186Vehicle carematched to this tyre and wheel
position. The next relevant turn
signal illuminates.
6. Proceed to the right front tyre, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
7. Proceed to the right rear tyre, and
repeat the procedure in Step 5.
8. Proceed to the left rear tyre, and repeat the procedure in Step 5.
The horn sounds twice to indicate
the sensor identification code has been matched, and the tyre
pressure sensor matching
process is no longer active.
9. Turn off the ignition.
10. Set all four tyres to the recommended inflation pressure
3 212.
Tread depth Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).For safety reasons it is recommended
that the tread depth of the tyres on
one axle should not vary by more than
2 mm.
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread wear
indicators (TWI). Their position is
indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than
the rear, swap round front wheels and rear wheels. Ensure that the direction
of rotation of the wheels is the same
as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.
We recommend tyre replacement
every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tyre pressure and make other vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
If wheel rims of a different type are to
be installed, the wheel nuts may also
need to be changed. We recommend you consult a workshop.
Vehicle care187Wheel covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used are
not factory approved, the tyres must
not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.9 Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Tyre chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on the
front wheels.
They must be fitted to the tyres
symmetrically in order to achieve a
concentric fit.
9 Warning
Damage may lead to tyre blowout.
Special snow chains are only
permitted when they are designed
with a rotating chain belt on the tyre
tread, no chain links on the wheel
inboard sides and the chains add no
more than 12 mm to the tyre tread.
For further information regarding
correct snow chain usage for the tyre
size, contact a specialised vehicle
parts dealer or snow chain
manufacture. Tyre chains are only
permitted on tyres of size
235/60 R17 and 235/55 R18.General
The use of tyre chains is not permitted on the temporary spare wheel.
Tyre repair kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread or
sidewall can be repaired with the tyre
repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that
is at the tyre's sidewall near the rim
cannot be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
In vehicles with a tyre repair kit, there may not be a jack and vehicle tool kit.
