Snow chains

Snow chains should only be driven on
snow-covered roads at speeds not to ex-
ceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove chains
as soon as possible when driving on roads
without snow.

When driving with snow chains, you
may wish to deactivate the ESP
( page 80) before setting the vehicle
in motion. This will improve the vehi-
cle's traction.
Please observe the following guidelines
when using snow chains:
Using snow chains is not permissible
with all wheel/tire combinations.
Snow chains should only be used on
the rear wheels. Follow the manufac-
turer's mounting instructions.
