Operation
Winter driving
Block heater* (Canada only)
The engine is equipped with a block heat-
er.
The electrical cable may be installed at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Snow chains
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow-covered roads at speeds not to ex-
ceed 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
(
컄
page 480).
앫
Use snow chains in pairs and on rear
wheels only. Follow the manufacturer’s
mounting instructions.
앫
Only use snow chains that are ap-
proved by Mercedes-Benz. Any autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz 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.
앫
Do not use snow chains on the spare
wheel (
컄
page 483).
Have the spare tire replaced with a winter
tire at the nearest authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center.
!
When driving with snow chains, always se-
lect the raised level of the level control system
Airmatic (
컄
page 262). Other settings may result
in damage to your vehicle.
!
Even on vehicles with all-wheel-drive, use
snow chains on rear tires only.
Some tire sizes do not leave adequate clearance
for snow chains. To help avoid serious damage to
your vehicle or tires, make sure that the use of
snow chains is permissible as specified in the
“Technical data” section of this Operator’s Man-
ual, see “Rims and tires” (
컄
page 480).
!
If snow chains are mounted to the front
wheels, they may scrape against the body or axle
components. The tires or the vehicle could be
damaged as a result.
i
When driving with snow chains, you may
wish to switch off the ESP
®
(
컄
page 102) before
setting the vehicle in motion. This will improve
the vehicle’s traction.
i
E 63 AMG:
Do not switch off the ESP
®
when driving in snow
or with snow chains mounted.
