RIMS AND TIRES
348)
Alloy rims, tubeless radial tires.
All approved tires can also be found in
the Vehicle Registration.
WARNING In the event of any
discrepancies between the Owner
Handbook and the Vehicle Registration,
the latter prevails. For safe operation, it
is essential that the vehicle is fitted with
tires of the same make and type on all
wheels.
WARNING Do not use inner tubes with
tubeless tires.
WARNING Using tires of a different size,
type, brand or design at the front and
rear may adversely affect car driveability.
We recommend using tires approved by
the manufacturer. The manufacturer
cannot determine if unapproved tires
are suitable for use and therefore
cannot guarantee vehicle safety in those
conditions.
