the rear wheels, you can damage vehicle body
or suspension components.
On 4MATIC vehicles, only fit snow chains
#
on the front wheels.
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 vehi-

Notes on track tyres
Track tyres are sports tyres, which can be distin-
guished by their special tyre tread and tyre com-
pound. These characteristics combine to provide
significantly higher levels of grip on a dry road sur-
face than conventional tyres.
& WARNING Risk of accident due to the tyre
tread depth diminishing more quickly
Due to the tyre compound, the tyre tread
depth can diminish more quickly on these
tyres than on customary tyres.

Driving at low temperatures of 10°C and
below, rain and bodies of water can lead to
aquaplaning and, as a result, loss of control of
the vehicle.
When the roads are wet and/or in low
#
temperatures, replace tyres with suitable
tyres in good time.
In the case of sudden rain, drive
#
extremely carefully and slowly, especially
when the roads are wet or in low temper-
atures.
