Winter Driving Instructions

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, move selector lever to

position "N". Try to keep the vehicle

under control by corrective steering

action.

Road salts and chemicals can adversely

affect braking efficiency. Increased

pedal force may become necessary to

produce the normal brake effect. We

therefore recommend depressing the

brake pedal periodically when traveling

at length on salt-strewn roads. This can

bring road salt impaired braking

efficiency back to normal. A

prerequisite is, however, that this be

done without endangering other drivers

on the road.

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 while

observing the safety rules in the

previous paragraph.

Warning!

If the vehicle becomes stuck in snow,

make sure that snow is kept clear of

the exhaust pipe and from around

the vehicle with engine running.

Otherwise, deadly carbon monoxide

(CO) gases may enter vehicle interior

resulting in unconsciousness and

death.

To assure sufficient fresh air

ventilation, open a window slightly

on the side of the vehicle not facing

the wind.

Deep Water Caution!

Do not drive through flooded areas or

water of unknown depth.

If you must drive through deep water,

drive slowly to prevent water from

entering the engine compartment or

being ingested by the air intake,

possibly causing damage to electrical

components or wiring, to engine or

transmission that is not covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

Passenger Compartment

Warning!

Always fasten items being carried as

securely as possible.

In an accident, during hard braking

or sudden maneuvers, loose items

will be thrown around inside the

vehicle, and cause injury to vehicle

occupants unless the items are

securely fastened in the vehicle.
