Wheel change between axles
Different abrasion patterns can occur on the
front and rear axles depending on individual
driving conditions. The tires can be rotated
in pairs between the axles to achieve even
abrasion. Further information is available
from a dealer's service center or another
qualified service center or repair shop. After
changing, check the tire pressure and cor-
rect, if needed.
Storing tires
Tire pressure
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation
pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.
Storage
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and
dark place.
Always protect tires against all contact with
oil, grease, and solvents.
Do not leave tires in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Runflat tires
Principle
Runflat tires permit continued driving un-
der limited conditions even in the event of a
complete tire pressure loss.
General information
The wheels are composed of tires that are
self-supporting to a limited degree.
The reinforcement of the sidewall allows
the tire to remain drivable to a limited de-
gree in the event of a tire pressure loss.
Follow the instructions for continued driv-
ing with a flat tire.
Safety information
Warning
The vehicle handles differently when a
runflat tire has insufficient or no tire pres-
sure; for instance, reduced directional sta-
bility when braking, braking distances are
longer and the self-steering properties will
change. There is a risk of accident. Drive
moderately and do not exceed a speed of
50
mph/80
km/h.
Identification
Runflat tires are labeled with a circular icon
containing the letters RSC marked on the
tire sidewall.
