Winter driving
Before the onset of winter, have your
vehicle winterized at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center. This service
includes:
앫
Check of anticorrosion and antifreeze
concentration
앫
Addition of cleaning concentrate to the
water of the windshield and headlamp
cleaning system
Add MB Concentrate “S” to a premixed
windshield washer solvent/antifreeze
which is formulated for temperatures
below freezing point (

page 435).
앫
Battery test
Battery capacity drops with decreasing
ambient temperature. A well charged
battery helps to make sure that the en-
gine can be started and the SBC brake
system will be fully operational, even at
low ambient temperatures.

Tire change
Winter tires
Always use winter tires at temperatures
below 45°F (7°C) and whenever wintry
road conditions prevail. Not all M+S rated
radial ply tires provide special winter per-
formance. Make sure the tires you use
show the mountain/snowflake
.
mark-
ing on the tire sidewall. These tires meet
specific snow traction performance re-
quirements of the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) and The Rubber Associ-
ation of Canada (RAC) and have been
designed specifically for use in snow con-
ditions. Use of winter tires is the only way
to achieve the maximum effectiveness of
the ABS, ESP and SBC in winter operation.
For safe handling, make sure that all
mounted winter tires are of the same make
and have the same tread design.
Always observe the speed rating of the
winter tires installed on your vehicle. If the
maximum speed for which your tires are
rated is below the speed rating of your ve-
hicle, you must place a notice to this effect
where it will be seen by the driver. Such
notices are available at your tire dealer or
any authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
Warning!
G
Winter tires with a tread depth of less than
1
/
6
in (4 mm) must be replaced. They are no
longer suitable for winter operation.
