Wheels and tyres
Tyre condition, wheel condition Drive over edges slowly and at right
angles if possible. Driving over sharp
edges can cause tyre and wheel
damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb
when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for
damage. Seek the assistance of a
workshop in the event of damage or
unusual wear.
Winter tyres Winter tyres improve driving safety attemperatures below 7 °C and shouldtherefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 215/70 R 16 are
recommended as winter tyres.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.
If winter tyres are installed that have
not been approved for your vehicle,
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
system performance may be affected3 139. Seek the assistance of a
workshop regarding availability of
approved winter tyres.
If winter tyres are in use, the
temporary spare wheel may still be
fitted with a summer tyre. Vehicle
driveability could be affected,
especially on slippery road surfaces.

Vehicle care193
Turn key to ignition switch position
ACC and release the electrical
parking brake before towing the
vehicle.Caution
Drive slowly. Do not drive jerkily.
Excessive tractive force can
damage the vehicle.
When the engine is not running,
considerably more force is needed to
brake and steer.
Keep tow rope clear of front bumper, and ensure it is securely fixed to the
towing eye at both ends. Pull on the tow rope to check.
To prevent the entry of exhaust gases from the towing vehicle, switch on the
air recirculation system 3 116 and
close the windows.
Vehicles with manual transmission:
The vehicle must be towed facing
forwards. The maximum speed is
55 mph. In all other cases, and when
the transmission is defective, the front axle must be raised off the ground.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
Do not tow the vehicle using the
towing eye. Towing with a tow rope
could cause severe damage to the
transmission. When towing a vehicle
with automatic transmission, use flat
bed or wheel lift equipment.
Seek the assistance of a workshop.
After towing, unscrew the towing eye
and replace the spoiler lip. Store
towing eye in the storage
compartment below the floor cover in the load compartment.
Vehicle tools 3 175.Towing another vehicle
Remove the cover located on the rear
bumper by pressing the lower part of
the cover.
The rear towing eye attachment is
stored below the floor cover in the
load compartment.
Screw the rear towing eye attachment
anticlockwise using a suitable
screwdriver, until it is firmly in place
and stops in a horizontal position.
Attach a tow rope – or better still a tow
rod – to the rear towing eye.
