nction of the ty repressure moni toring sys‐
tem
The sy stem checks the tyre pressure and the
tyre temp erature of the tyres fitted totheve hicle
by means of a tyre pressu resensor.
The tyre pressure and the tyre temp erature
appear in the on-board computer (/ page373).
If th ere is a subs tantial pressure loss or if the
tyre temp erature is excessive, you will be
wa rned with display messages (/ page 458) or
th e0077 warning lamp in the instrument clus ter
( / page 480). The tyre pressure monitoring sy
stem is only an
aid. It is the driver's responsibility toset the tyre
pressure tothere commended cold tyre pressure
suitable forth e operating situation.
In most cases, the tyre pressure monitoring sys‐
te m will auto matically update the new refere nce
va lues af teryo u ha vechanged the tyre pressure.
Yo u can, ho wever,also update there fere nce val‐

tain AMG tyres)
Otherwise, cer tain properties, such as han‐
dling characteristics, vehicle noise emis‐
sions, consum ption, etc. could be adve rsely
af fected. Furthermore, other tyre sizes could
re sult in the tyres rubbing against the body
and axle components when loaded. This
could result in damage tothe tyre or the

WARNING Risk of accident with high
per form ance tyres
The special tyre tread in combination with
th e optimised tyre compound means that the
ri sk of skidding and hydroplaning on wet
ro ads is inc reased.
In addition, the tyre grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temp erature and tyre running
te mp erature. #
Switch on the ESP ®
and adapt your
driving style accordingly. #
Use 004D M+S tyres at outside temp er‐
atures of less than 10 °C. #
Only use the tyres forth eir intended
purpose. Obser

R
Furthermore, the use of cer tain tyre types in
cer tain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOEx tended
tyres) and the same make.
R Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
(left and right).
It is only permissible tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theeve nt of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
ge neral operating pe rmit.

R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tyres fitted.
If th e tyre's maximum speed is below that of
th eve hicle, this must be indicated byan
appropriate label in the driver's field of
vision.
R Run in new tyres at moderate speeds forthe
