Chapter overview
This chapter contains instructions regarding the tyres of the vehicle.
At the end of the chapter there is a table you can use to find the correct tyre
pressure for your vehicle.

General

 Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to
tyre burst. You can lose control of the vehicle (see section 14.6).

Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. Do not reduce the higher tyre
pressure when the tyres are warm.

Tubeless tyres have been installed on the vehicle. Never install tubes in
these tyres.

Read the instruction manual for the base vehicle.

Depending on the model, the vehicle may only be equipped with a tyre
repair kit as standard.

In the case of a puncture, pull the vehicle over to the side of the road.
Make vehicle safe with a hazard warning triangle. Switch on the warning
lights.

Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material will become brittle
over time. The four-digit DOT number on the tyre flank indicates the date
of manufacture. The first two digits designate the week, the last two dig-
its the year of manufacture.
Example: Week 7, year of manufacture 2018.

Check the tyres regularly (every 2 weeks) for equal tread wear, tread
depth and external damage.

Replace tyres at the latest, when the minimum depth of tread stipulated
by law is reached.

Always use tyres of the same model, same brand and same style (sum-
mer and winter tyres).

Only use tyres approved for the wheel rim type fitted. The permitted rim
and tyre sizes are quoted in the vehicle documents and the authorised
dealer or service centre will always be glad to give you advice.

Run-in new tyres for approx. 100 km (60 miles) at low speed since only
then do they reach full strength.
