Snow chains
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow-covered roads at speeds not to ex-
ceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove chains
as soon as possible when driving on roads
without snow.
Observe the following guidelines when us-
ing snow chains:
ț Use of snow chains is not permissible
on all wheel/tire combinations.
ț Snow chains should only be used on all
four wheels. With only two chains avail-
able, they should be mounted on the
rear wheels. Follow the manufacturer’s
mounting instructions.
ț Only use snow chains that are ap-
proved by Mercedes-Benz. Your autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center will be glad to advise you on this
subject.
ț Use of snow chains may be prohibited
depending on location. Always check
local and state laws before installing
snow chains.
i
When driving with snow chains, you
may wish to deactivate the ESP
(
୴ page 79) before setting the vehicle
in motion. This will improve the
vehicle’s traction.
