WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by running over
obstacles, for example kerbs or road damage,
at high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller
tyre cross-section. The smaller the tyre cross-
section, the higher the risk of tyre damage.
There is a danger of accidents and damage to
property. If possible, drive around obstacles, or
drive over them slowly and carefully.
Age of tyres
Recommendation
Irrespective of the tyre tread depth, change the
tyres after 6 years at the latest.

The date of manufacture of the tyre is indicated
on the tyre sidewall.

Wheels and tyres
Safety notes
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable for your
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 danger of accidents. The manufac‐
turer of the vehicle recommends using wheels
and tyres that have been categorised as suita‐
ble for the respective vehicle type.
WARNING
Mounted steel wheels can lead to technical
problems, for example wheel studs may work
loose or brake discs may be damaged. There is
a danger of accidents. Do not install steel
wheels.
WARNING
Incorrect wheel/tyre combinations impair the
vehicle's driving properties and interfere with
the proper functioning of various systems,
such as ABS or DSC. There is a danger of acci‐
dents. To maintain good vehicle handling, al‐
ways fit tyres of the same make and tread pat‐
tern to all wheels. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels and tyres
that have been categorised as suitable for the
respective vehicle type. After a tyre has been
damaged, refit the same wheel/tyre combina‐
tion as the original.
