Notes on regularly inspecting wheels and tires G WARNING Damaged tires can cause tire inflation pressure loss. As a result, you could lose control of your vehicle. There is a risk of accident. Check the tires regularly for signs of damage and replace any damaged tires immediately.
R Do not drive with tires which have too little tread depth, as this significantly reduces the traction on wet roads (hydroplaning). R Replace the tires after six years at the latest, regardless of wear. This also applies to the spare wheel/emergency spare wheel.
G WARNING The wheel or tire size as well as the tire type of the spare wheel or emergency spare wheel and the wheel to be replaced may differ. Mounting an emergency spare wheel may severely impair the driving characteristics. There is a risk of an accident.
Tire pressure Tire pressure specifications G WARNING Tires with tire pressures that are too low or too high are associated with the following hazards: R they can burst, in particular if the vehicle is heavily laden or when driven at high speeds. R the tires can wear excessively and/or unevenly, which can severely impair tire traction.
Example: tire pressure table with tire dimensions Some tire pressure tables show only the rim diameters instead of the full tire size, e.g. R18 . The rim diameter is part of the tire size and can be found on the tire sidewall ( Y page 294).
