Use high-quality brands Field experience has indicated significant differ‐ ences in fuel quality: volatility, composition, ad‐ ditives, etc., among gasolines offered for sale in the United States and Canada. Fuels containing up to and including 10 % etha‐ nol or other oxygenates with up to 2.8 % oxygen by weight, that is, 15 % MTBE or 3 % methanol plus an equivalent amount of co-solvent, will not void the applicable warranties with respect to defects in materials or workmanship.
Minimum fuel grade The use of poor-quality fuels may result in
driveability, starting and stalling problems es‐ pecially under certain environmental conditions such as high ambient temperature and high al‐ titude. Should you encounter driveability problems which you suspect could be related to the fuel you are using, we recommend that you respond by switching to a recognized high-quality brand such as gasoline that is advertised as Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. Failure to comply with these recommendations may result in unscheduled maintenance.◀

Pressure specifications The tire inflation pressure table, refer to page 264, contains all pressure specifications for the specified tire sizes at the ambient tem‐ perature. Pressure specifications apply to ap‐ proved tire sizes and recommended tire brands. This information can be obtained from your service center. To identify the correct tire inflation pressure, please note the following: ▷ Tire sizes of your vehicle. ▷ Maximum allowable driving speed. Tire inflation pressures up to 100 mph/ 160 km/h For speeds of up to 100 mph/160 km/h and for optimum driving comfort, note the pressure val‐ ues in the tire inflation pressure table, refer to page 264, and adjust as necessary.
These pressure values can also be found on the tire inflation pressure label on the driver's door pillar.
Maximum permissible speed Do not exceed 100 mph/160 km/h; other‐
wise, tire damage and accidents may result.◀
Wheels and tires Vehicle equipment All standard, country-specific and optional equipment that is offered in the model series is described in this chapter. Therefore, equipment is also described that is not available in a vehicle, e. g., because of the selected optional equip‐ ment or country variant. This also applies for safety-related functions and systems.
Tire inflation pressure Safety information The tire characteristics and tire inflation pres‐ sure influence the following: ▷ The service life of the tires. ▷ Road safety. ▷ Driving comfort. Checking the pressure Only check the tire inflation pressure when the tires are cold. This means after driving no more than 1.25 miles/2 km or when the vehicle has been parked for at least 2 hours. When the tires are warm, the tire inflation pressure is higher.
Check the tire inflation pressure regularly Regularly check the tire inflation pressure and correct it as needed: at least twice a month and before a long trip. If you fail to observe this precaution, you may be driving on tires with in‐ correct tire pressures, a condition that may not only compromise your vehicle's driving stability, but also lead to tire damage and the risk of an accident.◀ After correcting the tire inflation pressure: ▷ Reinitialize the Flat Tire Monitor. ▷ Reinitialize the Tire Pressure Monitor.

Mobility Wheels and tires
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. For example, 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 cli‐ mate. Traction 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. 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. 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. Sus‐ tained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under 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.
Temperature grade for this tire The temperature grade for this tire is es‐ tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinfla‐ tion, or excessive loading, either separately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and pos‐ sible tire failure. If necessary, have the vehicle towed.◀
RSC – Run-flat tires Run-flat tires, refer to page 271, are labeled with a circular symbol containing the letters RSC marked on the sidewall. M+S Winter and all-season tires with better cold weather performance than summer tires.
Tire tread Summer tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.12 in/3 mm. There is an increased danger of hydroplaning if the tread depth is less than 0.12 in/3 mm. Winter tires Do not drive with a tire tread depth of less than 0.16 in/4 mm. Below a tread depth of 0.16 in/4 mm, tires are less suitable for winter operation.
268
Online Edition for Part no. 01 40 2 608 633 - 11 09 490
Minimum tread depth
Wear indicators are distributed around the tire's circumference and have the legally required minimum height of 0.063 in/1.6 mm. They are marked on the side of the tire with TWI, Tread Wear Indicator.
Tire damage General information Inspect your tires often for damage, foreign ob‐ jects lodged in the tread, and tread wear. Notes 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. Indications of tire damage or other vehicle de‐ fects: ▷ Unusual vibrations during driving. ▷ Unusual handling such as a strong tendency
to pull to the left or right.
Damage can, e. g., be caused by driving over curbs, road damage, or similar things.
Wheels and tires Mobility
In case of tire damage If there are indications of tire damage, re‐
duce your speed immediately and have the wheels and tires checked right away; otherwise, there is the increased risk of an accident. Drive carefully to the next service center or tire shop. If necessary, have the vehicle towed. Otherwise, tire damage can be life-threatening for vehicle occupants and other traffic partici‐ pants.◀
Repair of tire damage For safety reasons, the manufacturer of your vehicle recommends that you do not have damaged tires repaired; they should be re‐ placed. Otherwise, damage can occur as a re‐ sult.◀
Changing wheels and tires Mounting
Information on mounting tires Have mounting and balancing performed
only by a service center or tire specialist. If this work is not carried out properly, there is the danger of subsequent damage and related safety hazards.◀
Wheel and tire combination Information on the correct wheel-tire combina‐ tion and rim versions for your vehicle can be ob‐ tained from your service center. Incorrect wheel and tire combinations impair the function of a variety of systems such as ABS or DSC. To maintain good handling and vehicle re‐ sponse, use only tires with a single tread con‐ figuration from a single manufacturer. Following tire damage, have the original wheel and tire combination remounted on the vehicle as soon as possible.

Mobility Wheels and tires
Approved wheels and tires The manufacturer of your vehicle recom‐ mends that you use only wheels and tires that have been approved for your particular vehicle model. For example, despite having the same official size ratings, variations can lead to body contact and with it, the risk of severe accidents. The manufacturer of your vehicle cannot evalu‐ ate non-approved wheels and tires to determine if they are suited for use, and therefore cannot ensure the operating safety of the vehicle if they are mounted.◀
Recommended tire brands
For each tire size, the manufacturer of your ve‐ hicle recommends certain tire brands. These can be identified by a star on the tire sidewall. With proper use, these tires meet the highest standards for safety and handling.
New tires Due to technical factors associated with their manufacture, tires do not achieve their full trac‐ tion potential until after an initial breaking-in pe‐ riod. Drive conservatively for the first 200 miles/ 300 km. Retreaded tires The manufacturer of your vehicle does not rec‐ ommend the use of retreaded tires.
Retreaded tires Possibly substantial variations in the de‐ sign and age of the tire casing structures can limit service life and have a negative impact on road safety.◀
Winter tires The manufacturer of your vehicle recommends winter tires for winter roads or at temperatures below +45 ℉/+7 ℃. Although so-called all-season M+S tires do pro‐ vide better winter traction than summer tires, they do not provide the same level of perform‐ ance as winter tires. Maximum speed of winter tires If the maximum speed of the vehicle is higher than the permissible speed for the winter tires, then display a corresponding sign in the field of vision. You can obtain this sign from the tire spe‐ cialist or from your service center.
Maximum speed for winter tires Do not exceed the maximum speed for the
winter tires; otherwise, tire damage and acci‐ dents can occur.◀
Run-flat tires If you are already using run-flat tires, for your own safety you should replace them only with the same kind. No spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire. Your service center will be glad to advise you. Rotating wheels between axles The manufacturer of your vehicle advises against swapping wheels between the front and rear axles. This can impair the handling characteristics. Storage Store wheels and tires in a cool, dry place with as little exposure to light as possible.
