Tyres and wheels
General information
In the interests of safety, smart gmbh
recommends that you use tyres that it has
specially approved for your car. These
tyres have been chosen to suit control
systems such as abs and esp. If you use
other tyres, smart gmbh is unable to ac!
cept any responsibility for damage re!
sulting from their use. Information on
tyres is available from any smart center.
If you use tyres other than those
tested and recommended by smart gmbh,
their characteristics such as road be!
haviour, noise and wear rate etc. could be
poorer.
Dimensional deviations and a change in
the way the tyres are compressed under
load during operation could in addition
cause them to rub against the body or axle
components. This could result in damage
to the tyre or vehicle.
smart gmbh neither tests nor recommends
the use of retreaded tyres. The prelimi!
nary stages of damage cannot always be
detected on tyres that are being retreat!
ed. smart gmbh is therefore unable to
guarantee driving safety with retreaded
tyres.
Modifications to the brake system and
wheels and the use of spacer and brake
dust rings are not permissible. In both
cases the vehicle's operating approval
will be nullified.
Accident risk!
Use only the tyre types, tyre sizes
and wheel sizes that are approved for
your type of vehicle.
If you fit different wheels:
! the wheel brakes or suspension com!
ponents could be damaged.
! clearance between the wheels and
tyres is no longer assured.
