General information  
The tires heat up while driving. The tire pres-  
sure increases with the tire temperature.  
Fuel consumption.  
Safety information  
Tires have a natural, consistent tire pressure  
loss.  
The displays of inflation devices may under-  
read by up to 0.1 bar/2 psi.  
Warning  
A tire with too little or no tire inflation pres-  
sure may heat up significantly and sustain  
damage. This will have a negative impact  
on aspects of handling such as steering and  
braking response. There is a risk of accident,  
injury, and property damage. Regularly check  
the tire inflation pressure, and correct it as  
needed, for instance twice a month and be-  
fore a long trip.  
Checking via tire inflation pressure  
specifications in tire pressure table  
1. Determine the intended tire inflation pres-  
sure levels for the mounted tires.  
2. Check the tire inflation pressure in all four  
tires, using a pressure gage, for example.  
3. Correct the tire inflation pressure if the ac-  
tual tire inflation pressure deviates from the  
intended tire inflation pressure.

Treadwear  
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating  
based on the wear rate of the tire when tested  
under controlled conditions on a specified gov-  
ernment test course. E.g., a tire graded 150

would wear one and one-half, 1 g, times as  
well on the government course as a tire graded  
100. The relative performance of tires depends  
upon the actual conditions of their use, how-  
ever, and may depart significantly from the  
norm due to variations in driving habits, service  
practices and differences in road characteris-  
tics and climate.  
Warning  
The temperature grade for this tire is estab-  
lished for a tire that is properly inflated and  
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla-  
tion, or excessive loading, either separately  
or in combination, can cause heat buildup  
and possible tire failure. There is a risk of  
accident, injury, and property damage.  
Traction  
The traction grades, from highest to lowest,  
are AA, A, B, and C.  
M+S  
Winter tires, as well as all-season tires with  
better winter performance than summer tires,  
can be identified by the M+S marking on the  
tire side wall.  
Those grades represent the tire's ability to  
stop on wet pavement as measured under  
controlled conditions on specified government  
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire  
marked C may have poor traction perform-  
ance.  
Tire tread  
Safety information  
Warning  
The traction grade assigned to this tire is  
based on straight-ahead braking traction tests,  
and does not include acceleration, cornering,  
hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.  
Temperature  
If the tire tread depth is too low, driving  
safety may be impaired in critical situations  
such as aquaplaning or slush on the road.  
There is a risk of accident, injury, and prop-  
erty damage. The tire tread depth may not  
fall below 0.12 in/3 mm for summer tires and  
0.16 in/4 mm for winter and all-season tires,  
or observe the statutory regulations on mini-  
mum tread depth.  
The temperature grades are A, the highest, B,  
and C, representing the tire's resistance to the  
generation of heat and its ability to dissipate  
heat when tested under controlled conditions  
on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel.  
Sustained high temperature can cause the  
material of the tire to degenerate and reduce  
tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to  
sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds  
to a level of performance which all passenger  
car tires must meet under the Federal Motor  
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades Band  
A represent higher levels of performance on  
the laboratory test wheel than the minimum  
required by law.

Minimum tread depth  
Safety information  
Warning  
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pres-  
sure, which can lead to loss of vehicle con-  
trol. There is a risk of accident, injury, and  
property damage. If tire damage is suspected  
while driving, immediately reduce speed and  
stop. Have wheels and tires checked. To do  
so, drive carefully to an authorized service  
center or another qualified service center or  
repair shop. Have the vehicle towed or trans-  
ported as needed. Do not repair damaged  
tires, but have them replaced.  
The tire manufacturer’s wear indicators are  
distributed over the tire circumference. These  
indicators have a height of min. 0.06 in/1.6 mm  
and serve as an indicator for tire tread wear.  
The positions of the wear indicators are  
marked on the tire sidewall with TWI, Tread  
Wear Indicator.  
Warning  
The wheels, tires and chassis components  
can become damaged when driving over  
curbs, road damage, or other obstacles.  
Larger wheels have a smaller tire cross-sec-  
tion. The smaller the tire cross-section, the  
higher the risk of tire damage. There is a risk  
of accident, injury, and property damage. If  
possible, avoid driving over curbs, road dam-  
age or other obstacles, or drive over them  
slowly and carefully.  
Tire damage  
General information  
Check your tires regularly for damage, foreign  
objects lodged in the tread, and tread wear.  
Indications of tire damage or another vehicle  
malfunction:  
Unusual vibrations.  
Unusual tire or running noises.  
Exchanging wheels and  
tires  
Unusual vehicle handling such as a strong  
tendency to pull to the left or right.  
Uneven wear pattern, e.g., increased wear  
in the area of the tire shoulder.  
Mounting and wheel balancing  
Have the wheel mounted and balanced by an  
authorized service center or another qualified  
service center or repair shop.  
Damage can be caused by the following situa-  
tions, for instance:  
Driving over curbs.  
Road damage.  
Suitable wheels and tires  
Tire pressure too low.  
Vehicle overloading.  
Incorrect tire storage.  
General information  
Only certain wheel/tire combinations are suit-  
able depending on vehicle and equipment.

