Snow chains
Fine-link snow chains The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends
use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types of
fine-link snow chains have been tested by the
manufacturer of the vehicle and recommended
as road-safe and suitable.
Information regarding suitable snow chains is
available from a dealer’s service center or an‐
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Use
Use only in pairs on the rear wheels, equipped
with the tires of the following size:▷245/50 R 18.▷245/45 R 19.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instruc‐
tions.
Make sure that the snow chains are always
sufficiently tight. Retighten as needed accord‐
ing to the chain manufacturer's instructions.
Do not initialize the Flat Tire Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
Do not initialize the Tire Pressure Monitor after
mounting snow chains, as doing so may result
in incorrect readings.
When driving with snow chains, briefly activate
Dynamic Traction Control if needed.
Maximum speed with snow chains Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/hwhen using snow chains.
Rear wheel steering during operation with snow chains
General information
In order to guarantee free running of the
wheels when operating with snow chains, the
rear wheel steering of the integral active steer‐
ing must be switched off when snow chains
are mounted. For this, it is possible to confirm
via iDrive that snow chains are mounted.
Information WARNING
When rear wheel steering is switched on
and snow chains are mounted, there can be
contact between snow chains and the chassis.
There is risk of accidents or risk of property
damage. With mounted snow chains, switch
off the rear wheel steering.◀
Switching off rear wheel steering With the setting that snow chains are
mounted, the rear wheel steering is switched
off.
About iDrive:1."My Vehicle"2."Vehicle settings"3."Tire chains"4."Tire chains installed"
Starting with the permissible maximum speed
with snow chains of 30 mph/50 km/h the rear
wheel steering will be switched on automati‐
cally.
Tire Pressure Monitor TPM
The concept
The system monitors tire inflation pressure in
the four mounted tires. The system warns you
if there is a loss of pressure in one or more
tires. For this purpose, sensors in the tire
valves measure the tire inflation pressure and
tire temperature.
Information
With use of the system observe further infor‐
mation found under Tire inflation pressure, re‐
fer to page 254.
