Tyres and rims

What you should be mindful of

NOTICE

Protect tyres from contact with lubricants and

fuel.

Always store wheels or tyres in a cool, dry and,

where possible, dark place. Tyres without rims

should be stored in an upright position.

▶

Alloy rims can be damaged by grit.

▶

Do not use light alloy rims with a high-sheen sur-

face in wintry weather conditions or with snow

chains

Advice for tyre assembly

With directional tires, the correct direction of rota-

tion must be observed. The direction of rotation of

the tyres is marked by arrows on the wall of the

tyre.

Usage

WARNING

Do not exceed the maximum permissible load and

speed for the mounted tires.

▶

All-season or winter tyres improve handling in winter

weather conditions. They are characterised by ‘M+S’

Tread wear indicators

Wear indicators are loca-

ted in the proﬁle of the

tyres that display the

permissible minimum

tread depth.

and a mountaintop and snowﬂake symbol

.

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

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.

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:

WARNING

Risk of accident!

In Infotainment, set the speed limit according to

the category of tyres ﬁtted.

›

Do not use worn tires.

Tyre manufacturing date

The date of manufacture is indicated on the tyre

with the maximum value of the speed category in-

tended for the tyres ﬁtted (applies only to certain

countries).

For example, DOT ... 10 20 means that the tyres

were produced in the 10th week of the year 2020.

on the vehicle.

▶

Or:

A temporary spare wheel is provided with a warn-

ing label on the rim. This wheel is intended to ena-

ble you to reach the nearest specialist garage.

▶

Snow chains

Usage

Inﬂate a space saver wheel with the maximum pre-

scribed pressure.

The snow chains improve driving in wintry road con-

ditions.

Emergency wheel

A warning label is displayed on the rim of the tempo-

rary spare wheel. This wheel is intended to enable

you to reach the nearest specialist garage.

WARNING

Risk of accident as well as tyre damage!

Do not use chains on routes that are free from

snow and ice.

▶

An emergency wheel is signiﬁcantly narrower than

the wheels mounted ex-factory.

What you should be mindful of

Remove the wheel on vehicles without sound

system and replace

Before ﬁtting the snow chains, remove the full

wheel trims.

›

The spare wheel or emergency wheel is mounted in a

recess under the ﬂoor covering or the variable load-

ing ﬂoor in the boot.

Only mount the snow chains on the front wheels.

Usage

Insert the wheel into the wheel well with the out-

side facing downwards.

The SEAL tyres have increased resistance to air leak-

age when punctured.

Screw in the locknut until it stops.

Replace the box with the tool kit into the wheel

When replacing SEAL tyres with standard tires, the

vehicle must have one of the following pieces of

equipment.

After having been changed

Check the tyre pressure on the mounted wheel

and adjust if necessary.

›

In vehicles with a tyre indicator, save the tyre pres-

sure values in the system.

›

Have the tightening torque of the wheel bolts of

the mounted tyres checked with a torque wrench

as soon as possible.

The speciﬁed tightening torque is 140 Nm.

Drive carefully until the tightening torque is checked.

Replace the damaged tyre. It is not recommended to

repair the tyre.

tyre is too damaged and cannot be sealed with the

puncture set.

Breakdown kit

Content overview

Stop driving. Seek the help of a specialist garage.

›

The kit is located in a box under the ﬂoor covering in

the luggage compartment.

Once a tyre pressure of 2.0–2.5 bar is achieved, con-

tinue the journey at a maximum speed of 80 km/h

(50 mph).

Avoid full accelerations, strong braking and fast

cornering.

›

Information for driving with repaired tyres

The pressure of the repaired tyre must be checked

after driving for 10 minutes.

›

If the tyre pressure is 1.3 bar and less, do not con-

tinue! Seek the help of a specialist garage.

›

If the tyre pressure is higher than 1.3 bar, correct

the pressure to the correct value of at least 2 bar

and continue driving.
