Unidirectional tyres


First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 205.
The direction of rotation of the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the tyre.
The indicated direction of rotation must be adhered to in order to ensure the op-
timal characteristics of these tyres.
These characteristics mainly relate to the following:
Increased driving stability.

Reduced risk of aquaplaning.

Reduced tyre noise and tyre wear.

Tyre pressure monitor


First read and observe the introductory information and safety warn-
ings on page 205.
The tyre control display compares the speed and thus the rolling circumference of
the individual wheels with the help of the ABS sensors. If the rolling circumfer-
ence of a wheel is changed, the indicator light
ter » page 24, Tyre control display and an audible signal sounds.

The rolling circumference of the tyre can change if:
›
the tyre inflation pressure is too low;
›
the structure of the tyre is damaged;
 ›
the vehicle is loaded on one side;
›
the wheels of an axle are loaded heavily (e.g. when towing a trailer or when
driving uphill or downhill);
›
snow chains are mounted;
›
the temporary spare wheel is mounted;
›
one wheel per axle was changed.
Basic setting of the system
After changing the tyre inflation pressure, after changing one or several wheels,
the position of a wheel on the vehicle (e.g. exchanging the wheels between the
axles) or when the indicator light lights up while driving, a basic setting of the
system must be carried out as follows:
›
Inflate all of the tyres to the specified inflation pressure
of tyres.
›
Switch on the ignition.
