WARNING
M+S tires with a tire tread depth of less than
1/6 in (4 mm) are not suitable for use in winter
and do not provide sufficient traction. There
is a risk of an accident.
M+S tires with a tread depth of less than 1/6 in (4 mm) must be replaced immediately.
WARNING
The spare wheel and M+S tires have different
tire characteristics. Driving characteristics
can be severely impaired when you mount the
spare wheel. There is a risk of an accident.
You should therefore adapt your driving style and drive carefully. Have the spare wheel replaced with a new wheel with an M+S tire at the nearest qualified specialist workshop.
At temperatures below 45 º F(+7 º C), use allseason tires or winter tires. Both types of tire are identified by the M+S marking.
Not all tires with the M+S marking provide the
driving characteristics of winter tires. In
addition to the M+S marking, winter tires also
have the snowflake symbol on the
tire
wall. Tires with this marking fulfill the
requirements of the Rubber Manufacturers
Association (RMA) and the Rubber
Association of Canada (RAC) regarding snow
traction, and were specially developed for
driving on snow. Only these tires will allow
driving safety systems such as ABS and
ESP® to function optimally in winter, since
these tires have been designed specifically
for driving on snow.
Use M+S tires of the same make and tread on all wheels to maintain safe handling characteristics.
Always observe the maximum permissible speed specified for the M+S tires you have mounted.
When you have installed the M+S tires: X Check the tire pressures .
► Restart the tire pressure monitor .
You can obtain information about winter tires that have been approved by Mercedes-Benz especially for your vehicle at any Mercedes-Benz Service center.
