WARNING Risk of injury through exceed-
ing the specified tyre load-bearing capa-
city or the permissible speed rating
Exceeding the load-bearing capacity of the
tyres can lead to tyre damage and could cause
the tyres to explode.
#
Therefore, only use tyre types and sizes
approved for your vehicle model.
#
Observe the tyre load-bearing capacity
rating and speed rating required for your
vehicle.
*
NOTE Vehicle and tyre damage caused by
non-approved tyre types and sizes
For safety reasons, only use tyres, wheels and
accessories which have been specially
approved by Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle.
These tyres are specially adapted to the active
safety systems, such as ABS, ESP
®
and
4MATIC, and marked as follows:
R
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(run-flat tyres only for certain wheels)
R
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Otherwise, certain properties, such as han-
dling characteristics, vehicle noise emissions,
consumption, etc. could be adversely affec-
ted. Furthermore, other tyre sizes could result
in the tyres rubbing against the body and axle
components when loaded. This could result in
damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that
have been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.
*
NOTE Risk to driving safety from retrea-
ded tyres
Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous
damage cannot always be detected on retrea-
ded tyres.
For this reason driving safety cannot be guar-
anteed.
#
Do not use used tyres if you have no
information about their previous usage.
*
NOTE Possible wheel and tyre damage
when driving over obstacles
Large wheels have a smaller section width. As
the section width decreases, the risk of
wheels and tyres being damaged when driving
over obstacles increases.
#
Avoid obstacles or drive especially care-
fully.
#
Reduce your speed when driving over
kerbs, speed bumps, manhole covers
and potholes.
#
Avoid particularly high kerbs.
* NOTE Possible wheel and tyre damage
when parking on kerbs or in potholes
Parking on kerbs or in potholes can damage
the wheels and tyres.
#
Only park on level surfaces if possible.
#
Avoid kerbs and potholes when parking.
