Operation
Winter driving
Always use winter tires at temperatures
below 45°F (7°C) and whenever wintry
road conditions prevail. Use of winter
tires is the only way to achieve the maxi-
mum effectiveness of the ABS and the
ESP in winter operation.
For safe handling, make sure all mount-
ed winter tires are of the same make and
have the same tread design.
When using snow chains, the vehicle
should only be driven at vehicle height
Raised (
page 248).
Snow chains should only be driven on
snow-covered roads at speeds not to ex-
ceed 30 mph (50 km/h). Remove chains
as soon as possible when driving on
roads without snow.
Please observe the following guidelines
when using snow chains:
Using snow chains is not permissible
with all wheel/tire combinations.
Chains should only be used on the
rear wheels. Follow the manufactur-
er's mounting instructions.
Use only snow chains that are ap-
proved by us for use on Maybach ve-
hicles. your authorized Maybach
Studio will be glad to advise you on
this subject.
Use of snow chains may be prohibited
depending on location. Always check
local and state laws before installing
snow chains.
Winter tires
Warning! G
Winter tires with a tread depth under
0.16 in (4 mm) must be replaced. They are
no longer suitable for winter operation.
Warning! G
If you use your spare tire when winter tires
are fitted on the other wheels, be aware
that the difference in tire characteristics
may very well impair turning stability and
that overall driving stability may be re-
duced. Adapt your driving style according-
ly.
Have the spare tire replaced with a winter
tire at the nearest authorized Maybach
Studio.
Snow chains
i
When driving with snow chains, you
may wish to deactivate the ESP
( page 99) before setting the vehi-
cle in motion. This will improve the
vehicle‘s traction.
