Storage
▷ Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and
dark place.
▷ Always protect tires against all contact with
oil, grease, and solvents.
▷ Do not leave the tires in plastic bags.
▷ Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Runflat tires
Principle
Runflat tires permit continued driving under
limited conditions even in the event of a com-
plete tire pressure loss.
General information
The wheels consist of tires that are self-sup-
porting to a limited degree and may also in-
clude special rims.
The reinforcement of the sidewall allows the
tire to remain drivable to a limited degree in
the event of a tire pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driving
with a flat tire.
Safety information
Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a runflat
tire has insufficient or no tire pressure; for
instance, reduced directional stability when
braking, braking distances are longer and the
self-steering properties will change. There is
a risk of accident. Drive moderately and do
not exceed a speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.
