Operating in winter conditions

All-year (or "winter") tyres
All-year or "winter"tyres (indicated by an M+S or a mountain peak/snowflake
symbol ) to improve the performance of the vehicle in winter conditions.
To get the best possible driving characteristics, all-year or "winter"tyres, with a
minimum tread depth of 4 mm on all four wheels, should be fitted.
If "winter" tyres are mounted, summer tyres should be fitted again in good
time as they provide better handling properties, a shorter braking distance,
less tyre noise and reduced tyre wear on roads which are free of snow and ice
as well as at temperatures above 7 °C.
Speed symbol
All-year or "winter"tyres (marked with M+S and a peak/snowflake symbol ) of
a lower speed category than listed in the vehicle's technical documentation
can be used provided that the maximum permissible speed for these tyres is
not exceeded even if the maximum possible speed of the vehicle is higher.
The speed limit for all-season or "winter"Tires can be adjusted in MAXI
