Tires and wheels
Safety notes
Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center
for information on tested and recommended
rims and tires for summer and winter opera-
tion. They can also offer advice concerning
tire service and purchase.
G
Warning!
Replace rims or tires with the same desig-
nation, manufacturer and type as shown on
the original part. For further information
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Cen-
ter. If incorrectly sized rims and tires are
mounted, the wheel brakes or suspension
components can be damaged. Also, the
correct operating clearance of the wheels
and the tires may no longer be correct.
G
Warning!
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the
tire tread is worn to minimum tread depth,
or if the tires have sustained damage,
replace them.
When replacing rims, only use genuine Mer-
cedes-Benz wheel bolts specified for the
particular rim type. Failure to do so can
result in the bolts loosening and possibly an
accident.
Retreaded tires are not tested or recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous
damage cannot always be recognized on
retreads. The operating safety of the vehi-
cle cannot be assured when such tires are
used.
G
Warning!
If you feel a sudden significant vibration or
ride disturbance, or you suspect that pos-
sible damage to your vehicle has occurred,
you should turn on the hazard warning
flashers, carefully slow down, and drive
with caution to an area which is a safe dis-
tance from the road.
Inspect the tires and the vehicle underbody
for possible damage. If the vehicle or tires
appear unsafe, have the vehicle towed to
the nearest authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center or tire dealer for repairs.
G
Warning!
Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects
the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You
could lose control of the vehicle. Continued
driving with a flat tire or driving at high
