Mercedes Benz 2004 c 240 User Manual

왔

See your authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center for information on tested and 
recommended rims and tires for summer 
and winter operation. They can also offer 
advice concerning tire service and 
purchase.

Retreaded tires are not tested or recom-
mended by Mercedes-Benz, since previous 
damage cannot always be recognized on 
retreads. Mercedes-Benz can therefore 
not assure the operating safety of the 
vehicle when such tires are used.

See your authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center for information on tested and 
recommended rims and tires for summer 
and winter operation.

앫

Only use sets of tires and rims of the 
same type and make.

앫

Tires must be of the correct size for the 
rim.

앫

Break in new tires for approximately 
60 miles (100 km) at moderate 
speeds.

앫

Regularly check the tires and rims for 
damage. Dented or bent rims can 
cause tire pressure loss and damage to 
the tire beads.

앫

If vehicle is heavily loaded, check tire 
pressure and correct as required.

앫

Do not allow your tires to wear down 
too far. Adhesion properties on wet 
roads are sharply reduced at tread 
depths under

1

/

8

in (3 mm).

앫

When replacing individual tires, you 
should mount new tires on the front 
wheels first (on vehicles with 
same-sized wheels all around).

G

Replace rims or tires with the same designa-
tion, manufacturer and type as shown on the 
original part. See your authorized 
Mercedes-Benz Center for further informa-
tion. If incorrectly sized rims and tires are 
mounted:

앫

The wheel brakes or suspension 
components can be damaged.

앫

The correct operating clearance of the 
wheels and the tires are no longer 
guaranteed.

G

Worn, old tires can cause accidents. If the 
tire tread is badly worn, or if the tires have 
sustained damage, replace them.

When replacing rims, only use genuine 
Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts specified for the 
particular rim type. Failure to do so can 
result in the bolts loosening and possibly an 
accident.
