beam light is switched on. The brightness of the instrument illumination is set
automatically depending on the ambient lighting throughout. The complete
brightness of the instrument lighting can be set in the Infotainment » Operat-

on page 160 first.
Only fit radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and the same
tread pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When mounting new tyres the tyres have to be replaced axle by axle.
Explanation of tyre markings
For example, 185/65 R 14 86 T means:

The date of manufacture is stated on the tyre wall (possibly on the inside).
For example DOT ... 10 15... means, for example, that the tyre was manufac-
tured in the 10th week of 2015.

Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Winter tyres
164
Snow chains
165
Do not use rims with polished surface during the winter time. Due to the man-
ufacturing the rim surface doe not have sufficient corrosion protection and
could be permanently damaged (e.g. through grit).
Winter tyres
The handling of your vehicle will be significantly improved when driving on
wintry roads if you fit winter tyres (labelled M+S).
To get best possible handling, winter tyres must be used on all four wheels.
The minimum tread depth should be 4 mm.
Re-fit the summer tyres at an appropriate time as they provide better handling
properties, 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.
Speed symbol
Winter tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol
) 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.
On vehicles with the infotainment system with key the speed limit can be
set for winter tyres » Operating instructions Infotainment , chapter CAR - Ad-
just vehicle systems .
For other vehicles, there is the possibility to have the speed limit set for winter
tyres in a specialist workshop.
