Tire speed rating Vehicles without Sport Package: Your vehicle is factory equipped with "H"-rated tires, which have a speed rating of 130 mph (210 km/h). An electronic speed limiter prevents your vehicle from exceeding the speed rating. Warning! Even when permitted by law, never operate a vehicle at speeds greater than the maximum 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 resulting in personal injury and possible death. Snow chains Use only snow chains that are tested and recommended by Mercedes-Benz. Your authorized Mercedes-Benz Center will be glad to advise you on this subject. Chains should only be used on the rear wheels. Follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions. Snow chains should only be driven on snow covered roads at speeds not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove chains as soon as possible when driving on roads without snow. When driving with snow chains, press the ESP control switch to OFF, refer to page 280.
