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.
Usage conditions
If all-season or winter tyres are installed that have a
lower speed category than the actual specified maxi-
mum vehicle speed, then proceed as follows.
›
In infotainment, set the speed limit according to
the category of tyres fitted.
›
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).
Settings
The speed limit setting for tyres is set in the infotain-
ment in the following menu item.
