setting off on a long trip. Please do not forget the spare wheel when checking the WARNING (continued)
tyres.
The tyre inflation pressures for summer tyres are indicated on the inside of the fuel • Tyres which are 6 years old or more should only be fitted in exceptional
filler flap ⇒ page 237, fig. 218. The inflation pressures for winter tyres are 20 kPa cases and when adopting an appropriately cautious style of driving.
(0.2 bar) higher than those for summer tyres ⇒ page 241.
The tyre pressure should be at the highest pressure specified for your vehicle at all For the sake of the environment
times. Tyres which are insufficiently inflated increase your fuel consumption.
The tyre inflation pressure of the emergency spare wheel R 18 is 420 kPa (4.2 bar).
Always check the inflation pressure of tyres when cold. Do not reduce the higher Wear indicators
pressure of warm tyres. Adapt the inflation pressure of the tyres accordingly if your
vehicle is carrying a significantly higher payload.
Driving style
Fast cornering, sharp acceleration and braking (squealing tyres) increase wear-and-
tear on your tyres.
Balancing wheels
The wheels of a new vehicle are balanced. There are a wide range of influences
when driving which may result in an imbalance and which makes themselves felt
through vibration in the steering. Fig. 219 Tyre tread with wear
You should have the wheels rebalanced since any imbalance increases wear-and-indicators
tear on the steering, the suspension and tyres. A wheel must also be rebalanced
when a new tyre is fitted and each time a tyre is repaired.The base of the tread of the original tyres has wear indicators 1.6 mm high, installed
Wheel alignment errors at right angles to the direction of travel. These wear indicators are located at 6 - 8
Incorrect wheel alignment at the front and re ar will not only increase wear-and-tear points depending on the make and are evenly spaced around the circumference of
on the tyres but will also has an adverse effect on vehicle safety. Contact your the tyre ⇒fig. 219. Markings on the walls of the tyres through the letters “TWI”,
specialist garage if you notice any unusual tyre wear.triangular symbols or other symbols identify the position of the wear indicators.
A remaining tread of just 1.6 mm, measured in the grooves of the tread next to the
wear indicators, means that your tyres have reached their legally permissible
WARNING minimum tread depth.
• If the inflation pressure is too low, the tyre must perform a greater flexing
work. At higher speeds the tyre will warm up as a result of this. This can
result in tread separation and even a tyre blowout.
• Immediately replace the damaged rims or tyres.
