All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winter
weather conditions. They are characterised by ‘M+S’
and a mountaintop and snowflake symbol
Tread wear indicators
.
Wear indicators are loca-
ted in the profile of the
tyres that display the
permissible minimum
tread depth.
What you should be mindful of
For the best possible handling, use tyres on all four
wheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
Markings on the walls of
the tyres with the letters
TWI or other symbols
(e.g. ) indicate the po-
sition of the wear indica-
tors.
Change winter tyres to summer tyres at the appro-
priate time. Summer tyres have better driving and
braking characteristics on snow- and ice-free roads
and at temperatures above 7 °C.
A tyre is to be regarded as worn out when this wear
indicator is flush with the tread.
Usage conditions
If all-season or winter tyres are installed that have a
lower speed category than the actual specified maxi-
mum vehicle speed, then proceed as follows:
The tread depth can be measured with a tread
depth gauge on the ice scraper. The ice scraper is lo-
cated on the inside of the fuel filler flap.
In Infotainment, set the speed limit according to
the category of tyres fitted.
In the driver's field of view, affix a warning label
with the maximum value of the speed category in-
tended for the tyres fitted (applies only to certain
countries).
