Vehicle equipment i This manual describes all the standard and optional equipment of your vehicle which was available at the time of purchase. Country-specific differences are possible. Bear in mind that your vehicle may not feature all functions described here.
Directives to be observed R Only mount tires and wheels of the same type and make. R Only mount tires of the correct size onto the wheels. R After mounting new tires, run them in at moderate speeds for the first 60 miles (100 km) as they only reach their full performance after this distance.
Depending upon the weather and/or road surface (conditions), the tire traction varies widely. Do not use tires until they are excessively worn as the tire traction on wet road surfaces decreases significantly when the tread depth is less than 1 / 8 in (3 mm).
R check the tire for foreign bodies. R check whether the wheel is losing air or the valve is leaking. R make sure that only a valve cap approved by Mercedes-Benz is installed on the tire valve. tire pressure that is too low have a negative effect on vehicle safety, which could lead you to cause an accident.
Additional specifications of tire pressure values for loads can also be found on the tire pressure table on the inside of the fuel filler flap. The tire pressure for emergency spare wheels can be foun.
