WARNING
The
inflation
pressures
on
the
tyre
label
are
apj
plicable
only
for
tyres
explicitly
mentioned
on
the
label.

but
not

Checking
the
tyre
inflation
pressure
General Tyres
heat
up
while
driving.
The
tyre
inflation
pressure
increases
with
the
temperature
of
the tyre.
Tyres
have
a
natural,
uniform
loss
of
tyre
inflation
pressure.
Inflating
devices
can
display
a
pressure
that
may be
up
to
0.1
bar
too
low.
Checking

inflation
pressure
inscriptions
on
the
door

The
tyre
inflation
pressure
inscriptions
on
the
tyre
inflation

sign
on
the
door
pillar
only
relate
to
cold
tyres
or
tyres
at
the
same

as
the
ambient
temperature.
Only
check
the
tyre
inflation
pressures
when
the
tyres
are
cold,
i.e.:
'xIf
the
vehicle
has
been
driven
a
distance
of
no
more
than
2
km,
1.25
miles.'xIf
the

has
not
moved
again
for
at

hours
after
a
journey.1.Determine
the
specified
tyre
inflation
presj
sures
for
the
tyres
when
fitted
to
the
vehicle.2.Check
the
tyre
inflation
pressure
in
all
four tyres,
using
a
pressure
gauge,
for
example.3.Correct
the
tyre
inflation
pressure
if
the
curjrent
tyre
inflation
pressure
deviates
from
the
specified

notes
WARNING
If
the
tyres
are
damaged,
the
tyre
inflation
presj sure
may
be
reduced,
which
in
turn
could
cause
you
to
lose
control
of
the
vehicle.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
If
you
suspect
tyre
damage
while
you
are
driving,
immediately
reduce
speed
and
bring
the
vehicle
to
a
stop.
Have
the
wheels
and
tyres
checked.
To
do
so,
carefully
drive
to
a
Service
Partner
of
the
manufacturer
or
another
qualified
Service
Partner
or
a

workshop.
If
necessary,
have
the
vehicle towed
or
transported
there.
Do
not
repair
damj
aged
tyres.
Have
them
replaced.
WARNING
Tyres
can
become
damaged
by
running
over
obstacles,
for
example
kerbs
or

The
smaller
the

section,
the
higher
the
risk
of
tyre
damage.
There
is
a

Safety
notes
WARNING
Wheels
and

that
are
not
suitable
for
your
vehicle
can
damage
parts
of
the
vehicle.
For
exj ample
they
could

on
account
of
their
dimensional
toljerances,
despite
having
the

is
a
risk
of
accident.
The
manufacturer
ofthe
vehicle
recommends
using
wheels
and
tyres
that
have
been
categorised
as
suitable
for
the
vehicle
concerned.
WARNING
Incorrect
wheel/tyre
combinations
impair
the vehicle's
handling
characteristics
and
interfere
with
the
proper
functioning
of
various
systems,
such
as
the
Anti-lock
Brake
System
or
Dyj

Stability
Control.
There
is
a
risk
of

To
maintain
good
vehicle
handling,
alj
ways
fit
tyres
of
the
same
make
and

pattern
to
all

The
manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
recommends
using
wheels
and
tyres
that
have
been
categorised
as
suitable
for
the
vehicle
concerned.
After
a
tyre
has
been
damj
aged,
refit
the

wheel/tyre
combination
as
the
original.
Recommended
makes
of
tyre
Certain
makes
of
tyre
are
recommended
by
the
manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
for
each
tyre
size. The
tyre
brands
can
be
identified
by
a
star
on
the
side
wall
of
the
tyre.
New
tyres Due
to
the
manufacturing
process,
new
tyres
donot
achieve
their
full
road
grip
immediately.
Drive
moderately
for
the
first
300
km,
200
miles.
Retreaded
tyres
WARNING
Retreaded
tyres
may
have
different
tyre
carj

Their
durability
may
be
reduced
with increasing

are
recommended
if
driving
in
winter
conditions.
Although
tyres
known
as
all-season
tyres
with
an M+S
label
have
better
winter
characteristics
thansummer

wheels
between
axles
on
vej
hicles
with
different
tyre
sizes
or
rim
dimenj sions
on
the
front
and

occur
on
the

depending
on
the
individual
operating
conditions.
To
achieve
even

the
tyres
can
be
swapped

in pairs
between

Tyre
storage
Store
wheels
and

in
a
cool,
dry
and
dark place
when
not
in
use.
Protect
the

Run-flat
tyres
Principle
In
the
event
of
a
complete
loss
of
tyre
inflation
pressure,
run-flat
tyres
enable
you
to
continue driving,
with
certain
restrictions.
General
The
wheels
are
fitted
with
tyres
which
are
self-
supporting
to
a
limited
degree.
They
may
also
have
special
rims.
The
reinforced
side
wall
means
that
the
tyre keeps
the
vehicle
mobile
to
a
degree
even
if
tyre
inflation
pressure
has
been
lost.
Observe
the
notes
on
continuing
to
drive
with
a
