Winter tyres
Winter tyres improve driving safety at
temperatures below 7 °C and should
therefore be fitted on all wheels.
In accordance with country-specific
regulations, affix the speed sticker in
the driver's field of view, if the tyre
speed code is below the maximum
speed of the vehicle.
All tyre sizes are permitted as winter
tyres 3 251.
Choose a tyre appropriate for the
maximum speed of the vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at
kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus
125 kg payload. Optional equipment
could reduce the maximum speed of
the vehicle.
