Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tires of size 205/60R16 and
215/55R17 are permitted as winter
tires.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view.

Tyre pressure

Although your vehicle has an
integrated tyre pressure monitoring
system, you should check the tyre
pressure of your cold tyres at least
every 14 days and before any long
journey.
Unscrew the valve cap.
The tyre and loading information label
on the front left-hand door frame
indicates the original equipment tyres
and the tyre pressures.
Additionally: See Tyre pressures
3 190.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold
tyres. It applies to summer and winter
tyres.
The ECO tyre pressure serves to
achieve the smallest amount of fuel
consumption possible.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair
safety, vehicle handling, comfort and
fuel economy and will increase tyre
wear.
9 Warning
If the pressure is too low, this can
result in considerable tyre warm-
up and internal damage, leading to
tread separation and even to tyre
blow-out at high speeds.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced
or increased on a vehicle with tyre
pressure monitoring system, switch
off ignition.
Tyre pressure monitoring
system
The tyre pressure monitoring system
uses radio and sensor technology to
check tyre pressure levels. The tyre
pressure monitoring system sensors
monitor the pressure in your vehicle's
tyres and transmits tyre pressure
readings to a receiver located in the
vehicle.
