Warning!
G
Your vehicle is factory equipped with
“H”-rated tires, which have a speed rating
of 130 mph (210 km/h).
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.
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced vehi-
cle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not pre-
vent this type of control loss.
An electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding a speed of
130
mph (210 km/h).
When the vehicle is in danger of skidding,
shift the automatic transmission to
position N. Try to keep the vehicle under
control by corrective steering action.
Do not engage the transfer case in position
LOW when driving on ice or packed snow. At
speeds below 18 mph (30 km/h) vehicle
steering is adversely affected by the
Off-road – ABS (୴ page 104).
GL 450*
Your vehicle is factory equipped with
“W”-rated tires, which have a speed rating
of 168 mph (270 km/h).

see “Snow chains” (୴ page 421).

Road salts and chemicals can adversely af-
fect braking efficiency. Increased pedal
force may become necessary to produce
the normal brake effect.

i For information on speed ratings for winter
tires, see “Winter tires” (୴ page 420).
Depressing the brake pedal periodically
when traveling at length on salt-strewn
roads can bring road-salt-impaired braking
efficiency back to normal.
For additional general information on tire speed
markings on the tire sidewall, see “Tire speed
rating” (୴ page 418).
