Preparing for a holiday

Notes on adjusting the lights when driving abroad

It is not necessary to adjust the headlamps. The

legal requirements are also met in countries in

which trac drives on the other side of the road.

Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tyres

WARNING Risk of injury due to damaged

tyres

Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss.

Check the tyres regularly for signs of

damage and replace any damaged tyres

immediately.

WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to

insucient tyre tread

Insucient tyre tread will result in reduced

tyre grip.

The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet

roads, especially when the speed of the vehi-

cle is not adapted to suit the conditions.

Thus, you should regularly check the

tread depth and the condition of the

tread across the entire width of all tyres.

Minimum tread depth for:

Summer tyres: 3 mm

M+S tyres: 4 mm

For safety reasons, replace the tyres

before the legally-prescribed limit for the

minimum tread depth is reached.

Carry out the following checks on all wheels regu-

larly, at least once a month or as required, for

example, prior to a long journey or driving o-

road:

Check the tyre pressure (/ page 621).

Visually inspect wheels and tyres for damage.

Check the valve caps.

Visual check of the tyre tread depth and the

tyre contact surface across the entire width.

The minimum tread depth for summer tyres is

3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm.
