TIN (Tire Identification Number)
This is aunique identifier which can be use dby
at ire manufacturer to identify tires, for example
for aproduct recall, and thus identify the pur-
chasers. The TIN is made up of the manufactur-
er's identity code, tire size, tire type code and
the manufacturing date.
Load bearin gindex
The loa dbearing index (also loa dindex) is acode
that contains the maximu mloadb earing capa-
city of atire.
Traction
Tractio nisthe result of friction between the tires
and the road surface.
Treadwear indicators
Narrow bars (tread wea rbars )that are distrib-
uted over the tire tread. If the tire tread is level
with the bars ,the wea rlimi tofá in (1.6 mm)
has been reached.
Occupant distribution
The distribution of occupants in avehicl eatt heir
designated seating positions.

Changing awheel
Flat tire
The "Breakdown assistance" section
(Ypage241) contains information and notes on
how to dealw ithaflat tire. Informatio nondriv-
ing with MOExtended tires in the event of aflat
tire can be found under "MOExtended tires (tires
with run-fla tcharacteristics" (
Ypag e242).
Rotating the wheels
GWARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tires have different dimensions. The whee lbrakes or suspension components
may als obedamaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the wheels and tires are of the same dimensions.
!On vehicles equipped with atire pressure
monitor, electronic components are located
in the wheel.
Tire-mounting tools should not be use dnear
the valve .This coul ddamage the electronic
components.
Only have tires changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Always pay attention to the instructions and
safety notes when changing awheel
(
Ypag e275).
The wea rpatterns on the front and rear tires
differ, depending on the operating conditions.
Rotate the wheels before aclearw earp attern
has formed on the tires. Front tires typically
wea rmore on the shoulders and the rear tires in
the center.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can rotate the wheels accord-
ing to the interval sinthe tire manufacturer's
warranty book in you rvehicl edocuments. If no
warranty book is available,t he tires should be
rotated every 3,000 to 6,000 mile s(5,000 to
10,000 km) .Depending on tire wear, this may
be required earlier. Do not change the direction
of whee lrotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the whee land the
brake disc thoroughly every time awhee lisr ota-
ted. Check the tire pressure and, if necessary,
restart the tire pressure loss warning system or
the tire pressure monitor.
Directio nofrotation
Tires with aspecified direction of rotation have
additiona lbenefits, 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.

Wheels and tires

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.C ertain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with aload, 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,s ince previ-
ous damage cannot alwaysbed etected on
retreaded tires. As aresult, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tires are mounted. Do not mount used tires if
you have no information about their previous
usage.
The recommended pressures for various oper-
ating conditions can be found:
Ron the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the B-pillar on the driver's side
Rin the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire pres-
sures under various operating conditions
(
Ypage 258).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only when
the tires are cold. Comply with the maintenance
recommendations of the tire manufacturer in
the vehicle document wallet. Notes on the vehicle equipment
–alwayse quip
the vehicle:
Rwith tires of the same size on agiven axle (left
and right)
Rwith the same type of tires at agiven time
(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended
tires)
Exception: it is permissible to install adiffer-
ent type or make in the event of aflat tire.
Observe t

he "MOExtended tires (tires with
run-flat characteristics" section (
Ypage 242).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are
not equipped with aTIREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefor erecommended that you additionally
equip your vehicle with aTIREFIT kit if you mount
tires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.
winter tires. ATIREFIT kit may be obtained from
aq ualified specialist workshop.
Emergency sparew heel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of the spare wheel or emergencys pare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mountin ganemergencys pare wheel may
severely impair the driving characteristics.
There is arisk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
Radapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
Rnever mount more than one spare wheel or
emergencys pare wheel that differs in size.
Ronly useaspare wheel or emergencys pare
wheel of adifferent size briefly.
Rdo not switch ESP®off.
Rhave aspare wheel or emergencys pare
wheel of adifferent size replaced at the
nearest qualified specialist workshop.
Observe that the wheel and tire dimensions
as well as the tire type must be correct.
When using an emergencys pare wheel or spare
wheel of adifferent size, you must not exceed
the maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
