!
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz
recommends that you only use tires,
wheels and accessories which have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz specifically
for your vehicle. These tires have been
specially adapted for use with the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP
®
, and are
marked as follows:
R
MO = Mercedes-Benz Original
R
MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tires with run-flat characteristics)
R
MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (AMG)
Only use Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
tires on wheels that have been specifically
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
If you use other tires, wheels and
accessories, Mercedes-Benz cannot
accept any responsibility for damage that
may result from this. Further information
about tires, wheels and approved
combinations can be obtained from any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
!
If you mount tires other than those tested
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz,
characteristics such as handling, noise
levels and fuel consumption, etc. may be
adversely affected. In addition, when
driving with a load, tire dimensional
variations could cause the tires to come
into contact with the bodywork and axle
components. This could result in damage
to the tires or the vehicle.
i
Further information about tires and
wheels can be obtained from any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

The Tire and Load Information placard

attached to the B-pillar on the driver's side.
Further information about driving at high
speeds or driving with vehicle loads that are
lighter than the maximum vehicle load can
be found in the tire pressure table on the
inside of the fuel filler flap. Check tire
pressures regularly, and only when the tires
are cold. Comply with the maintenance
recommendations of the tire manufacturer
in the vehicle document wallet.
Further information on the recommended tire
inflation pressure and on tire pressures for
specific driving conditions, see (Y page 326).
