Note■The headlights may mist up temporarily. When the driving lights are switched
on, the light outlet areas are free from condensation after a short time, al-
though the headlight lenses may still be misted up around the edge. This mist
has no influence on the life of the lighting system.■
If the visibility is poor and the lights are not on (except daytime running
light), the brightness of the instrument lighting reduces to alert the driver to
switch on the lights in due time.
■
The brightness of the instrument lighting with the lights on (except daytime
running lights) can be set in the Infotainment » Owner's Manual Infotainment ,
chapter CAR - Vehicle Settings .

Tyre labelRead and observe
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:
185Tyre width in mm65Height/width ratio in %RCode letter for the type of tyre – Radial14Diameter of wheel in inches86Load indexTSpeed symbol
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.
Load index
The load index indicates the maximum permissible load bearing capacity for
each individual tyre.

Winter use
Introduction
This chapter contains information on the following subjects:
Winter tyres
164
Snow chains
165
Do not use alloys rims with smoothed or polished surface during the winter
time. The rim surface does 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 » Owner´s Manual Infotainment , chapter CAR - Adjust ve-
hicle systems .
For other vehicles, there is the possibility to have the speed limit set for winter
tyres in a specialist workshop.
