Tyres and wheels
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres which
have been approved by Mercedes-Benz
specifically for your vehicle. These tyres are
specially adapted for use with the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
, and are
marked as follows:
R
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Exten-
ded* (with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information about tyres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
!
If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels and
fuel consumption, etc. may be adversely
affected. In addition, when driving with a
load, dimensional variations and different
tyre deformation characteristics could
cause the tyres to make contact with the
bodywork and axle components. This could
result in damage to the tyres or the vehicle.
i
Further information about tyres and
wheels can be obtained from any
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You will find a table of tyre pressures on the
inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap . You
will find further information about tyre pres-
sures in the "Operation" section
