At low outside temperatures or in wet conditions, a noise may be produced at the outer wheel on the front axle while
maneuvering with sharp steering angles.
Note:
AMG vehicles with 4MATIC of model series 217 (without code 494) and model series 222 have a modified axle geometry compared to production vehicles to provide more sporty handling.
The problem cannot be remedied by changing the axle settings.
Remedy:
Convert the vehicle to winter tires (service not covered by W&G).
Note (extract from the owner's manual):
Winter operation => Driving with summer tires:
...Summer tires lose a significant amount of their flexibility at low temperatures...
Convert your vehicle to M&S tires....
