Snow chains
G
WARNING
If you have fitted snow chains to the front
wheels, they may scrape against the vehicle
body or chassis components. This could
cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R
never fit snow chains on the front wheels
R
fit snow chains to the rear wheels in pairs.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that
have been specifically approved for your vehi-
cle by Mercedes-Benz, or that are of a corre-
sponding standard of quality. For more infor-
mation, please contact a qualified specialist
workshop.
If you intend to fit snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:
R
snow chains cannot be fitted to all wheel-
tyre combinations. Permissible wheel-tyre
combinations (
Y
page 293).
R
only use snow chains if the road surface is
completely snow-covered. Remove the
snow chains as soon as possible when you
come to a road that is not snow-covered.
R
local regulations may restrict the use of
snow chains. Observe the appropriate reg-
ulations if you wish to fit snow chains.
R
do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 50 km/h.
You may wish to deactivate ESP
®
when pull-
ing away with snow chains fitted (
Y
page 59).
This way you can allow the wheels to spin in a
controlled manner, achieving an increased
driving force (cutting action).

WARNING
Tyres with insufficient or excessive tyre pres-
sure harbour the following hazards:
R
the tyres may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R
the tyres may wear excessively or unevenly
which can severely impair tyre traction.
R
the handling as well as steering and braking
characteristics may be severely affected.
There is a risk of an accident.
Observe the recommended tyre pressures
and check the tyre pressure of all the tyres
including the spare wheel:
R
every day before starting a journey
R
when the load changes
R
prior to long journey
R
for changed operating conditions, e.g. off-
road driving
If necessary, correct the tyre pressure.
G
WARNING
If you fit unsuitable accessories onto tyre
valves, the tyre valves may be overloaded and
malfunction, which can cause tyre pressure
loss. Due to their design, retrofitted tyre pres-
sure monitors keep the tyre valve open. This
can also result in tyre pressure loss. There is a
risk of accident.
Only screw standard valve caps or valve caps
specifically provided by Mercedes-Benz for
your vehicle onto the tyre valve.
G
WARNING
If the tyre pressure drops repeatedly, the
wheel, valve or tyre may be damaged. Tyre
pressure that is too low may result in a tyre
blow-out. There is a risk of accident.
R
Check the tyre for foreign objects.
R
Check whether the wheel is losing air or the
valve is leaking.
