vecountr y-specific la ws.
Make sure that the load is secure before every
jou rney and at regular inter vals during a long
journe y.Ad just the load securing as necessar y.
Information on how tosecure loads cor rectly can
be obtained from the manufacturers of load
securing aids or tie downs for load-securing, for
ex ample.
When securing loads, obse rveth efo llowing:
R Fill spaces between the load and the cargo
compartment walls or wheel wells. Forth is
purpose, use rigid load securing aids, such as
we dges, wooden fixings or padding.
R Attach secured and stabilized loads in all
directions.
Use the cargo tie-down points or tie-down
ey es and the loading rails in the cargo com‐
partment or on the load sur face.
Only use tie downs, such as lashing rods, lock
ro ds or lashing nets and lashing stra ps, which
has been tested in accordance with cur rent
st andards (e.g. DIN EN). Alw ays use the cargo
tie-down points closest tothe load; pad sharp
edges.
Loads, and heavy loads in particular, should
preferably be secured using the tie-down
ey es.
% Yo
u can obtain tie downs tested in accord‐
ance with cur rent standards (e.g. DIN EN)
from any specialist company or from a quali‐
fi ed specialist workshop.
Note s onthe pa rtition
Wi thout a partition, vehicles that are appr oved as
commercial vehicles (N1, N2) do not fulfill ISO
27 956, whi chdescribes the equipment for prop‐
erly securing a load in deli very vehicles. If the
ve hicle is used totranspo rtgoods, retrofitting the
partition is stro ng lyrecommended, as prope rly
securing the load in vehicles without a partition
will alw ays be a complex operation.
% Yo
u must not store anything in the area
between the back of the seats and the parti‐
tion. Overview of cargo tie-down points

Secure loose loads with an appr oved lashing net
or a tarp s.
Alw aysfast enthe lashing net or tarp toall availa‐
ble cargo tie-down points. Make sure that thefa s‐
te ning hoo ksare secured against acciden tal
opening.
If yo ur vehicle is equipped with loading rails in
th e cargo compartment floor, you can place lash‐
ing rods directly in front of and behind the load.
The lashing rods directly absorb the po tential
shi fting forc es.
Securing loads on the cargo compartment floor
by lashing them down is only recommended for Tr
ansporting 273

WARNING Risk of an accident when driv‐

Overloaded tires may overheat and bur stas a
consequence. Overloaded tires can also
impair thesteering and handling characteris‐
tics and lead tobrake failure. #
Obser vethe load rating of the tires. #
The load rating mu stbe at least half the
gross axleweight rating of theve hicle.
Mercedes-Benz recommends you use
th e load-bearing index, which is given in
th eve hicle documents. #
Neverove rload the tires by exceeding
th e maximum load. Only

er's side. 1
Tire and Loading In form ation placard %
The data shown in
the illustration is sample
data.
The Tire and Loading In form ation placard sho ws:
R The maximum number of seats indicates the
maximum number of occupants permitted to
tr ave l in theve hicle.
R The maximum permissible load equals the
gross weight of all vehicle occupants, the lug‐
ga ge and cargo.
R The recommended tire pressu resfo r cold
tires. The recommended tire pressures apply
to the maximum permissible load and up to
th e maximum permissible speed of theve hi‐
cle.
Also obser vethefo llowing information:
R The information about permissible weights on
th eve hicle identification plate (/ page 338).
R The information about tire pressure on the
tire pressure table . Wheels and tires
317

Aspect
ratio: relationship between tire height
and tire width in percent.
Ti re pressure: pressure inside the tire applying
an outward forc eto eve rysquare inch of the
tire's su rface. The tire pressure is specified in
pounds per square inch (psi), in kilopascal (kPa)
or in bar. The tire pressure should only be cor rec‐
te d when the tires are cold.
Ti re pressure on cold tires: the tires are cold
when theve hicle has been par ked with the tires
out of direct sunlight for at least thre e hours and
th eve hicle has been driven less than 1 mile
(1.6 km).
Ti re contact sur face: the part of the tire that
comes into con tact wi th thero ad.
Ti re bead: the purpose of the tire bead is to
ensure that the tire sits securely on the wheel
ri m. There are se veral wire cores in the tire bead
to preve ntthe tire from changing length on the
wheel rim.
Side wall:the part of the tire between the tread
and the tire bead.
Special equipment weight: the combined
we ight of those optional extras that we igh more
th an there placed standard parts and more than
5 lbs (2.3 kg). These op tionalextras, su chas
high-pe rformance brakes, le vel control sy stem, a
ro of luggage rack or a high-per form ance batter y,
are not included in the curb weight and the
we ight of the accessories.
TIN (Tire Identification Number): a unique iden‐
tification number which can be used bya tire
manufacturer toidentify tires, forex ample for a
product recall, and thus identify the pur chasers.
The TIN is made up of the manufacturer identifi‐
cation code, tire size, tire type code and the man‐
ufacturing date.
Load-bearing index: the load-bearing index (also
load index) is a code that con tains the maximum
load-bearing capacity of a tire.
Tr action: traction is there sult of friction between
th e tires and thero ad sur face.
We ar indicator: narrow bars (tread wear bars)
th at are distributed overth e tire tread. If the tire
tread is le vel with the bars, thewe ar limit of
1/ 16 in (1.6 mm) has been reached.
Distribution of vehicle occupants: distribution
of vehicle occupants over designated seat posi‐
tions in a vehicle. Maximum permissible pa
yload weight: nomi‐
nal load and luggage load plus 150 lbs (68 kg)
multiplied bythe number of seats in theve hicle. Changing a wheel
