Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tires G WARNING Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident. Check the tires regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tires immediately. R Regularly check the wheels and tires of your vehicle for damage (e[...]

R Do not drive with tires which have too little tread depth, as this significantly reduces the traction on wet roads (hydroplaning). R Replace the tires after six years at the latest, regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel. The service life of tires depends on the following factors amongst other things: R dri[...]

Mounting an emergency spare wheel may severely impair the driving characteristics. There is a risk of an accident. To avoid hazardous situations: R adapt your driving style accordingly and drive carefully. R never install more than one spare wheel or emergency spare wheel that differs in size. R only use a spare wheel or emergency spare wheel of a [...]

Follow recommended tire inflation pressures and check the pressure of all the tires including the spare wheel: R monthly, at least R if the load changes R before beginning a long journey R under different operating conditions, e.g. off-road driving If necessary, correct the tire pressure. The recommended tire pressures for the tires mounted at the [...]
