Risk of fire and accident
Do not store or transport in the cab sub-
stances which are hazardous to health and
substances which react aggressively. Gases
and fluids can escape even from securely
closed containers. This can:
I
compromise your health and ability to
concentrate on driving the vehicle
I
damage electrical components (e.g. con-
trol units and plug connectors), resulting
in malfunctions, system failures and
even short circuits, which could start a
fire
You could cause an accident and injure
yourself and others.
Tyres and wheels
Operating and driving safety
Tyres are particularly important for the op-
erating reliability and driving safety of the
vehicle. You should therefore check the
tyre pressure, tyre tread and tyre condition
on a regular basis.
A specialist tyre store, a qualified special-
ist workshop or any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre will be able to give you fur-
ther information about:
I
List of recommended makes of tyre
I
Tyre load-bearing capacity (LI Load In-
dex)
I
Speed index (maximum permissible
tyre speed)
I
Tyre age
I
Causes and effects of tyre wear
I
Measures to be taken in the event of
tyre damage
I
Tyre types for specific regions, areas of
operation or conditions of vehicle use
I
Possibilities for changing tyres, etc.
Modifications to the brake system or
wheels are not permissible, nor is the use
of spacer plates or brake dust shields. Any
such modifications will invalidate the vehi-
cle's general operating permit.
G
Risk of accident
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres which have
been approved by Mercedes-Benz specifi-
cally for your vehicle. These tyres are spe-
cially adapted for the vehicle handling char-
acteristics, comfort, wear and for use with
the control systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
.
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. You can obtain informa-
tion about tyres from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
If you fit tyres other than those tested and
recommended for Mercedes-Benz, charac-
teristics such as handling, noise levels, fuel
consumption and wear, etc. may be ad-
versely affected. In addition, when driving
with a load, dimensional variations and dif-
ferent tyre deformation characteristics
could cause the tyres to make contact with
the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
