Important safety notes
Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center if you require information on approved and recommended tires and wheels for summer and winter operation. Advice on purchasing and caring for tires is also available there.
 WARNING
 WARNING
Replace rims or tires with the same 
designation, manufacturer and type as shown 
on the original part. For further information 
contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
If incorrectly sized rims and tires are 
mounted, the wheel brakes or suspension 
components can be damaged. Also, the 
operating clearance of the wheels and the 
tires may no longer be correct.
 WARNING
 WARNING
Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the tire 
tread is worn to minimum tread depth, or if 
the tires have sustained damage, replace 
them.
When replacing rims, only use genuine 
Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts specified for the 
particular rim type. Failure to do so can result 
in the bolts loosening and possibly an 
accident.
Retreaded tires are not tested or 
recommended by Mercedes-Benz, since 
previous damage cannot always be 
recognized on retreads. The operating safety 
of the vehicle cannot be assured when such 
tires are used.
 WARNING
 WARNING
If you feel a sudden significant vibration or 
ride disturbance, or you suspect that possible 
damage to your vehicle has occurred, you 
should turn on the hazard warning flashers, 
carefully slow down, and drive with caution to 
an area which is a safe distance from the road.
Inspect the tires and the vehicle underbody 
for possible damage. If the vehicle appears 
unsafe, have the vehicle towed to the nearest 
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or tire 
dealer for repairs.
 WARNING
 WARNING
Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat tire affects 
the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You 
might lose control of the vehicle. Continued 
driving with a flat tire or driving at high speed 
with a flat tire will cause excessive heat buildup 
and possibly a fire.
 Further information about Tires and 
wheels can be obtained from any 
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
