Please bear the following in mind

Risk of accident
Due to the special tyre tread in combination
with the optimised rubber compound, there is
an increased risk of aquaplaning and skidding
on a damp or wet road surface. Make sure that
ESP
®
is activated for the corresponding road
surface conditions.
Tyre grip is noticeably reduced at low outside
temperatures and low tyre operating temper-
atures. This leads to an increased risk of skid-
ding and resulting vehicle instability. Use win-
ter tyres when the outside temperature falls
below 7†.
If others use the vehicle with the high per-
formance tyres fitted, you as the vehicle
owner must point out the safety guidelines
and/or limitations to these persons.
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-
ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for yourvehi-
cle. These tyres have been specially adap-
ted for use with the driving safety systems,
such as ABS or ESP
®
.Ifyou use other tyres
and wheels, Mercedes-Benz cannot accept
any responsibility for damage that may
result from this. Further information about
tyres, wheels and approved combinations
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
If you use tyres other than those tested and
recommended for Mercedes-Benz vehi-
cles, characteristics such as handling, vehi-
cle noise emissions and fuel consumption
may be adversely affected. In addition, the
wheels may come into contact with the
body or axle components when heavily loa-
ded or when driving with snow chains. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.

You will find a table of tyre pressures on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap.

R
with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
