of skidding and hydroplaning on wet roads is
increased.
In addition, the tire grip is greatly reduced at
a low outside temperature and tire running
temperature.
#
Switch on the ESP
®
and adapt your
driving style accordingly.
#
Use i M+S tires at outside temper‐
atures of less than 50 °F (10 °C).
#
Only use the tires for their intended pur‐
pose.
Observe the following when selecting, installing
and replacing tires:
R
Furthermore, the use of certain tire types in
certain regions and areas of operation can
be highly beneficial.
R
Only use tires and wheels of the same type
(summer tires, winter tires, MOExtended
tires) and the same make.
R
Only install wheels of the same size on one
axle (left and right).
It is only permissible to install a different
wheel size in the event of a flat tire in order
to drive to the specialist workshop.
R
Vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring
system: All installed wheels must be equip‐
ped with functioning sensors for the tire
pressure monitoring system.
R
At temperatures below 45°F (7°C) use win‐
ter tires or all-season tires marked i M+S
for all wheels.
Winter tires provide the best possible grip in
wintry road conditions.
R
For M+S tires, only use tires with the same
tread.
R
Observe the maximum permissible speed for
the M+S tires installed.
If the tire's maximum speed is below that of
the vehicle, this must be indicated by an
appropriate label in the driver's field of
vision.
R
Break in new tires at moderate speeds for
the first 60 miles (100 km).
R
Replace the tires after six years at the latest,
regardless of wear.
R
When replacing with tires that do not fea‐
ture run-flat characteristics: vehicles with
MOExtended tires are not equipped with a
TIREFIT kit at the factory. Equip the vehicle
with a TIREFIT kit after replacing with tires
that do not feature run-flat characteristics,
e.g. winter tires.
