A tyre's condition and inflation pres-
sure influence the following:
• Lifetime of the tyre.
• Driving safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tyre inflation pressures are
shown on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.

advises against the use of
retreaded tyres.
Winter tyres are recommended if
driving in winter conditions.
Although so-called all-season tyres
with an M+S label have better win-
ter characteristics than summer
tyres, they do not normally match
the performance of winter tyres.
If winter tyres are fitted, observe
and do not exceed the respectively
permitted maximum speed.For your own safety, only use
run-flat tyres. There is no spare
wheel available in the event of a
breakdown. Additional information
is available from any authorized

rear wheels or vice versa is not per-
mitted on vehicles with different tyre
or rim dimensions on the front and
rear axles.

inflation pressure indicated on the
tyre's side wall.
Store wheels and tyres in a cool,
dry and dark place when not in use.
