Wheels and tires
Rotating wheels between axles
Changing run-flat tires
Different wear patterns can occur on the front
and rear axles depending on individual driving
conditions. The tires can be rotated between
the axles to achieve even wear. Further infor‐
mation is available from a dealer’s service cen‐
ter or another qualified service center or repair
shop. After rotating, check the tire pressure
and correct, if needed.
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
A dealer’s service center will be glad to answer
additional questions at any time.
Repairing a flat tire
Rotating the tires between the axes is not per‐
missible on vehicles with different tire sizes or
rim sizes on the front and rear axles.
Safety measures
▷
Park the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.
▷
▷
Switch on the hazard warning system.
Storage
Secure the vehicle against rolling away by
setting the parking brake.
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with
as little exposure to light as possible.
▷
▷
Turn the steering wheel until the front
wheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.
Always protect tires against all contact with oil,
grease and fuels.
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres‐
sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.
Have all vehicle occupants get out of the
vehicle and ensure that they remain out‐
side the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.
Run-flat tires
▷
If necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
Label
Mobility System
Concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage
can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the
inside.
RSC label on the tire sidewall.
The compressor can be used to check the tire
inflation pressure.
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup‐
porting, to a limited degree, and possibly spe‐
cial rims.
General information
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to
remain drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a tire inflation pressure loss.
▷
Follow the instructions on using the Mobi‐
lity System found on the compressor and
sealant container.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
