Other wheel sizes may cause the tyres to come
into contact with the vehicle body and axle
components when under load. This may result
in damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
#
Only use tyres, wheels and accessories
that have been checked and recommen-
ded by Mercedes-Benz.
*
NOTE Driving safety put at risk by retrea-
ded tyres
Retreaded tyres are not checked or recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz, as previous dam-
age is not always detected during the retread
process.
Driving safety cannot, therefore, be guaran-
teed.
#
Do not use used tyres when their previ-
ous usage is unknown.
*
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 Damage to electronic component
parts through the use of tyre-fitting tools
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring system:
there are electronic component parts in the
wheel. Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied
in the area of the valve.
Otherwise, the electronic component parts
could be damaged.
#
Always have tyres changed at a qualified
specialist workshop.
Accessories that are not approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are not being used correctly,
can impair operating safety.
Before purchasing and using non-approved acces-
sories, visit a qualified specialist workshop and
enquire about:
R
suitability
R
legal stipulations
R
factory recommendations
Observe the following points when selecting, fitting
and replacing tyres:
R
Country-specific requirements for tyre
approval that define a specific tyre type for
your vehicle.
Furthermore, the use of certain tyre types in
certain regions and areas of operation can be
highly beneficial.
R
Use only tyres and wheels of the same type,
design (summer tyres, winter tyres, all-season
tyres) and make.
R
Only fit wheels of the same size and tread
design on one axle (left and right).
It is only permissible to fit a different wheel
size to this in the event of a flat tyre in order to
drive to the specialist workshop.
R
Only fit tyres of the correct size onto the
wheels.
R
Do not make any modifications to the brake
system, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and results in the invalidation of the
vehicle's general operating permit.
R
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem: all fitted wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors for the tyre pressure moni-
toring system.
R
At temperatures below 10°C use winter tyres
or all-season tyres with the M+S marking on all
wheels.
Winter tyres bearing the
i
snowflake sym-
bol in addition to the M+S marking provide the
best possible grip in wintry road conditions.
R
For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
the M+S tyres fitted.
If this is below the vehicle's maximum permis-
sible speed, this must be indicated in an appro-
priate label in the driver's field of vision.
