MOBILITY
Retreaded tires
Warning
Retreated tires can have different tire casing
structures. With advanced age the service life
can be limited. There is a risk of accident.
The manufacturer of the vehicle does not rec-
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Winter tires
General information
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
Winter tires can be identified by the mountain
and snowflake icon, as well as the M+S mark-
ing on the tire sidewall.
So-called all-season tires with M+S marking
but without mountain and snowflake icon have
better winter properties than summer tires.
As a rule, all-season tires do not perform the
same as winter tires.
Maximum speed of winter tires
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher
than the permissible speed for winter tires,
attach an info sign showing the permissible
maximum speed in the driver's field of vision.
The info label is available from an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.

When driving on winter tires, observe the
speed limit for winter tires. Do not exceed this
limit.
Changing runflat tires
When changing from runflat tires to standard
tires, it must be ensured that the vehicle con-
tains an emergency wheel or tire mobility kit.
For more information, contact an authorized
service center or another qualified service cen-
ter or repair shop.
Wheel change between axles
Warning
A wheel change between the axles on vehi-
cles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on
the front and rear axles can cause damage
to the tires and the vehicle. There is a risk of
accident. Do not rotate the tires between the
axles on vehicles with different tire sizes or
rim sizes on the front and rear axles.
Different abrasion patterns can occur on the
front and rear axles depending on individual
driving conditions. The tires can be rotated in
pairs between the axles to achieve even abra-
sion. For more information, contact an author-
ized service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop. After changing, check
the tire pressure and correct, if needed.
Storing tires
Tire pressure
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-
sure indicated on the tire sidewall.
Storage

dark place.
