Tyre Pressure Monitor

System

The tyre pressure monitoring
system checks the pressure of all
four wheels once per minute when
vehicle speed exceeds a certain
limit.
All wheels must be equipped with
pressure sensors and the tyres
must have the prescribed pressure.
If wheels without sensors are
mounted, the tyre pressure
monitoring system is not
operational. Retrofitting of sensors
is possible.

Tread Depth

Check tread depth at regular
intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety
reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm
(4 mm for winter tyres).
The legally permissible minimum
tread depth (1.6 mm) has been
reached when the tread has worn
down as far as one of the tread
wear indicators (TWI). Their position
is indicated by markings on the
sidewall.
Vehicle Care
If there is more wear at the front
than the rear, swap round front
wheels and rear wheels. Ensure
that the direction of rotation of the
wheels is the same as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not
used. We recommend tyre
replacement every 6 years.

Tyre Rotation

Tyres are rotated to achieve a more
uniform wear for all tyres. The first
rotation is the most important.
Any time unusual wear is noticed,
rotate the tyres as soon as possible
and check the wheel alignment.
Also check for damaged tyres or
wheels.
