The tools and the spare wheel are stored

In order to have both hands free to lift out
the spare wheel and the on board tools,
the floor mat can be hooked to the lower
part of the rear shelf.

The tools are located in a polystyrene
retainer, inside the spare wheel recess
secured with a rubber strap.

•

New tyres do not give maximum grip

straight away and should therefore be run
in at moderate speeds and a careful style
of driving for about the first 100 km. This
will help to make the tyres last longer.

•

The tread depth of new tyres can vary

due to construction and design features,
and depending on version and manufac-
tures.

•

Check tyres for damage from time to

time (cuts, splits, cracks and lumps) and
remove any foreign bodies embedded in
the treads.

•

To avoid damage to tyres and wheels

drive over curbs and similar obstacles
very slowly and as nearly at right angles
as possible.

Keep grease, oil and fuel off the tyres.

•

Replace missing dust caps as soon as

possible.

•

Mark wheels before taking them off so

that they rotate in the same direction
when put back on again.

•

When taken off, the tyres should be

stored in a cool, dry and preferably dark
place.

Tyres which are not on wheels should be
stored in a vertical position.

It is imperative that the designated direc-
tion of rotation for tyre treads (which can
be determined from the arrow on the side
of the tyre) be kept to. The best tyre per-
formance i.e. in aquaplaning, road adhe-
sion, noise and wear is then guaranteed.

Tyre life depends to a considerable extent
on the following factors:

The inflation pressures are to be found
inside the fuel lid.

The inflation pressure is very important
particularly at high speeds. Therefore, the
pressures should be checked at least once
a month and before every long journey.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIPS AND MAINTENANCE

IF AND WHEN

3.61

At this opportunity do not forget the spare
wheel:

•

The spare wheel with normal tyre

should always be inflated to the highest
pressure required on the vehicle.

•

Always check the pressures when the

tyres are cold. When warm, the pressure is
higher but do not reduce. If the load
changes a great deal the pressure must
be altered to suit.

On vehicles with wheel hub caps, valve
extensions are fitted. It is not necessary to
remove the valve extension piece in order
to test and correct the inflation pressure.

Fast cornering, hard acceleration and vio-
lent braking also increase tyre wear.

alla

The wheels on new vehicles are balanced.
However when the vehicle is running vari-
ous influences can cause the wheels to
become unbalanced and this causes
steering vibration.

As imbalance also increases steering,
suspension and tyre wear the wheels
should be balanced again. Furthermore a
wheel should always be rebalanced when
the tyre has been repaired or when a new
tyre has been fitted.

Incorrect wheel alignment not only causes
excessive, usually uneven tyre wear, but
can also impair the car ’s safe handling. If
unusual tyre wear is noticed, contact a
Technical Service Centre.

At the  bottom  of the  tread  of the  original
tyres there are 1.6 mm high “wear indica-
tors”  running  across the  tread  –  see  fig.
There are 6-8 of these indicators – accord-
ing  to  make  –  evenly spaced  around  the
tyre circumference. Marks on the walls of
the  tyre  (for  example  the  letters “TWI”  or
triangles)  show  the  locations of the  wear
indicators.

For safety reasons the tyres should be

renewed in pairs and not singly. The tyres
with the deepest tread should always be
on the front wheels.

B1H-085

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIPS AND MAINTENANCE

IF AND WHEN

3.63

•

You should only combine radial tyres of

the same construction, size (rolling cir-
cumference) and, as far as possible, the
same tread profile on all four wheels.

•

On four-wheel drive vehicles all tyres

must be of the same brand. Otherwise,
the

viscosity

would

unnecessarily

increase the proportion of the rear drive
since the axes would be turning at differ-
ent speeds and this could cause damage.

•

If the spare wheel differs from the ver-

sion  fitted  on  the  vehicle  (i.e.  winter  or
wide  tyres)  the  spare  tyre  may only be
used  briefly and  with  an  appropriately
careful style  of driving.  It must be
replaced  with  the  normal wheel as soon
as possible.

•

Never fit used tyres where their previ-

ous history is not known.

•

Knowing the tyre lettering and its mean-

ing makes the selection of the correct
tyres easier. Radial ply tyres have the fol-
lowing lettering on the sidewall:

e is also to be

seen on the tyre wall (possibly only on
inner side of wheel):

DOT ... 183 ... means that the tyre was
produced in the 18th calendar week of
2003.

If the  front tyres are  worn  more  than  the
rear  it is advisable  to  change  the  wheels
round  as shown.  All tyres will then  have
approximately the same length of service
life.

With certain types of tread wear it can be
an advantage to change the wheels diag-

When fitting winter tyres note the follow-
ing:

•

For better driving performance, fit win-

ter tyres on all four wheels.

•

Winter tyres are no longer fully effective

when the tread has worn down to a depth
of 4 mm.

The following speed limits are valid for
winter tyres:

Code letter Q max. 160 km/h

Code letter T max. 190 km/h

Code letter H max. 210 km/h

Please note regulations to this effect in
your country.

•

All-weather tyres can also be used

instead of winter tyres.

•

If you have a flat tyre the remarks on

using the spare wheel on page 3.59
should be noted.

•

Do not leave winter tyres fitted for an

unnecessary long period because when
the roads are free of snow and ice the
handling with summer tyres is better.

Snow chains may only be fitted on the
front wheels. This also applies to vehicles
with four-wheel drive*.

The use of snow chains on the tyres
195/65 R 15 or 175/80 R 14 is allowed.

When using snow chains wheel trim
plates and trim rings must be taken off. In
this case, the wheel bolts must then be
fitted with caps to protect them.

When driving over roads which are free of
snow you must remove the chains. On
such roads they are detrimental to vehicle
handling, damage the tyres and wear out
quickly.

In some countries the maximum permissi-
ble speed with snow chains is 50 km/h.

As the emergency spare is smaller than

a normal wheel, the free height of the axle
over  the  spare  is lowered  by about 30
mm.  Try not to  use  roads with  bumps or
pot holes to  avoid  damaging  the  under-
body.  Nor  should  you  use  an  automatic
care  wash  as the  underbody may touch
the floor.

•

The emergency wheels of the different

versions of the  vehicle  have  been  spe-
cially developed for their respective mod-
els.  So  they should  not be  exchanged  or
used in a different model. Nor should you
use  the  emergency wheel from  another
model of car.

•

Neither normal tyres nor winter tyres

should be fitted onto this wheel.

– Remove c

err with the wheel

spanner  and  the  wire  hook*.  Put the
wire  hook in  one  of the  recesses of the
wheel trim. Pass wheel spanner through
hook and  lever  trim  off –  see  illustra-
tion.

•

Push the wheel spanner as far as possi-

ble onto the wheel bolt as shown and turn
the spanner anti-clockwise. When doing
this, grip the spanner as far as possible
towards the lever end.

If the  bolts cannot be  loosened,  one  can
in an emergency, carefully push the span-
ner  down  with  a  foot on  the  end  of the
lever.  One  should  ensure  that one  has a
firm  stance  and  a  good  grip  on  the  vehi-
cle.

Loosen wheel bolts about one turn.

In vehicles fitted with a plastic cover*,

remove the cover to access the attach-
ment points of the vehicle. For this pro-
ceed as follows:

Pull on the cover and remove from its
housing in the direction of the arrow.

Once the cover is removed it will remain
suspended by a rubber band to avoid its
loss as shown in the illustration.
