Rotating wheels
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.
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. It is 
necessary to activate the tire inflation 
pressure monitor*.
Warning!
G
Rotate front and rear wheels only if they are 
of the same size.
!
If 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.
Warning!
G
Have the tightening torque checked after 
changing a wheel. Wheels could become 
loose if not tightened with a torque of 
110 ft.lb. (150 Nm).
Use only genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel 
bolts specified for your vehicle's rims.
