Vehicle features and

options

In the tire inflation pressure table

The tire inflation pressure table, refer to

page 233, contains all tire inflation pressure

specifications for the specified tire sizes at the

ambient temperature. The tire inflation pressure

values apply to tire sizes approved by the manu‐

facturer of the vehicle for the vehicle type.

This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐

cific and optional features offered with the series.

It also describes features that are not necessarily

available in your vehicle, for instance, due to the

selected options or country versions. This also

applies to safety-related functions and systems.

When using these functions and systems, the

applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐

served.

To identify the correct tire inflation pressure,

please note the following:

▷ Tire sizes of your vehicle.

▷ Maximum permitted driving speed.

Tire inflation pressure

Checking the tire inflation

pressure

General information

The tire inflation pressure and tire characteristics

influence the following:

General information

Tires heat up while driving. The tire inflation

pressure increases with the tire temperature.

▷ The service life of the tires.

▷ Road safety.

▷ Driving comfort.

Tires have a natural, consistent loss of tire infla‐

tion pressure.

▷ Driving dynamics.

▷ Fuel consumption.

The displays of inflation devices may under-read

by up to 0.1 bar/2 psi.

Safety information

Checking using tire inflation

pressure specifications in the tire

inflation pressure table

Warning

A tire with too little or no tire inflation pressure

may heat up significantly and sustain damage.

This will have a negative impact on aspects of

handling, such as steering and braking re‐

sponse. There is a risk of accident. Regularly

check the tire inflation pressure, and correct it

as needed, for instance twice a month and be‐

fore a long trip.

The tire inflation pressure specifications in the

tire inflation pressure table only relate to cold

tires or tires at the same temperature as the am‐

bient temperature.

Only check the tire inflation pressure levels when

the tires are cold, i.e.:

▷ Driving range of max. 1.25 miles/2 km has not

been exceeded.

▷ If the vehicle has not moved again for at least

2 hours after a trip.

MOBILITY

E.g.: Treadwear 200; Traction AA; Temperature

A

high temperature can cause the material of the

tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and exces‐

sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure.

The grade C corresponds to a level of perform‐

ance which all passenger car tires must meet un‐

der the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard

No. 109. Grades Band A represent higher levels

of performance on the laboratory test wheel than

the minimum required by law.

DOT Quality Grades

Treadwear

Traction AA A B C

Temperature A B C

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Fed‐

eral Safety Requirements in addition to these

grades.

Warning

The temperature grade for this tire is estab‐

lished for a tire that is properly inflated and not

overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflation, or

excessive loading, either separately or in com‐

bination, can cause heat buildup and possible

tire failure.

Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating

based on the wear rate of the tire when tested

under controlled conditions on a specified gov‐

ernment test course. E.g., a tire graded 150

would wear one and one-half, 1 g, times as well

on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon

the actual conditions of their use, however, and

may depart significantly from the norm due to

variations in driving habits, service practices and

differences in road characteristics and climate.

RSC – Run-flat tires

Run-flat tires, refer to page 239, are labeled with

a circular symbol containing the letters RSC

marked on the sidewall.

M+S

Traction

Winter and all-season tires with better cold

weather performance than summer tires.

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are

AA, A, B, and C.

Those grades represent the tire's ability to stop

on wet pavement as measured under controlled

conditions on specified government test surfa‐

ces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may

have poor traction performance.

Tire tread

Summer tires

Do not drive with a tire tread of less than

0.12 in/3 mm, otherwise there is an increased

risk of hydroplaning.

The traction grade assigned to this tire is based

on straight-ahead braking traction tests, and

does not include acceleration, cornering, hydro‐

planing, or peak traction characteristics.

Winter tires

Do not drive with a tire tread of less than

0.16 in/4 mm, as such tires are less suitable for

winter operation.

Temperature

The temperature grades are A, the highest, B,

and C, representing the tire's resistance to the

generation of heat and its ability to dissipate heat

when tested under controlled conditions on a

specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained

MOBILITY

▷ Tire inflation pressure too low.

▷ Vehicle overloading.

Minimum tread depth

▷ Incorrect tire storage.

Safety information

Warning

Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pressure,

which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There

is a risk of accident. If tire damage is suspected

while driving, immediately reduce speed and

stop. Have wheels and tires checked. For this

purpose, drive carefully to the nearest dealer’s

service center or another qualified service cen‐

ter or repair shop. Have vehicle towed or trans‐

ported as needed. Do not repair damaged tires,

but have them replaced.

Wear indicators are distributed around the tire's

circumference and have the legally required min‐

imum height of 0.063 inches/1.6 mm.

The positions of the wear indicators are marked

on the tire sidewall with TWI, Tread Wear Indica‐

tor.

Tire damage

Warning

Tires can become damaged by driving over ob‐

stacles, e.g., curbs or road damage, at high

speed. Larger wheels have a smaller tire cross-

section. The smaller the tire cross-section, the

higher the risk of tire damage. There is a dan‐

ger of accidents and property damage. If possi‐

ble, avoid driving over objects or road condi‐

tions that may damage tires, or drive over them

slowly and carefully.

General information

Inspect your tires regularly for damage, foreign

objects lodged in the tread, and tread wear.

Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces, as

well as debris, curbs and other obstacles can

cause serious damage to wheels, tires and sus‐

pension parts. This is more likely to occur with

low-profile tires, which provide less cushioning

between the wheel and the road. Be careful to

avoid road hazards and reduce your speed, es‐

pecially if your vehicle is equipped with low-pro‐

file tires.

Changing wheels and tires

Indications of tire damage or other vehicle mal‐

functions:

Mounting

Have mounting and wheel balancing carried out

by a dealer’s service center or another qualified

service center or repair shop.

