Page 268: Recommended Tire Pressures
Tire pressures Depending upon the weather and/or road surface (conditions), the tire traction varies widely. Do not use tires until they are excessively worn as the tire traction on wet road surfaces decreases significantly when the tread depth is less than in (3 mm).
Page 269: Notes
Mercedes-Benz is installed on the tire valve. Tire pressures that are too low have a negative effect on vehicle safety, which could lead you to cause an accident.

Further information can be found under "Towing a trailer"...
Page 280: Overview
Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards Trailer load/noseweight The trailer load/noseweight affects the gross weight of the vehicle. If a trailer is attached, the trailer load/noseweight is included in the load along with occupants and luggage. The trailer load/noseweight is usually approximately 8% of the gross weight of the trailer and its cargo.
Page 281: Temperature
You should pay special attention to road conditions when temperatures are around the freezing point. Mercedes-Benz recommends a minimum tire tread depth of 1/6 in (4 mm) for all four winter tires ( page 148) to maintain normal driving characteristics in winter.

Additives in gasoline One of the major problems in engine design is the creation of carbon deposits during the process of burning fuel. Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use fuel brands that have the additives which prevent the build up of carbon deposits.
Page 299: Fuel Additives
In areas where carbon deposits may be encountered due to lack of availability of gasoline which contains these additives, Mercedes-Benz recommends the use of additives approved for use in Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center or visit http://www.mbusa.com (USA only) to view a list of approved products.
