Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tyres pose the
following risks:
the tyres may burst, especially as the load
R
and vehicle speed increase.
the tyres may wear excessively and/or
R
unevenly, which may greatly impair tyre
traction.
the driving characteristics, as well as steer-
R
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.

Observe the recommended tyre pressure and
check the tyre pressure of all the tyres includ-
ing the spare wheel:
at least every two weeks
R
when the load changes
R
before embarking on a longer journey
R
for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
R
road driving
If necessary, correct the tyre pressure.
G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tyre
valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is
a risk of accident.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tyre valve.
G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in a tyre
blow-out. There is a risk of accident.
Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
R
valve is leaking.
If you are unable to rectify the damage, con-
tact a qualified specialist workshop.
H
Environmental note
Check the tyre pressure regularly, at least
every 14 days.
