Mercedes Benz 2004 c 320 Manual De Usuario

The service life of a tire is dependent upon 
varying factors including but not limited to:

앫

Driving style

앫

Tire pressure

앫

Distance driven

Unidirectional tires offer added advan-
tages, such as better hydroplaning perfor-
mance. To benefit, however, you must 
make sure the tires rotate in the direction 
specified.

An arrow on the sidewall indicates the 
intended direction of tire rotation.

Correct the tire pressure only when tires 
are cold.

Regularly check your tire pressure at 
intervals of no more than 14 days. 

If the tires are warm you should only 
correct the tire pressure if it is too low for 
current operating conditions.

A table on the fuel filler flap lists the 
specified tire inflation pressures for warm 
and cold tires as well as for various 
operating conditions.

G

Tires and spare tire should be replaced after 
six years, regardless of the remaining tread.

!

Keep unmounted tires in a cool, dry 
place with as little exposure to light as 
possible. Protect tires from contact 
with oil, grease and gasoline.

G

If the tire pressure drops repeatedly:

앫

Check the tires for punctures from 
foreign objects.

앫

Check to see whether air is leaking from 
the valves or from around the rim.

i

The pressures listed for light loads are 
minimum values offering high driving 
comfort.

Increased inflation pressures listed for 
heavier loads may also be used for light 
loads. These higher pressures produce 
favorable handling characteristics. The 
ride of the vehicle, however, will be 
somewhat harder. Never exceed the 
max. values or inflate tires below the 
min. values listed in the fuel filler flap.
