Hydroplaning
Mercedes-Benz recommends winter tires
Tire speed rating
with a minimum tread depth of approxi-
mately 1/6 in (4 mm) on all four wheels for
the winter season to make sure normal
balanced handling characteristics. On
packed snow, they can reduce your stop-
ping distance compared to summer tires.
Depending on the depth of the water layer
on the road, hydroplaning may occur, even
at low speeds and with new tires. Reduce
vehicle speed, avoid track grooves in the
road and apply brakes cautiously in the
rain.
Regardless of the tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed. Use
prudent driving speeds appropriate to pre-
vailing conditions.
Warning!
G
Stopping distance, however, is still consid-
erably greater than when the road is not
covered with snow or ice. Exercise appro-
priate caution.
Tire traction
Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tires.
The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or
icy road is always lower than on a dry road.
!
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
serious injury and possible death, for you
and for others.
You should pay particular attention to the
condition of the road whenever the outside
temperatures are close to the freezing
point.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel. This
may cause serious damage to the
drivetrain which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Warning!

For more information, see “Tires and
wheels” (୴ page 335).
If ice has formed on the road, tire traction
will be substantially reduced. Under such
weather conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extreme caution.
