Winter Driving
•
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.
Remove chains as soon as possible
when driving on roads without snow.
Have your car winterized at your
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
before the onset of winter.
For tips on driving on slippery
winter roads, refer to Index.
•
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 "Fuels, Coolants,
Lubricants, etc." see Index.
Note:
Vehicles with Acceleration Slip
Regulation (ASR) or Electronic
Stability Program (ESP):
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the electronic stability
program, of the acceleration slip
regulation or of the electronic traction
system can only be achieved with M +
S radial-ply tires and/or snow chains
recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
When driving with snow chains, press
the ASR control switch or the ESP
control switch, refer to Index.

formulated for below freezing
temperatures (see Index).
Use only snow chains that are tested
and recommended by Mercedes-Benz.
Your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer

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

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.
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow covered roads at speeds not to
exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
