below 45°F (7°C) and whenever wintry
road conditions prevail. Not all M+S rated

tire sidewall. These tires meet specific
snow traction performance requirements
of the Rubber Manufacturers Association
(RMA) and The Rubber Association of
Canada (RAC) and have been designed
specifically for use in snow conditions. Use
of winter tires is the only way to achieve
the maximum effectiveness of the ABS and

winter tires installed on your vehicle. If the
maximum speed for which your tires are

where it will be seen by the driver. Such
notices are available at your tire dealer or
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.

ESP in winter operation.
®
Battery capacity drops with decreasing
ambient temperature. A well charged
battery helps to make sure that the
engine can be started, even at low am-
bient temperatures.
For safe handling, make sure that all
mounted winter tires are of the same make
and have the same tread design.
