X

Check the tyre pressures (Y page 321).

X

Restart the tyre pressure loss warning sys-

tem (Y page 323).

Snow chains

G

WARNING

If snow chains are fitted to the rear wheels,

they may scrape against the vehicle body or

chassis components. This could cause dam-

age

to the vehicle or the tyres. There is a risk

of an accident.

To avoid hazardous situations:

R

never fit snow chains on the rear wheels

R

always fit snow chains in pairs to the front

wheels.

!

Vehicles with steel wheels: if you fit

snow chains on steel wheels, you may dam-

age the hub caps. Remove the hub caps

from the relevant wheels before fitting the

snow chains.

For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-

mends that you only use snow chains that

have been specially approved for your vehicle

by Mercedes-Benz, or that are of a corre-

sponding standard of quality.

If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear

the following points in mind:

R

snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel-

tyre combinations. Permissible wheel-tyre

combinations (Y page 329).

R

only use snow chains when the road sur-

face is completely snow-covered. Remove

the snow chains as soon as possible when

you come to a road that is not snow-cov-

ered.

R

local regulations may restrict the use of

snow

chains. Observe the appropriate reg-

ulations if you wish to fit snow chains.

R

do not exceed the maximum permissible

speed of 50 km/h.

R

when snow chains are fitted, never use

Active Parking Assist (Y page 186).

i

You may wish to deactivate

ESP

®

(Y page 65) when pulling away with

snow chains fitted. This way you can allow

the wheels to spin in a controlled manner,

achieving an increased driving force (cut-

ting action).

spare wheel (Y page 332).

Tyre pressure

Tyre pressure specifications

G

WARNING

Tyres with too low or too high tyre pressure

contain the following hazards:

R

they

can burst, in particular if the vehicle is

heavily laden or when driven at high

speeds.

R

the tyres can wear excessively and/or

unevenly, which can severely impair tyre

traction.

R

the driving, steering and braking character-

istics may be severely impaired.

There is a risk of accident.

Follow recommended tyre inflation pressures

and check the pressure of all the tyres includ-

ing the spare wheel:

R

at least every two weeks

R

if the load changes

R

before beginning a long journey

R

for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-

road driving

If necessary, correct the tyre pressure.
