RSpecifyingthe speedrating asthe "ZR" indexin tire code4is optionalfor tires upto186mph (300 km/h).
RIfyour tire code4includes "ZR" andthereis no speedrating7,find out whatthe max‐imum speed is fromthe tire manufacturer.
RIf load-bearing index6and speedrating7are in brackets,the maximum speedrating ofyour tire is above186mph (300 km/h).Tofind outthe maximum speed, askthe tiremanufacturer.

UniformTireQuality GradingStandards:auniformstandardtogradethequality of tireswithregardtotreadquality,tire traction andtemperaturecharacteristics. Thequality gradingassessment is madebythe manufacturerfollow‐ing specifications fromtheU.S. government. Thequalitygrade of a tire is imprinted onthe sidewall ofthe tire.
Recommended tire pressure:therecommen‐ded tire pressure isthe tire pressure specifiedforthe tires mountedtothevehicle atthefac‐tory.
The tire and informationtable containstherec‐ommended tire pressuresfor cold tires,the max‐imum permissible load andthe maximum per‐missiblevehicle speed.
The tire pressuretable containstherecommen‐ded tire pressuresfor cold tires undervariousoperating conditions, i.e. loading and/or speedofthevehicle.

regardless of whether it is actually installed onthevehicle or not.
Rim:the part ofthe wheel on whichthe tire isinstalled.

Maximum load on one tire:maximum load onone tire. This is calculatedbydividingthe maxi‐mum axle load of one axlebytwo.
PSI (pounds per square inch):standard unit ofmeasurementfor tire pressure.
Aspectratio:ratio between tire height and tirewidth in percent.
Tirepressure:pressure insidethe tire applyingan outwardforcetoeverysquare inch ofthe tire.The tire pressure is specified in pounds persquare inch (psi), in kilopascals (kPa) or in bar.The tire pressure should only be corrected whenthe tires are cold.
Cold tire pressure:the tires are cold whenthevehicle has been parkedfor at least3 hours
without direct sunlight onthe tires orthevehiclehas been drivenfor lessthan 1 mile (1.6 km).
Tirecontact surface:the part ofthe tirethatcomes into contact with theroad.
Tirebead:the purpose ofthe tire bead istoensurethatthe tire sits securely onthe wheelrim. There are several wire cores inthe tire beadtopreventthe tire fromchanging length onthewheelrim.
Sidewall:the part ofthe tire betweenthe treadandthe tire bead.
Weight of optional equipment:the combinedweight ofthe optional equipmentweighing morethanthereplacedstandard parts and morethan5 lbs (2.3kg).This optional equipment, such ashigh-performance brakes, level control system, aroof luggagerackor high-performance batteries,is not included inthe curbweight andtheweightofthe accessories.
TIN (Tire IdentificationNumber):a uniqueidentification number which can be usedby atire manufacturertoidentify tires,forexample,in a productrecall, andthus identifythe pur‐chasers. The TIN is made up ofthe manufactur‐
er's identity code, tire size, tire type code andthe manufacturing date.
Load-bearing index:the load-bearing index is acodethat containsthe maximum load-bearingcapacity of a tire.
Traction:traction isthe gripresulting from fric‐tion betweenthe tires andtheroad surface.
Wear indicator:narrowbars (treadwear bars)that are distributedoverthe tire contact surface.Ifthe tire tread is level withthe bars,thewearlimit of 1/16in (1.6 mm) has beenreached.
Distribution ofvehicle occupants:distributionofvehicle occupantsover designated seat posi‐tions in avehicle.
Maximum permissible payloadweight:nomi‐nal load and luggage load plus150 lb (68kg)multipliedbythe number of seats inthevehicle.

*The front passenger airbag and knee airbags are enabled duringthe journey:
Reven when achild, a small adult or an objectweighing lessthanthe systemweightthreshold is located onthefront passenger seat
Reven whenthe front passenger seat is not occupied
The system may detect objects orforcesthat are addingtotheweight appliedtothe seat.
\nWARNINGRisk of injuryorfatal injury when using achildrestraint system whilethe front passenger air bagis enabled
Ifyou secure achild in achildrestraint system onthe front passenger seat andthe front passenger air bag isenabled,the front passenger air bag can deploy intheevent of an accident.

If necessary,consult aqualified specialistworkshop immediately.
Front Passenger Airbag Dis-abled See Operator's Man-ual
*The front passenger airbag andthe knee airbag are deactivated, although an adult or a person with an adultstatureis onthe front passenger seat. If additionalforces are appliedtothe seat,theweightthe system detects may betoo low.
\nWARNINGRisk of injuryorfatal injury duetoa disabled front passenger airbag
Ifthe front passenger airbag is disabled,the front passenger airbag will not be deployed intheevent of an acci‐dent and cannotperformits intended protective function.
A person inthe front passenger seat couldthen,forexample, come into contact with thevehicle's interior,especially ifthe person is sittingtoo closetothe cockpit.
Make sure, bothbefore and duringthe journey,thatthestatus ofthe front passenger airbag is correct.
