Technical data
Tyres and wheels
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use tyres and wheels
which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle. Only use Michelin summer tyres
( page 347) and Michelin or Dunlop win-
ter tyres* ( page 349). These tyres have
been specifically approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz. They provide best pos-
sible performance in conjunction with the
driving safety systems on your vehicle
®
such as ABS or ESP
.
If you use other tyres and wheels,
Mercedes- Benz cannot accept any re-
sponsibility for damage that may result
from this. Further information about tyres,
wheels can be obtained from your PLM or
any SLR Service Centre.

If you use tyres other than those which have
been tested and recommended for
Mercedes-Benz, characteristics such as han-
dling, noise levels and fuel consumption could be
adversely affected. In addition, when driving with
a load or when using snow chains, dimensional
variations and different tyre deformation charac-
teristics could cause the tyres to make contact
with the bodywork and axle components. This
could result in damage to the tyres or the vehi-
cle.

Further information about wheels and tyres
can be obtained from your PLM or any SLR Serv-
ice Centre.
You will find a table of tyre pressures for warm
and cold tyres on the door sill of the passenger
side. Only correct tyre pressures when the tyres
are cold.
