Points to remember
!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-

specially adapted for use with the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
marked as follows:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Exten-
R
ded* (with run-flat characteristics)
If you use other tyres, Mercedes-Benz can-
not accept any responsibility for damage
which may occur. Information about tyres
can be obtained from any Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.

tem are not equipped with the TIREFIT

It is therefore recommended to additionally
equip your vehicle with the TIREFIT kit*
when fitting tyres that do not feature run-
flat properties, e.g. winter tyres.

load, dimensional variations and different
tyre deformation characteristics 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.
