Rims and Tires

!

Only use tires which have been tested

and approved for your vehicle 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

®

. Tires specially developed for

your vehicle and tested and approved

by Mercedes-Benz can be identified by

finding the following on the tire’s side-

wall:

앫 MO = Mercedes-Benz Original

equipment tires

앫 MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original

E

xtended (tires with limited run-flat

characteristics) 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.

For information on driving with

MOExtended tires, see

“MOExtended system*” (

컄 page 411).

!

Using tires other than those approved

by Mercedes-Benz can have detrimen-

tal effects, such as

앫 poor handling characteristics

앫 increased noise

앫 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.

i

Further information on tires and rims is

available at any authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center. A placard with

the recommended tire inflation

pressures is located on the driver’s

door B-pillar. Some vehicles may have

supplemental tire inflation pressure

information for driving at high speeds

(

컄 page 315) or for vehicle loads less

than the maximum loaded vehicle

condition (

컄 page 315). If such infor-

mation is provided, it can be found on

the placard located on the inside of the

fuel filler flap. The tire inflation pres-

sure should be checked regularly and

should only be adjusted on cold tires.

Follow tire manufacturer’s mainte-

nance recommendation included with

vehicle.
