tyres, a sign stating the speed limit for the
tyres fitted must be displayed in the driver's
field of view. The sign is available from an au-
thorised Service Partner or another qualified
Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
When winter tyres are fitted, observe the
speed limit of the winter tyres and do not ex-
ceed it.
Wheel change between axles
Depending on the individual operating condi-
tions, the tyre tread wears differently on the
front and rear axles. To achieve even abrasion,
the tyres can be swapped in pairs between the
axles. Additional information is available from
an authorised Service Partner or another quali-
fied Service Partner or a specialist workshop.
After changing the wheels, check the tyre infla-
tion pressure and correct if necessary.

Tyre repair kit
Principle
With the tyre repair kit, minor tyre damage can
be quickly sealed to allow the driver to con-
tinue driving.
General
▷ The filled in tyre sealant encloses the dam-
age from the inside when it hardens.
▷ Please observe the notes on using the tyre
repair kit which are on the compressor and
the tyre sealant bottle.
▷ The use of the tyre repair set can be inef-
fective in the event of tyre damage from a
size of approx. 4 mm, approx. 0.16 in.
▷ Foreign bodies that have penetrated the
tyre should remain inside the tyre. Only re-
move foreign objects if they are visibly pro-
truding from the tyre.
▷ The compressor can be used to check the
tyre inflation pressure.
