Snow chains
Winter driving instructions
Use only snow chains that are tested and recommended
by Mercedes-Benz. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz
Light Truck Center will be glad to advise you on this
subject.
The most important rule for slippery or icy roads is to
drive sensibly and to avoid abrupt acceleration, braking
and steering maneuvers. Do not use the cruise control
system under such conditions.
Snow chains should be used on all four wheels. Follow
the manufacturer’s mounting instructions.
When the vehicle is in danger of skidding, move
selector lever to position “N”. Try to keep the vehicle
under control by corrective steering action.
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.
Important!
Avoid spinning of one drive wheel. This may cause
serious damage to the drive train which is not covered
by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
To ensure sufficient traction during off-road driving,
activate differential locks as needed, see page 253.
ABS, ESP and BAS are switched off automatically when
the transfer case differential lock is activated.
