have
a
smaller
tire
cross- section.
The
smaller
the
tire
cross-section,
thehigher
the
risk
of
tire
damage.
There
may
be
a

Safety
information
Warning
Wheels
and
tires
which
are
not
suitable
for
your vehicle
can
damage
parts
of
the
vehicle,
for
in#j
stance
due
to
contact
with
the
body
due
to
tol#j
erances
despite
the
same
official
size
rating.
There
is
a
risk
of
an
accident.
The
manufac#j
turer
of
your
vehicle
strongly
suggests
that
you

and
damage
to
the
brake
discs.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Do
not
mount
steel
wheels.
Warning
Incorrect
wheel/tire
combinations
will
impair
the vehicle's
handling
characteristics
and
a
variety
of
system
functions,
such
as
the
Antilock
Brak#j
ing
System
(ABS)
or
Dynamic
Stability
Control.
There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
To

good
handling
and
vehicle
response,
use
only
tires
with
a
single
tread
configuration
from
a
single
manufacturer.
The

recommends
that
you
use
wheels
and
tires
that
have
been
recommended
by
the
vehicle
manu#j
facturer

your
vehicle
type.
Following
tire
damage,
have

original
wheel/tire
combina#j
tion
remounted
on
the
vehicle
as
soon
as
pos#j
sible.
Warning
Unsuitable

Recommended
tire
brands
For
each
tire
size,
the
manufacturer
of
the
vehi#j cle
recommends
certain
tire
brands.
The
tire
brands
can
be
identified
by
a
star
on
the
tire
sidewall.
New
tires Tire
traction
is
not
optimal
due
to
production-re#jlated
circumstances
when
tires
are
brand-new.
Drive
conservatively
for
the
first
200
miles/300
km.
Retreaded
tires
Warning
Retreaded
tires
can
have
different
tire
casing structures.
With

life
can
be
limited.
There
is
a

Winter
tires General
information Winter
tires
are
recommended
for
operating
on
winter
roads.
Although
so-called
all-season
tires
with
M+S identification
provide
better
winter
traction
than
summer
tires,
they
usually
do
not
provide
the
same
level
of
performance
as
winter
tires.
Maximum
speed
of
winter
tires
If
the
maximum
speed
of
the
vehicle
is
higher
than
the
permissible
speed
for
the
winter
tires,
then
attach
a
label
showing
the
permissible
maxi#j mum
speed
in
the
field
of
vision.
The
label
is
available
from
a
dealer's
service
center
or
an#j other
qualified
service
center
or
repair
shop.
With
winter
tires
mounted,
observe
and
do
not
exceed
the
permissible
maximum
speed.
Changing
runflat
tires When
changing
from
run-flat
tires
to
standard
tires,
it
must
be
ensured
that
the
vehicle
contains
a
compact
spare
tire
("donut")
or
tire
mobility
kit.

Warning
Rotating
tires
between
the
axles
on
vehicles with
different
tire
sizes
or
rim
sizes
on

and
rear
axles
can
cause
damage
to
the
tires
and
the

There
is
a
risk
of
accident.
Do not

and
rear
axles
depending
on
individual
driving
conditions.
The
tires
can
be
rotated
in
pairs
be#j

to
achieve
even
wear.
Further
