Rims And Tires - Mercedes-Benz ML350 Operator's Manual

Rims and tires

!
Only use tires which have been specifi-
cally developed for your vehicle and
tested and approved by
Mercedes-Benz. Tires approved by
Mercedes-Benz are developed to pro-
vide best possible performance in con-
junction with the driving safety
systems on your vehicle such as ABS or
®
ESP and can be identified by finding
the following on the tire's sidewall:
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
equipment tires
Using tires other than those approved
by Mercedes-Benz may result in dam-
age that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
!
Using tires other than those approved
by Mercedes-Benz can have detrimen-
tal effects, such as
poor handling characteristics
increased noise
increased fuel consumption
Moreover, tires and rims not approved
by Mercedes-Benz may, under load,
exhibit dimensional variations and dif-
ferent tire deformation characteristics
that could cause them to come into
contact with the vehicle body or axle
parts. Damage to the tires or the vehi-
cle may be the result.

Further information on tires and rims is
available at any authorized
Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.
A placard with the recommended tire
inflation pressure is located on the
driver's door B-pillar. Some vehicles
may have supplemental tire inflation
pressure information for driving at high
speeds ( page 345) or for vehicle
loads less than the maximum loaded
vehicle condition. If such information is
provided, it can be found on the placard
located on the inside of the fuel filler
flap. The tire inflation pressure should
be checked regularly and should only
be adjusted on cold tires. Follow tire
manufacturer's maintenance recom-
mendation included with vehicle.
