If tire inflation pressure has fallen below

Park your vehicle safely away from the road-

way and contact the nearest authorized

Mercedes-Benz Center or Roadside

Assistance.

Have the damaged tire replaced.

Warning!

G

Follow recommend inflation pressures.

Do not overinflate tires. Overinflating tires

can result in sudden deflation (blowout)

because they are more likely to become

punctured or damaged by road debris,

potholes, etc.

Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires

wear unevenly, adversely affect handling

and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail

from being overheated.

Do not overload the tires by exceeding the

specified vehicle capacity weight (as indicat-

ed by the label on the pillar in the driver’s

door opening). Overloading the tires can

overheat them, possibly causing a blowout.
