Safety information
Warning
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pres-
sure, which can lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol. There is a risk of accident. If tire dam-
age is suspected while driving, immediately
reduce speed and stop. Have wheels and
tires checked. For this purpose, drive care-
fully to the nearest authorized service center
or another qualified service center or repair
shop. Have vehicle towed or transported as
needed. Do not repair damaged tires, but
have them replaced.
Warning
Tires can become damaged by driving over
obstacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at
high speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tire
cross-section. The smaller the tire cross-sec-
tion, the higher the risk of tire damage. There
may be a risk of accidents and risk of dam-
age to property. If possible, avoid driving over
objects or road conditions that may damage
tires, or drive over them slowly and carefully.

Safety information
Warning

gests that you use wheels and tires that have

turer for your vehicle type.
