normal balanced handling characteristics.
On packed snow, they can reduce your
stopping distance as compared with sum-
mer tires. Stopping distance, however, is
still considerably greater than when the
road is not covered with snow or ice. Exer-
cise appropriate caution.
You should pay particular attention to the
condition of the road whenever the outside
temperatures are close to the freezing
point.

Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tires.
If ice has formed on the road, tire traction
will be substantially reduced. Under such
weather conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
!
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure, causing loss of vehicle control and pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury and possible death, for you
and for others.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel. This
may cause serious damage to the
drivetrain which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
