#
tures of less than 7 °C.
Only use tyres suitable for the intended
#
use.
Observe the following when selecting, fitting and
replacing tyres:
Country-specific requirements for tyre
R
approval that define a specific tyre type for
your vehicle.
Furthermore, the use of certain tyre types in
R
certain regions and areas of operation can be
highly beneficial.
Only use tyres and wheels of the same type
R
(summer tyres, winter tyres, MOExtended
tyres) and the same make.
Only fit wheels of the same size on one axle
R
(left and right).
It is only permissible to fit a different wheel
size in the event of a flat tyre in order to drive
to the specialist workshop.
Do not make any modifications to the brake
R
system, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may invalidate the vehicle's
general operating permit.
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
R
tem: all fitted wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors for the tyre pressure mon-
itoring system.
At temperatures below 7 °C use winter tyres
R
or all-season tyres marked i M+S-for all
wheels.
Winter tyres provide the best possible grip in
wintry road conditions.
For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
R
tread.
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
R
the M+S tyres fitted.
If the tyre's maximum speed is below that of
the vehicle, this must be indicated by an
appropriate label in the driver's field of vision.
Run in new tyres at moderate speeds for the
R
first 100 km.
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
R
regardless of wear.
