General notes

!

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-

ommends that you only use tyres and
wheels which have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-
cle.

These are specially adapted to the control
systems, such as ABS or ESP

®

and are

marked as follows:

R

MO = Mercedes-Benz Original

R

MOE = Mercedes-Benz Original Extended
(tyres featuring run-flat characteristics)

R

MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-
tain AMG tyres)

Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tyres
may only be used on wheels that have been
specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tyres, wheels or accessories tes-
ted and approved by Mercedes-Benz. Cer-
tain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehicle
noise emissions or fuel consumption, may
otherwise be adversely affected. In addi-
tion, when driving with a load, tyre dimen-
sion variations could cause the tyres to
come into contact with the bodywork and
axle components. This could result in dam-
age to the tyres or the vehicle.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for
damage resulting from the use of tyres,
wheels or accessories other than those tes-
ted and approved.
Further information about wheels, tyres
and approved combinations can be
obtained from any qualified specialist
workshop.

!

Retreaded tyres are neither tested nor

recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since
previous damage cannot always be detec-
ted on retreaded tyres. As a result,
Mercedes-Benz cannot guarantee vehicle
safety if retreaded tyres are fitted. Do not
fit used tyres if you have no information
about their previous usage.

!

Large wheels: the lower the section width

for a certain wheel size, the lower the ride
comfort is on poor road surfaces. Roll com-
fort and suspension comfort are reduced
and the risk of damage to the wheels and
tyres as a result of driving over obstacles
increases.
