Winter tires
Storing tires
Tire pressure
Do not exceed the maximum tire inflation pres-
sure indicated on the tire sidewall.
Storage
▷
Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry and
dark place.
▷
Always protect tires against all contact with
oil, grease, and solvents.
Winter tires are recommended for operating on
winter roads.
▷
▷
Do not leave the tires in plastic bags.
Remove dirt from wheels or tires.
Winter tires can be identified by the moun-
tain/snowflake icon and the letters M+S on the
tire sidewall.
Repairing a flat tire
So-called all-season tires with M+S marking
but without mountain and snowflake icon have
better winter properties than summer tires.
As a rule, all-season tires do not perform the
same as winter tires.
Safety precautions
▷
Park the vehicle on solid and non-slip
ground at a safe distance from road traffic.
▷
▷
▷
Turn on the hazard warning system.
Set the parking brake.
Wheel change between axles
Turn the steering wheel until the front
wheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.
Warning
A wheel change between the axles on vehi-
cles with different tire sizes or rim sizes on
the front and rear axles can cause damage
to the tires and the vehicle. There is a risk of
accident, injury, or property damage. Do not
rotate the tires between the axles on vehicles
with different tire sizes or rim sizes on the
front and rear axles.
▷
▷
As soon as permitted by the traffic flow,
have all vehicle occupants get out and
make sure that they remain outside the
hazardous area such as behind a guardrail.
If necessary, set up the hazard triangle or
hazard warning lights at an appropriate
distance.
Different abrasion patterns can occur on the
front and rear axles depending on individual
driving conditions. The tires can be rotated in
pairs between the axles to achieve even abra-
sion. For more information, contact an author-
ized service center or another qualified service
center or repair shop. After changing, check
the tire pressure and correct, if needed.
Tire repair set
Principle
The tire repair set is used to temporarily seal
minor tire damage so that it is possible to con-
tinue driving.
