Replacing run flat tyres
WARNINGS
Make sure that the workshop is
aware that your vehicle is
equipped with special run flat tyres.
Never repair or reuse run flat
tyres that are damaged or have
been driven on run flat.
If a run flat tyre has to be replaced,
have the respective wheel rim
inspected for any damage.
Do not fit a mixture of run flat
and standard tyres. In isolated
cases, a standard tyre can be
temporarily mounted on a vehicle
otherwise equipped with run flat
tyres. It must be pointed out to the
driver that the standard tyre has no
runflat properties.
Do not fit run flat tyres on
vehicles that were not originally
fitted with them. Please contact your
dealer for more details regarding
compatibility.
Run flat tyres may be sold and
mounted only by specially trained and
certified tyre dealers.
TYRE CARE
E70415
To make sure the front and rear tyres
of your vehicle wear evenly and last
longer, we recommend that you
swap the tyres from front to rear and
vice versa at regular intervals of 5
000 to 10 000 km (3 000 to 6 000
miles).
CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tyres when you are parking.
If you have to mount a kerb, do so
slowly and approach it with the
wheels at right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts,
foreign objects and uneven wear of
the tread. Uneven wear could mean
that the wheel alignment is outside
specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including
the spare) when cold, every 2 weeks.
