Marking : shows the tread wear indicator
(TWI). The arrow indicates the placement of
the tire tread.
Do not drive with tires which have too little
tread depth. tire traction on wet road surfaces
decreases significantly when the tread depth
is less than 1 /
8
in (3 mm).
Treadwear indicators (TWI) are required by
law. Six indicators are positioned over the tire
tread. They are visible once the tread depth
is approximately
1
/
16
in (1.6 mm). If this is the
case, the tire is so worn that it must be
replaced.
The recommended tread depth for summer
tires is at least
1
/
8
in (3 mm). The
recommended tread depth for winter tires is
at least
1
/
6
in (4 mm).
Selecting, mounting and replacing
tires
R
Only mount tires and wheels of the same
type and make.
R
Only mount approved tires of the correct
size onto the wheels.
R
Tires are supplied with a protective layer
from the factory. Break in new tires at
moderate speeds for the first 60 miles
(100 km). They only reach their full
performance after this distance.
R
Do not drive with tires which have too little
tread depth, as this significantly reduces
the traction on wet roads (hydroplaning).
R
Replace the tires after six years at the
latest, regardless of wear. This also applies
to the spare wheel.

Important safety notes
G
WARNING
Underinflated or overinflated tires pose the
following risks:
R
the tires may burst, especially as the load
and vehicle speed increase.
R
the tires may wear excessively and/or
unevenly, which may greatly impair tire
traction.
R
the driving characteristics, as well as
steering and braking, may be greatly
impaired.
There is a risk of an accident.
Follow recommended tire inflation pressures
and check the pressure of all the tires
including the spare wheel:
R
monthly, at least
R
if the load changes
R
before beginning a long journey
R
under different operating conditions, e.g.
off-road driving
If necessary, correct the tire pressure.
