Remo vethe wheel trims of steel wheels
before fitting snow chains. Obse
rveth efo llowing no tes when using snow
ch ains:
R Snow ch ains are on ly permissible for cer tain
wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain
information about this from a Mercedes-Benz
Service Cent re.
R For saf etyre asons, only use snow chainsthat
ha ve been specifically appr ovedfo ryo ur

with the same quality standard. R
If sn ow ch ains are fitted, the maximum per‐
missible speed is 50 km/h.
R Vehicles with le vel control: if snowchains
are fitted, only drive at raised vehicle le vel.
% You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(/ page 141).
% You can deactivate ESP ®
to pull away
( / page 135). This allo ws the wheels to
spin, achieving an increased driving forc e. Ty

WARNING Risk of accident due toinsuf‐
fi cient or excessive tyre pressure
Underinflate d oroverinfla ted tyres pose the
fo llowing risks:
R The tyres may bur st, especially as the
load and vehicle speed increase. R
The tyres may wearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tyre
traction.
R The driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired. #
Comply with there commended tyre
pressure and check the tyre pressure of
all tyres 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 tyre pressure as necessar y. Ty
re pressure which is too high or too low can:
R Shor tenth e service life of the tyres.
R Cause increased tyre damage.
R Adversely af fect driving characteristics and
th us driving saf ety, e.g. due toaquaplaning. 322
