If yo u ha vemounted snow chains tothe front
wheels, the snow chains may drag against
th eve hicle body or chassis components. This could cause damage
totheve hicle or

Never mount snow chains on the front
wheels. #
Only mount snow chains on there ar
wheels in pairs. *

Remo vethe wheel trims of steel wheels
before mounting snow chains. R
Snow chains are on ly permissible for cer tain
wheel/tire combinations. You can obtain
information about this from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.

Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tires pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tires may bur st, especially as the

R
The tires may wearexc essively and/or

traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tire
pressure and check the tire pressure of
all tires including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes
R before embarking on a lon ger journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tire pressure as necessar y.Driving wi
thtire pressu rethat is too high or too
low can:
R Sho rten the service life of the tires.
R Cause increased tire damage. R

WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics. #
Avoid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Ti
re pressure which is too low can cause:
R Tire defects as a result of overheating
R Impaired handling characteristics
R Irre gular wear
R Increased fuel consum ption &
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can
bu rst because they are damaged more easily
by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics. #
Avoid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Excessively high tire pressure can
result in:
R Increased braking dis tance
R Impaired handling characteristics

WARNING Risk of accident caused by
re peated drop in tire pressure
If th e tire pressure drops repeatedl y,the
wheel, valve or tire may be damaged.
Insuf ficient tire pressure can cause the tires
to bur st. #
Inspect the tire for signs of fore ign
objects. #
Check whe ther the wheel or valve has a
leak. #
Ifyo u are unable torectify the damage,
conta ct aqualified specialist workshop. Yo
u can find information on tire pressure forthe
ve hicle's factor y-ins talled tires on thefo llowing
labels:
R Tire and Loading In form ation placard on the
B‑pillar of your vehicle (→ page 384).
R Tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel
fi ller flap (→ page379).
Obse rveth e maximum tire pressure
(→ page 390). Use a suitable tire pressure
gauge tocheck the
tire pressu re. The ou ter appearance of a tire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
th e tire pressure.
Ve hicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m: You can also check the tire pressure using
th e on-board computer.
Only cor rect tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Conditions for cold tires:
R The vehicle has been par ked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours.
R The vehicle has tr aveled less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
A rise in the tire temp erature of 18°F (10 °C)
increases the tire pressure byappr ox.10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi). Take this into account when
ch ecking the tire pressure of warm tires.
The tire pressu re recommended for increased
load/speed in the tire pressure table can af fect
th eride comfort. &
WARNING Risk of accident from unsuita‐
ble accesso ries on the tire valves
If yo u mount unsuitable accessories on totire
va lves, the tire valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tire pressure
loss. Tire pressure monitoring sy stems for
re trofitting will cause the tire valve toremain
open. This can also result in tire pressure
loss. #

cold tires under various operating conditions, i.e.

If one or more tire sizes precede a tire pressure,
th e tire pressure information following is only

The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in theta ble for dif fere nt num‐
be rs of passengers and amounts of luggage. The
actual number of seats may dif fer from this. Some tire pressure

DANG ER Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct tire pressure
Every tire, including the spare (if pr ovided),
should be checked when cold at least once a
month and inflated tothe pressure recom‐
mended bytheve hicle manufacturer (see
Ti re and Loading In form ation placard on the
B-pillar on the driver ’sside or the tire pres‐
sure label on the inside of the fuel filler flap
of your vehicle). If your vehicle has tires of a
dif fere nt size than the size indicated on the
Ti re and Loading In form ation placard or the tire pressu
retable, you need todeterm ine
th e proper tire pressure forth ose tires.
As an added saf etyfe ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitor‐
ing sy stem (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator lamp when one or more of
yo ur tires are significantly underinflated.
Ac cording ly, if the low tire pressure indicator
lamp lights up, you should stop and check
yo ur tires as soon as possible, and inflate
th em tothe proper pressure. Driving on a
significant lyunderinflated tire causes the tire
to ov erheat and can lead totire failure.
Un derinflation also increases fuel consump‐
tion and reduces tire tread life, and may
af fect theve hicle's handling and braking abil‐
ity. Please no tethat the TPMS is not a substi‐
tute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the
driver's responsibility tomaintain cor rect tire
pressure, even if underinflation has not
re ached the le velto trig ger illumination of
th e TPMS low tire pressure indicator lamp.
Yo ur vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when th
e sy stem is not operating proper ly. The
TPMS malfunction indica tor is combined with
th e low tire pressure indicator lamp. When
th e sy stem de tects a malfunction, the indica‐
to r lamp will flash for appro ximately a minute
and then remain continuously illumina ted.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent
ve hicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
ex ists.
When the malfunction indicator is illumina‐
te d, the sy stem may not be able todetect or
signal low tire pressure as intended. TPMS
malfunctions may occur for a variet y of rea‐
sons, including the ins tallation of incompati‐
ble replacement or alternate tires or wheels
on theve hicle that pr eventthe TPMS from
functioning properly.
Alw aysch eck the TPMS malfunction warning
lamp af terre placing one or more tires or
wheels on your vehicle toensure that the
re placement or alternate tires and wheels
allow the TPMS tocontinue tofunction prop‐
erly. Wheels and tires

The sy
stem checks the tire pressure and the tire
te mp erature of the tires ins talled on theve hicle
by means of a tire pressu resensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,
are automatically taught-in during thefirs t jour‐
ney they are used.
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tire temp erature is excessive, you will be warned
in thefo llowing ways:
R via display messa ges (→ page 450)
R viathe0077 warning lamp in the instrument
clus ter (→ page 474)
The tire pressu remonitoring sy stem is only an
aid. It is the driver's responsibility toset the tire
pressure tothere commended cold tire pressure
suitable forth e operating situation. Set the tire
pressure for cold tires using a tire pressu re
ga uge. Notethat the cor rect tire pressure forthe
cur rent operating situation mu stfirs t be taught-
in to the tire pressure monitoring sy stem.
In most cases, the tire pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto maticallyupdate the new refere nce
va lues af teryo u ha vechanged the tire pressure.
Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐ ues
byrestarting the tire pressure monitoring
sy stem manually (→ page 383).
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem may be impaired or may not function
in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth e tire pressure is set incor rectly
R Ifth ere is a sudden pressure loss caused, for
