Dynamic Select Switch - Mercedes-Benz AMG GT Roadster Operator's Manual

120 Driving and parking
Check the tires regularly for signs of
#
damage and replace any damaged tires
immediately.
Check the tires for damage and the correct tire
tread depth both before and after use on a race‐
track. Only then is it safe to drive on a racetrack
and on public roads.
As a result of the driving style and at high ambi‐
ent temperatures, when driving on a racetrack it
may be necessary to compensate for the
increase in pressure in warm tires by releasing
air. Even for warm tires, the specified tire pres‐
sure may only be exceeded by max. 0.5 bar.
After the tires have cooled down again, you must
readjust the tire pressure in accordance with the
specifications in order to drive on public roads.
Suspension
Suspension settings
The factory setting provides a good compromise
for driving on public roads and on a racetrack.
Vehicle measurements
Even small changes to the suspension settings
alter the driving characteristics of the vehicle. To
ensure optimal driving characteristics, the speci‐
fied values and tolerances of the individual sus‐
pension settings must be complied with. The
driving characteristics of the vehicle may other‐
wise be undesirable.
Vehicle measurements are required in the follow‐
ing situations:
The vehicle height has changed in relation to
R
the optimized setting.
The vehicle is frequently subjected to very
R
high loads, e.g. when driving over curbs.
Therefore, check the vehicle height at regular
intervals and, if necessary, perform vehicle
measurements.
Notes on suspension components
Despite regular checks, and regardless of
whether the relevant suspension components
are in good condition, the following components
must be replaced after a certain amount of use
on the racetrack:
Wheel bolts ( page 119)
/
R
Wheel hubs including the wheel bearings
R
Notes on engine oil
Check the engine oil level before operating in
racetrack mode.
