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.

er speed category than the actual maximum speed
of the vehicle, then proceed as follows.

to the category of the fitted tires.

tended for the tyres fitted (applies only to certain
countries).

ment in the following menu item.
