A flat tyre severely impairs the driving, steer-
ing and braking characteristics of the vehicle.
There is a risk of an accident.
Do not drive with a flat tyre. Immediately
replace the flat tyre with your spare wheel, or
consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Accessories that are not approved for your vehi-
cle by Mercedes-Benz or are not being used cor-

Information for a journey
Check the tyre pressures when the vehicle is
heavily laden and, if necessary, adjust.
While driving, pay attention to vibrations, noises
and unusual handling characteristics, e.g. pull-
ing to one side. This may indicate that the
wheels or tyres are damaged. If you suspect that
a tyre is defective, reduce your speed immedi-
ately. Stop the vehicle as soon as possible to
check the wheels and tyres for damage. Hidden
tyre damage could also be causing the unusual
handling characteristics. If you find no signs of
damage, have the tyres and wheels checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
When parking your vehicle, make sure that the
tyres do not get deformed by the kerb or other
obstacles. If it is necessary to drive over kerbs,
speed humps or similar elevations, try to do so
slowly and not at a sharp angle. Otherwise, the
tyres, particularly the sidewalls, may be dam-
aged.