Safety information  
Warning  
Wheels and tires that are not suitable for  
the vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle.  
There is a risk of accident, injury, and prop-  
erty damage. The vehicle manufacturer rec-  
ommends that you use only wheels and tires  
that have been recommended for the vehicle  
type.  
Tire types are developed for each vehicle and  
optimized specifically for the individual require-  
ments of that vehicle, e.g.:  
Vehicle handling.  
Comfort.  
Noise characteristics.  
Specially developed tires are marked with  
a star on the tire sidewall. After replacing  
wheels and tires, the vehicle manufacturer rec-  
ommends using star-marked tires again. The  
vehicle manufacturer recommends that you  
use tires of the same make and tread design.  
Warning  
Mounted steel wheels can cause technical  
problems, for instance unexpected loosening  
of the lug bolts and damage to the brake  
disks. There is a risk of accident, injury,  
and property damage. Do not mount steel  
wheels.  
New tires  
Tire traction is not optimal due to manufactur-  
ing circumstances when tires are brand new.  
Drive conservatively for the first  
200 miles/300 km.  
Warning  
Wheel/tire combinations that are not suitable  
for the vehicle can affect vehicle handling  
and a number of system functions, e.g.,the  
Antilock Braking System or Dynamic Stability  
Control. There is a risk of accident, injury, and  
property damage. The manufacturer of the  
vehicle recommends that you use wheels and  
tires that have been recommended by the  
vehicle manufacturer for the vehicle type. Fol-  
lowing tire damage, have the original wheel/  
Retreaded tires  
Warning  
Retreated tires can have different tire casing  
structures. With advanced age the service life  
can be limited. There is a risk of accident,  
injury, and property damage. The manufac-

turer of the vehicle does not recommend the  
use of retreaded tires.  
As a rule, all-season tires do not perform the  
same as winter tires.  
Wheel change between axles  
Maximum speed  
Warning  
Safety information  
A wheel change between the axles on vehi-  
cles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on  
the front and rear axles can cause damage  
to the tires and the vehicle. There is a risk  
of accident, injury, and property damage. Do  
not rotate the tires between the axles on ve-  
hicles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on  
the front and rear axles.  
Warning  
If the maximum permissible speed of your  
mounted tires is exceeded, the tires may be  
damaged. There is a risk of accident, injury,  
and property damage. Do not exceed the  
maximum permissible speed of the tires.  
Maximum speed of winter tires  
Storing tires  
If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher  
than the maximum permissible speed of the  
winter tires, the maximum permissible speed  
must be indicated with a sign placed in the  
field of vision. The info label is available from  
an authorized service center or another quali-  
fied service center or repair shop.  
Tire pressure  
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-  
sure indicated on the tire sidewall.  
Storage  
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and  
dark place.  
Winter tires  
Always protect tires against all contact with  
oil, grease, and solvents.  
Do not leave the tires in plastic bags.  
Remove dirt from wheels or tires.  
Repairing a flat tire  
Safety precautions  
Winter tires are recommended for operating on  
winter roads.  
Park the vehicle on solid and non-slip  
ground at a safe distance from road traffic.  
Winter tires can be identified by the moun-  
tain/snowflake icon and the letters M+S on the  
tire sidewall.  
Turn on the hazard warning system.  
Set the parking brake.  
Turn the steering wheel until the front  
wheels are in the straight-ahead position  
and engage the steering wheel lock.  
So-called all-season tires with M+S marking  
but without mountain and snowflake icon have  
better winter properties than summer tires.

As soon as permitted by the traffic flow,  
have all vehicle occupants get out and  
make sure that they remain outside the  
hazardous area such as behind a guardrail.  
Warning  
When driving with sport tires on wet roads or  
race tracks, driving safety may be impaired in  
critical situations such as aquaplaning. There  
is a risk of accident. Drive at a suitable speed  
and with driving stability control systems en-  
abled, e.g., Dynamic Stability Control.  
If necessary, set up the hazard triangle or  
hazard warning lights at an appropriate  
distance.  
Track tires  
Warning  
General information  
At temperatures below 59 /15 ℃, handling  
characteristics can be impaired when driving  
with sport tires, e.g., a sudden loss of trac-  
tion. There is a risk of accident. At tempera-  
tures below 59 /15 ℃, drive at a suitable  
speed and with driving stability control sys-  
tems enabled, e.g., Dynamic Stability Control.  
The vehicle can be fitted with sport tires, which  
have been optimized for use on a racetrack in  
dry conditions.  
These track tires are made from an optimized  
material mixture specially derived from motor-  
sport. In addition, the tire tread is partly re-  
duced to create a larger contact area with the  
road surface. These adjustments can increase  
driving dynamics such as steering behavior,  
precision, or road grip.  
Storage  
If the sport tires are not used for a long period  
of time, we recommend removing the wheels  
from the vehicle.  
Additional information:  
At an authorized service center or another  
qualified service center or repair shop.  
Store wheels or sport tires in a clean, dry, and  
dark place at temperatures above 32 /0 ℃.  
On the website of the respective tire manu-  
facturer.  
Use on the road  
The sport tires meet the legal regulations for  
use in public road traffic.  
Safety information  
After being used on a racetrack, the sport  
tires may no longer be suitable for road traf-  
fic. Therefore, after they have been used on  
a racetrack, check the sport tires against the  
legal regulations for use in public road traffic,  
for instance the minimum tread depth.  
Warning  
At temperatures below 32/0℃, sport tires  
can become damaged, for instance torn and  
broken. There is a risk of accidents and risk  
of property damage. Do not move, mount,  
or drive on sport tires at temperatures below  
32/0℃.  
Use on a racetrack  
General information  
Always check the sport tires for damage, for-  
eign objects lodged in the tread, and wear be-  
fore using them on a racetrack.

