Traveling Abroad
• Additive for the windshield washer
and headlamp cleaning system: Add
MB Concentrate "S" to a premixed
windshield washer solvent/
antifreeze which is formulated for
below freezing temperatures (see

Snow Chains
Abroad, there is a widely-spread
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.
Mercedes-Benz service network at your
disposal. If you plan to travel into areas
which are not listed in the index of
your dealer directory, you should
request pertinent information from your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.
• Test battery: Battery capacity drops
with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged battery
ensures that the engine can always
be started, even at low ambient
temperatures.
Chains should only be used on the rear
wheels. Follow the manufacturer's
mounting instructions.
Winter Driving
Have your car winterized at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
before the onset of winter.
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.
•
Tires: We recommend M + S radial
tires on all four wheels for the
winter season. Observe permissible
maximum speed for M + S radial
tires and the legal speed limit.
•
•
Change the engine oil if the
engine contains an oil which is
not approved for winter operation.
For viscosity (SAE class) and
filling quantity, see Capacities:
Fuels, Coolants, Lubricants etc. in
Index.
For tips on driving on slippery winter
roads, refer to Index.
Note:
When driving with snow chains,
press the ASR control switch or the
ESP control switch, refer to Index.
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the electronic stability
program can only be achieved with
M+S radial-ply tires and/or snow chains
recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Snow
chains maximize performance.
Check engine coolant anticorrosion/
antifreeze concentration.
