Aquaplaning
We recommend M+S rated radial-ply tires for the winter
season for all four wheels to insure normal balanced
handling characteristics. On packed snow, they can
reduce your stopping distance as compared with
summer tires. Stopping distance, however, is still
considerably greater than when the road is not snow or
ice covered.
Depending on the depth of the water layer on the road,
aquaplaning may occur, even at low speeds and with
new tires. Reduce vehicle speed, avoid track grooves in
the road and apply brakes cautiously in the rain.
Tire traction
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or icy road is
always lower than on a dry road.
Tire speed rating
CL 500 and CL 600:
You should pay particular attention to the condition of
the road whenever the outside temperatures are close to
the freezing point.
Your vehicle is factory equipped with “H”-rated tires,
which have a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h).
Vehicles with Sport Package:
Your vehicle is factory equipped with “Y”-rated tires,
which have a speed rating of 188 mph (300 km/ h).
Warning!
If ice has formed on the road, tire traction will be
substantially reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake with extreme
caution.
An electronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from
exceeding a speed of 130 mph (210 km/h).
