Vehicle Tools

Depending on the version, the vehicle

tools are located in a toolbag in the load

compartment either behind the third row

or below the floor cover.

For vehicles with spare wheel the jack

and wheel wrench is located in a toolbox

inside the spare wheel. ðpage154

Wheels And Tires

Tyre condition, wheel condition

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.

● Insert a screwdriver in the recess of the

cover and remove it.

● Pull the bulb from the bulb holder and

replace it.

● Attach the cover.

Interior Lights

Have the following bulbs replaced by a

workshop:

Winter Tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.

Vehicle Care

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.

: up to 168 mph

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.

All tyre sizes are permitted as winter

tyres ðpage170

Tire Designations

E.g. 215/60 R17 96H

Directional tyres

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.

215 : tyre width, mm

60 : cross-section ratio (tyre height to

tyre width), %

The tyre pressure information label on

the left or right door frame indicates

the original equipment tyres and the

corresponding tyre pressures.

The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.

Always inflate the spare tyre to the

pressure specified for full load.

Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and fuel

economy and will increase tyre wear.

Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options. For the correct tyre

pressure value, follow the procedure

below:

: belt type: Radial

Tyre Pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any long

journey.

Do not forget the spare wheel.

ðpage170

This also applies to vehicles with tyre

deflation detection system.

1. Identify the respective tyre.

2. Identify the engine identifier code.

Vehicle Care

Tyre pressure values provided on the

tyre information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.

The pressure increases by nearly 10 kPa

for a 10 °C temperature increase. This

must be considered when warm tyres are

checked.

position is indicated by markings on the

sidewall.

ðpage167

The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations.

ðpage170

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.

For the tyres approved for your vehicle,

refer to the Certificate of Conformity

provided with your vehicle or other

national registration documents.

The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressure.

Tread Depth

Check tread depth at regular intervals.

For safety reasons, it is recommended

that the tread depth of the tyres on one

axle should not vary by more than 2 mm.

Changing Tire And Wheel Size

Warning

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme systems and

make other vehicle modifications.

Have the label with tyre pressures

replaced.

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.

Warning

The use of unsuitable tyres or wheels

may lead to accidents and will

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.

invalidate the vehicle operating permit.

Wheel Covers

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

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.

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

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During driving,

tyre temperature and pressure increase.

150

Vehicle Care

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must not

have a rim protection ridge.

Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels.

Tire Repair Kit

Minor damage to the tire tread can be

repaired with the tire repair kit.

Do not remove foreign bodies from the

tires.

Only use tyre chains designed to be used

with tyre type of the vehicle:

● For 16 inch and 17 inch tyres, only use

fine mesh tyre chains that add no more

than 9 mm to the tyre tread and the

inboard sides (including chain lock).

Tire damage exceeding 4 mm or that is

at tire's sidewall cannot be repaired with

the tire repair kit.

Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel covers

could lead to sudden pressure loss and

thereby accidents.

● For 18 inch tyres, only use Polaire

PSGB 60 tyre chains.

Warning

Do not drive faster than 50 mph. Do not

use for a lengthy period.Steering and

handling may be affected.

Vehicles with steel wheel rims: When

using locking wheel nuts, do not attach

wheel covers.

Note

The use of tyre chains and the maximum

allowed speed is regulated by country-

specific legislation.

Temporary spare wheel: Do not use

wheel covers

In the case of a flat tire:

When fitting the tyre chains follow the

instructions provided by the manufacturer

of the tyre chains.

After having fitted the tyre chains, stop

the vehicle after having driven a short

distance and make sure that the tyre

chains are correctly tightened.

Apply the parking brake and engage first

gear, reverse gear or P.

Tyre Chains

Depending on version the location of the

tire repair kit is different:

● at the left side of the load compartment

● below the third row seats with the seats

folded

Warning

● behind the third row seat with the seats

unfolded.

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

1. Remove the sealant bottle and the

compressor.

Temporary spare wheel

The use of tyre chains is not permitted on

the temporary spare wheel.
