Wheels and tyres Worn tyres and incorrect tyre pressures adversely affect the
driving and braking behaviour of the vehicle and can cause
accidents.
Always ensure that:
Rims and tyres must be approved for the vehicle ( motor
vehicle registration certificate part I).
Regularly (during every refuelling stop, for example) check
the proper condition and correct tyre pressure of the vehicle
( Section "Tyre pressure table")
Immediately replace worn tyres.
For the first trip, after every wheel fitting, and after every
wheel change, re-tighten the lug nuts after 50 km (30 miles).
During longer trips, check the lug nuts for firm seat at regular
intervals.
Tyres must not be older than six years. The same applies for
spare tyres - even if they have not been used.
Use summer tyres or snow tyres in accordance with the
outdoor temperatures in the country of travel.
Depending on the tyres, comply with the specified tread
regulations.
Prior to a longer parking period, offload the tyres (e.g. jack up
the vehicle, dismount the wheels, apply a preserving agent to
the tyres and store them horizontally or on a wheel tree in a
dry and frost-free location).
Snow chains When using snow chains, compliance with local rules and
regulations is mandatory.
Only install the snow chains to the drive wheels. Compliance
with the manufacturer instructions is mandatory. After driving
several meters, stop and inspect the snow chains for proper
fit and tension.
When snow chains are installed, always drive slowly and
travel only on snow-covered roads.
