General notes

!

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz rec-

ommends that you only use tires and

wheels which have been approved by

Mercedes-Benz specifically for your vehi-

cle.
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 featuring run-flat characteristics)

R

MO1 = Mercedes-Benz Original (only cer-

tain AMG tires)

Mercedes-Benz Original Extended tires

may only be used on wheels that have been

specifically approved by Mercedes-Benz.
Only use tires, wheels or accessories

tested and approved by Mercedes-Benz.

Certain characteristics, e.g. handling, vehi-

cle noise emissions or fuel consumption,

may otherwise be adversely affected. In

addition, when driving with a load, tire

dimension 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.
Mercedes-Benz accepts no liability for

damage resulting from the use of tires,

wheels or accessories other than those

tested and approved.
Information on tires, wheels and approved

combinations can be obtained from any

qualified specialist workshop.
