212Vehicle careWheels 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.
We recommend not swapping the
front wheels with the rear wheels and
vice versa, as this can affect vehicle
stability. Always use less worn tyres
on the rear axle.
Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 252.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.Tyre designations
E.g. 195/55 R 16 95 H195:tyre width, mm55:cross-section ratio (tyre height
to tyre width), percentageR:belt type: RadialRF:type: RunFlat16:wheel diameter, inches95:load index e.g. 95 is equivalent

Choose a tyre appropriate for the
maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.
Performance 3 246.
Directional tyres
Directional tyres must be mounted so that they rotate in the correct
direction. The proper rotation
direction is indicated by a symbol
(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.
Tyre pressure
Check the pressure of cold tyres at
least every 14 days and before any
long journey. Do not forget the spare
wheel.
This also applies to vehicles with tyre
pressure monitoring system.
Unscrew the valve cap.

Vehicle IdentificationNumber
The Vehicle Identification Number is
stamped on the identification plate
and on the floor pan, under the floor
covering, visible under a cover.
The Vehicle Identification Number
may be embossed on the instrument
panel, visible through the windscreen,
or in the engine compartment on the
right body panel.

The identification plate is located on
the left or right door frame.

specific data
The combined total of front and rear
axle loads must not exceed the
permissible gross vehicle weight. For
example, if the front axle is bearing its
maximum permissible load, the rear
axle can only bear a load that is equal
to the gross vehicle weight minus the front axle load.
The technical data is determined in
accordance with European
Community standards. We reserve

Specifications in the vehicle
documents always have priority over
those given in this manual.
Engine identification
The technical data tables use the
engine identifier code. The engine
data table additionally shows the
engineering code. Engine data
3 244.
To identify the respective engine,
refer to the EEC Certificate of
Conformity provided with your vehicle
or other national registration
documents.
The Certificate of Conformity shows
the engine identifier code, other
national publications may show the
engineering code. Check piston
displacement and engine power to
identify the respective engine.
