Snow chains
G
WARNING
If snow chains are installed to the front
wheels, they may drag against the vehicle
body or chassis components. This could
cause damage to the vehicle or the tires.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
never install snow chains to the front
R
wheels
always install snow chains in pairs to the
R
rear wheels.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that
have been specially approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are of a corresponding
standard of quality. For more information,
please contact a qualified specialist workshop.
If you intend to mount snow chains, please
bear the following points in mind:
Snow chains may not be mounted on all
R
wheel/tire combinations. Permissible
wheel-tire combinations (
Only use snow chains when driving on roads
R
completely covered by snow. Remove the
snow chains as soon as possible when you
come to a road that is not snow-covered.
Local regulations may restrict the use of
R
snow chains. Observe the appropriate regu-
lations if you wish to mount snow chains.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
R
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
You may wish to deactivate ESP
away with snow chains installed (
You can thereby allow the wheels to spin in a
controlled manner, achieving an increased
driving force (cutting action).

WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
the tires may burst, especially as the load
R
and vehicle speed increase.
the tires may wear excessively and/or
R
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
the driving characteristics, as well as
R
steering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires
including the spare wheel:
monthly, at least
R
if the load changes
R
before beginning a long journey
R
under different operating conditions, e.g.
R
off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
The data on the Tire and Loading Information
placard and tire pressure table shown here are
examples. Tire pressure specifications are
vehicle-specific and may deviate from the data
shown here. The tire pressure specifications
that are valid for your vehicle can be found on
the Tire and Loading Information placard and
tire pressure table on the vehicle.
General notes
The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factory can be found on the
labels described here.
