Wheel and tire combinations
General notes
You can ask for information regarding permittedwheel/tire combinations at an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
You should regularly check the pressure of theemergency spare wheel, particularly prior tolong trips, and correct the pressure as neces-sary (Ypage 293). The value on the wheel isvalid.
!For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-mends that you only use tires and wheelswhich have been approved by Mercedes-Benzspecifically for your vehicle.
These tires have been specially adapted foruse 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 mayonly be used on wheels that have been spe-cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories testedand approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certaincharacteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noiseemissions or fuel consumption, may other-wise be adversely affected. In addition, whendriving with a load, tire dimension variationscould cause the tires to come into contactwith the bodywork and axle components. Thiscould 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 oraccessories other than those tested andapproved.
Information on tires, wheels and approvedcombinations 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 onretreaded tires. As a result, Mercedes-Benzcannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreadedtires are mounted. Do not mount used tires ifyou have no information about their previoususage.
The recommended pressures for various oper-ating conditions can be found:
Ron the Tire and Loading Information placardon 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 293).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only whenthe tires are cold. Comply with the maintenancerecommendations of the tire manufacturer inthe vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always equipthe vehicle:
Rwith tires of the same size on a given axle (leftand right)
Rwith the same type of tire (summer tires,MOExtended tires, winter tires)
Exception: it is permissible to install a differ-ent type or make in the event of a flat tire.Observe the "MOExtended tires (tires withrun-flat characteristics" section (Ypage 275).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires arenot equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. Itis therefore recommended that you additionallyequip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you mounttires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may be obtained froma qualified specialist workshop.
Emergency spare wheel
Important safety notes
GWARNING
The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of
the spare wheel or emergency spare wheel
and the wheel to be replaced may differ.
Mounting an emergency spare wheel may
severely impair the driving characteristics.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
Radapt your driving style accordingly and
drive carefully.
Rnever mount more than one spare wheel or
emergency spare wheel that differs in size.
Ronly use a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different size briefly.

Rdo not switch ESP®off.
Rhave a spare wheel or emergency spare
wheel of a different 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 emergency spare wheel or sparewheel of a different size, you must not exceedthe vehicle's maximum design speed of 50 mph(80 km/h).
You should regularly check the pressure of theemergency spare wheel, particularly prior tolong trips, and correct the pressure as neces-sary (Ypage 293). The value on the wheel isvalid.
Snow chains must not be mounted on emer-gency spare wheels.
General notes
You can ask for information regarding permittedemergency spare wheels at an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
An emergency spare wheel may also be moun-ted against the direction of rotation. Observethe time restriction on use as well as the speedlimitation specified on the emergency sparewheel.
Replace the tires after six years at the latest,regardless of wear. This also applies to theemergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure loss warning system (Canadaonly):as long as you are driving with the emer-gency spare wheel mounted, the tire pressureloss warning system cannot function reliably.Only restart the tire pressure loss warning sys-tem when the defective wheel has beenreplaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor (USAonly):after an emergency spare wheel has beenmounted, the system may still display the tirepressure of the removed wheel for a fewminutes. The value displayed for the mountedemergency spare wheel is not the same as thecurrent tire pressure of the emergency sparewheel.

Coolant
Important safety notes
GWARNING
If antifreeze comes into contact with hot com-
ponents in the engine compartment, it may
ignite. There is a risk of fire and injury.
Let the engine cool down before you add anti-
freeze. Make sure that antifreeze is not spilled
next to the filler neck. Thoroughly clean the
antifreeze from components before starting
the engine.
!Only add coolant that has been premixedwith the desired antifreeze protection. Youcould otherwise damage the engine.
You can find additional notes on the coolant inthe following places:
Rin the Mercedes-Benz Specifications forService Products, MB BeVo 310.1
-on the Internet athttp://bevo.mercedes-benz.com
-on the Mercedes-Benz BeVo app
Ra qualified specialized workshop
!Always use a suitable coolant mixture, evenin countries where high temperatures prevail.
Otherwise, the engine cooling system is notsufficiently protected from corrosion andoverheating.
iHave the coolant regularly replaced at aqualified specialist workshop and the replace-ment confirmed in the Maintenance Booklet.
Comply with the important safety notes for ser-vice products when handling coolant(Ypage 319).
The coolant is a mixture of water and corrosioninhibitor/antifreeze concentrate. It performsthe following tasks:
Ranti-corrosion protection
Rantifreeze protection
Rraising the boiling point
If the coolant has antifreeze protection down to-35 ‡ (-37 †), the boiling point of the coolantduring operation is approximately 266 ‡(130 †).
The antifreeze concentrate/corrosion inhibitorconcentration in the engine cooling systemshould:
Rbe at least 50%. This will protect the enginecooling system against freezing down toapproximately -35 ‡ (-37 †)
Rnot exceed 55% (antifreeze protection downto -49‡[-45 †]). Otherwise, heat will not bedissipated as effectively
Mercedes-Benz recommends a coolant or cor-rosion inhibitor/antifreeze concentrate inaccordance withMB Specifications for Service Products 310.1.
iWhen the vehicle is first delivered, it is filledwith a coolant mixture that ensures adequateantifreeze and anti-corrosion protection.
iThe coolant is checked with every mainte-nance interval at a qualified specialist work-shop.
