Fitting new tyres
Only fit approved radial tyres of the same type, size (rolling circumference) and
the same tread pattern on one axle on all four wheels.
When mounting new tires the tires have to be replaced axle by axle.
Unidirectional tyres
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the
tyre.
The specified running direction must be strictly adhered to, otherwise the fol-
lowing tyre characteristics may be degraded.
▶
Driving stability.
▶
Traction.
▶
Tyre noise and tyre wear.
WARNING
Never use tyres if you do not know anything about their condition and
■
age - risk of accidents.
Never drive with damaged tyres – risk of accident.
■
CAUTION
The tyres must be protected from contact with substances (e.g. oil, grease
■
and fuel) which could damage them. If the tyres come into contact with these
substances, then we recommend you have this checked out in a specialist
workshop.
Do not use rims with ground or polished surfaces in winter conditions - there
■
is a risk of rim damage (e.g through salt spreading).
Note
We recommend that any work on the wheels or tyres be carried out by a spe-
■
cialist garage.
We recommend that you use tyres, snow chains and full wheel trims from

Tyre pressure
Fig. 143 An example on the position of the sticker / tyre inflation
The specified tyre pressures are shown on label
The sticker can be located at the following locations.
▶
B-pillar on the driver's side.
▶
Inside of the fuel filler flap.
Tyre pressure is always to match the load.
Inflation pressure for cold tyres
B
Inflation pressure for half load
C
Inflation pressure for increased driving comfort at half load (slightly in-
D
creased fuel consumption and emissions)
Inflation pressure for full load
E
Tyre pressure value on the front axle
F
Tyre pressure value on the rear axle
G
The approved tyre sizes for your vehicle are listed in the vehicle's technical
documentation and in the declaration of conformity (the so-called COC docu-
ment).
Check tyre pressures
Check the tyre pressure (including that of the emergency or spare wheel) at
least once a month and also before setting off on a long journey.
Always check the inflation pressure when the tyres are cold. Do not reduce the
higher pressure on warm tyres.
In vehicles with tyre pressure monitoring, tyre pressure values must be saved
each time the pressures are changed
