Warning!
Besides tire name (sales designation) and
manufacturer name, a number of markings
can be found on a tire.
In emergency mode, your vehicle’s driving
characteristics are diminished in such situa-
tions as:
ț

you notice knocking sounds
the vehicle starts to shake
smoke develops and you smell rubber
ESP is intervening continuously
you notice tears on the tire sidewalls
Following are some explanations for the
markings on your vehicle’s tires:

ț
driving around curves
while braking
while accelerating rapidly
After driving in emergency mode, you must
have the rims inspected by an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center to check if they are
suitable for further use. The failed tire must
be replaced in any case.
Therefore, your driving style must be adapt-
ed accordingly. Avoid abrupt steering and
driving maneuvers, as well as driving over
obstacles (road curbs, potholes, or off-road
areas). This is especially important if the ve-
hicle is heavily loaded.

The emergency driving distance that can be
achieved greatly depends on the demands
placed on the vehicle. Depending on speed,
load, driving maneuvers, road conditions,
outside temperature, etc., the distance can
be significantly shorter or, if the vehicle is
driven cautiously, somewhat longer.
When replacing individual or all tires on
the vehicle, make sure only tires
marked with “MOExtended” are mount-
ed in the size specified for your vehicle.
