Operation Tires and wheels If you wish to cancel activation: Press the ç button. If the following message appears in the multifunction display: Tire pressure monitoring Reactivate Rotating wheels ! Warning! G or Tire pressure monitoring Check tires! Rotate front and rear wheels only if they are of the same size. If your vehicle is equipped with a tire inflation pressure monitor*, electronic components are located on the wheel. To prevent damage or incorrect installation, have the tires changed at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. Check the tire inflation pressures and correct them if necessary. Restart the activation of the tire inflation pressure monitor. 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 degree of tire wear. The same direction of tire rotation must be retained. Rotate the wheels before the characteristic 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 ensure proper tire inflation pressure. Warning! G Have the tightening torque checked after changing a wheel. Wheels could become loose if not tightened with a torque of 96 ft.lb. (130 Nm). Use only genuine Mercedes-Benz wheel bolts specified for your vehicle's rims. 272
