Gener General not al notes es
Information on tires, wheels and permissible com-
binations can be obtained at a quali ed specialist
workshop.
The smaller the cross-section of a tire of a speci c
wheel size, the worse the driving comfort on poor
road surfaces. Ride and damping comfort are
reduced and the risk increases that when you drive
over obstacles, damage to wheels and tires may
result.
If you change wheel size on your vehicle, check it
is assigned to the correct wheel size category
( page 214). If the assignment changes without
/
recoding the control units in the vehicle, the
speedometer will not display the speed accurately.
Driving safety systems and driving systems may
then be operationally impaired or may detect a
malfunction and switch themselves o .
You will nd a table with the recommended tire
pressures for various vehicle loads on the inside of
the vehicle's fuel ller ap or under "Tire pressure
table" ( page 205).
/
Check tire pressure regularly and only when the
tires are cold.

ARNING Risk of accident due to incor-
rect wheel and tire dimensions
Mounting an emergency spare wheel or spare
wheel may severely impair the driving charac-
teristics.
There is an increased risk of an accident.
To prevent hazardous situations:
Check the tire pressure of the spare
#
wheel or emergency spare wheel once
installed and, if necessary, adjust.
The emergency spare wheel may only be
#
used temporarily and must be replaced
with a standard wheel as soon as possi-
ble.
Never install more than one emergency
#
spare wheel.
Adapt your driving style and drive care-
#
fully in emergency spare wheel mode.
®
Do not switch o ESP .
#
Do not use snow chains on the emer-
#
gency spare wheel.
