Tires
Or:
All-season or winter tires
Usage
All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winter
weather conditions. They are characterised by 'M+S'
and a mountaintop and snowflake symbol
What you should be mindful of
For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-
priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and
braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads
and at temperatures above 7 °C.
Conditions of use
If all-season or winter tires are used that have a low-
er speed category than the actual maximum speed
of the vehicle, then proceed as follows.
›
Set the speed limit in the Infotainment according
to the category of the fitted tires.

In the driver's field of view, affix a warning label
with the maximum value of the speed category in-
tended for the tyres fitted (applies only to certain
countries).
