To make sure the front and rear tyres of
your vehicle wear evenly and last longer,
we recommend that you swap the tyres
from front to rear and vice versa at regular
intervals of between 5 000 and 10 000
km (3 000 and 6 000 miles).
CAUTION
Do not scrub the sidewalls of the
tyres when you are parking.
If you have to mount a kerb, do so slowly
and approach it with the wheels at
right-angles to the kerb.
Examine the tyres regularly for cuts,
foreign objects and uneven wear of the
tread. Uneven wear could mean that the
wheel alignment is outside specification.
Check the tyre pressures (including the
spare) when cold, every two weeks.
USING WINTER TYRES
CAUTION
Make sure that you use the correct
wheel nuts for the type of wheel the
winter tyres are fitted to.
If winter tyres are used, make sure that
the tyre pressures are correct. See
Technical specifications (page 123).
USING SNOW CHAINS
WARNINGS
Do not exceed 50 km/h (30 mph).
Do not use snow chains on
snow-free roads.
Do not fit snow chains to 205/55 R
16 tyres.
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 small link snow chains.
Only use snow chains on the front wheels.
