Mercedes-Benz service network at your
disposal. If you plan to travel into areas
which are not listed in the index of

Refer to "Rims - Tires" in section
Technical Data (see Index).
•
Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged
battery ensures that the engine
can be started, even at low
ambient temperatures.
Winter Driving
Use only snow chains that are tested
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
will be glad to advise you on this
subject.
Have your car winterized at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
before the onset of winter.

•
Change the engine oil if the
engine contains an oil which
is not approved for winter
operation. For viscosity
(SAE/CCMC class) and filling
quantity, see Capacities: Fuels,
Coolants, Lubricants etc. in
Index.
• Tires: We recommend M + S
radial-ply tires on all four
wheels for the winter season.
Observe permissible maximum
speed for M + S radial-ply tires
and the legal speed limit.
Chains should only be used on the rear
wheels. Follow the manufacturer's
mounting instructions.
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow covered roads at speeds not to
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove
chains as soon as possible when driving
on roads without snow.
Note:
Check engine coolant
anticorrosion/antifreeze
concentration.
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the electronic stability
program is only achieved with M + S
radial-ply tires and/or snow chains
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
For tips on driving on slippery winter
roads, refer to Index.
When driving with snow chains, press
the ASR control switch or the ESP
control switch, refer to Index.
