Notes on snow chains

& WARNING Risk of accident due to incor‐
rect snow chain fitting
If you fit snow chains to the rear wheels, the
snow chains may grind against the vehicle
body or chassis components.
This could cause damage to the vehicle or
the tyres.
Never fit snow chains to the rear
#
wheels.
Always fit snow chains to the front
#
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.
* NOTE Damage to the wheel trim from fit‐
ted snow chains
If snow chains are fitted to steel wheels, the
wheel trims can be damaged.
Remove the wheel trims of steel wheels
#
before fitting snow chains.
Observe the following notes when using snow
chains:
Snow chains are only permissible for certain
R
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Centre.
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 fitted, the maximum per‐
R
missible speed is 50 km/h.

Tyre pressure

Notes on tyre pressure
& WARNING Risk of accident due to insuf‐
ficient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinflated or overinflated tyres pose the
following risks:
The tyres may burst, especially as the
R
load and vehicle speed increase.
The tyres may wear excessively and/or
R
unevenly, which may greatly impair tyre
traction.
The driving characteristics, as well as
R
steering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
