WARNING
The improved winter driving characteristics
aff orded by the winter tyres should not en-
courage you to take any risks.
Exceeding the speed limitation of winter
tyres can cause the tyres to fail suddenly
and the vehicle to lose control.
x Never disregard the speed limitation of
the winter tyres fitted, even if the per-
missible top speed of the vehicle is high-
er.
x Never exceed the maximum payload of
the winter tyres that are fitted.
x Adapt your speed and driving style to
suit visibility, weather, road and traffic
conditions. The vehicle handling is better if sum-
mer tyres are fitted at temperatures

If the vehicle exceeds the gross vehicle
weight rating or the rear axle load, the v
ehi-
cle speed must not exceed 80 km/h when
towing a trailer. This also applies to countries
where higher speeds are permitted. Observe
local speed limits. These may be lower for ve-
hicles with trailers than for vehicles without
trailers.
Any permitted excess loads for the vehicle
are entered in the vehicle documents. If no
excess load has been entered, it is possible to
drive up to 100 km/h, although local regula-
tions must be observed.
