Only use those tires designated in the registration documents.
Other tire sizes may only be used with the permission of the ma-
nufacturer (ABE).
• Check tires regularly to ensure that the tread is worn down
evenly; check tread depth; check for external damages.
• Always use the same make and model of tires (summer or
winter tires).
• Drive carefully on new tires for a stretch of approx. 100 km to
enable them to develop a full road grip.
Only one tire size has been entered in the motor vehicle registra-
tion certificate (parts I and II). This does not have to be consistent
with the size of the tires on the vehicle. Should you have any que-
ries, please contact your contractual partner.
Rules for checking tire pressure
• Check and adjust tire pressure every four weeks (but at least
every three months) and before every drive.
• If driving on low tire pressure is unavoidable (i.e., from the
campsite to the nearest service station) you should drive at a
maximum speed of 20 km/h.
• Raise the pressure of the base vehicle's rear tires slightly. When
doing so, please also refer to the base vehicle manufacturer's tire
pressure recommendations.
• Tires must be checked when they are cold.
• If tires are checked or the tire pressure corrected when tires are
warm, the pressure must be up to 0.3 bar higher than if the tires
