Page 227 replacing one or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to function properly. If a condition causing the TPMS to malfunction develops, it may take up to 10 minutes for the system to signal a malfunction using the TPMS telltale flashing and illumination sequence.
Page 228: Tire Pressures
Tires and wheels Example illustration The respective tire is indicated by a red rectangle. Restarting Advanced TPMS Warning! It is the driver’s responsibility to set the tire inflation pressure to the recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Underinflated tires affect the ability to steer or brake the vehicle. You might lose control over the vehicle.
Page 229: Tire And Loading Information Placard
Maximum tire inflation pressure Warning! Never exceed the maximum tire inflation pressure. Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overinflate tires.

Tires and wheels Tire care and maintenance Warning! Regularly check the tires for damage. Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. 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.
Page 235: Cleaning
Storing tires ! Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible. Protect tires from contact with oil, grease and fuels. Cleaning tires ! Never use a round nozzle to power wash tires. The intense jet of water can result in damage to the tire.
Page 236: Rotation
Exercise appropriate caution. ! Avoid spinning of a drive wheel. This may cause serious damage to the drivetrain which is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. Temperature Warning! The temperature grade for this tire is established for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.
Page 237: Tire Labeling
Thoroughly clean the mounting face of wheels and brake disks, i.e. the inner side of the wheels/tires, during each rotation. Check for and ensure proper tire inflation pressure.
