Check wheels and tires for damage at least once

a month. Check wheels and tires after driving

off-road or on rough roads. Damaged wheels

can cause a loss of tire pressure. Pay particular

attention to damage such as:

cuts in the tires

punctures

tears in the tires

bulges on tires

deformation or severe corrosion on wheels

Regularly check the tire tread depth and the

condition of the tread across the whole width of

the tire (

Y page 347). If necessary, turn the

front wheels to full lock in order to inspect the

inner side of the tire surface.

All wheels must have a valve cap to protect the

valve against dirt and moisture. Do not mount

anything onto the valve other than the standard

valve cap or other valve caps approved by

Mercedes-Benz for your vehicle. Do not use any

other valve caps or systems, e.g. tire pressure

monitoring systems.

Regularly check the pressure of all the tires par-

ticularly prior to long trips. Adjust the tire pres-

sure as necessary (

Y page 349).

Observe the notes on the emergency spare

wheel (

Y page 372).

The service life of tires depends, among other

things, on the following factors:

Driving style

Tire pressure

Distance covered

Notes on tire tread

WARNING

Insufficient tire tread will reduce tire traction.

The tire is no longer able to dissipate water.

This means that on wet road surfaces, the risk

of hydroplaning increases, in particular where

speed is not adapted to suit the driving con-

ditions. There is a risk of accident.

If the tire pressure is too high or too low, tires

may exhibit different levels of wear at differ-

ent locations on the tire tread. Thus, you

should regularly check the tread depth and

the condition of the tread across the entire

width of all tires.

Minimum tire tread depth for:

Summer tires: â in (3 mm)

M+S tires: ã in (4 mm)

For safety reasons, replace the tires before

the legally prescribed limit for the minimum

tire tread depth is reached.

Marking : shows where the bar indicator

(arrow) for tread wear is integrated into the tire

tread.

Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by law.

Six indicators are positioned on the tire tread.

They are visible once a tread depth of approx-

imately á in (1.6 mm) has been reached. If this

is the case, the tire is so worn that it must be

replaced.

Selecting, mounting and replacing

tires

Only mount tires and wheels of the same type

and make.

Exception: it is permissible to install a differ-

ent type or make in the event of a flat tire.

Observe here the "MOExtended tires (tires

with run-flat characteristics)" section

(

Y page 332).

Only mount tires of the correct size onto the

wheels.

Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the

first 60 miles(100 km). They only reach their

full performance after this distance.

Do not drive with tires which have too little

tread depth, as this significantly reduces the

traction on wet roads (hydroplaning).

Replace the tires after six years at the latest,

regardless of wear.
