Tyre and wheel safety

The tyres are the only contact between

the vehicle and the road, so it is es-

sential to keep them in good condition.

You must make sure that your tyres

con- form to local road traffic regula-

tions.

Incidents which occur

when driving, such as

striking the kerb, may

damage the tyres and

wheel rims, and could also lead to

misalignment of the front or rear

axle geometry. In this case, have

the condition of these checked by

an approved dealer.

For your safety and to

comply with the law.

When they need to be

replaced, only tyres of

the same make, size, type and

profile should be used on a single

axle.

Tyre pressures

The tyres must be in good condition

and the treads must have sufficient

depth: tyres approved by our Technical

Department have wear warning strips

the tread at several points.

the emergency spare wheel). The tyre

pressures should be checked at least

once a month and additionally before

They must either have a load

capacity and speed rating at

least equal to those of the origi-

If the tyre pressures cannot be

Tyre pressures must correspond to the

current usage of the vehicle (empty,

A tyre which has been punctured

should always be inspected (and

repaired, where possible) by a

specialist as soon as possible.

When taking a tyre which has
