Notes on snow chains

& WARNING Risk of accident due to incor‐
rect mounting of snow chains
If you have mounted snow chains to the front
wheels, the snow chains may drag against
the vehicle body or chassis components.
This could cause damage to the vehicle or
the tires.
Never mount snow chains on the front
#
wheels.
Only mount snow chains on the rear
#
wheels in pairs.
* NOTE Damage to the wheel trim from
mounted snow chains
If snow chains are mounted to steel wheels,
the wheel trims can be damaged.
Remove the wheel trims of steel wheels
#
before mounting snow chains.
Observe the following notes when using snow
chains:
Snow chains are only permissible for certain
R
wheel/tire combinations. You can obtain
information about this from an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
For safety reasons, only use snow chains that
R
have been specifically approved for your
vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or snow chains
with the same quality standard.
If snow chains are installed, the maximum
R
permissible speed is 30 mph (50 km/h).
Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: Do
R
not use Active Parking Assist when snow
chains are installed.
Vehicles with level control: If snow chains
R
are installed, only drive at raised vehicle
level.
