Safety
information
Warning
A
tire
with

specifications
for
the
specified
tire

values
apply
to
tire
sizes
approved
by
the

please
note
the
following:'xTire
sizes
of
your
vehicle.'xMaximum
permitted
driving
speed.
On

can
be
displayed
on
the
Control Display.
To
ensure
that
they
are
displayed
correctly,
the tire
