Remove mounting patch carefully with your fingers. Do not use razor blades or other sharp objects and do not scratch with fingernails.

Warning! GRemoval of the patch will result in irrepara-ble damage to the patch and any la-bels/stickers affixed to it. State motor vehicle regulations require that after remov-al, inspection, registration and any other of-ficial stickers unique to a vehicle cannot be in a condition to be transferred to and used on another vehicle. The mounting patch was designed to comply with such regulations. Both patch and any labels/stickers affixed to it are irreparably damaged when re-moved.

Only tires and wheel rims approved by Mercedes-Benz may be mounted on this ve-hicle. Tires and wheels which have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz may be too large or could deform under load. This could cause them to come into contact with the bodywork and axle components and dam-age the tire or the vehicle.

Check tire pressures regularly for safety rea-sons. Have the tires replaced when the tire tread depth reaches 3 mm.

iCheck the air pressure in the spare wheel on a regular basis, as the tire in-flation pressure monitor does not mon-itor the spare wheel when it is in the trunk.

Check tire pressures at regular inter-vals and correct them if necessary.

Warning! GIn the event of emergency mode tire opera-tion, vehicle handling capability is dimin-ished. For example, the vehicle will not corner or brake as effectively, or accelerate as rapidly as under normal operating condi-tions. You should therefore drive defensively when driving with tires in emergency run-ning mode.

In the event of emergency running mode, do not exceed a maximum speed of 50 mph (80 km/h) and/or a running distance of 12 miles (approx. 20 km).

After driving in the emergency running mode, the affected tire(s) and wheel rim(s) must be replaced by a Mercedes-Benz Cen-ter.
