Introduction
If your vehicle’s tire configuration allows
for tire rotation, tire rotation should be
performed in accordance with the tire
manufacturer’s recommended intervals,
or sooner at first signs of irregular
(uneven) tread wear. Tire manufacturer’s
rotation recommendations will
necessitate a tire rotation at least once in
between maintenance services and at
every maintenance service based on
Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals
.
The first tire rotation, so long as it occurs
before 6,500 miles (vehicle odometer),
will be provided at no charge by an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center courtesy of Mercedes-Benz.
Should a tire rotation not be possible for
your vehicle’s tire configuration, an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center will check your tires for proper tire
inflation pressure and perform a tread
inspection, also at no charge courtesy of
Mercedes-Benz, so long as this occurs
before 6,500 miles (vehicle odometer).
For your convenience, this Maintenance
Booklet contains a tire rotation
confirmation page on which you can
record the date and mileage when tire
rotations were performed.
Severe operating conditions - The
maintenance intervals have been
determined so that the vehicle, under
normal operating conditions, should
operate properly between maintenance
services. Severe operating conditions
may call for correspondingly sooner
replacement of the following items:
INTERIOR FILTERS (e.g. dust filter,
recirculating air filter, activated charcoal
filter or combination filter) are replaced
as called for by the Maintenance System.
Under severe dust conditions, or with the
Climate Control frequently operating in
the air recirculation mode, the filters
should be replaced correspondingly
sooner and changed more frequently
than as called for by the Maintenance
System.
