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 components of the
vehicle body or chassis due to fitted
snow chains
If you fit snow chains to the front wheels of
4MATIC vehicles, you may damage compo‐
nents of the vehicle body or chassis.
Only fit snow chains to the rear wheels
#
of 4MATIC vehicles.
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 AIRMATIC or E-ACTIVE
R
BODY CONTROL: If snow chains are instal‐
led, only drive at raised vehicle level .

You can deactivate ESP ® to pull away
( page 186). This allows the wheels to
/
spin, achieving an increased driving force.

Tire pressure

Notes on tire pressure
& WARNING Risk of accident due to insuf‐
ficient or excessive tire pressure
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
The tires may burst, especially as the
R
load 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.
Comply with the recommended tire
#
pressure and check the tire pressure of
all tires including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
at least once a month
R
when the load changes
