WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct ins tallation of snow chains
Ve hicles with rear-wheel drive: ifyo u ha ve
ins talled snow chains tothe front wheels,
th ey may drag against theve hicle body or
ch assis components.
This could cause damage totheve hicle or the
tires. #
Never ins tall snow chains on the front
wheels. #
Only ins tall snow chains on there ar
wheels in pairs. #
Vehicles with twin tires: installthe
snow chains tothe outer wheels. &
WARNING Risk of accident due to
unsuitable sn ow chains
Ve hicles with all-wheel drive do not ha vesuf‐
fi cient clea rance on the front axle for com‐
mercial lyavailable sn ow chains.
When you ins tall commercially available sn ow
ch ains, the snow chains may come loose and
damage chassis components or brake hoses. #

Remo vethe wheel trims of steel wheels
before mounting snow chains. Obse

ch ains:
R Snow ch ains are only permissible for cer tain
wheel/tire combinations. You can obtain
information on them at a qualified specialist
wo rkshop.
R For saf etyre asons, only use sn owchains that
ha ve been specifically appr ovedfo ryo ur vehi‐
cle byMercedes-Benz, or snow chains with
th e same quality standard.
R The sn owchains must be retightened af ter
driving appr oximately 0.6 miles (1 km). This is
th e only wayto ensure the snow chains are
optimally seated with clearance toadjacent
components.
R Vehicles with all-wheel drive: install snow

WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tire pressure
Underinfla ted or overinfla ted tires pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tires may bur st, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R The tires may wearexcessively and/or
une venly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tire
pressure and check the tire pressure of
all tires including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
R at least once a month
R when the load changes
R before embarking on a lon ger journey
R if operating conditions change, e.g. off-
ro ad driving #
Adjust the tire pressure as necessar y.Driving wi
thtire pressure that is too high or too
low can:
R Shor tenth e service life of the tires. R
Cause increased tire damage.
R Adversely af fect handling characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due to hydroplaning. &
WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressu re
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics. #
Avoid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Ti
re pressure which is too low can cause:
R Tire malfunctions as a result of overheating
R Impaired handling characteristics
R Irre gular wear
R Increased fuel consum ption &
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can bur st
because they are damaged more easily by
highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics. #
Avoid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel. Excessively high tire pressure can
result in:
R Increased braking dis tance

DANG ER Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct tire pressure
Every tire, including the spare (if pr ovided),
should be checked when cold at least once a
month and inflated tothe pressure recom‐
mended bytheve hicle manufacturer (see Tire
and Loading In form ation placard on the B-pil‐
lar on the driver ’sside or the tire pressure
label on the inside of the fuel filler flap of your
ve hicle). If your vehicle has tires of a dif fere nt
size than the size indicated on theTire and
Loading In form ation placard or the tire pres‐
sure table, you need todeterm ine the proper
tire pressure forth ose tires.
As an added saf etyfe ature, your vehicle has
been equipped with a tire pressure monitor‐ ing sy
stem (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire
pressure indicator lamp when one or more of
yo ur tires are significantly unde rinfla ted.
Ac cording ly, if the low tire pressure indicator
lamp lights up, you should stop and check
yo ur tires as soon as possible, and inflate
th em tothe proper pressure. Driving on a sig‐
nificant lyunde rinfla ted tire causes the tire to
ove rheat and can lead totire failure. Underin‐
fl ation also inc reases fuel consum ption and
re duces tire tread life, and may af fect the
ve hicle's handling and braking ability. Please
no te that the TPMS is not a substitute for
proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's
re sponsibility tomaintain cor rect tire pres‐
sure, even if underinflation has not reached
th e le velto trig ger illumination of the TPMS
low tire pressure indicator lamp.
Yo ur vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator toindicate when
th e sy stem is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
th e low tire pressure indicator lamp. When
th e sy stem de tects a malfunction, the indica‐
to r lamp will flash for appro ximately a minute
and then remain continuously illumina ted.
This sequence will continue upon subsequent
ve hicle start-ups as long as the malfunction
ex ists.
When the malfunction indicator is illuminated,
th e sy stem may not be able todetect or sig‐
nal low tire pressu reas intended. TPMS mal‐
functions may occur for a variet y of reasons,
including the ins tallation of incompatible 238

Alw aysch eck the TPMS malfunction warning
lamp af terre placing one or more tires or

re placement or alternate tires and wheels

means of a tire pressure sensor.
New tire pressure sensors, e.g. in winter tires,
are automatically taught-in thefirs t time they are
