USING WINTER TIRES
CAUTION
Make sure that you use the correct lug
nuts for the type of wheel the winter
tires are fitted to.
If winter tires are used, make sure that the
tire pressures are correct. See Technical
Specifications (page 216).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
Do not use snow chains on snow-free
roads.
Only fit snow chains to specified
tires. See Technical Specifications
(page 216).
CAUTION
If your vehicle is fitted with wheel
trims, remove them before fitting
snow chains.
Note: The ABS will continue to operate
normally.
Only use snow chains of 10 millimeter or
smaller.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
Vehicles with stability control
(ESP)
Vehicles with stability control (ESP) may
exhibit some unusual driving
characteristics which can be reduced by
switching traction control off. See Using
Stability Control (page 141).
TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING
SYSTEM
WARNING
The tire pressure monitoring system
is not a substitute for manually
checking tire pressures. You should
check the tire pressure periodically using
a tire gauge, see When Inflating the Tires
in this chapter. Failure to correctly maintain
tire pressures could increase the risk of tire
failure, loss of control, vehicle rollover and
personal injury.
You must check the tire pressures
(including the spare tire where applicable)
every two weeks when the tires are cold.
You must inflate the tires to the correct
pressure. The tire pressures are also on the
tire inflation pressure label (located on the
edge of driver door or the B-Pillar).
As a driver assistance feature, your vehicle
has a tire pressure monitoring system. A
warning lamp will illuminate when one or
more of the tires are significantly
under-inflated. If the low tire pressure
warning lamp illuminates, you should stop
your vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so,
check the tires and inflate them to the
correct pressure.
Driving on under-inflated tires can:
• Cause them to overheat.
• Lead to tire failure.
• Reduce fuel efficiency.
• Reduce tire life.
• Affect vehicle handling or stopping
ability.
