Snow chains
GWARNING
If snow chains are installed to the front
wheels, they may drag against the vehicle
body or chassis components. This could
cause damage to the vehicle or the tires.
There is arisk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
Rnever install snow chains to the front
wheels
Ralways install snow chains in pairs to the
rear wheels.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that have
been specially approved for your vehicle by
Mercedes-Benz, or are of acorresponding
standard of quality. For more information,
please contact aqualified specialist workshop.
If you inten dtomount snow chains, please bear
the following points in mind:
RSnow chains may not be mounted on all
wheel/tire combinations .Permissible wheel-
tire combination s(
Ypage 340).
ROnly use snow chains when driving on roads
completely covered by snow. Remove the
snow chains as soon as possible when you
come toaroad that is not snow-covered.
RLocal regulations may restrict the use of snow
chains. Observe the appropriate regulations if
you wish to mount snow chains.
RDo not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 31 mph (50 km/h).
ROn vehicles with AIRMATIC, you must drive at
raised vehicle level if snow chains have been
installed (
Ypage 172).
RWhen snow chains are installed, never use
Active Parking Assist (Ypage 177).
You may wish to deactivate ESP®when pulling
away with snow chains installed:
RAll vehicles (except Mercedes ‑AMG vehicles)
(Ypage 67)
RMercedes‑AM Gvehicles (Ypage 68)
You can thereby allow the wheels to spin in a
controlled manner, achieving an increased driv- ing force (cuttin gaction).
Tire pressure
Tire pressures pecifications
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
Rthe tires may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
Rthe tires may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
Rthe driving characteristics, as well as steer-
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is arisk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing the spare wheel:
Rmonthly, at least
Rif the load changes
Rbefore beginning along journey
Runder different operating conditions, e.g.
off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
The data on the Tire and Loading Information
placard and tire pressure table shown here are
examples. Tire pressure specifications are vehi-
cle-specific and may deviate from the data
shown here. The tire pressure specifications
that are valid for your vehicle can be found on
the Tire and Loading Information placard and
tire pressure table on the vehicle.
General notes
The recommended tire pressures for the tires
mounted at the factory can be found on the
labels described here.
Further information on tire pressures can be
obtained at aqualified specialist workshop.

Information on the message display can be
found in the "Checking the tire pressure elec-
tronically"section (
Ypage 325).
Important safety notes
GWARNING
Each tire, including the spare (if provided),
shoul dbec hecked at least once every two
weeks when cold and inflated to the pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer
on the Tire and Loading Information placard
on the driver's door B-pillaro rthe tire pres-
sure label on the inside of the fuel fillerf lap. If
you rvehicle has tires of adifferent size than
the size indicated on the Tire and Loading
Information placard or, if available, the tire
pressure label, you shoul ddetermine the
proper tire pressure for those tires.
As an adde dsafety feature, you rvehicle has
been equipped with atire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) that illuminates alow tire pres-
sure telltal ewhen one or more of you rtires
are significantly underinflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltal elights up,
you shoul dstop and check you rtires as soon
as possible, and inflate them to the proper
pressure. Driving on asignificantly underin-
flated tire cause sthe tire to overheata nd can
leadtot ire failure.
Underinflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle's
handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tire
maintenance, and it is the driver's responsi-
bility to maintain correct tire pressure, even if
underinflation has not reached the level to
trigger illuminatio nofthe TPMS low tire pres-
sure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a
TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when
the system is not operating properly. The
TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with
the low tire pressure telltale. When the sys-
tem detects amalfunction, the warning lamp
wil lflash for approximately aminute and then
remain continuously illuminated .This
sequence wil lberepeated every time the vehi-
cle is started as long as the malfunction
exists. When the malfunction indicator is illu-
minated, the system may not be abl etodetect
or signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for avariety of
reasons, including the installation of incom-
patibl ereplacement or alternate tires or
wheel sonthe vehicle that prevent the TPMS
from functioning properly. Alway scheck the
TPMS malfunction telltal eafter replacing one
or more tires or wheel sonyourv ehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate Tires
and wheelsa llow the TPMS to continue to
function properly.
It is the driver's responsibility to set the tire
pressure to that recommended for cold tires
which is suitable for the operating situation
(
Ypage 319). Note that the correct tire pressure
for the current operating situation must first be
taught-in to the tire pressure monitor. If there is
as ubstantial loss of pressure, the warning
threshold for the warning messag eisaligned to
the reference values taught-in. Restart the tire
pressure monitor after adjusting the pressure of
the cold tires (
Ypage 325). The current pres-
sures are saved as new reference values. As a
result, awarning messag ewillappear if the tire
pressure drops significantly.
The tire pressure monitor does not warn you of
an incorrectly set tire pressure. Observe the
notes on the recommended tire pressure
(
Ypage 319).
The tire pressure monitor is not abl etowarn you
of as udden loss of pressure, e.g. if the tire is
penetrated by aforeign object. In the event of a
su

dden loss of pressure, bring the vehicle to a
halt by braking carefully. Avoid abrupt steering
movements.
