4.6.3

Tread depth (including spare wheel):

Checking

– Check tyre tread depth.
Minimum tread depth: 1.6 mm

Note

This figure may vary according to legislation in individual coun‐

tries. Your importer will inform you about this.

The minimum tread depth is reached when the tyres have

worn down level with the 1.6 mm high tread wear indicators

-arrows- positioned at intervals around the tyre.

If the tread depth is approaching the minimum allowed depth,

inform the customer.

4.6.4

General notes

WARNING

♦ For safety reasons, only tyres of same type and tread pat‐

tern should be fitted on a vehicle! Approved wheel and tyre

combinations, e.g. ⇒  Running gear; Rep. gr.  44

♦ On vehicles with four-wheel drive, tyres of the same type

and tread pattern must be used. Otherwise the self-locking

centre differential may be damaged.

Note

Tyre pressures for the relevant model can also be found on a

sticker. It is attached to the inside of tank flap or to B-pillar.

Please note that the pressures on the sticker apply to cold

tyres. Do not reduce increased pressures of warm tyres.

Adjust the tyre pressure to suit the vehicle load.

If no inflation pressure is shown for the spare wheel, then in‐

flate the spare wheel to the highest inflation pressure for the

vehicle.

Please note that basic setting should be performed on vehicles

with tyre pressure monitoring after every pressure change
