You will find information about the
speed limit for your tires under “Tires
and wheels” in this section
(
page 383).
Check regularly, e.g. weekly or when re-
fueling:
the vehicle lighting
the condition of the tires
(
page 346) and the tire pressures
(
page 361)
the engine oil level ( page 322)
the brake fluid level ( page 331)
the fluid level in the windshield wash-
er system/headlamp cleaning sys-
tem reservoir (
page 333)
the contamination level of the rear
air-conditioning air cleaner
(
page 414)
Your vehicle is equipped with monolith-
ic-type catalytic converters, an impor-
tant element in conjunction with the
oxygen sensors to achieve substantial
control of the pollutants in the exhaust
emissions. Keep your vehicle in proper
operating condition by following our rec-
ommended maintenance instructions as
outlined in your Service Booklet.
Warning G
Exceeding the permissible maximum
speed can cause tire damage, which
could lead to loss of control of the vehi-
cle.
As the driver, you must find out about the
maximum speed of the vehicle and the re-
sulting permissible maximum speed of
the tires (tire and tire pressure).
Never exceed the speed limit for your
tires under any circumstances
( page 383).