▷ Unusual vibrations.

▷ Unusual tire or running noises.

▷ Unusual handling such as a strong tendency

to pull to the left or right.

Damage can be caused by the following situa‐

tions, for instance:

▷ Driving over curbs.

▷ Road damage.

Wheel and tire combination

General information

Recommended tire brands

You can ask the dealer's service center or an‐

other qualified service center or repair shop

about the correct wheel/tire combination and

wheel rim versions for the vehicle.

Safety information

For each tire size, the manufacturer of the vehi‐

cle recommends certain tire brands. The tire

brands can be identified by a star on the tire

sidewall.

Warning

Wheels and tires which are not suitable for your

vehicle can damage parts of the vehicle, for in‐

stance due to contact with the body due to tol‐

erances despite the same official size rating.

There is a risk of an accident. The manufac‐

turer of your vehicle strongly suggests that you

use wheels and tires that have been recom‐

mended by the vehicle manufacturer for your

vehicle type.

New tires

Tire traction is not optimal due to manufacturing

circumstances when tires are brand-new; they

achieve their full traction potential after a break-in

time.

Drive conservatively for the first

200 miles/300 km.

Warning

Incorrect wheel/tire combinations will have a

negative impact on the vehicle's handling and

on the function of a variety of systems, such as

the ABS Anti-lock Brake System or DSC Dy‐

namic Stability Control. There is a risk of acci‐

dent. To maintain good handling and vehicle

response, use only tires with a single tread con‐

figuration from a single manufacturer. The

manufacturer of the vehicle recommends that

you use wheels and tires that have been rec‐

ommended by the vehicle manufacturer for

your vehicle type. Following tire damage, have

the original wheel/tire combination remounted

on the vehicle as soon as possible.

Retreaded tires

Warning

Retreaded tires can have different tire casing

structures. With advanced age the service life

can be limited. There is a risk of an accident.

The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐

ommend the use of retreaded tires.

The manufacturer of the vehicle does not rec‐

ommend the use of retreaded tires.

Winter tires

Winter tires are recommended for operating on

winter roads.

Although so-called all-season M+S tires provide

better winter traction than summer tires, they

usually do not provide the same level of perform‐

ance as winter tires.

Maximum speed of winter tires

Run-flat tires

If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher

than the permissible speed for the winter tires,

then attach a label showing the permissible maxi‐

mum speed in the field of view. The label is avail‐

able from a dealer's service center or another

qualified service center or repair shop.

Concept

Run-flat tires permit continued driving under re‐

stricted conditions even in the event of a com‐

plete loss of tire inflation pressure.

With winter tires mounted, observe and do not

exceed the permissible maximum speed.

General information

The wheels consist of tires that are self-support‐

ing, to a limited degree, and possibly special

rims.

Changing runflat tires

For your own safety, use only runflat tires. Fur‐

ther information is available from a dealer's serv‐

ice center or another qualified service center or

repair shop.

The support of the sidewall allows the tire to re‐

main drivable to a restricted degree in the event

of a tire inflation pressure loss.

Follow the instructions for continued driving with

a flat tire.

Rotating wheels between axles

Different wear patterns can occur on the front

and rear axles depending on individual driving

conditions. The tires can be rotated in pairs be‐

tween the axles to achieve even wear. Further in‐

formation is available from a dealer's service cen‐

ter or another qualified service center or repair

shop. After rotating, check the tire pressure and

correct, if needed.

Safety information

Warning

The vehicle handles differently when a run-flat

tire has insufficient or no tire pressure; for in‐

stance, reduced lane stability when braking,

braking distances are longer and the self-steer‐

ing properties will change. There is a risk of ac‐

cident. Drive moderately and do not exceed a

speed of 50 mph/80 km/h.

Storing tires

Tire inflation pressure

Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres‐

sure indicated on the side wall of the tire.

Label

Storage

Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and dark

place.

Always protect tires against all contact with oil,

grease, and solvents.

Do not leave tires in plastic bags.

A vehicle that is raised on a vehicle jack may fall

off of the jack if lateral forces are exerted on it.

There is a risk of injury and risk of damage to

property. While the vehicle is raised, do not ex‐

ert lateral forces on the vehicle or pull abruptly

on the vehicle. Have a stuck wheel removed by

a dealer’s service center or another qualified

service center or repair shop.

Warning

The jack, issued by the vehicle manufacturer, is

provided in order to perform a wheel change in

the event of a breakdown. The jack is not de‐

signed for frequent use; for example, changing

from summer to winter tires. Using the jack fre‐

quently may cause it to become jammed or

damaged. There is a risk of injury and risk of

damage to property. Only use the jack to attach

an emergency or spare wheel in the event of a

breakdown.

Securing the vehicle against

rolling

General information

The vehicle manufacturer recommends to addi‐

tionally secure the vehicle against rolling away

when changing a wheel.

Warning

On a level surface

On soft, uneven or slippery ground, for example

snow, ice, tiles, etc., the vehicle jack can slip

away. There is a risk of injury. If possible,

change the wheel on a flat, solid, and slip-re‐

sistant surface.

Warning

The vehicle jack is optimized for lifting the vehi‐

cle and for the jacking points on the vehicle

only. There is a risk of injury. Do not lift any

other vehicle or cargo using the vehicle jack.

Place chocks or other suitable objects, for exam‐

ple a rock, in front of and behind the wheel that is

diagonally opposite to the wheel that you wish to

change.

Warning

When the vehicle jack is not inserted into the

jacking point provided for this purpose, the ve‐

hicle may be damaged or the vehicle jack may

slip when it is being cranked up. There is a risk
