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 83) before setting the vehicle
in motion. This will improve the
vehicle’s traction.

Even on vehicles with all-wheel-drive
use snow chains on rear tires only.
