M+S tires
At temperatures below 45 °F (+7 °C), use
winter tires or all-season tires. Both types of
tire are identified by the M+S marking.
Only winter tires bearing the
snowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking
provide the best possible grip in wintry road
conditions. Only these tires will allow driving
safety systems such as ABS and ESP® to
function optimally in winter. These tires have
been developed specifically for driving in
snow.
Use M+S tires of the same make and tread on
all wheels to maintain safe handling
characteristics.
WARNING
M+S tires with a tread depth of less than
1/6 inch (4 mm) must be replaced
immediately. They are no longer suitable for
use in winter.
Always observe the maximum permissible speed specified for the M+S tires you have mounted.
When you have mounted M+S tires:
Check the tire pressures.
Vehicles for Canada: restart the tire pressure loss warning system.
Vehicles for USA: restart the tire pressure monitor.
WARNING
If you use your spare wheel when M+S tires
are mounted on the other wheels, be aware
that the difference in tire characteristics
impairs cornering ability and reduces driving
stability. Adapt your driving style accordingly.
Have the spare wheel replaced by a normal
wheel with an M+S tire at the nearest
Mercedes-Benz Center.
