Winter tyres
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 173.
Fitting winter tyres will significantly improve the handling of your vehicle when
driving in wintry road conditions. Summer tyres have less grip on ice, snow and at
temperatures below 7 °C. This is especially true of vehicles fitted with wide tyres
or high-speed tyres.
In order to achieve the best possible handling properties, winter tyres must be fit-
ted on all four wheels, the minimum tread depth must be 4 mm and tyres must be
no older than 4 years.
Winter tyres of a lower speed category can be used provided that the permissible
maximum speed of these tyres is not exceeded even if the possible maximum
speed of the vehicle is higher.
The speed limit for winter tyres can be set in the MAXI DOT display in the menu
item Winter tyres » page 26.
For the sake of the environment
Fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they provide better handling prop-
erties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and reduced tyre wear on roads
which are free of snow and ice as well as at temperatures above 7 °C. The fuel
consumption is also lower.
Snow chains
First read and observe the introductory information given on page 173.
When driving in wintry road conditions, snow chains improve not only traction,
but also the braking performance.
Snow chains must only be mounted on the front wheels.
For technical reasons, it is only permissible to fit snow chains with the following
wheel/tyre combinations.
Wheel size
Depth (D) Tyre size
5J x 14
a)
35 mm 175/70
6J x 15
b)
38 mm 185/60
6J x 15
b)
38 mm 195/55
a)
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 9 mm.
b)
Only fit snow chains with links and locks not larger than 13 mm.
CAUTION
The chains must be removed when driving on roads which are free of snow.
They adversely affect the handling of your vehicle, damage the tyres and are rap-
idly destroyed.
Remove the full wheel trims before installing the snow chains.
