could cause the tires to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components .T his
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

The recommended pressures for various oper-
ating conditions can be found: R
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the B-pillar on the driver's side R
in the tire pressure table in the fuel filler flap
Observe the notes on recommended tire pres-
sures under various operating conditions

Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are
not equipped with aT IREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefor er ecommended that you additionally
equip your vehicle with aT IREFIT kit if you mount
