Mercedes-AMGvehicles:observethe notes inthe Supplement. Otherwise,you may notrecog‐nize dangers.
You can askfor informationregarding permittedwheel/tire combinations at an authorizedMercedes-Benz Center.
\nWARNINGRisk of accident duetoincor‐rect dimensions of wheels and tires
If wheels and tires ofthe wrong size areinstalled,the wheel brakes or wheel suspen‐sion components may be damaged.
Alwaysreplace wheels and tires withthosethat fulfillthe specifications ofthe original part.
Whenreplacing wheels, make suretofitthecorrect:
RDesignation
RModel
Whenreplacing tires, make suretoinstallthecorrect:
RDesignation
RManufacturer
RModel
\nWARNINGRisk of injurythroughexceed‐ingthe specified tire loadrating orthepermissible speedrating
Exceedingthe specified tire loadrating orthe permissible speedrating may leadtotiredamageandtothe tires bursting.
Therefore, only use tire types and sizesapprovedforyourvehicle model.
Observethe tire loadrating and speedratingrequiredforyourvehicle.
NOTEVehicle and tire damagethroughtire types and sizesthat havenot beenapproved
For safetyreasons, onlyuse tires, wheelsand accessories which havebeen speciallyapprovedbyMercedes-Benzforyourvehicle.
These tires are specially adaptedtothe con‐
trol systems, such as ABS, ESP®and4MATIC, and marked asfollows:
RMO = Mercedes-Benz Original
RMOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended(run-flat tire onlyfor certain wheels)
RMO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer‐tain AMG tires)
Certaincharacteristics, such as handling,vehicle noise emissions, fuel consumption,etc. mayotherwise be adversely affected.Furthermore,other tire sizes couldresult inthe tiresrubbing againstthe body and axlecomponents when loaded. This couldresultin damagetothe tire orthevehicle.
Wheels and tires405

Observethefollowing when selecting, installingandreplacing tires:
ROnly use tires and wheels ofthe same type(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtendedtires) andthe same make.
ROnly install wheels ofthe same size on oneaxle (left andright).
It is only permissibletoinstall a differentwheel size intheevent of aflat tire in ordertodrivetothe specialistworkshop.
ROnly install tires ofthe correct size ontothewheels.
RVehicles with a tire pressure monitoringsystem:All installed wheels must be equip‐ped with functioning sensorsforthe tirepressure monitoring system.
RAttemperatures below 45 °F (7 °C), use win‐ter tires or all-season tires marked M+Sforall wheels.
Winter tires bearingtheMsnowflake sym‐bol in additiontothe M+S marking providethe best possible grip in wintryroad condi‐tions.
RFor M+S tires, only use tires withthe sametread.
RObservethe maximum permissible speedforthe M+S tires installed.
Ifthis is belowthevehicle's maximum speed,this must be indicatedbyan appropriatelabel inthe driver'sfield of vision.
RBreak in new tires at moderate speedsforthefirst 60 miles (100 km).
RReplacethe tires after sixyears atthe latest,regardless ofwear.
RWhenreplacing with tires that do notfea‐turerun-flatcharacteristics:vehicles withMOExtended tires are not equipped with aTIREFIT kit atthefactory.Equipthevehiclewith a TIREFIT kit afterreplacing with tiresthat do notfeaturerun-flatcharacteristics,e.g. winter tires.

Notes on brakefluid
Observethe notes on operatingfluids(→page419).
\nWARNINGRisk of an accident duetovapor pocketsforming inthe brake sys‐tem
The brakefluid constantly absorbs moisturefromthe air. This lowersthe boiling point ofthe brakefluid. Ifthe boiling point istoo low,vapor pockets mayforminthe brake systemwhenthe brakes are applied hard.
This causesthe braking effecttobeimpaired.
