CAUTION
(2) If the tyres have arrows (A) indi-
cating the correct direction of
rotation, swap the front and rear
tyres on the left–hand side of the
vehicle and the front and rear
tyres on the right–hand side of
the vehicle separately. Keep each
tyre on its original side of the ve-
hicle. When fitting the tyres, make
sure the arrows point in the direc-
tion in which the wheels will turn
when the vehicle moves forward.
Any tyre whose arrow points in
the wrong direction will not per-
form to its full potential.
CAUTION
(3) Avoid the combined use of differ-
ent types of tyres and disk
wheels. This can affect driving
safety.

The use of snow tyres is recommended for
driving on snow and ice. To preserve driving
stability, mount snow tyres of the same size
and tread pattern on all four wheels.
Snow tyres worn more than 50% are no
longer suitable for use as snow tyres.
Snow tyres which do not meet specifications
must not be used.
CAUTION
(1) Observe permissible maximum
speed for your snow tyres and the
legal speed limit.
(2) If snow tyre must be used,
change to following tyres:
D 195/60R15 snow tyre (M+S)
D 175/65R15 snow tyre (M+S)
D 195/55R15 snow tyre (M+S)
Also remember that in order to
guarantee safety, the vehicle must
never be driven at speeds in ex-
cess of 160 km/h, when 175/65R15
snow tyres are being used.
