Mercedes-Benz 2012 A Class - Manual (Page 332)

! 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.
Overview of abbreviations used in the follow-
ing tyre tables:
R
BA: both axles
R
FA: front axle
R
RA: rear axle
You will find a table with recommended tyre
pressures for various operating conditions on
the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. For
further information on tyre pressure, see
(
Y page 321). Check tyre pressures regularly
and only when the tyres are cold.
Notes on the vehicle equipment – always fit
the vehicle:
R
with tyres of the same size on a given axle
(left/right)
R
with the same type of tyres at a given time
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres)
Exception: it is permissible to fit a different
type or make in the event of a flat tyre.
Observe the "MOExtended tyres (tyres with
run-flat characteristics)" section
(
Y page 300).
Vehicles with MOExtended tyres are not
equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It
is therefore recommended that you addition-
ally equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you
fit tyres that do not feature run-flat charac-
teristics, e.g. winter tyres. A TIREFIT kit can
be obtained from a qualified specialist work-
shop.
