Safety
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
spej
cialist
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
road
damage, at
high
speed.
Larger
wheels
have
a
smallertyre
cross-section.
The
smaller
the
tyre
cross-
section,
the
higher
the
risk
of
tyre
damage.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident
and
material
damj age.
If
possible,
drive
around
obstacles
or
drive
over
them
slowly
and
carefully.

Irrespective
of
the
tyre
tread
depth,
change
tyres
after
6
years
at
the
latest.
Date

WARNING
Incorrect
wheel
and
tyre
combinations
impair
the
vehicle's
driving
characteristics
and
interj fere
with
the
proper
functioning
of
various
sysj
tems,
such
as
the
anti-lock
brake
system
ABS or
Dynamic
Stability
Control
DSC.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
To
maintain
good
vehicle
hanj dling,
always
fit
tyres
of
the
same
make
and
tread
pattern
to
all
wheels.
The
manufacturer
of
the
vehicle
recommends
using
wheels
and
tyres
that
have
been
rated
as
suitable
for
the
vehicle
concerned.
After
a
tyre
has
been
damj
aged,
refit
the
same
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
casses.
Their
durability
may
be
reduced
due
to
their
advanced
age.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident. Do
not
use
retreaded
tyres.
The
vehicle
manufacturer
advises
against
theuse
of
retreaded
tyres.
Winter
tyres GeneralWinter
tyres
are
recommended
if
driving
in
winterconditions.
Although
tyres
known
as
all-season
tyres
with
an M+S
label
have
better
winter
characteristics
than summer
tyres,
they
do
not
normally
match
the
performance
of
winter
tyres.
Maximum
speed
of
winter
tyres If
the
vehicle
is
capable
of
maximum
speedshigher
than
the
speed
permitted
for
the
wintertyres,
an
information
label
stating
the
maximumpermitted
speed
for
the
tyres
fitted
must
be
disj
played
in
the
driver's
field
of
view.
The
label
is available
from
a
Service
Partner
of
the

are
fitted,
observe
and
do
not

Swapping
over
front
and
rear
wheels
WARNING
Swapping
of
wheels
between
axles
on
vehicles
with
differently
sized
tyres
or
rims
on
the
front and
rear
cause
tyre
damage
and
damage
to
the
vehicle.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Do
not
swap
over
wheels
between
axles
on
vehicles
with
difj
ferently
sized
tyres
or
rims
on
the
front
and
rear.
Depending
on
the
individual
operating
condij tions,
the
tyre
tread
wears
differently
on
the
front
and
rear
wheels.
To
achieve
even
wear,
the
tyres
can
be
swapped
over
in
pairs
between
the
axles.
Additional
information
is
available
from
a
Service Partner
of
the
manufacturer
or
another
qualified
Service
Partner
or
a
specialist
workshop.
After
swapping
over,
check
the
tyre
inflation
pressure and
adjust
if
necessary.

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
flat
tyre.
Safety
notes
WARNING
A

inflation
presj
sure
or
no
tyre

pressure
at
all
will change
the
vehicle's

there
may
be

when
braking,
longer

distances
and
different
self-steering

WARNING
Continuing
to

can
result
in

Principle
With

For
this
purpose,
liquid
sealant
is
pumped
into
the

which
encloses
the
damage
from
the
inside
when
it
hardens.
