Traveling Abroad; Winter Driving - Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.3 1993 Owner's Manual

Traveling Abroad

Abroad, there is a widely-spread
Mercedes-Benz service network at
your disposal. If you plan to travel
into areas which-are not listed in
the index of your dealer directory,
you should request pertinent
information from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.

Winter Driving

Have your car winterized at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
before the onset of winter.
.
Change the engine oil if the
engine contains an oil which is
not approved for winter opera-
tion. For viscosity (SAE class)
and filling quantity, see fuels,
Coo/ants, Lubricants etc. in
Index.
Check engine coolant anticor-
rosion/antifreeze concentration.
Additive for the windshield
washer and headlamp cleaning
systems: Add MB Concentrate
" S" to the premixed windshield
washer solvent/antifreeze
which is formulated for below
freezing temperatures (see
Index).
Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged
battery ensures that the engine
can always be started, even at
low ambient temperatures.
Tires: We recommend M + S
radial-ply tires on all four
wheels for the winter season.
Observe permissible maximum
speed for M + S radial-ply tires
and the legal speed limit.
Note:
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the automatic
locking differential or the accelera-
tion slip control can only be
achieved with M + S radial-ply tires
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
