Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres
WARNING Risk of injury due to damaged tyres

Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.

Check the tyres regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tyres immediately.
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to insufficient tyre tread

Insufficient tyre tread will result in reduced tyre grip.

The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet roads, especially when the speed of the vehicle is not adapted to suit the conditions.

Thus, you should regularly check the tread depth and the condition of the tread across the entire width of all tyres.
Minimum tread depth for:
  • Summer tyres: 3 mm

  • M+S tyres: 4 mm

For safety reasons, replace the tyres before the legally-prescribed limit for the minimum tread depth is reached.
Carry out the following checks on all wheels regularly, at least once a month or as required, for example, prior to a long journey or driving off-road:
  • Check the tyre pressure More.

  • Visually inspect wheels and tyres for damage.

  • Check the valve caps.

  • Visual check of the tyre tread depth and the tyre contact surface across the entire width.

    The minimum tread depth for summer tyres is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.

Notes on snow chains
WARNING Risk of accident due to incorrect snow chain fitting

If you have fitted snow chains to the front wheels, the snow chains may drag against the vehicle body or chassis components.

This could cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.

Never fit snow chains on the front wheels.
Only fit snow chains on the rear wheels in pairs.
NOTE Damage to components of the vehicle body or chassis due to fitted snow chains

If you fit snow chains to the front wheels of 4MATIC vehicles, you may damage components of the vehicle body or chassis.

Only fit snow chains to the rear wheels of 4MATIC vehicles.
Observe the following notes when using snow chains:
  • Snow chains are only permissible for certain wheel/tyre combinations. You can obtain information about this from a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.

  • For safety reasons, only use snow chains that have been specifically approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz, or snow chains with the same quality standard.

  • If snow chains are fitted, the maximum permissible speed is 50 km/h.

  • Vehicles with Active Parking Assist: do not use Active Parking Assist when snow chains are fitted.

  • Vehicles with level control: if snow chains are fitted, only drive at raised vehicle level More.

You can permanently limit the maximum speed for driving with winter tyres More.

You can deactivate ESP® to pull away More. This allows the wheels to spin, achieving an increased driving force.

Notes on windscreen washer fluid

WARNING Risk of fire and injury from windscreen washer concentrate

Windscreen washer concentrate is highly flammable. If it comes into contact with hot components, it may ignite.

NOTE Damage to the exterior lighting due to unsuitable windscreen washer fluid

Unsuitable windscreen washer fluids may damage the plastic surface of the exterior lighting.

Only use windscreen washer fluids which are also suitable for use on plastic surfaces, e.g. MB SummerFit or MB WinterFit.
NOTEBlocked spray nozzles caused by mixing windscreen washer fluids
Do not mix MB SummerFit and MB WinterFit with other windscreen washer fluids.

Do not use distilled or de-ionised water. Otherwise, the fill level sensor may be triggered erroneously.

Recommended windscreen washer fluid:
  • above freezing point: e.g. MB SummerFit

  • below freezing point: e.g. MB WinterFit

For the correct mixing ratio, refer to the information on the antifreeze container.

Mix washer fluid with windscreen washer fluid all year round.
