Balancing tyres
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only use
clip-on and adhesive wheel balance weights
which have been tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehicle to
balance the tyres.
Adding balancing granulate, balancing beads
or balancing gel to the tyres can damage the
inliner of the tyre.
Tyre pressures
Important safety notes
G
WARNING
The tyre temperature and pressure increase
when the vehicle is in motion. Reducing the
pressure of warm tyres leads to a tyre pres-
sure that is too low when the tyres have
cooled. If the tyre pressure is too low, it may
cause the tyre to burst, especially when the
load or speed increases. There is a risk of an
accident.
You should never reduce the pressure of
warm tyres. Observe the specified tyre pres-
sure.
The tyre pressure changes by about 10 kPa
(0.1 bar/1.5 psi) for each 10 † change in the
air temperature.
Bear this pressure change in mind when
checking tyre pressures indoors, particularly in
winter, as long as the tyre temperature corre-
sponds to the outside temperature.
Example:
R
the room temperature is approximately
20 †
R
the outside temperature (= tyre pressure) is
approximately 0 †
R
set the tyre pressure to 20 kPa (0.2 bar/
2.9 psi) below the pressure specified in the
tyre pressure table
Note also the safety notes in the "Tyres and
wheels" section (
Y
page 195).
