Unidirectional tyres
Some tires may be directional. The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked
by arrows on the wall of the tyre.
The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded.
▶ Driving stability.
▶ Traction.
▶ Tyre noise and tyre wear.
Tires with increased resistance to air loss when punctured
Some vehicles may be fitted with tyres at the factory that have increased
puncture resistance (so-called "SEAL" tyres). For some countries, vehicles are
equipped with "SEAL" tyres delivered without a spare wheel and appropriate
tools.
If "SEAL"tyres are replaced with standard tyres, the vehicle must be retrofit-
ted with a puncture repair kit or spare wheel and appropriate hand tools.
WARNING
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about the condition and age.
■
Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
■
CAUTION
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances such as oil,
■
grease and fuel, which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with
these substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a special-
ist workshop.
Do not use rims with ground or polished surface in winter conditions - there
■
is a risk of wheel damage (e.g. from the road grit).
Note
We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres is carried out by a spe-
■
cialist garage.
We recommend that you use wheel rims, tyres, full wheel trims and snow

Tyre pressure
Fig. 336 Label with a table of tyre sizes and tyre pressure value / inflate
tyres
The prescribed tyre inflation is on the sticker with pictograms
some countries, the pictograms are replaced with a text).
Tyre pressure is always to match the load.
Inflation pressure for half load
B
Inflation pressure for environmentally friendly operation (slightly lower
C
fuel consumption and emissions)
Inflation pressure for full load
D
Tyre diameter in inches
E
This information serves merely as information for the prescribed tyre
pressure. This is not a list of shared tyre sizes for your vehicle. These are in
the vehicle's technical documentation, as well as in the declaration of con-
formity (in so-called COC document).

Check tyre pressures
Check the tyre pressure (including that of the emergency or spare wheel) at
least once a month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce
the higher pressure of warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed
