Warning!
Your vehicle is equipped with a tire in-
flation pressure monitor, there are
electronic components built into the
wheel.
Do not use mounting tools in the area
of the valve as they could damage the
electronic components.
To prevent damage or incorrect instal-
lation, have the tires changed at an au-
thorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
G
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. Wheels could become
loose if not tightened with a torque of
110 lb-ft (150 Nm).
Rotate front and rear wheels only if they are
of the same size.
Use only genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel
bolts specified for your vehicle's rims.
On vehicles with the same wheel size all
around, wheels can be rotated every 3000
to 6000 miles (5000 to 10000 km), or
sooner if necessary, according to the de-
gree of tire wear. The same direction of tire
rotation must be retained.
For information on wheel change, see the
“Practical hints” section (୴ page 344) and
୴ page 361).
(
Rotate the wheels before the characteris-
tic tire wear pattern becomes visible
(shoulder wear on front wheels and tread
center wear on rear wheels).
Thoroughly clean the inner side of the
wheels after each rotation. Check and en-
sure proper tire inflation pressure. If nec-
essary, activate the tire inflation pressure
monitor.
