Wheels and Tires – Overview
Tire/wheel rim combinations
The following tire/wheel rim combinations are
available:
• 235/60 R16 V – 6.5X16 (*)
• 235/55 R17 V – 7.0X17 (*)
• 235/55 R17 V – 7.5X17 (*)
• 235/50 R18 V – 7.5X18
• 235/45 R19 V – 8.0X19
(*) Also available as tires with run-flat capabilities.
Use of snow chains
Snow chains are only approved for use with size
235/60R16 tires.
Fine chains with a link thickness of 10mm may be
used at speeds of up to 50 km/h (please refer to
the manufacturer's instructions).
Coarser chains with a link thickness of 11 to 14
mm may be used at speeds of up to 40 km/h
(please refer to the manufacturer's instructions).
Tire repair kit
If the tires used do not have run-flat properties then
the vehicle will be equipped with a tire repair kit.
A tire repair kit is located in the spare wheel well
in the luggage compartment.
The tire repair kit consists of:
• a compressor with a pressure gauge,
• a lead for voltage supply via the cigar lighter,
• an air hose,
• tire sealant.
A tire filled with tire sealant must be replaced with
a new tire after 200 km at the latest. Read and
observe the instructions regarding the tire low
pressure sensors (see lesson 4 – Tire pressure
monitoring system).
Instructions on handling and using the tire repair
kit can be found in a separate operating manual
that is enclosed with the tire repair kit.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) – Overview
Description of operation
The tire pressure monitoring system is able to
detect loss of air in a tire at an early stage and warn
the driver. Because it can only compare the
behavior of the tires with each other, it is not
possible to draw conclusions about the absolute
tire pressure. It is also not possible to monitor the
spare tire pressure. In order for the system to
operate correctly, the tire pressures must be
regularly checked and corrected and the system
subsequently initialized (see below).
The tire pressure monitoring system used here,
depending on the equipment level, is built into the
anti-lock braking system (ABS) as an extra function
and therefore does not have its own sensors.
The ABS module determines the loss of pressure
in the tires by calculation using the wheel speed
sensors of the ABS system. If a tire loses pressure,
its diameter decreases and the speed of the wheel
therefore increases. If the ABS module detects
such a loss in pressure, it sends a signal to the
instrument cluster via the CAN bus and a warning
message is displayed in the driver information
system. The warning threshold depends among
other things on the dimension of the tires being
used, the vehicle operating conditions and the
status at the last initialization. Since neither the
absolute tire pressure nor the position of the tire is
known, after a tire pressure warning the pressure
of all the tires must be checked and the system
re-initialized. If necessary, the cause of the loss of
pressure must be investigated.
Furthermore, regular pressure checks are
necessary. The system must be initialized after a
tire is changed, winter or summer tires fitted, the
pressures corrected or adjusted to suit the vehicle
load. This can be done by the driver using the
driver information system. For further information,
see: Owner’s Manual.

The Haldex clutch is based on the principle of a
simple wet clutch that distributes the torque variably
between the front and rear axles.
Three components are linked within the Haldex
clutch:• A mechanical component, comprising input and
output shafts, the plate assembly (clutch) as
well as the cam plate and the roller bearing.
• A hydraulic component, essentially comprising pressure valves, a pressure accumulator, the
control valve, the ring pistons and a fluid filter.
• The electronic control comprises the electric fluid pump and the all-wheel drive control unit
with integrated pressure/temperature sensor
and an actuator motor for the control valve.
