180 Vehicle Care
Tyres age, even if they are not
used. We recommend tyre
replacement every 6 years.
Changing tyre and wheel size
If tyres of a different size than those
fitted at the factory are used, it may
be necessary to reprogramme the
speedometer as well as the nominal
tyre pressure and to make other
vehicle modifications
After converting to a different tyre
size, have the label with tyre
pressures replaced.
{
Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheels
may lead to accidents and will
invalidate the vehicle type
approval.
Wheel Covers
Wheel covers and tyres that are
factory approved for the respective
vehicle and comply with all of the
relevant wheel and tyre combination
requirements must be used.
If the wheel covers and tyres used
are not factory approved, the tyres
must not have a rim protection
ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake
cooling.
{
Warning
Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel
covers could lead to sudden
pressure loss and thereby
accidents.
Tyre Chains
Tyre chains are only permitted on
the front wheels.
Always use fine mesh chains that
add no more than 10 mm to the tyre
tread and the inboard sides
(including chain lock).
{
Warning
Damage may lead to tyre
blowout.
Tyre chains are only permitted on
tyres of size 165/65 R14.
Tyre chains are not permitted on
tyres of size 185/55 R15 and
195/45 R16.
The use of tyre chains is not
permitted on the temporary spare
wheel.
Tyre Repair Kit
Minor damage to the tyre tread can
be repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from
the tyres.
