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
