Maintenance and care

RThe tires maywearexc essively and/or
une venly, which may greatlyimpair tire
traction.
RThe driving characteristics, as well as
st eering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
#Comply with there commended tire

all tires including the spare wheel regu‐
larly:
Rat least once a month
Rwhen the load changes
Rbefore embarking on a longe r journey
Rif operating conditionschange, e.g. off-

#Ad just the tire pressure as necessar y.
Driving withtire pressure that is too high or too
low can:

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

by highw ayfill, pot holes etc.
In addition, they also suf fer from ir regular

ing properties and the handling characteris‐
tics.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading Standards: a
uniform standard tograde thequ ality of tires
with rega rd totread quality, tire traction and
te mp erature characteristics. The quality grading
assessment is made bythe manufacturer follow‐
ing specifications from theU. S. go vernment. The
qu ality grade of a tire is imprinted on the side
wa ll of the tire.
Re commended tire pressure :th ere commen‐
ded tire pressure is the tire pressure specified
fo rth e tires mounted totheve hicle at thefa c‐
to ry.

ommended tire pressures for cold tires, the max‐
imum permissible load and the maximum per‐
missible vehicle speed.
The tire pressure table conta insthere commen‐
ded tire pressures for cold tires under various
operating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speed

Increased vehicle weight due tooptional
equipment: the combined weight of all standard
and optional equipment available forth eve hicle, re
ga rdless of whe ther it is actually ins talled on
th eve hicle or not.
Rim: the part of the wheel on which the tire is
ins talled.
GA WR (Gross Axle Weight Rating): the GAWR
is the maximum permissible axle load. The
actual load on an axle must ne verexc eed the
gros s axle weight rating. The gross axle
weight
ra ti

ng can be found on theve hicle identification
plate on the B‑pillar on the driver's side.
Speed rating: the speed rating is pa rtof the tire
identification. It specifies the speed range for
which a tire is appr oved.
GV W (Gross Vehicle Weight): the gross vehicle
we ight comprises thewe ight of theve hicle
including fuel, tools, the spare wheel, accesso‐
ri es ins talled, occupants, luggage and the trailer
dr aw bar nose weight, if applicable. The gross
ve hicle weight must not exceed the gross vehicle
we ight rating GVWR as specified on theve hicle
identification plate on the B‑pillar on the driver's
side.
GV WR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating): the
GV WR is the maximum permitted gross weight of
the fully laden vehicle (weight of theve hicle
including all accessories, occupants, fuel, lug‐
ga ge and the trailer dr awbar nose weight if appli‐
cable). The grossve hicle weight rating is speci‐
fi ed on theve hicle identification plate on the
B‑pillar on the driver's side.
Maximum weight of the laden vehicle: the
maximum weight is the sum of the curb weight
of theve hicle, thewe ight of the accessories, the
maximum load and thewe ight of optional equip‐
ment ins talled at thefa ctor y.
