permitted and may invalidate the vehicle's
general operating permit.
R
Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring sys-
tem: all fitted wheels must be equipped with
functioning sensors for the tyre pressure mon-
itoring system.
R
At temperatures below 7 °C use winter tyres
or all-season tyres marked
i
M+S for all
wheels.
Winter tyres provide the best possible grip in
wintry road conditions.
R
For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
the M+S tyres fitted.
If the tyre's maximum speed is below that of
the vehicle, this must be indicated by an
appropriate label in the driver's field of vision.
R
Run in new tyres at moderate speeds for the
first 100 km.
R
Replace the tyres after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear.

When replacing with tyres that do not feature
run-flat characteristics: vehicles with
MOExtended tyres are not equipped with a
TIREFIT kit at the factory. Equip the vehicle

that do not feature run-flat characteristics,
e.g. winter tyres.
