WARNING Risk of accident due to us-
ing wheels and tyres of incorrect
size
If wheels and tyres of the wrong size are
used, the brake or suspension compo-
nents may become damaged.
► Please replace wheels and tyres with
those that fulfill the specifications of
the original parts.
When replacing tyres, make sure the
following information is correct:
► Name
► Manufacturer
► Type
WARNING Risk of injury due to ex-
ceeding the specified tyre load-
bearing capacity or the permissible
speed rating
Exceeding the specified tyre load-bear-
ing capacity or the permissible speed
rating may lead to tyre damage and
bursting.
► Use tyres of types and sizes ap-
proved by smart for your vehicle.
Consult a smart Authorized Service
Partner for any question.
► Observe the tyre load-bearing ca-
pacity rating and maximum speed
permitted for your vehicle.
NOTE Vehicle or tyre damage from
using tyres of an unapproved type
and size
Using tyres of an unapproved type and
size may adversely affect the handling
performance and energy consumption.
In addition, other tyre sizes may cause
the tyres to come into contact with the
body and axle components when under
load. This may damage the vehicle or
the tyres.
► For safety reasons, please use tyres,
wheels and accessories approved by
smart for your vehicle.
WARNING Risk of accident due to
driving with retread tyres
smart neither tests nor recommends the
use of retread tyres as some existing
damage to retread tyres is difficult to
detect. Therefore, driving safety cannot
be guaranteed.
► Never use retread tyres.
WARNING Risk of accident due to
wheels and tyres being damaged
from driving over obstacles
The risk of wheels and tyres being dam-
aged increases when driving over ob-
stacles, which may cause accidents to
occur.
► Proceed with caution and drive
slowly when encountering obstacles
and potholes, and find an alternative
route if possible.
