MOBILITY
Warning
Mounted steel wheels can cause technical
problems, for instance unexpected loosening
of the lug bolts and damage to the brake
disks. There is a risk of accident. Do not
mount steel wheels.
Warning
Incorrect wheel/tire combinations will impair
the vehicle's handling characteristics and a
variety of system functions, such as the An-
tilock Braking System or Dynamic Stability
Control. There is a risk of accident. To main-
tain good handling and vehicle response,
use only tires with a single tread configura-
tion from a single manufacturer. The manu-
facturer of the vehicle recommends that you
use wheels and tires that have been recom-
mended by the vehicle manufacturer for your
vehicle type. Following tire damage, have the
original wheel/tire combination remounted on
the vehicle as soon as possible.
Recommended tire brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of the ve-
hicle recommends certain tire brands. The tire
brands can be identified by a star on the tire
sidewall.

New tires
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur-
ing circumstances when tires are brand new.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreated tires can have different tire casing
structures. With advanced age the service life
can be limited. There is a risk of accident.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not rec-
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Winter tires
General information
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
Winter tires can be identified by the icon with
mountain and snowflake, as well as the M+S
marking on the tire sidewall.
All-season tires with the M+S designation, but
without icon with mountain and snowflake,
have better winter characteristics than summer
tires but generally do not achieve the perform-
ance of winter tires.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for the winter tires,
