Tyres

Tyres of size 185/60 R 15 are only approved as winter tyres.

Tyres of size 185/65 R 15 are only approved as winter tyres on vehicles with a sports chassis. We recommend that you contact a workshop in order to find out whether your vehicle is equipped with a sports chassis.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at temperatures below 7 °C and should therefore be fitted on all wheels. Tyres of size 195/60 R 15, 215/45 R 17 and 225/35 R 18 must not be used as winter tyres. Run-flat winter tyres may only be used on factory approved alloy wheels.

In accordance with country-specific regulations, affix the speed sticker in the driver's field of view.

Run-flat tyres

Run-flat tyres have reinforced, selfsupporting sidewalls, which ensure
that the tyres always have a certain amount of driveability, even when there is no pressure.

Run-flat tyres are only permitted on vehicles with electronic stability program and deflation detection system.

Caution:
Check tyre pressures regularly even if run-flat tyres are fitted. Depending on tyre manufacturer, runflat tyres can be identified from a marking on the tyre wall. E.g. ROF = RunonFlat for Goodyear or SSR = Self Supporting Runflat Tyre for Continental. Use of run-flat tyres is only permitted in combination with factory approved alloy wheels. Do not use a tyre repair kit. The ECO tyre pressure must not be used. Run-flat tyres must not be combined with standard tyres. If converting to standard tyres, note that the vehicle is not equipped with a spare wheel or tyre repair kit.

Vehicles with engine Z 10 XEP: Runflat tyres are not permitted for all rear axle applications. We recommend contacting a workshop.

Driving with a damaged tyre A loss in tyre pressure is indicated by the deflation detection system. If a tyre has no pressure, continued driving is possible
■ at a speed of max. 80 km/h.

Warning:
The vehicle will be more difficult to steer and handle. Braking distance will be longer.

Adapt driving style and speed to the changed conditions.
