To avoid hazardous situations:
R never mount snowchains onthe rear
wheels
R only mount snowchains inpairs onthe

! On
some tiresizes there isnot enough
space forsnow chains. Toavoid damage to
the vehicle ortires, observe the"Wheel and
tire combin ations" sectionunder "Tiresand

For safety reasons, Mercedes- Benzrecom-
mends thatyouonly usesnow chains that
have been specially approved foryour vehicle
by Mercedes- Benz,or are ofacorr esponding
standard ofquality. Formore inform ation,
please contactaqualified specialist workshop.
If you inten dto mount snowchains, please
bear thefollowing pointsinmind:
R Sno wchains maynotbemount edon all

The tiretemperature andpressu reincrease
when thevehicle isin motion. Thisisdepend-

Therefore, youshoul donly correct tirepres-

The tires arecold:
R ifthe vehicle hasbeen parked withthetires
out ofdirect sunlightfor atlea stthree hours

R ifthe vehicle hasbeen driven lessthan
1 mile (1.6km)
The tiretemperature changesdependingon
the outsid etemperature ,the vehicle speed
and thetire load .If the tire temperature
changes by18 ‡(10 †), thetire pressu re
changes byappro ximately 10kPa (0.1 bar/
1.5 psi).Take thisinto account whenchecking
the pressu reofwarm tires.Onlycorrect the
