Winter Tyres

This vehicle was not originally
equipped with winter tyres. Winter
tyres are designed for increased
traction on snow and ice-covered
roads. Consider installing winter
tyres on the vehicle if frequent
driving on ice or snow covered
roads is expected. See your dealer
for details regarding winter tyre
availability and proper tyre
selection. Also, see Buying New
Tyres 0 256.
With winter tyres, there may be
decreased dry road traction,
increased road noise and shorter
tread life. After changing to winter
tyres, be alert for changes in the
vehicle handling and braking.
If using winter tyres:
Use tyres of the same brand and
tread type on all four wheel
positions.
Use only radial ply tyres of the
same size, load range and
speed rating as the original
equipment tyres.
Winter tyres with the same speed
rating as the original equipment
tyres may not be available for H, V,
W, Y and ZR speed rated tyres.
If winter tyres with a lower speed
rating are chosen, never exceed the
tyre's maximum speed capability.

Run-Flat Tyres

This vehicle, when new, had run-flat
tyres. There is no spare tyre, no tyre
changing equipment and no place to
store a tyre in the vehicle.
The vehicle also has a Tyre
Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
that indicates a loss of tyre pressure
in any of the tyres.
Warning
If the low tyre warning light
displays on the instrument cluster,
the handling capabilities will be
reduced during severe
manoeuvres. Driving too fast
could cause loss of control and
you or others could be injured. Do
