherwise it may lead to increased wear and
damage to the fuel system, engine and
exhaust system.
!Do not use the following:
Rgasoline
Rdiesel with a bio-diesel content greater
than 5% (e.g. B20)
Rbio-diesel
Rvegetable oil
Rparaffin
Rkerosene
Rmarine diesel
Rheating oil
Do not mix such fuels with diesel fuel and do
not use any special additives. Otherwise,
engine damage may occur.
!In countries outside USA and Canada, only
use sulfur-free diesel with a sulfur content
under 50 ppm. Otherwise, the emission con-
trol system could be damaged.
You will usually find information about the fuel
grade on the pump. If you cannot find the label
on the pump, ask the staff for assistance.
Information on refueling (
Ypage 140).
Low outside temperatures
iDiesel fuel with improved cold flow proper-
ties is available during the winter months.
Further information about fuel properties can
be obtained from oil companies, e.g. at gas
stations.
