Tire change. 

Always use winter tires at temperatures 
below 45°F (7°C) and whenever wintry 
road conditions prevail. Not all M+S rated 
tires provide special winter performance. 
Make sure the tires you use show the 
mountain/snowflake

.marking on the 

tire sidewall. These tires meet specific 
snow traction performance requirements 
of the Rubber Manufacturers Association 
(RMA) and the Rubber Association of Can-
ada (RAC) and have been designed specif-
ically for use in snow conditions. Use of 
winter tires is the only way to achieve the 
maximum effectiveness of the ABS, EBP, 
ESP

®

 and 4MATIC in winter operation.

For safe handling, make sure all mounted 
winter tires are of the same make and have 
the same tread design.

Always observe the speed rating of the 
winter tires installed on your vehicle. If the 
maximum speed for which your tires are 
rated is below the speed rating of your 
vehicle, you must place a notice to this 
effect where it will be seen by the driver. 
Such notices are available at your tire 
dealer or any authorized Mercedes-Benz 
Center.
