Abroad, there is a widely-spread
MERCEDES-BENZ service network at
your disposal. If you plan to travel into
areas which are not listed in the index
of your dealer directory, you should
request pertinent information from
your authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer.
Winter Driving
Have your car winterized at your
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
before the onset of winter.
• Change the engine oil if the engine
contains an oil which is not approv
ed for winter operation. For visco
sity (SAE class) and filling quantity,
see “ Fuels, Coolants, Lubricants,
etc.” , page 109.
• Check engine coolant anticorro
sion/antifreeze concentration.
Traveling Abroad
• Additive for the windshield washer
and headlamp cleaning systems:
Add MB Concentrate “ S” to the
premixed windshield washer
solvent/antifreeze which is formu
lated for below freezing tempera
tures (see page 50).
• Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged bat
tery ensures that the engine can
always be started, even at low am
bient temperatures.
• Tires: We recommend M +S radial
tires on all four wheels for the win
ter season. Observe permissible
maximum speed for M +S radial
tires and the legal speed limit.
Note:
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the automatic locking
differential or the acceleration slip
control is only achieved with M +S
radial-ply tires.
Use only snow chains that are tested
and recommended by MERCEDES-
BENZ. Your authorized MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer will be glad to advise you
on this subject.
Chains should only be used on the
rear wheels. Follow to the manufactu
rer’s mounting instructions.
After driving a short distance retighten
the mounted chains.
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph). Remove chains as soon
as possible when driving on roads
without snow.
For tips on driving on slippery winter
roads refer to page 18.
Vehicles with Acceleration Slip
Control (ASR):
When driving with snow chains, press
the snow chain switch, see page 67.
