Driving instructions
Tire traction
considerably greater than when the road is
not covered with snow or ice. Exercise ap-
propriate caution.
Warning!
G
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or
icy road is always lower than on a dry road.
Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tires.
!
You should pay particular attention to the
condition of the road whenever the outside
temperatures are close to the freezing
point.
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.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire
failure, causing loss of vehicle control and
possibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury and possible death, for you
and for others.
Warning!

Tire speed rating
If ice has formed on the road, tire traction
will be substantially reduced. Under such
weather conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
Regardless of the tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed. Use
prudent driving speeds appropriate to
prevailing conditions.
Mercedes-Benz recommends M+S rated
radial-ply tires with a minimum tread depth
1
of approximately / in (4 mm) on all four
6
wheels for the winter season to ensure
normal balanced handling characteristics.
On packed snow, they can reduce your
stopping distance compared to summer
tires. Stopping distance, however, is still
