Risk of accident
Bear in mind that:
tyre grip decreases rapidly on wet roads

when the tread depth is less than 3 mm.
Thus, you should replace tyres that have
insufficient tread.
winter tyres should be replaced when the
R
tread depth is 4 mm or less as they no lon-
ger provide adequate grip.
the tread on a tyre may not wear evenly.

Thus, you should regularly check the tread
depth and the condition of the tread across
the entire width of all tyres. If necessary,
turn the front wheels to full lock in order to
inspect the tyre tread more easily.
Otherwise, you could lose control of the vehi-
cle and cause an accident due to the reduced
grip of the tyres on the road.

Storing tyres
Store tyres that are not being used in a cool,
dry and preferably dark place. Protect the
tyres against oil, grease, petrol and diesel.
Cleaning tyres

Risk of accident
Do not use high-pressure cleaners with circu-
lar-jet nozzles (dirt grinders) to clean your
vehicle, in particular the tyres. You could oth-
erwise damage the tyres and cause an acci-
dent.
Tyre pressure
Recommended tyre pressure
You will find a table of tyre pressures for var-
ious operating conditions on the inside of
your vehicle's fuel filler flap.
The applicable value for the emergency spare
wheel is stated on the spare wheel and in the
technical data section.
For trailer towing, adjust the tyre pressure of
the rear tyres to the maximum tyre pressure
value stated on the table inside the fuel filler
flap.
The load conditions "partially laden" and "fully
laden" are defined in the table for different
numbers of passengers and amounts of lug-
gage. The actual number of seats may vary –
for more information please refer to the vehi-
cle's registration documents.
If no other data is stated, the tyre pressures
specified on the fuel filler flap apply for all
tyres approved for this vehicle.
