Tire inflation pressure
A table (see fuel filler flap) lists the tire inflation
pressures specified for Mercedes-Benz recommended
tires as well as for the varying operating conditions.
Important!
Tire pressure changes by approx. 1.5 psi (0.1 bar) per
18
°F (10°C) of air temperature change. Keep this in
mind when checking tire pressure inside a garage –
especially in the winter.
Example:
If garage temperature = approx. +68 °F (+20°C) and
ambient temperature = approx. +32 °F (0°C) then the
adjusted air pressure = specified air pressure +3 psi
(+0.2 bar).
Warning!
CLK 320 with Sport Package:
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of the road wheels. As a result, the
vehicle handling characteristics change when
driving with a spare wheel mounted.
CLK 430:
The dimensions of the spare wheel are different
from those of the road wheels for the rear axle. As a
result, the vehicle handling characteristics change
when driving with a spare wheel mounted on the
rear axle.
The spare wheel should only be used temporarily,
and replaced with a regular road wheel as quick as
possible.
When using the spare wheel, do not exceed vehicle
speed of 50 mph (80 km/h).
