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.
! On some tire sizes there is not enough
space for snow chains. To avoid damage to
the vehicle or tires, observe the "Wheel and
tire combinations" section under "Tires and
wheels".
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz
recommends 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.
You may not attach snow chains to all
R
wheel-tire combination, see the
information under "Wheels and tires" in the
"Technical data" section.
Only use snow chains when driving on
R
roads 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
regulations if you wish to mount snow
chains.
Do not exceed the maximum permissible
R
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
i
You can deactivate ESP
when pulling 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 specifications on the sample Tire and
Loading Information placard and tire
pressure tables 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
