Tread wear indicators
A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear
indicator is flush with the tread.
The tread depth can be measured using a tread
depth gauge on the ice scraper. The ice scraper is lo-
cated on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
Do not use worn tyres.
▶
Tyre manufacturing date
The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre
sidewall.
For example, DOT ... 10 19 means that the tyres were
produced in the 10th week of the year 2019.
WARNING
Risk of an accident!
Do not use tyres that are older than 6 years.
▶
Wear indicators are loca-
ted in the profile of the
tyres that display the
permissible minimum
tread depth.
Markings on the walls of
the tyres with the letters
"TWI" or other symbols
(e.g.
) indicate the po-
sition of the wear indica-
tors.

All-season or winter tires
Usage
All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winter
weather conditions. They are characterised by 'M+S'
and a mountaintop and snowflake symbol
What you should be mindful of
For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-
priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and
braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads
and at temperatures above 7 °C.
Usage conditions
If all-season or winter tyres are installed that have a
lower speed category than the actual specified maxi-
mum vehicle speed, then proceed as follows.
›
In infotainment, set the speed limit according to
the category of tyres fitted.
›
In the driver's field of view, affix a warning label
with the maximum value of the speed category in-
tended for the tyres fitted (applies only to certain
countries).
Settings
The speed limit setting for tyres is set in the infotain-
ment in the following menu item.
