Directional tyres

Tyre designations

Wheels and tyres

E.g. 195/65 R 15 91 T

Directional tyres should be mounted

so that they rotate in the correct

direction. The proper rotation

direction is indicated by a symbol

(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.

Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of a

workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

Speed code letter:

Do not forget the spare wheel.

Q : up to 100 mph

S : up to 112 mph

T : up to 118 mph

H : up to 130 mph

V : up to 150 mph

W : up to 168 mph

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.

All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres 3 229.

Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of this vehicle. Refer

to the EEC Certificate of Conformity

provided with the vehicle or other

national registration documents.

Optional equipment could reduce the

maximum speed of the vehicle.

Vehicle care

197

The tyre pressure information label

on the left door frame indicates the

original equipment tyres and the

correspondent tyre pressures.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

The pressure increases by nearly

1.5 psi for a 10 °C temperature

increase. This must be considered

when warm tyres are checked.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

Tyre deflation detection

system

Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.

The tyre deflation detection system

continually checks the rotation speed

of all four wheels and warns on low

tyre pressure condition once vehicle

is driving. This is achieved by

comparing tyre rolling circumference

with reference values and further

signals.

9 Warning

The ECO tyre pressure serves to

achieve the smallest amount of fuel

consumption possible.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

The tyre pressure table indicates the

required pressure for a specific tyre

size only and shows all possible tyre

combinations 3 229.

For the tyres approved for this

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with the vehicle

or other national registration

documents.

For specific tyres the

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

If a tyre loses pressure the control

indicator w illuminates and a warning

message is displayed in the Driver

Information Centre.

In this case reduce speed, avoid

sharp cornering and strong braking.

Stop at next safe opportunity and

check tyre pressure.

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.

Control indicator w 3 86.

After adjusting tyre pressure initialise

system to extinguish the control

indicator and restart system.

The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

198

Vehicle care

Caution

After initialisation system

System initialisation

automatically calibrates to new tyre

pressures during driving. After longer

drive the system will adopt and

monitor new pressures.

Deflation detection system warns

just about low tyre pressure

condition and does not replace

regular tyre maintenance by the

driver.

Always check tyre pressure with cold

tyres.

System has to be reinitialised when:

In case of a system malfunction a

message is displayed in the Driver

Information Centre. Set correct tyre

pressure and reinitialise system. If the

failure continues to be displayed,

Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the tyre

deflation detection system and make

other vehicle modifications.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

Have the label with tyre pressures

replaced.

Vehicles with steel wheels: When

using locking wheel nuts, do not

attach wheel covers.

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

9 Warning

Tyre chains

The use of unsuitable tyres or

wheels may lead to accidents and

will invalidate the vehicle

operating permit.

If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels and

rear wheels periodically. If directional

tyres are mounted, ensure that the

direction of rotation of the wheels

remains the same.

Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every 6 years.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.

200

Vehicle care

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels.

Always use fine mesh chains that add

no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread

and the inboard sides (including chain

lock).

2. Pull speed limit label from sealant

bottle and place it in driver's

visible area.

9 Warning
