13.1
General
Observe:
Check the tyres regularly (every 2 weeks) for equal tread wear, tread depth
and external damage.
Replace tyres at the latest, when the minimum depth of tread stipulated by
law is reached.
Always use tyres of the same model, same brand and same style (summer
and winter tyres).
Only use tyres approved for the wheel rim type fitted. The permitted rim and
tyre sizes are quoted in the vehicle documents and the authorised dealer
or service centre will always be glad to give you advice.
Run-in new tyres for approx. 100 km (60 miles) at low speed since only
then do they reach full strength.
X
Check tyre pressure before a journey or every 2 weeks. Wrong tyre
pressure causes excessive wear and can lead to damage or even to tyre
burst. You can lose control of the vehicle.
Z
Only check the tyre pressure on cold tyres.
Z
Tubeless tyres have been installed on the vehicle. Never install tubes in
these tyres.
Z
Read the instruction manual for the base vehicle.
Z
Depending on the base vehicle and model the vehicles are only equipped
with tyre repair kit as standard.
Z
In the case of a puncture, pull over to the side of the road. Make vehicle
safe with a hazard warning triangle. Switch on the warning lights.
Z
Tyres on vehicles with tandem axles may wear faster.
Z
Tyres must not be older than 6 years as the material will become brittle
over time. The four-digit DOT number on the tyre flank indicates the date
of manufacture. The first two digits designate the week, the last two digits
the year of manufacture.
Example:
Week 05, year of manufacture 2011.
