Tire pressure ! Information about the use of snow chain compatible AMG winter tires is applicable for AMG tires. Use of snow chains is only permissible with these tires. ! There is not enough space for snow chains on some wheel sizes. Observe the information under "Tires and wheels" in the "Technical Data" section to avoid damage to the vehicle or the wheels. ROnly use snow chains when driving on roads completely covered by snow. Do not exceed the maximum permissible speed of 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove the snow chains as soon as possible when you are no longer driving on snow-covered roads. RLocal regulations may restrict the use of snow chains. Applicable regulations must be observed if you wish to mount snow chains. If you intend to install snow chains, please bear the following points in mind: Ryou may not attach snow chains to all wheel-tire combinations; see the information under "Wheels and tires" in the "Technical data" section. Rmount snow chains only in pairs and only to the rear wheels. Observe the manufacturer's installation instructions. ! If snow chains are mounted on the front wheels, the snow chains could grind against the bodywork or components of the chassis. This could result in damage to the vehicle or the tires. i You may wish to deactivate ESP®(Y page 57) when pulling away with snow chains installed. This way you can allow the wheels to spin in a controlled manner, achieving an increased driving force (cutting action). Tire pressure Tire pressure specifications G Warning Follow recommended tire inflation pressures. Do not underinflate tires. Underinflated tires wear excessively and/or unevenly, adversely affect handling and fuel economy, and are more likely to fail from being overheated. Do not overinflate tires. Overinflated tires can adversely affect handling and ride comfort, wear unevenly, increase stopping distance, and result in sudden deflation (blowout) because they are more likely to become punctured or damaged by road debris, potholes etc. Do not overload the tires by exceeding the specified load limit as indicated on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the driver's door B-pillar. Overloading the tires can overheat them, possibly causing a blowout. Overloading the tires can also result in handling or steering problems, or brake failure. 249 You will find a table of recommended tire pressures on the Tire and Loading Information placard on the B-pillar on the driver's side (Y page 256). You will find a table of tire pressures for various operating conditions on the inside of your vehicle's fuel filler flap. To test tire pressure, use a suitable tire pressure gauge.
