Operation
Winter driving
Benz Center will be glad to advise you on
this subject.
G Warning!
The outside temperature indicator is not
designed to serve as an ice-warning device
and is therefore unsuitable for that
purpose.
Indicated temperatures just above the
freezing point do not guarantee that the
road surface is free of ice. The road may still
be icy, especially in wooded areas or on
bridges.
i For information on driving with snow
chains, see “Snow chains” (Y page 284).
RUse of snow chains may be prohibited
depending on location. Always check local
and state laws before installing snow
chains.
Road salts and chemicals can adversely
affect braking efficiency. Increased pedal
force may become necessary to produce the
normal brake effect.
Depressing the brake pedal periodically when
traveling at length on salt-strewn roads can
bring road-salt-impaired braking efficiency
back to normal.
If the vehicle is parked after being driven on
salt-treated roads, the braking efficiency
should be tested as soon as possible after
driving is resumed.
RDo not use snow chains on the spare wheel.
i When driving with snow chains, you may
wish to switch off the ESP® (Y page 68)
before setting the vehicle in motion. This
will improve the vehicle’s traction.
G Warning!
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced
vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not
prevent this type of loss of control.
Winter driving instructions
G Warning!
Make sure not to endanger any other road
users when carrying out these braking
maneuvers.
G Warning!
If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow, make
sure snow is kept clear of the exhaust pipe
and from around the vehicle with the engine
running. Otherwise, deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) gases may enter vehicle
interior resulting in unconsciousness and
death.
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.
When the vehicle is in danger of skidding, shift
the automatic transmission to neutral
position N or declutch in case of manual
transmission. Try to keep the vehicle under
control by corrective steering action.
To assure sufficient fresh air ventilation,
open a window slightly on the side of the
vehicle not facing the wind.
