Therefore, you should only correc ttirep res-

Rif th evehicl ehas been parked wit hthe tires
out of direct sunligh tfor at least three hour s
and
Rif th evehicl ehas no tbeen driven further than
1m ile (1. 6km)
The tire temperature changes depending on th e
outside temperature, th evehicl espee dand th e

when the lo wtire pressure telltale illuminates,
yo us houl dstop and check your tire sassoon

sequence will be repeated every time the vehi-
cle is started as long as the malfunction
exists.
When the malfunctio nindicator is illuminated,
the system mayn ot be able to detect or signal

It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to thatr ecommendedfor col dtires
which is suitabl efor the operating situation
(

result, awarning message will appear if the tire
pressure drops significantly.
The tire pressure monitor does not warn yo uof

Quality grades can be found,where applicable,
on the tire sidewall between tread shoulde rand

Example:
RTreadwear grade: 200
RTractiongrade: AA
RTemperature grade: A
All passengerc ar tires must conform to the stat-
utory safety requirements in additio ntothese
grades.
iThe actua lvalues for tires are vehicle-spe-
cific and may deviate from the values in the
illustration.
Treadwear
The treadwea rgrad eisac omparativ erating
based on the wea rrate of the tire whe ntested
unde rcontrolled conditions on aspecified U.S.
government course. For example, atire graded
150 would wea rone and one-half times as well
on the government test track as atire graded
100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon
the actua lconditions of their use ,however, and
may depart significantly from the norm duet o
variations in driving habits, service practices
and differences in road characteristics and cli-
mate.
Traction
GWARNING
The tractio ngrad eassignedtot his tire is
based on straight-ahead braking traction
tests, and doesn ot include acceleration, cor-
nering, hydroplaning ,orpeaktractio nchar-
acteristics.
!Avoid wheelspin. Thisc an leadtodamage to
the driv etrain.
The tractio ngrades –from highest to lowest –
are AA, A, Band C. Thoseg rades represent the
tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as meas-
ure dunde rcontrolled conditions on specified
government test surfaces of asphal tand con-
crete. Atire marked Cmay have poort raction
performance.
The safe speedonaw et, snow coveredoricy
road is always lower than on dry road surfaces. You should pay speciala
ttentiontoroadc ondi-
tions whe ntemperatures are around freezing
point.
Mercedes-Benz recommends aminimum tread
depth of ãin (4 mm )onallfour winter tires.
Observe the legally required minimum tire tread
depth (
Ypag e261). Winter tires can reduce the
braking distance on snow-covered surfaces in
comparisonw iths ummer tires. The braking dis-
tance is stil lmuch furthe rthan on surfaces that
are not icy or coveredw iths now. Take appro-
priate care whe ndriving.
Temperature
GWARNING
The temperature grad efor this tire is estab-
lished for atire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessiv espeed, underinfla-
tion, or excessive loading ,eithers eparately or
in combination, can cause excessive heat
build-up and possibl etire failure.
The temperature grades are A(the highest),B ,
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the
