wheel and adjust if necessary.
Observe the recommended tyre pressures
( page 337).

If you are driving with the emergency spare
wheel fitted, the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem or the tyre pressure monitor cannot func-
tion reliably. Restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system or tyre pressure monitor only once
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: all fitted
wheels must be equipped with functioning sen-

Wheel and tyre combinations

General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted
wheel/tyre combinations at a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
You should regularly check the pressure of all
your tyres, including the emergency spare
wheel, particularly prior to long trips, and cor-
rect the pressure as necessary (
The value on the wheel is valid.
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by Mercedes-Benz
specifically for your vehicle.
These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
marked as follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
R
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
R
tain AMG tyres)
Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres may
only be used on wheels that have been spe-
cifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Wheel and tyre combinations
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tested
and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Certain
characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle noise
emissions or fuel consumption, may other-
wise be adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with a load, tyre dimension variations
could cause the tyres to come into contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the
vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for dam-
age resulting from the use of tyres, wheels or
accessories other than those tested and
approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres and
approved combinations can be obtained from
any qualified specialist workshop.
!
ommended by Mercedes-Benz, since previ-
ous damage cannot always be detected on
retreaded tyres. As a result, Mercedes-Benz
cannot guarantee vehicle safety if retreaded
tyres are fitted. Do not fit used tyres if you
have no information about their previous
usage.
!
for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll comfort
and suspension comfort are reduced and the
risk of damage to the wheels and tyres as a
result of driving over obstacles increases.
The recommended tyre pressures for various
operating conditions can be found on the tyre
pressure table on the fuel filler flap. Further
