Winter Driving Instructions
If the vehicle is parked after being
driven on salt treated roads, the braking
efficiency should be tested as soon as
possible after driving is resumed while
observing the safety rules in the
previous paragraph.
Deep Water
Caution!
The most important rule for slippery or
icy roads is to drive sensibly and to
avoid abrupt acceleration, braking and
steering action. Do not use the cruise
control system under such conditions.
Do not drive through flooded areas or
water of unknown depth.
Warning!
If you must drive through deep water,
drive slowly to prevent water from
entering the engine compartment or
being ingested by the air intake,
possibly causing damage to electrical
components or wiring, to engine or
transmission that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
When the vehicle is in danger of
skidding, declutch, or in case of
automatic transmission move selector
lever to position "N". Try to keep the
vehicle under control by corrective
steering action.
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow,
make sure that snow is kept clear of
the exhaust pipe and from around
the vehicle with engine running.
Otherwise, deadly carbon monoxide
(CO) gases may enter vehicle interior
resulting in unconsciousness and
death.
Road salts and chemicals can adversely
affect braking efficiency. Increased
pedal force may become necessary to
produce the normal brake effect. We
therefore recommend depressing the
brake pedal repeatedly when traveling
on salt-strewn roads at length. This can
bring road salt impaired braking
efficiency back to normal. A
Passenger Compartment
Warning!
To assure sufficient fresh air
ventilation, open a window slightly
on the side of the car that is out of
the wind.
Always fasten items being carried as
securely as possible.
In an accident, during hard braking
or suden maneuvers, loose items will
be thrown around inside the vehicle,
and cause injury to vehicle occu-
pants unless the items are securely
fastened in the vehicle.
prerequisite is, however, that this is
possible without endangering other
drivers on the road.
