WARNING
If you have fitted snow chains to the front
wheels, they may scrape against the vehicle
body or chassis components. This could
cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
never fit snow chains on the front wheels
R
fit snow chains to the rear wheels in pairs.
R
! Vehicles with steel wheels: if you wish
to fit snow chains to steel wheels, make
sure that you remove the respective
wheels' hubcaps first. The hubcaps may
otherwise be damaged.
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 that are of a corre-
sponding standard of quality.

If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:
snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel-
R
tyre combinations. Permissible wheel-tyre
combinations ( Y page 419).
only use snow chains when the road sur-
R
face is completely snow-covered. Remove
the snow chains as soon as possible when
you come to a road that is not snow-cov-
ered.
local regulations may restrict the use of
R
snow chains. Observe the appropriate reg-
ulations if you wish to fit snow chains.
do not exceed the maximum permissible
R
speed of 50 km/h.
on vehicles with AIRMATIC, you must drive
R
at raised vehicle level if snow chains have
Y
been fitted ( page 224).

You may wish to deactivate ESP
pulling away with snow chains fitted
( Y page 78). This way you can allow the
wheels to spin in a controlled manner, ach-
ieving an increased driving force (cutting
action).
