Tyres and wheels<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz recommends that, for<br />

safety reasons, you only use tyres that<br />

have been specially approved for your vehicle<br />

by <strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz. These tyres are<br />

specially suited for use with control systems<br />

such as ABS or ESP.<br />

If you use other tyres, <strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz cannot<br />

be held responsible for any damage<br />

that may occur. You may obtain information<br />

about tyres from any <strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz<br />

Service Centre.<br />

If you fit tyres other than those approved<br />

and recommended by <strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz,<br />

properties such as handling characteristics,<br />

noise emissions and fuel consumption,<br />

etc. may be adversely affected.<br />

In addition, when driving with a load, dimensional<br />

variations and different tyre deformation<br />

characteristics could cause the<br />

tyres to make contact with the bodywork<br />

and axle components. This may result in<br />

the tyre or the vehicle being damaged.<br />

Retreaded tyres are neither checked nor<br />

recommended by <strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz since<br />

previous damage cannot always be detected<br />

on retreaded tyres. As a result,<br />

<strong>Mercedes</strong>-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle<br />

Operation<br />

Tyres and wheels<br />

Risk of accident G<br />

Only use the wheel sizes stated in the vehicle<br />

registration document. If other wheels<br />

are fitted:<br />

the wheel brakes or chassis components<br />

could be damaged, for example<br />

wheel and tyre clearance is no longer<br />

guaranteed<br />

safety. Modification work on the brake system<br />

and wheels is not permitted, nor is the use<br />

of spacer plates or brake dust shields. Any<br />

such modifications will invalidate the vehicle's<br />

general operating permit.<br />

Nur fuer internen Gebrauch<br />
