Mobility
Recommended makes of tyre
Certain makes of tyre are recommended by the
manufacturer of the vehicle for each tyre size.
The tyre brands can be identified by a star on
the side wall of the tyre.
New tyres
New tyres do not achieve their full road
grip immediately, for production reasons.
During the first 300 km, approximately
200 miles, drive moderately.
Retreaded tyres
The manufacturer of your vehicle advises
against the use of retreaded tyres.
WARNING
Retreaded tyres may have different tyre
carcasses. Their durability may be reduced
with increasing age. There is a danger of acci‐
dents. Do not use retreaded tyres.◀
Winter tyres
For operation on wintry carriageways, winter
tyres are recommended.
Although so-called all-season tyres with an M
+S label have better winter characteristics than
summer tyres, they do not normally match the
performance of winter tyres.
Maximum speed of winter tyres
If the vehicle is capable of maximum speeds
higher than the speed permitted for the winter
tyres, display an indicating label stating the
210

maximum permitted speed in the driver's field
of view. The indicating label is available from a
Service Partner of the manufacturer or another
qualified Service Partner or a specialist work‐
shop.
If winter tyres are fitted, observe and do not ex‐
ceed the respectively permitted maximum
speed.
Interchanging front and rear wheels
The manufacturer of your vehicle advises
against interchanging the front and rear
wheels. This could impair vehicle handling.
A wheel change from one axle to another is not
permitted in vehicles with different tyre or rim
dimensions on the front and rear axles.
Storing tyres
Air pressure
Do not exceed the maximum tyre inflation
pressure indicated on the tyre's side wall.
Tyre storage
Store wheels and tyres in a cool, dry and dark
place when not in use.
Protect the tyres against contamination from
oil, grease and solvents.
Do not leave the tyres in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from the wheels or tyres.
