Winter Driving
Have your car winterized at your
authorized MERCEDES-BENZ
dealer before the onset of winter.
• Engine oil change: If “year-
round” multigrade engine oil is
not used, be sure to use an
SAE grade based on ambient
temperature. For recommended
engine oil viscosities refer to
“ Fuels, Coolants, Lubricants,
etc.” and last page.
• Check engine coolant anticorro­
sion/antifreeze concentration.
• Additive for the windshield
washer system: Add MB Con­
centrate “S” to the premixed
windshield washer solvent
which is formulated for below
freezing temperatures (see page
40).
• Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged
battery ensures that the engine
can always be started, even at
low ambient temperatures.
• Tires: We recommend M+S ra­
dial tires on all four wheels for
the winter season. Observe per­
missible maximum speed for
M+S radial tires and the legal
speed limit.
Tire Chains
Use only tire 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. Adhere to the manu­
facturer’s mounting instructions.
After driving a short distance
retighten the mounted chains.
Tire 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.