Tire repair set  
Bring the sport tires to temperature with a  
moderate, modified driving style when using  
them on the racetrack.  
Principle  
The tire repair set is used to temporarily seal  
minor tire damage so that it is possible to con-  
tinue driving.  
Intensive use  
After an extended period of intensive driving  
on a racetrack and driving over curbs or leav-  
ing the roadway, the sport tires can become  
damaged.  
General information  
The filled in tire sealant closes the damage  
from the inside when it hardens.  
Follow the instructions for using the tire  
repair set, which are provided on the com-  
pressor and sealant bottle.  
Check the sport tires for damage, foreign ob-  
jects lodged in the tread, and tread wear. The  
wheel must be removed in order to check the  
outside and inside of the sport tires. Have  
sport tires checked by an authorized service  
center or another qualified service center or  
repair shop.  
The tire repair set may be insufficient if the  
tire damage measures more than approx.  
0.16 in/4 mm.  
Do not remove foreign objects that have  
penetrated the tire. Remove foreign objects  
only when they are visibly protruding from  
the tire.  
Tire pressure  
General information  
The compressor can be used to check the  
tire inflation pressure.  
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly and  
correct it if necessary, taking the regulations  
for use on the road or a racetrack into account.  
The tires heat up while driving. The tire pres-  
sure increases with the tire temperature.  
Overview  
Storage  
Depending on vehicle equipment, the tire re-  
pair set is stored as follows:  
Tire pressure specifications  
The tire pressure table contains all tire infla-  
tion pressure specifications for given tire sizes  
at ambient temperature. The tire inflation pres-  
sure specifications apply to the tire sizes ap-

vehicle that prevent the TPMS from function-  
ing properly. Always check the TPMS malfunc-  
tion telltale after replacing one or more tires  
or wheels on the vehicle to ensure that the re-  
placement or alternate tires and wheels allow  
the TPMS to continue to function properly.  
Declaration according to NHTSA/  
FMVSS 138 Tire Pressure Monitoring  
System  
Each tire, including the spare (if provided)  
should be checked monthly when cold and in-  
flated to the inflation pressure recommended  
by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle  
placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If the  
vehicle has tires of a different size than the  
size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire  
inflation pressure label, you should determine  
the proper tire inflation pressure for those  
tires.) As an added safety feature, the vehi-  
cle has been equipped with a tire pressure  
monitoring system (TPMS) that illuminates a  
low tire pressure telltale when one or more  
of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Ac-  
cordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale  
illuminates, you should stop and check your  
tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to  
the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly  
under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat  
and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also  
reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and  
may affect the vehicle's handling and stopping  
ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a  
substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it  
is the driver's responsibility to maintain correct  
tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not  
reached the level to trigger illumination of the  
TPMS low tire pressure telltale. The vehicle  
has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunc-  
tion indicator to indicate when the system is  
not operating properly. The TPMS malfunction  
indicator is combined with the low tire pres-  
sure telltale. When the system detects a mal-  
function, the telltale will flash for approximately  
one minute and then remain continuously il-  
luminated. This sequence will continue upon  
subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the  
malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi-  
cator is illuminated, the system may not be  
able to detect or signal low tire pressure as  
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a  
variety of reasons, including the installation of  
replacement or alternate tires or wheels on the  
Flat tire monitor  
Principle  
The flat tire monitor detects a tire pressure  
loss while driving and issues a warning if the  
tire pressure has dropped.  
General information  
The system detects tire pressure loss on the  
basis of rotation speed differences between  
the individual wheels while driving.  
In the event of a tire pressure loss, the diam-  
eter and therefore the rate of rotation of the  
corresponding wheel changes. The difference  
will be detected and reported as a flat tire.  
The system does not measure the actual infla-  
tion pressure in the tires.  
Functional requirements  
The following prerequisites must be met for  
the system; otherwise, reliable notification of a  
tire pressure loss is not assured:  
After a tire or wheel change, an initialization  
was carried out at the correct tire pressure.  
After the tire pressure was adjusted to a  
new value, an initialization was performed.
