13.1 General
Observe:
„
Check the tyres regularly (every 2 weeks) for equal tread wear, tread depth
and external damage.
„
Replace tyres at the latest, when the minimum depth of tread stipulated by
law is reached.
Z
The tyres are part of the base vehicle. Information regarding tyre pressure
can be found in the instruction manual of the base vehicle.
Z
The vehicles are not equipped with a spare wheel. As standard, a tyre
repair kit is included for inflating the flat tyre with foam.
X
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle (see section 13.5).
Z
Check the tyre pressure on cold tyres. Do not reduce the higher tyre pres-
sure when the tyres are warm.
Z
Tubeless tyres have been installed on the vehicle. Never install tubes in
these tyres.

Read the instruction manual for the base vehicle.

Depending on the base vehicle and model the vehicles are only equipped
with tyre repair kit as standard.

In the case of a puncture, pull over to the side of the road. Make vehicle
safe with a hazard warning triangle. Switch on the warning lights.

Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material will become brittle
over time. The four-digit DOT number (Fig. 87,1) on the tyre flank indicates
the date of manufacture. The first two digits designate the week, the last
two digits the year of manufacture.
Example: Week 07, year of manufacture 2014.
