tance" section (Y page 337). Information on
driving with MOExtended tyres in the event of a flat tyre can be found under "Breakdown assis-
tance" (Y page 337).
Vehicles with an emergency spare wheel: in
the event of aflat tyre, the emergency spare
wheel is fitted according to the description
under "Fitting awheel" (Y page 362). Interchanging the wheels
G
WARNING
Interchanging the front and rear wheels may
severely impair the driving characteristics if
the wheels or tyres have different dimensions. The wheel brakes or suspension components may also be damaged. There is arisk of acci-
dent.
Interchange front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tyres are of the same dimensions. !
On vehicles fitted with
atyre pressure mon-
itor, electronic componentsa re located in the
wheel.
Tyre-fitting tools should not be applied in the area of the valve, as this could damage the
electronic components.
Only have tyres changed at aqualified spe-
cialist workshop.
Interchanging the front and rear wheels of dif-
fering dimensions can render the general oper-
ating permit invalid.
Observe the instructionsa nd safety notes in the
"Fitting awheel" section (Y page 362).
The wear patterns on the front and rear tyres
differ depending on the operating conditions.
Interchange the wheels before aclear wear pat-
tern has formed on the tyres. Front tyres typi-
cally wear more on the shoulders and the rear
tyres in the centre.
On vehicles that have the same size front and
rear wheels, you can interchange the wheels
every 5,000 to 10,000 km depending on the
degree of tyre wear. Ensure the direction of
rotation is maintained.
Cleant he contact surfaces of the wheel and the
brake disc thoroughly every time awheel is
interchanged. Check the tyre pressure and, if
necessary, restart the tyre pressure loss warn-
ing system (Y page 358) or the tyre pressure
monitor (Y page 360). Direction of rotation
Tyres with aspecified direction of rotation have
additional benefits, e.g. if there is arisk of aqua-
planing. These advantages can only be gained if
the tyres are fitted corresponding to the direc-
tion of rotation.
An arrow on the sidewall of the tyre indicates its correct direction of rotation. Storing wheels
Store wheels in acool, dry and preferably dark
place if they are not being used. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel. Changing
