Operation
Winter driving
Risk of accident G
If you fit the spare wheel when driving with
winter tyres, please be aware that driving
stability will be impaired owing to unstable
cornering characteristics caused by the different
tyres. You should therefore adapt
your driving style to suit these conditions
and drive carefully.
Have the spare wheel replaced at the nearest
qualified specialist workshop which
has the necessary specialist knowledge and
tools to carry out the work required.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you use a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for this purpose.
In particular, work relevant to safety or on
safety-related systems must be carried out
at a qualified specialist workshop.

Snow chains
The maximum permissible speed of
50 km/h for snow chains may only be
driven on snow. Adapt your driving style
accordingly where there is uneven snow
cover. If you are not driving on snow, remove
the snow chains as soon as possible.
i
ESP can be deactivated when pulling
away with snow chains ( page 74).
This will help you to achieve a better
cutting effect. !
If you are intending to fit snow chains,
please observe the following points:
Snow chains cannot be fitted on all
wheel/tyre combinations.
Nur fuer internen Gebrauch
Use snow chains on all four wheels to
attain maximum traction and driving
stability. Observe the legal requirements
in all countries concerned.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that, for
safety reasons, you only use snow
chains that are suitable and have been
approved by Mercedes-Benz.
You may obtain further information
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
You must not fit snow chains to AMG
tyres with a dimension of 285/55 R18.
