Tires
Tread wear indicators (TWI) are
required by law. These indicators are
located in six places on the tread cir
cumference and become visible at a
depth of approx. 2 mm (Vie in), at
which point the tire is considered worn
and should be replaced.
The tread wear indicator appears as a
solid band across the tread.
W arning!
Do not allow your tires to wear
down too far. With less than 3 mm
(Vs
in) of tread, the adhesion
properties on a wet road are
sharply reduced.
Depending upon the weather and/
or road surface (conditions), the
traction varies widely.
Specified tire pressures must be
maintained. This applies particularly if
the tires are subjected to high loads
(e.g. high speeds, heavy loads, high
ambient temperatures).
Aquaplaning
Depending on the depth of the water
layer on the road, aquaplaning may
occur, even at low speeds and with
new tires. Avoid track grooves in the
road and apply brakes cautiously in
the rain.
Tire traction
The safe speed on a wet, snow
covered or icy road is always lower
than on a dry road.
You should pay particular attention to
the condition of the road as soon as
the prevailing temperatures fall close
to the freezing point.
We recommend M+S radial-ply tires
for the winter season for all four
wheels to insure normal balanced
handling characteristics. On packed
snow, they can reduce your stopping
distance as compared with summer
tires. Stopping distance, however, is
still considerably greater than when
the road is wet or dry.
W arning!
Do not drive with a flat tire. A flat
tire affects the ability to steer or
brake the vehicle. You may lose
control of the car. Continued
driving with a flat tire or driving at
high speed with a flat tire will
cause excessive heat build-up and
possibly a fire, or tire blow-out.
W arning!
If ice has form ed on the road, tire
traction will be substantially
reduced. Under such weather
conditions, drive, steer and brake
with extrem e caution.
