Traveling Abroad
Abroad, there is a widely-spread
Mercedes-Benz service network at
your disposal. If you plan to travel
into areas which are not listed in
the index of your dealer directory,
you should request pertinent
information from your authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Winter Driving
Have your car winterized at your
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer
before the onset of winter.
• Change the engine oil if the
engine contains an oil which
is not approved for winter
operation. For viscosity
(SAE/CCMC class) and filling
quantity, see
Capacities: Fuels,
Coolants, Lubricants etc.
in
Index.
• Check engine coolant
anticorrosion/antifreeze
concentration.
• Additive for the windshield
washer and headlamp cleaning
system: Add MB Concentrate
“S” to a premixed windshield
washer solvent/antifreeze which
is formulated for below freezing
temperatures (see Index).
• Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged
battery helps to ensure that the
engine can be started, even at
low ambient temperatures.
• Tires: We recommend M+S
rated radial-ply tires on all four
wheels for the winter season.
Observe permissible maximum
speed for M+S rated radial-ply
tires and the legal speed limit.
Note:
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the electronic sta
bility program, of the acceleration
slip regulation or of the electronic
traction system can only be
achieved with M+S rated radial-ply
tires and/or snow chains recom
mended by Mercedes-Benz Snow
chains maximize performance.
Snow Chains
Use only snow 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. Follow the manu
facturer’s mounting instructions.
Snow chains should only be driven
on snow covered roads at speeds
not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
Remove chains as soon as pos
sible when driving on roads without
snow.
For tips on driving on slippery
winter roads, refer to Index.
Vehicles with Acceleration Slip
Regulation (ASR) or Electronic
Stability Program (ESP):
When driving with snow chains,
press the ASR control switch or the
ESP control switch, refer to Index.
