components when loaded. This could result in
damage to the tyre or the vehicle.
Only use tyres, wheels and accessories that
have been checked and recommended by
Mercedes-Benz.
* NOTE Risk to driving safety from retrea-
ded tyres
Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous
damage cannot always be detected on retrea-
ded tyres.
For this reason driving safety cannot be guar-
anteed.
Do not use used tyres if you have no
#
information about their previous usage.
* NOTE Possible wheel and tyre damage
when driving over obstacles
Large wheels have a smaller section width. As
the section width decreases, the risk of
wheels and tyres being damaged when driving
over obstacles increases.
Avoid obstacles or drive especially care-
#
fully.
Reduce your speed when driving over
#
kerbs, speed bumps, manhole covers
and potholes.
Avoid particularly high kerbs.
#
* NOTE Possible wheel and tyre damage
when parking on kerbs or in potholes
Parking on kerbs or in potholes can damage
the wheels and tyres.
Only park on level surfaces if possible.

Avoid kerbs and potholes when parking.

* NOTE Damage to electronic component
parts due to the use of tyre-fitting tools
Vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem: there are electronic component parts in
the wheel.
If tyre-fitting tools are positioned in the area of
the valve, the electronic components could be
damaged.

Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in
#
the area of the valve.
Always have tyres changed at a qualified
#
specialist workshop.
* NOTE Damage to summer tyres at low
ambient temperatures
At low ambient temperatures, tears could form
when driving with summer tyres, causing per-
manent damage to the tyre.
At temperatures below 7 °C use i
#
M+S tyres.
Accessory parts which are not approved for your
vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or which are not used
correctly, can impair the operating safety.
