Snow chains
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 possible when driving on roads
without snow.
Please observe the following guidelines
when using snow chains:
ț Use of snow chains is not permissible
with all wheel/tire combinations.
ț Snow chains should only be used on
the rear wheels. Follow the manufac-
turer’s mounting instructions.
ț Only use snow chains that are
approved by Mercedes-Benz. Your
authorized Mercedes-Benz 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 85) before
setting the vehicle in motion. This will improve
the vehicle’s traction.

wheels, they may scrape against the body or axle
components. The tires or the vehicle could be
damaged as a result.
