Safety notes
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre infla‐
tion pressure may be reduced which in turn
could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
There is a danger of accidents. If you receive a
message indicating tyre damage while you are
driving, immediately reduce speed and bring
the vehicle to a stop. Have the wheels and
tyres checked. To do so, carefully drive to a
Service Partner of the manufacturer or another
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐
shop. If necessary, have the vehicle towed or
transported there.◀
WARNING
If the tyres are damaged, the tyre infla‐
tion pressure may be reduced which in turn
could cause you to lose control of the vehicle.
There is a danger of accidents. Do not repair
damaged tyres, have them renewed instead.◀
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by running
over obstacles, for example kerbs or road dam‐
age, at high speed. Larger wheels have a
smaller tyre cross-section. The smaller the tyre
cross-section, the higher the risk of tyre dam‐
age. There is a danger of accidents and dam‐
age to property. If possible, drive around ob‐
stacles, 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.
Date of manufacture
The date of manufacture of the tyre is indica‐
ted on the tyre sidewall.

Fitting
Have the wheel fitted and balanced by a Serv‐
ice Partner of the manufacturer or another
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐
shop.
Wheel/tyre combination
General
Information on the correct wheel/tyre combina‐
tion and rim designs for the vehicle can be ob‐
tained from a Service Partner of the manufac‐
turer or another qualified Service Partner or a
specialist workshop.
Incorrect wheel/tyre combinations will interfere
with the proper functioning of various systems,
such as ABS or DSC.
To maintain good vehicle handling, always fit
tyres of the same make and tread pattern to all
wheels.
After a tyre has been damaged, ensure that the
original wheel/tyre combination is re-created.
Safety note
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable for
your vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle.
For example they could come into contact with
the bodywork on account of their tolerances,
despite having the same nominal size. There is
a danger of accidents. The manufacturer of the
vehicle recommends using wheels and tyres
that have been categorised as suitable for the
respective vehicle type.◀
