2019 MERCEDES-BENZ GLA warning

Observe the instructions and safety notes inthe display messages in the "Tires" section(Ypage 223).
If the wheel positions on the vehicle are rota-ted, the tire pressures may be displayed forthe wrong positions for a short time. This isrectified after a few minutes of driving, and thetire pressures are displayed for the correctpositions.
Restarting the tire pressure monitor
When you restart the tire pressure monitor, allexisting warning messages are deleted and thewarning lamps go out. The monitor uses thecurrently set tire pressures as the referencevalues for monitoring. In most cases, the tirepressure monitor will automatically detect thenew reference values after you have changedthe tire pressure. However, you can also setreference values manually as described here.The tire pressure monitor then monitors thenew tire pressure values.
XSet the tire pressure to the value recom-mended for the corresponding driving situa-tion on the Tire and Loading Informationplacard on the driver's sideB-pillar (Ypage 307).
You can find more tire pressure values forvarious operating conditions in the tire pres-sure table inside the fuel filler flap(Ypage 144).
XMake sure that the tire pressure is correcton all four wheels.

Loading the vehicle
Instruction labels for tires and loads
GWARNING
Overloaded tires can overheat, causing a
blowout. Overloaded tires can also impair
the steering and driving characteristics and
lead to brake failure. There is a risk of acci-
dent.
Observe the load rating of the tires. The load
rating must be at least half of the GAWR of
your vehicle. Never overload the tires by
exceeding the maximum load.
Two instruction labels on your vehicle showthe maximum possible load.
(1) The Tire and Loading Information placardis on the B-pillar on the driver's side. TheTire and Loading Information placardshows the maximum permissible numberof occupants and the maximum permissi-ble vehicle load. It also contains details ofthe tire sizes and corresponding pressuresfor tires mounted at the factory.
(2) The vehicle identification plate is on the B-pillar on the driver's side. The vehicleidentification plate informs you of thegross vehicle weight rating. It is made upof the vehicle weight, all vehicle occu-pants, the fuel and the cargo. You can alsofind information about the maximum grossaxle weight rating on the front and rearaxle.
The maximum gross axle weight rating isthe maximum weight that can be carriedby one axle (front or rear axle). Neverexceed the maximum load or the maxi-mum gross axle weight rating for the frontor rear axle.
CB-pillar, driver's side
Maximum permissible gross vehicle
weight rating
XSpecification for maximum gross vehicleweightCis listed in the Tire and LoadingInformation placard: "The combined weightof occupants and cargo should neverexceed XXX kilograms or XXX lbs."
The gross weight of all vehicle occupants, loadand luggage must not exceed the specifiedvalue.
iThe specifications shown on the Tire andLoading Information placard in the illustra-tion are examples. The maximum permissi-ble gross vehicle weight rating is vehicle-specific and may differ from that in the illus-tration. You can find the valid maximum per-missible gross vehicle weight rating for yourvehicle on the Tire and Loading Informationplacard.

Wheels and tires

The wear patterns on the front and rear tiresdiffer, depending on the operating conditions.Rotate the wheels before a clear wear patternhas formed on the tires. Front tires typicallywear more on the shoulders and the rear tiresin the center.
On vehicles that have the same size front andrear wheels, you can rotate the wheels accord-ing to the intervals in the tire manufacturer'swarranty book in your vehicle documents. If nowarranty book is available, the tires should berotated every 3,000 to 6,000 miles (5,000 to10,000 km). Depending on tire wear, this maybe required earlier. Do not change the direc-tion of wheel rotation.
Clean the contact surfaces of the wheel andthe brake disc thoroughly every time a wheelis rotated. Check the tire pressure and, if nec-essary, restart the tire pressure loss warningsystem (Canada only) or the tire pressuremonitor (USA only).
Direction of rotation
Tires with a specified direction of rotation haveadditional benefits, e.g. if there is a risk ofhydroplaning. These advantages can only begained if the tires are installed correspondingto the direction of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tire indicatesits correct direction of rotation.
Storing wheels
Store wheels that are not being used in a cool,dry and preferably dark place. Protect the tiresfrom oil, grease, gasoline and diesel.

Lowering the vehicle
GWARNING
The wheels could come loose if the wheel
bolts or wheel nuts are not tightened to the
prescribed tightening torque. There is a risk
of an accident.
Ensure that the wheel bolts or wheel nuts
are tightened to the prescribed tightening
torque.
If you are not sure, do not move the vehicle.

which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically 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,when driving with a load, tire dimension var-iations could cause the tires to come intocontact with the bodywork and axle compo-nents. This could result in damage to thetires or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-age resulting from the use of tires, wheelsor accessories other than those tested andapproved.
Information on tires, wheels and approvedcombinations can be obtained from anyqualified 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 tiresif you have no information about their previ-ous usage.
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 307).
Check tire pressures regularly, and only whenthe tires are cold. Comply with the mainte-nance recommendations of the tire manufac-turer in the vehicle document wallet.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – alwaysequip the vehicle:
Rwith tires of the same size on a given axle(left and 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 288).
Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires arenot equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.It is therefore recommended that you addition-ally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if youmount tires that do not feature run-flat proper-ties, e.g. winter tires. A TIREFIT kit may beobtained from a 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 dif-
fer. Mounting an emergency spare wheel
may severely impair the driving characteris-
tics. 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 dimen-
sions as well as the tire type must be cor-
rect.
When using an emergency spare wheel orspare wheel of a different size, you must not

exceed the vehicle's maximum design speedof 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 307). 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 permit-ted emergency 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 thespeed limitation specified on the emergencyspare wheel.
Replace the tires after six years at the latest,regardless of wear. This also applies to theemergency spare wheel.
Tire pressure loss warning system (Can-ada only):as long as you are driving with theemergency spare wheel mounted, the tirepressure loss warning system cannot functionreliably. Only restart the tire pressure losswarning system when the defective wheel hasbeen replaced with a new wheel.
Vehicles with tire pressure monitor (USAonly):after an emergency spare wheel hasbeen mounted, the system may still displaythe tire pressure of the removed wheel for afew minutes. The value displayed for themounted emergency spare wheel is not thesame as the current tire pressure of the emer-gency spare wheel.
