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:
