Mercedes Benz 2007 r 350 用户手册

The safe speed on a wet, snow covered or 
icy road is always lower than on a dry road.

You should pay particular attention to the 
condition of the road whenever the outside 
temperatures are close to the freezing 
point.

Mercedes-Benz recommends winter tires 
(

page 405) with a minimum tread depth 

of approximately 

1

/

6

in (4 mm) on all four 

wheels for the winter season to ensure 
normal balanced handling characteristics. 
On packed snow, they can reduce your 
stopping distance compared to summer 
tires.

Stopping distance, however, is still consid-
erably greater than when the road is not 
covered with snow or ice. Exercise appro-
priate caution.

Regardless of the tire speed rating, local 
speed limits should be obeyed. Use 
prudent driving speeds appropriate to 
prevailing conditions.

If ice has formed on the road, tire traction 

will be substantially reduced. Under such 

weather conditions, drive, steer and brake 

with extreme caution.

!

G

Even when permitted by law, never operate 

a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-

mum speed rating of the tires.

Exceeding the maximum speed for which 

tires are rated can lead to sudden tire 

failure, causing loss of vehicle control and 

possibly resulting in an accident and/or 

serious injury and possible death, for you 

and for others.
