4.8.2
Wear pattern: checking
The wear pattern on the front tyres will indicate, for example, if
toe and camber settings should be checked:
♦ Feathering on tread indicates incorrect toe setting.
♦ One-sided tread wear is mainly attributed to incorrect camber.
When wear of this nature is detected, determine cause by check‐
ing alignment (repair measure).
4.8.3
Tyre 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.
4.8.4
General information
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. ⇒ Wheels and tyres guide; Rep. gr.
44 ; Wheels, tyres, vehicle geometry; Wheel and tyre com‐
binations .
♦ 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.
