Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2015 - Manual (Page 311)

Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the M+S tires you have
mounted.
When you have mounted the M+S tires:
X Check the tire pressures (
Y
page 309).
X Restart the tire pressure monitor
(
Y
page 315).
i You can obtain information about winter
tires that have been approved by
Mercedes-Benz especially for your vehicle
at any Mercedes-Benz Service center.
i For further information about tires, see

Snow chains
! 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.
! On some tire sizes there is not enough
space for snow chains. To avoid damage to
the vehicle or tires, observe the "Wheel and
tire combinations" section under "Tires and
wheels".
! 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.
For safety reasons, Mercedes-Benz recom-
mends that you only use snow chains that
have been specially approved for your vehicle
by Mercedes-Benz, or are of a corresponding
standard of quality.
R Only use snow chains when driving on
roads completely covered by snow.
Remove the snow chains as soon as possi-
ble when you come to a road that is not
snow-covered.
R
Local regulations may restrict the use of
snow chains. Observe the appropriate reg-
ulations if you wish to mount snow chains.
R Do not exceed the maximum permissible
speed of 30 mph (50 km/h).
If you intend to mount snow chains, please
bear the following points in mind:
R Snow chains cannot be mounted on all
wheel/tire combinations (
Y
page 331).
R
Mount snow chains only in pairs and only
on the rear wheels. Observe the manufac-
turer's mounting instructions.
i You can deactivate ESP ® (
Y
page 63)
when pulling away with snow chains instal-
led. You can thereby allow the wheels to
spin in a controlled manner, achieving an
increased driving force (cutting action).

Important safety notes
G WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
R the tires may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R the tires may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
R the driving characteristics, as well as steer-
ing and braking, may be greatly impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires includ-
ing the spare wheel:
R monthly, at least
R if the load changes
