WARNING Risk of an accident due to
insuf ficient tire pressure
Ti re s with pressure that is too low can over‐
heat and bur stas a result.
In addition, they also suf fer from excessive
and/or ir regular wear, which can significantly
impair the braking properties and the han‐
dling characteristics.
#Av oid excessively low tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Tire pressure which is too low can cause:
RTire defects as a result of overheating.
RImpaired handling characteristics
RIrre gular wear
RIncreased fuel consum ption
&
WARNING Risk of accident from exces‐
sive tire pressure
Ti re s with excessively high pressure can
burs t because they are damaged more easily
by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular
we ar, which can significantly impair the brak‐
ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics.
#Av oid excessively high tire pressures in
all the tires, including the spare wheel.
Excessively high tire pressure can result in:
RIncreased braking dis tance
RImpaired handling characteristics

and one-half times aswell on the go vernment
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative per form ance of tires depends upon
th e actual conditions of their use, ho wever,and
may depart significantly from the norm due to
va riations in driving habits, service practices and
dif fere nces in road characteristics and climate
conditions.
Tr action grade
&
DANG ER Risk of accident due toinade‐
qu ate traction
The traction grade assigned tothis tire is
based on stra ight-ahead braking traction
te sts, and does not include either accelera‐
tion, cornering, hydroplaning or peak traction
ch aracteristics.

drive at a speed tosuit the pr evailing
traf fic and weather conditions.

#Av oid wheelspin.
The traction grades – from highest tolowest –
are AA, A,B and C. Those grades represent the
tire's ability tostop on wet pa vement as meas‐
ured under controlled conditions on specified
go vernment test sur faces made of asphalt and
concr ete.
Te mp erature grade
&
WARNING Risk of accident from tire
ove rheating and tire failure
The temp erature grade forth is tire is es tab‐
lished for a tire that is proper ly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐
tion, or excessive loading, either separately
or in combination, can cause excessive heat
build-up and possible tire failure.
#Obser vethere commended tire pres‐
sure s and regularly check the tire pres‐
sure of all tires including the spare
wheel.
#Ad just the tire pressure as necessar y.
Thetemp erature grades are A (the highest), B
and C. They represent the tire's resis tance tothe
ge neration of heat and its ability todissipate
heat when tested under controlled conditions on
a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sus‐
ta ined high temp eratures can cause the material
of the tire todegenerate and reduce tire life. Fur‐
th ermore, excessive temp eratures can lead to
sudden tire failure. Grade C cor responds toa
le ve l of per form ance which all passenger car
tires must meet under therequ irements of the
US Department of Transpor tation.
DO T,Tire Identification Number (TIN)
US tire regulations stipulate that eve rytire man‐
ufactu rer or retreader must imprint a TIN in or
on the side wall of each tire produced.

WARNING ‑ Risk of fire and injury from
antifreeze
If antifreeze comes into con tact wi thhot
component parts in the engine compart‐
ment, it may ignite.
#Allow the engine tocool down before
adding antifreeze.
#Make surethat no antifreeze spills out
next tothefiller opening.
#Thoroughly clean off any antifreeze
from component parts before starting
th eve hicle.

TEOverheating at high outside tem‐
peratures
If an inappro priate coolant is used, the
engine cooling sy stem is not suf ficiently pro‐
te cted against overheating and cor rosion at
high outside temp eratures.
#Alw ays use an appropriate coolant.
Ha ve the coolant regularly changed at a qualified
specialist workshop. The proportion of cor
rosion inhibitor/ antifreeze
concentrate in the engine cooling sy stem should
be:
RA minimum of 50% (antifreeze pr otection
down toappr oximately -35 °F (-37 °C)).
RA maximum of 55% (antifreeze pr otection
down to-49 °F (-45 °C)).
