users. #
Always comply with the permitted load
when using thera ck. &
WARNING Swerving of theve hicle/
trailer combination due toinc reased
speed
If th eve hicle/trailer combination swer ves,
yo u can lose control of it.
The vehicle/trailer combination can even tip
ove r. #
Under no ci rcums tances should you try
to inc rease the speed tostra ighten the
ve hicle/trailer combination. #
Reduce speed and do not counter-s teer. #
If necessar y,apply the brakes. &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
brake sy stem overheating
If yo u lea veyour foot on the brake pedal
when driving, the brake sy stem may overheat.
This increases the braking dis tance and the

Never use the brake pedal as a foot re st. #
Do not depress the brake pedal and the
accelerator pedal at the same time
while driving. &
WARNING Danger of accident due to
unsuitable ball coupling
If yo u ins tall an unsuitable ball coupling, over‐
loading of the trailer hitch and rear axle will
be there sult. This is particularly the case if
th e ball coupling is relatively long or angled
dif fere ntl y.
The handling characteristics may be heavily
impaired and the trailer can become
de tach ed. There is a risk of fata l injur y. #

WARNING Risk of inju rythro ugh dif fer‐
ent wheel sizes
Inter changing the front and rear wheels if the
wheels or tires ha vediffere nt dimensions may
se verely impair the driving characteristics.
The wheel brakes or wheel suspension com‐
ponents may also be damaged. #
Rotate front and rear wheels only if the
wheels and tires are of the same dimen‐
sions. On
vehicles that ha vethe same size front and
re ar wheels, rotate the wheels according tothe
inter vals in the tire manufacturer's warranty book
in your vehicle documents. If this is not available,
ro tate the tires every3,000 (5,000) to
6,000 miles (10,000 km), depending on the
degree of wear. Ensure that the direction of rota‐
tion is maintained.
It is imperati vetoobser vethe instructions and
saf ety no tes on "Changing a wheel" when doing
so. Wheel size categories of wheels
The de
term ined vehicle speed is displa yed in the
instrument clus ter and is impor tant for control‐
ling the driving saf ety sy stems and driving sys‐
te ms. The display accuracy of the speedome ter
and the odome ter is legally prescribed. De term in‐
ing the speed is dependent on the tire size or the
ro lling circumference of the tires. The rim diame‐
te r is alw ays specified in inches.
Fo rth is reason, theve hicle contro l units can be
coded forth efo llowing wheel size categories:
Wheel size category 3

recommends that youstay
within a wheel size category when changing a
tire. In this wa y,yo uav oid recoding the con‐
trol units.
If yo uch ange the wheel size of your vehicle, for
ins tance when changing wheels for winter opera‐
tion, check that it is assigned tothe cor rect
wheel size catego ry. If the wheel size category
ch anges, you must ha veyour vehicle's control
units recoded at a qualified specialist workshop.
Otherwise, the display accuracy of the speedom‐
et er and the odome ter will be outside the legally
prescribed tolerance. It may also be lo wer,i.e.
th e cur rent road speed is then higher than the
speed shown on the speedome ter.If a deviation
is outside thera nge of tolerance, driving saf ety
sy stems and driving sy stems may be operation‐
ally impaired or may de tect a malfunction and
switch themselves off. 326
