Operation

Winter driving

Block heater (Canada only)

The engine is equipped with a block

heater.

The electrical cable may be installed at an

authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck

Center.

Snow chains

Snow chains should only be driven on

snow-covered roads at speeds not to

exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove chains

as soon as possible when driving on roads

without snow.

Please observe the following guidelines

when using snow chains:

앫 Use of snow chains is not permissible

with all wheel/tire combinations.

앫 Snow chains should only be used on

the rear wheels. Follow the manufac-

turer’s mounting instructions.

앫 Only use snow chains that are

approved by Mercedes-Benz. Your

authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck

Center will be glad to advise you on this

subject.

앫 Use of snow chains may be prohibited

depending on location. Always check

local and state laws before installing

snow chains.

Warning! G

If you use your spare tire when winter tires

are fitted on the other wheels, be aware that

the difference in tire characteristics may

very well impair turning stability and that

overall driving stability may be reduced.

Adapt your driving style accordingly.

Have the spare tire replaced with a winter

tire at the nearest authorized

Mercedes-Benz Light Truck Center.

i

When driving with snow chains, you

may wish to deactivate the ESP

®

(

컄 page 97) before setting the vehicle

in motion. This will improve the

vehicle’s traction.

!

Even on vehicles with all-wheel-drive

use snow chains on rear tires only.

The use of snow chains is not permissi-

ble with the spare wheel.
