DANGER

If the exhaust pipe is blocked or adequate

ventilation is not possible, poisonous gases

such as carbon monoxide (CO) may enter the

vehicle. This is the case, e.g. if the vehicle

becomes trapped in snow. There is a risk of

fatal injury.

If you leave the engine or the auxiliary heating

running, make sure the exhaust pipe and area

around the vehicle are clear of snow. To

ensure an adequate supply of fresh air, open a

window on the side of the vehicle that is not

facing into the wind.

Have your vehicle winter-proofed at a quali-

fied specialist workshop at the onset of win-

ter.

Drive particularly carefully on slippery road

surfaces. Avoid sudden acceleration, steering

and braking maneuvers. Do not use the cruise

control or DISTRONIC PLUS.

If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot be

stopped when moving at low speed:

Shift the transmission to position N.

Try to bring the vehicle under control using

corrective steering.

The outside temperature indicator is not

designed to serve as an ice-warning device

and is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.

Changes in the outside temperature are dis-

played after a short delay.

Indicated temperatures just above the freez-

ing p

oint do not guarantee that the road sur-

face is free of ice. The road may still be icy,

especially in wooded areas or on bridges.

You should pay special attention to road con-

ditions when temperatures are around freez-

ing point.

For more information on driving with snow

chains, see (

Y page 343).

For more information on driving with summer

tires, see (

Y page 342).

Observe the notes in the "Winter operation"

section (

Y page 342).

Off-road driving

Important safety notes

WARNING

If you drive on a steep incline at an angle or

turn when driving on an incline, the vehicle

could slip sideways, tip and rollover. There is a

risk of an accident.

Always drive on a steep incline in the line of

fall (straight up or down) and do not turn the

vehicle.

WARNING

Flammable material such as leaves, grass or

twigs may ignite if they come into contact with

hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk

of fire.

When driving off road or on unpaved roads,

check the vehicle's underside regularly. In

particular, remove parts of plants or other

flammable materials which have become

trapped. In the case of damage, contact a

qualified specialist workshop.

There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:

the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high

curb or an unpaved road

you drive too fast over an obstacle, e.g. a

curb or a hole in the road

a heavy object strikes the undercarriage

or parts of the chassis

In situations like this, the body, the under-

carriage, chassis parts, wheels or tires

could be damaged without the damage

being visible. Components damaged in this

way can unexpectedly fail or, in the case of

an accident, no longer withstand the strain

they are designed to.

If the underbody paneling is damaged,

combustible materials such as leaves,

grass or twigs can gather between the

underbody and the underbody paneling. If

these materials come in contact with hot

parts of the exhaust system, they can catch

fire.
