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:
ì•« Chains should only be used on all four
wheels. With only two chains available,
they should be mounted on the rear
wheels. Follow the manufacturer’s
mounting instructions.
ì•« Use only 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.
i
When driving with snow chains, you
may wish to deactivate the ESP
(
컄 page 76) before setting the vehicle
in motion. This will improve the
vehicle’s traction.
