and one-half times aswell onthe governmenttesttrack as a tire graded100.
Therelative performance of tires depends uponthe actual conditions oftheir use, however,andmay depart significantly fromthe norm duetovariations in driving habits, service practices anddifferences inroadcharacteristics and climateconditions.
Tractiongrade
\nDANGERRisk of accident duetoinade‐quate traction
The tractiongrade assignedtothis tire isbased onstraight-ahead braking tractiontests, and does not include either accelera‐tion, cornering,hydroplaning or peak tractioncharacteristics.
Always adaptyour drivingstyle anddrive at a speedtosuitthe prevailingtraffic andweather conditions.
NOTEDamagetothe drivetrain fromwheelspin
Avoid wheelspin.
The traction grades – from highesttolowest –are AA,A,B and C. Those gradesrepresentthetire's abilitytostop onwet pavement as meas‐ured under controlled conditions on specifiedgovernmenttestsurfaces made of asphalt andconcrete.
Temperaturegrade
\nWARNINGRisk of accident from tireoverheating and tirefailure
Thetemperature gradeforthis tire is estab‐lishedfor a tirethat is properly inflated andnotoverloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐tion, orexcessive loading, either separatelyor in combination, can causeexcessive heatbuild-up and possible tirefailure.
Observetherecommended tire pres‐sures andregularlycheckthe tire pres‐
sure of all tires includingthe sparewheel.
Adjustthe tire pressure as necessary.
Thetemperature grades are A (the highest), Band C. Theyrepresentthe tire'sresistancetothegeneration of heat and its abilitytodissipateheat whentested under controlled conditions ona specified indoor laboratorytestwheel. Sus‐tained hightemperature can causethe materialofthe tiretodegenerate andreduce tire life, andexcessivetemperature can leadtosudden tirefailure. Grade C correspondstoa level of per‐formance which all passenger car tires mustmeet undertherequirements ofthe US Depart‐ment ofTransportation.

\nWARNING‑ Risk offireand injury fromwindshieldwasher concentrate
Windshieldwasher concentrate is highlyflammable. It could ignite if it comes intocontact withhot engine component parts ortheexhaust system.
Make surethat no windshieldwasherconcentrate spills out nexttothefilleropening.
NOTEDamagetotheexterior lightingduetounsuitable windshieldwasherfluid
Unsuitable windshieldwasherfluid may dam‐agethe plastic surface oftheexterior light‐ing.
Only use windshieldwasherfluid whichis also suitablefor use on plastic surfa‐ces, e.g. MB SummerFit or MBWinter‐Fit.
NOTEBlocked spraynozzles causedbymixing windshieldwasherfluids
Do not mix MB SummerFit and MBWin‐terFit withother windshieldwasherflu‐ids.
Do not use distilled or de-ionizedwater asthefilllevel sensor may be triggered erroneously.
Recommended windshieldwasherfluid:
RAbovefreezing point: e.g. MB SummerFit
RBelow freezing point: e.g. MBWinterFit
Forthe correct mixingratio,refertothe informa‐tion onthe antifreeze container.
Mixthewasherfluid withthe windshieldwasherfluid allyearround.
