WARNING
When the warning light
illuminates, immediately reduce the speed and
avoid sudden steering and brake manoeuvres. Stop the vehicle as soon as
possible and inspect the tyres and their inflation pressure.
Under certain circumstances (e.g. sporty style of driving, wintry or unpaved
roads) the warning light
can be delayed or does not light up at all.
CAUTION
The tyre control display does therefore not replace the regular tyre inflation
pressure control, as the system cannot detect an even loss of pressure.
The system cannot warn in case of very rapid tyre inflation pressure loss, e.g. in
case of sudden tyre damage. In this case carefully bring the vehicle to a standstill
without sudden steering movements or sharp braking.
To ensure a proper functioning of the tyre control display, it is necessary to re-
peat the basic setting every 10000 km or once a year.

Temporary spare wheel
A warning label is displayed on the rim of the temporary spare wheel.
Please note the following if you intend to use the temporary spare wheel.
The warning label must not be covered after installing the wheel.
Be particularly observant when driving.
The inflation pressure for the temporary spare wheel is identical to the maxi-
mum inflation pressure for the standard tyres.
Only use this temporary spare wheel to reach the nearest specialist garage, as it
is not intended for long-term use.
The tyre inflation pressure of the spare wheel R 16 is 420 kPa.
WARNING
Never drive with more than one spare wheel mounted!
Never use the temporary spare wheel if it is damaged.
If the dimensions or design of the temporary spare wheel differ from the fit-
ted tyres, never drive faster than 80 km/h (or 50 mph).
Avoid accelerating at full throttle, sharp braking and fast cornering.
CAUTION
Observe instructions on the warning sign of the emergency wheel.
