Tire Pressure - Mercedes-Benz B-Class Electric Drive 2014 Operator's Manual

To avoid hazardous situations:
never mount snow chains on the rear
R
wheels
only mount snow chains in pairs on the
R
front wheels.
! On some tire sizes there is not enough
space for snow chains. To avoid damage to
the vehicle or tires, observe the "Wheel and
tire combinations" section under "Tires and
wheels".
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that
have been specially approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are of a corresponding
standard of quality.
If you intend to mount snow chains, please
bear the following points in mind:
Snow chains may not be mounted on all
R
wheel/tire combinations. Permissible
wheel-tire combinations (
Only use snow chains when driving on
R
roads completely covered by snow.
Remove the snow chains as soon as possi-
ble when you come to a road that is not
snow-covered.
Local regulations may restrict the use of
R
snow chains. Observe the appropriate reg-
ulations if you wish to mount snow chains.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
R
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
When snow chains are installed, never use

G WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
the tires may burst, especially as the load
R
and vehicle speed increase.
the tires may wear excessively and/or
R
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
the driving characteristics, as well as steer-
R
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing the spare wheel:
monthly, at least
R
if the load changes
R
before beginning a long journey
R
under different operating conditions, e.g.
R
off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
Use a suitable pressure gauge to check the
tire pressure. The outer appearance of a tire
does not permit any reliable conclusion about
the tire pressure. On vehicles equipped with
the electronic tire pressure monitor, the tire
pressure can be checked in the on-board
computer.
The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factory can be found on the
labels described here.

The Tire and Loading Information placard con-
tains the recommended tire pressures for
