Maintenance Booklet
Introduction
Interior filters (e.g. dust filter, recirculat-
ing air filter, activated charcoal filter or
combination filter) are replaced according
to the maintenance intervals listed. Under
severe dust conditions, or with the Climate
Control frequently operating in the air re-
circulation mode, the respective filter
should be replaced correspondingly soon-
er.
Tire rotation - Your vehicle's tires are a
critical component to overall vehicle
performance and vehicle stability. The
useful life of tires will vary and is
proportional to tire type, speed rating,
ambient conditions, tire loading, tire
inflation pressure, road surfaces, and
individual driving style, among other
factors. Therefore, Mercedes-Benz
recommends regular checks for wear and
proper inflation and, if applicable to your
vehicle's tire configuration, tire rotation.
Tire rotations can be performed on
vehicles with the same tire dimensions all
around. If your vehicle is equipped with the
6
same tire dimensions all around, tires can
be rotated by observing a front-to-rear
rotation pattern that will maintain the
intended rotation (spinning) direction of
the tire (on unidirectional tires, an arrow
on the sidewall indicates the intended
rotation or spinning direction of the tire). In
some cases, such as when your vehicle is
configured with staggered-size (different
tire sizes, front vs. rear), tire rotations are
not possible.
If your vehicle's tire configuration allows
for tire rotation, tire rotation should be
performed in accordance with the tire
manufacturer's recommended intervals, or
sooner at first signs of irregular (uneven)
tread wear. Tire manufacturer's rotation
recommendations will necessitate a tire
rotation at least once in between
maintenance services and at every
maintenance service based on Mercedes-
Benz maintenance intervals
