Notes on the vehicle equipment – always fit the
vehicle:
with tyres of the same size across an axle
R
(left/right)
with the same type of tyres at a given time
R
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit a different
type or make in the event of a flat tyre.
Observe the "MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics)" section
(
page 337).
Y
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not equip-
ped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It is there-
fore recommended that you additionally equip
your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you fit tyres that
do not feature run-flat characteristics, e.g. win-
ter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from a
qualified specialist workshop.

Emergency spare wheel
When using an emergency spare wheel or spare
wheel of a different size, you must not exceed
the maximum speed of 80 km/h.
Snow chains must not be fitted to emergency
spare wheels.
General notes
You can ask for information regarding permitted
emergency spare wheels 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.
An emergency spare wheel may also be fitted
against the direction of rotation. Observe the
time restriction on use as well as the speed lim-
itation specified on the emergency spare wheel.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear. This also applies to the
emergency spare wheel.
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. Only restart the tyre pressure loss
warning system or tyre pressure monitor when
the defective wheel has been replaced with a
new wheel.
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitor: after
fitting an emergency spare wheel, the system
may still display the tyre pressure of the
removed wheel for a few minutes. The value dis-
played for the position where the emergency
spare wheel is fitted is not the same as the cur-
rent tyre pressure of the emergency spare
wheel.
