MOBILITY
Do not exceed a maximum distance traveled of
125 miles/200 km.
Fine-link snow chains
The manufacturer of the vehicle recommends
the use of fine-link snow chains. Certain types
of fine-link snow chains have been tested by
the manufacturer of the vehicle and recom-
mended as road-safe and suitable.
Re-initialize the flat tire monitor or reset the
Tire Pressure Monitor.
Replace the faulty tire and the sealant bottle
from the tire repair set as soon as possible.
For information on suitable snow chains, con-
tact an authorized service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop.

Use
System limits
Use is only permitted in pairs on rear wheels
equipped with the tires of the following wheel/
tire sizes:
If the tire cannot be made drivable, contact an
authorized service center or another qualified
service center or repair shop.
Tire size
Wheel size Rim offset (IS)

With Tire Pressure Monitor: Using sealant can
damage the air pressure sensor. In this case,
have the electronics checked and replaced at
the next opportunity.

Information on the wheel size and rim offset is
located on the inside of the wheel.
The list can also include wheel/tire sizes that
are only suitable for certain models.
Snow chains
Safety information
Warning
Information on wheels and tires approved for
the vehicle can be requested from an author-
ized service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop.
Follow the snow chain manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Mounting snow chains on unsuitable tires
can cause the snow chains to come into
contact with vehicle parts. There is a risk of
accident, injury, or property damage. Only
fit snow chains on tires recommended by
the vehicle manufacturer for use with snow
chains.
If vehicle is equipped with Tire Pressure Moni-
tor: When using snow chains, do not reset the
Tire Pressure Monitor, otherwise, incorrect val-
ues may be displayed.
If vehicle is equipped with flat tire monitor:
When using snow chains, do not initialize the
flat tire monitor, otherwise, incorrect values
may be displayed.
Warning
Insufficiently tight snow chains may damage
tires and vehicle components. There is a risk
of accident, injury, or property damage. Make
sure that the snow chains are always suf-
ficiently tight. Re-tighten as needed accord-
ing to the snow chain manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
When driving with snow chains, activate the
drive-off support to optimize the drive power.
Maximum speed with snow chains
Do not exceed a speed of 30 mph/50 km/h
when using snow chains.

Wheels and tires
MOBILITY
Rear-wheel steering during
operation with snow chains
General information
Sensors in the tire valves measure the tire in-
flation pressure and tire temperature.
General information
Depending on the tires detected or registered,
the system displays the specified nominal
pressures on the control display and compares
them with the current tire pressures.
In order to guarantee free movement of the
wheels when operating with snow chains,
rear-wheel steering must be turned off when
snow chains are mounted.
If tires are being used that are not specified
in the tire inflation pressure details on the ve-
hicle such as tires with special approval, the
system needs to be actively reset. The system
will then take over the actual tire inflation pres-
sures as the target pressures.
Rear-wheel steering is switched on again
automatically when the permitted maxi-
mum speed for snow chains is exceeded:
30 mph/50 km/h.
The setting for equipped snow chains can only
be used below 30 mph/50 km/h.
When operating the system, also note the in-
formation found in the Tire inflation pressure
chapter.
Safety information
Additional information:
Tire inflation pressure, refer to page 331.
Warning
When rear-wheel steering is switched on and
snow chains are mounted, there can be con-
tact between snow chains and the body.
There is a risk of accident, injury, or property
damage. With mounted snow chains, switch
off the rear-wheel steering.
Safety information
Warning
The display of the target pressures is not
a substitute for the tire inflation pressure de-
tails on the vehicle. Incorrect entries in the
tire settings can lead to incorrect target tire
inflation pressure values. In this case, it can-
not be guaranteed that the notification of a
tire pressure loss will be reliable. There is a
risk of injury and risk of damage to property.
Make sure that the sizes of your mounted
tires are displayed correctly and match the
information on the tires and the tire inflation
pressure specifications on the vehicle.
Switching off rear-wheel steering
The rear-wheel steering is switched off by
specifying that snow chains are installed.
