cialist workshop. If necessary, have the vehi-
cle towed or transported there. Do not repair
damaged tyres. Have them replaced.
WARNING
Tyres can become damaged by driving
over obstacles, for example kerbs or dam-
aged road surfaces, 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 risk of ac-
cident and material damage. If possible, drive
around obstacles or drive over them slowly
and carefully.

Irrespective of the tyre tread depth, change

Safety information
WARNING
Wheels and tyres that are not suitable for the
vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle. For
example they could come into contact with
bodywork on account of their dimensional
tolerances, despite having the same nominal
size. There is a risk of accident. The man-
ufacturer of the vehicle recommends using
wheels and tyres that have been rated as
suitable for the vehicle type 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.
