Forthecorrectinationpressure,pleaserefertothetablein
thechapteron“TechnicalData“ortheoperatinginstructions
forthebasicvehicle.
4.4 Tread depth
Replaceyourtyresassoonasthetreaddepthisonly1.6mm.
Tyre manufacturers‘ recommendations
• Irrespectiveoftheirtreaddepth,tyresshouldbechanged
every6years.
• Avoidhardimpactsagainstcurbs,potholesorother
 obstacles.
Tyresageeveniftheyareusedseldomornotatall.
Tyresmaynotbeexchangedcrosswise,i.e.fromtherightside
ofthevehicletotheleftandviceversa.
Theminimumtreaddepthgivesyouonlythebarestamountof
safetywhiledriving.Thefollowingrecommendationsmustbe
observed:
Safetylimitinsummer:3.0mm
Safetylimitinwinter:4.0mm
