Safety information
Warning
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation pres-
sure, which can lead to loss of vehicle con-
trol. There is a risk of accident, injury, and
property damage. If tire damage is suspected
while driving, immediately reduce speed and
stop. Have wheels and tires checked. To do
so, drive carefully to an authorized service
center or another qualified service center or
repair shop. Have the vehicle towed or trans-
ported as needed. Do not repair damaged
tires, but have them replaced.
The tire manufacturer’s wear indicators are
distributed over the tire circumference. These
indicators have a height of min. 0.06 in/1.6 mm
and serve as an indicator for tire tread wear.
The positions of the wear indicators are
marked on the tire sidewall with TWI, Tread
Wear Indicator.
Warning
The wheels, tires and chassis components
can become damaged when driving over
curbs, road damage, or other obstacles.
Larger wheels have a smaller tire cross-sec-
tion. The smaller the tire cross-section, the
higher the risk of tire damage. There is a risk
of accident, injury, and property damage. If
possible, avoid driving over curbs, road dam-
age or other obstacles, or drive over them
slowly and carefully.
