Operation
Tires and wheels
Tire rotation can be performed on vehi-
cles with tires of the same dimension all
around. If your vehicle is equipped with
tires of the same dimension all around,
tires can be rotated, observing a front-
to-rear rotation pattern that will main-
tain the intended rotation (spinning) di-
rection of the tire (
컄 page 315).
In some cases, such as when your vehicle
is equipped with mixed-size tires (differ-
ent tire dimension front vs. rear), tire ro-
tation is not possible.
If applicable to your vehicle’s tire config-
uration, tires can be rotated according to
the tire manufacturer’s recommended
intervals in the tire manufacturer’s
warranty pamphlet located in your
vehicle literature portfolio. If none is
available, tires should be rotated every
3000 to 6000 miles (5000 to 10000 km),
or sooner if necessary, according to the
degree of tire wear. The same rotation
(spinning) direction must be maintained
(
컄 page 315).
Rotate tires before the characteristic tire
wear pattern becomes visible (shoulder
wear on front tires and tread center
wear on rear tires).
Thoroughly clean the mounting face of
wheels and brake disks, i.e. the inner side
of the wheels/tires, during each rotation.
Check for and ensure proper tire infla-
tion pressure, activating the tire inflation
pressure monitor if necessary.
! Your vehicle is equipped with a tire infla-
tion pressure monitor. Electronic components
are built into the wheel.
Do not use mounting tools in the area of the
valve as they could damage the electronic
components.
To prevent damage or incorrect installation,
have the tires changed at an authorized
Maybach Studio.
For information on wheel change, see
the “Practical hints” section (
컄 page 400)
and (컄 page 413).
Rotating tires
Warning! G
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the
tires are of the same dimension.
If your vehicle is equipped with mixed-size
tires (different tire dimensions front vs.
rear), tire rotation is not possible.
Warning! G
Have the tightening torque checked after
changing a wheel. Wheels could become
loose if not tightened with a torque of
110 lb-ft (150 Nm).
Only use Genuine Maybach wheel bolts
specified for your vehicle’s rims.
