Using winter tyres
G
WARNING
M+S tyres with a tyre tread depth of less
than
4
mm are not suitable for use in winter
as they do not provide sufficient traction.
There is a risk of accident.
M+S tyres with a tread depth of less than
4 mm must be replaced.
Have the vehicle winterproofed at a qualified
specialist workshop at the onset of winter.
X
At low temperatures, use only winter tyres
marked with M+S.
X
When road conditions are wintry, use
M+S tyres with the additional snowflake
symbol i.
These tyres allow driving safety systems,
e.g. ABS, to function optimally in the win-
ter.
X
Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread on
all wheels.
X
When driving with M+S tyres, observe the
specified maximum permissible speed.
X
Use only tyre types and sizes approved for
smart.
X
When using tyres with a specified direc-
tion of rotation, observe the arrow on the
sidewall indicating
the tyre's direction of
rotation.
After fitting M+S tyres:
X
Check tyre pressure.
X
Restart tyre pressure monitor.
X
If M+S tyres with a lower maximum permis-
sible speed than that of the vehicle are
fitted, affix an appropriate warning label
in the driver's field of vision. Using the
limiter, restrict the speed to the maximum
permissible speed for M+S tyres.
Using snow chains
G
WARNING
If you have fitted snow chains to the front
wheels,
they
may scrape against the vehicle
body or chassis components. This could
cause damage to the vehicle or the tyres.
There is a risk of an accident.
To avoid hazardous situations:
R
never fit snow chains on the front wheels
R
fit snow chains to the rear wheels in
pairs.
!
Vehicles with steel wheels: if you fit snow
chains on steel wheels, you may damage the
hub caps. Remove the hub caps from the rel-
evant wheels before fitting the snow
chains.
For safety reasons, smart recommends that you
only use snow chains that have been specially
approved for your vehicle by smart. Further
information can be obtained at a smart centre
or a qualified specialist workshop.
X
Observe country-specific regulations.
X
Use only snow chains approved for smart.
X
Fit snow chains on both rear wheels.
X
Use snow chains only on snow-covered
roads.

When driving with snow chains fitted, do
not exceed
the maximum permissible speed
of 50 km/h.
