Break in new tires at moderate speeds for the

first 60 miles (100 km). They only reach their

full performance after this distance.

Do not drive with tires which have too little

tread depth, as this significantly reduces the

traction on wet roads (hydroplaning).

Replace the tires after six years at the latest,

regardless of wear.

MOExtended tires (tires with run-flat

properties)

With MOExtended tires (tires with run flat char-

acteristics), you can continue to drive your vehi-

cle even if there is a total loss of pressure in one

or more tires.

MOExtended tires may only be used in conjunc-

tion with an active tire pressure loss warning

system or with an active tire pressure monitor

and on wheels specifically tested by Mercedes-

Benz.

Notes on driving with MOExtended tires with a

flat tire (

Y page 368).

Vehicles equipped with MOExtended tires are

not equipped with a TIREFIT kit at the factory. It

is therefore recommended that you additionally

equip your vehicle with a TIREFIT kit if you mount

tires that do not feature run-flat properties, e.g.

winter tires. A TIREFIT kit can be obtained from

a qualified specialist workshop.

Winter operation

General notes

Have your vehicle winterproofed at a qualified

specialist workshop at the onset of winter.

Observe the notes in the "Changing a wheel"

section (

Y page 405).

Driving with summer tires

At temperatures below 45 ‡ (+7 †), summer

tires lose elasticity and therefore traction and

braking power. Change the tires on your vehicle

to M+S tires. Using summer tires at very cold

temperatures could cause cracks to form,

thereby damaging the tires permanently.

Mercedes-Benz cannot accept responsibility for

this type of damage.

WARNING

Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pres-

sure loss. As a result, you could lose control of

your vehicle. There is a risk of accident.

Check the tires regularly for signs of damage

and replace any damaged tires immediately.

M+S tires

WARNING

M+S tires with a tire tread depth of less than

ã in (4 mm) are not suitable for use in winter

and do not provide sufficient traction. There is

a risk of an accident.

M+S tires with a tread depth of less than ã in

(4 mm) must be replaced immediately.

At temperatures below 45 ‡(+7 †), use winter

tires or all-season tires. Both types of tire are

identified by the M+S marking.

Only winter tires bearing the i snowflake

symbol in addition to the M+S marking provide

the best possible grip in wintry road conditions.

Only these tires will allow driving safety systems

such as ABS and ESP

to function optimally in

winter. These tires have been developed specif-

ically for driving in snow.

Use M+S tires of the same make and tread on all

wheels to maintain safe handling characteris-

tics.

Always observe the maximum permissible

speed specified for the M+S tires you have

mounted.

When you have mounted M+S tires:

Check the tire pressures (Y page 390).

Restart the tire pressure monitor

(

Y page 392).

Snow chains

WARNING

If snow chains are installed to the front

wheels, they may drag against the vehicle

body or chassis components. This could

cause damage to the vehicle or the tires.

There is a risk of an accident.
