for winter use

and low outside temperatures towards the
front of this section ( page 249).
Also observe the notes about driving in
winter ( page 268).
Winter tyres
Use winter tyres at temperatures below
+4 °C and on snow or ice-covered roads.
The maximum effect of the ABS, BAS,
4-ETS and ESP driving systems is only
achieved with winter tyres.
Use winter tyres of the same make and
tread on all wheels to maintain safe handling
characteristics.

Winter driving
Risk of accident G
You must replace winter tyres with a tread
depth of less than 4 mm immediately. They
are no longer suitable for winter use.
Always observe the maximum permitted
speed specified for the winter tyres you
have fitted. If you fit winter tyres which
have a lower maximum permitted speed
than that of the vehicle, affix an appropriate
warning sign in the driver's field of vision.
You can obtain this from a qualified
specialist workshop, such as a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
