If your vehicle is equipped with the tyre
pressure monitor, there are electronic
components in the wheels.
Fitting tools must not be used in the area
of the valve. Otherwise, the electronic com-
ponents could be damaged.
Always have the tyres replaced at a quali-
fied specialist workshop, e.g. a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
Wheel and tyre combinations
Please bear the following in mind
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle.
These tyres have been specially adapted
for use with the control systems, such as
ABS or ESP
®
, and are marked as follows:
R
MO =Mercedes-BenzOriginal
R
MOE =Mercedes-BenzOriginal Extended
(tyres with run-flat characteristics)
R
MO1 =Mercedes-BenzOriginal (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with aload, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components.This could result in dam-
age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benzaccepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories otherthan those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about tyres, wheels
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre.
!
Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Benzcannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not
fit used tyres if you have no information
about their previous usage.
i
You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel fillerflap.
For further information on tyre pressure,
see (Y page 243).
i Notes on the vehicle equipment–always
fit the vehicle:
R
with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R
with the same type of tyres at a given
time (summer tyres, MOExtended tyres,
winter tyres)
i
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory.
It is therefore recommended that you addi-
tionally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit
if you fit tyres that do not feature run-flat
properties, e.g. winter tyres. You can obtain
aTIREFIT kit from aMercedes-Benz Service
Centre, for example.
