Winter Driving
Have your car winterized at an au
thorized MERCEDES-BENZ dealer
before the onset of winter.
•
• Engine oil change: If “year-round”
multigrade engine oil is not used,
be sure to use an SAE grade
based on ambient temperature.
For recommended engine oil vis
cosities refer to “Fuels, Coolants,
Lubricants, etc.” and last page. *
• Anticorrosion/antifreeze in the
coolant: Check anticorrosion/anti
freeze protection periodically. For
capacity refer to “ Fuels, Coolants,
Lubricants, etc.” .

Additive in the windshield and
headlamp washing system: Add
windshield washer solvent to the
water.
Test battery: Battery capacity
drops with decreasing ambient
temperature. A well charged bat
tery ensures that the engine can
always be started, even at low
ambient temperatures.
Tires: We recommend M + S ra
dial tires on all four wheels for the
winter season. Observe permis
sible maximum speed for M + S
radial tires and the legal speed
limit.
Use only tire chains that are tested
and recommended by MERCEDES-
BENZ. Any authorized MERCEDES-
BENZ dealer will be glad to advise you
on this subject.
Chains should only be used on the
rear wheels. Adhere to the manufac
turer’s mounting instructions.
After driving a short distance retighten
the mounted chains.
Tire chains should only be driven on
snow at speeds not to exceed 50 km/h
(30 mph). Remove chains as soon as
possible when driving on roads with
out snow.
For tips on driving on slippery winter
roads refer to page 18.
