Recommended
tire
brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of the vehi~
cle recommends certain tire brands. These can
be identified by a star on the tire sidewall.
New
tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur~ ing circumstances when tires are brand-new;they achieve their full traction potential after a
break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded
tires The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec~
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
WARNING
Retreaded tires can have different tire
casing structures. With advanced age the serv~ ice life can be limited. There is a risk of an acci~
dent. The manufacturer of your vehicle does
not recommend the use of retreaded tires. '

General
information
The wheels are composed of tires that are self-
supporting to a limited degree.
The support of the sidewall allows the tire to re~
main drivable to a restricted degree in the
event of a tire inflation pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.

For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No
spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.

vehicle.6.With the ignition turned on or the engine
running, switch on the compressor.
Let the compressor run for max. 10 minutes to
fill the tire with sealant and achieve a tire infla~
tion pressure of approx. 2.5 bar.
While the tire is being filled with sealant, the tire inflation pressure may sporadically reach
approx. 5 bar. Do not switch off the compressor
at this point.
