Safety notes
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable for the
vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle. For ex‐
ample they could come into contact with the
bodywork on account of their dimensional tol‐
erances, despite having the same nominal size.
There is a risk of accident. The manufacturer of
the vehicle recommends using wheels and
tyres that have been rated as suitable for the
vehicle concerned.
WARNING
Mounted steel wheels can lead to technical
problems, for example wheel bolts may work
loose and brake discs may be damaged. There
is a risk of accident. Do not install steel wheels.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel and tyre combinations will im‐
pair the vehicle's driving characteristics and a
variety of system functions, for example the
Anti-lock Braking System ABS or Dynamic Sta‐
bility Control. There is a risk of accident. To
maintain good vehicle handling, always fit tyres
of the same make and tread pattern to all
wheels. The manufacturer of the vehicle rec‐
ommends using wheels and tyres that have
been rated as suitable for the vehicle type con‐
cerned. After a tyre has been damaged, refit
the same wheel/tyre combination as the origi‐
nal.
WARNING
Unsuitable wheel bolts, such as one-piece
wheel bolts, may loosen or come off. The
wheel may come loose during driving. There is
a risk of accident. Only use two-piece wheel
bolts that have been rated by the vehicle manu‐
