Snow chains
Notes on snow chains
G
WARNING
If you drive too fast with snow chains fitted,
they may snap. As a result, you could injure
others and damage the vehicle. There is a risk
of an accident.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
operation with snow chains.
! Only use snow chains that have been
approved and recommended for Mercedes-
Benz. This will prevent you from causing dam-
age to the vehicle. If you have questions, con-
sult a qualified specialist workshop.
! Mercedes-Benz recommends that you fit
snow chains to all drive wheels. If your vehicle
has permanent all-wheel drive and you do not
fit snow chains to all drive wheels, activate the
inter-axle lock. You could otherwise damage
the differential.
The law may require that snow chains be
removed as soon as possible once the road is
clear of snow. The vehicle's driving and braking
characteristics will be adversely affected if you
drive on roads that are clear of snow with snow
chains fitted to the vehicle.
Observe the notes of the snow chain manufac-
turer on the maximum permissible speed for
operation with snow chains.
When using the snow chains described here,
observe the legal requirements for the country
you are currently in.
Do not use twin chains on vehicles with roll con-
trol. Only fit snow chains on the exterior wheels.
Vehicles with electric power steering: if you
change the mechanical axle stops, e.g. when
using snow chains, have the electric power
steering taught-in at a qualified specialist work-
shop.
X Vehicles with ASR/stability control assistant:
if traction problems occur when driving with
snow chains, deactivate ASR (
Y
page 266) or
Stability Control Assist (
Y
page 267).
Checking the wheel clearance
! If the clearance between the snow chain and
steering linkage is less than 25 mm, the snow
chain could damage the steering linkage. In
this case, remove the snow chains again.
Have the steering geometry checked at a
qualified specialist workshop.
Example: drag link
X
Apply the parking brake.
X Fit snow chains in accordance with the fitting
instructions of the chain manufacturer.
X
Start the engine.
X
Turn the steering wheel towards the co-driv-
er's side to the stop.
With the steering on full lock, there must be a
clearance of at least 30 mm between the
snow chain and the drag link.
