NNOOTE TE 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.
*
NNOOTE TE 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.
*
NNOOTE TE Possible wheel and tyre damage
when parking on kerbs or in potholes
Parking on kerbs or in potholes may damage
the wheels and tyres.
#
If possible, park only on at surfaces.
