Wheels and tyres

Tyre condition, wheel condition

Drive over edges slowly and at right

angles if possible. Driving over sharp

edges can cause tyre and wheel

damage. Do not trap tyres on the kerb

when parking.
Regularly check the wheels for

damage. Seek the assistance of a

workshop in the event of damage or

unusual wear.

Winter tyres

Winter tyres improve driving safety at

temperatures below 7 °C and should

therefore be fitted on all wheels.
Tyres of size 185/65 R15,

195/65 R15 and 195/60 R16 C are

permitted as winter tyres.
In accordance with country-specific

regulations, affix the speed sticker in

the driver's field of view.

Tyre designations

E.g. 215/60 R 16 95 H
215 : tyre width, mm

V : up to 240 km/h

W : up to 270 km/h
Choose a tyre appropriate for the

maximum speed of your vehicle.
The maximum speed is achievable at

kerb weight with driver (75 kg) plus

125 kg payload. Optional equipment

could reduce the maximum speed of

the vehicle.
Performance 3 186.

Directional tyres

Directional tyres must be mounted so

that they rotate in the correct

direction. The proper rotation

direction is indicated by a symbol

(e.g. an arrow) on the sidewall.

Tyre pressure

Check the pressure of cold tyres at

least every 14 days and before any

long journey. Do not forget the spare

wheel. This also applies to vehicles

with tyre pressure monitoring system.
Tyre pressure 3 191.
The tyre pressure information label

on the door frame (if fitted) indicates

the original equipment tyres and the

correspondent tyre pressures.

Always inflate tyres to the pressures

shown on the label.
The tyre pressure data refers to cold

tyres. It applies to summer and winter

tyres.
Incorrect tyre pressures will impair

safety, vehicle handling, comfort and

fuel economy and will increase tyre

wear.

Vehicle care

161

Tyre pressures differ depending on

various options. For the correct tyre

pressure value, follow the procedure

below:

1. Identify the engine identifier code.

Engine data 3 183.

2. Identify the respective tyre.

The tyre pressure tables show all

possible tyre combinations 3 191.
For the tyres approved for your

vehicle, refer to the EEC Certificate of

Conformity provided with your vehicle

or other national registration

documents.
The driver is responsible for correct

adjustment of tyre pressures.

9 Warning

If the pressure is too low, this can

result in considerable tyre warm-

up and internal damage, leading to

tread separation and even to tyre

blow-out at high speeds.

9 Warning

For specific tyres the

recommended tyre pressure as

shown in the tyre pressure table

may exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

Never exceed the maximum tyre

pressure as indicated on the tyre.

If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased on a vehicle with tyre

pressure monitoring system, switch

off ignition.

Temperature dependency

The tyre pressure depends on the

temperature of the tyre. During

driving, tyre temperature and

pressure increase. Tyre pressure

values provided on the tyre

information label and tyre pressure

chart are valid for cold tyres, which

means at 20 °C.
The pressure increases by nearly

10 kPa (0.1 bar) for a 10 °C

temperature increase. This must be

considered when warm tyres are

checked.

Tyre pressure monitoring

system

The tyre pressure monitoring system

uses radio and sensor technology to

check tyre pressure levels.

Caution

Tyre pressure monitoring system

warns only about low tyre pressure

condition and does not replace

regular tyre maintenance by the

driver.

The tyre pressure monitoring system

sensors monitor the air pressure in

the tyres and transmit tyre pressure

readings to a receiver located in the

vehicle.
All wheels must be equipped with

pressure sensors and the tyres must

have the prescribed pressure.
Tyre pressure chart 3 191.

162

Vehicle care

Note

In countries where the tyre pressure

monitoring system is legally

required, the use of wheels without

pressure sensors will invalidate the

vehicle operating permit.

Low tyre pressure condition

A detected low tyre pressure

condition is indicated by illumination

of control indicator w 3 88 together

with a warning chime. In vehicles with

Multifunction version of the Driver

Information Centre, a corresponding

message is also displayed.

If w illuminates, stop as soon as

possible and inflate the tyres as

recommended 3 191.
After inflating, driving may be

required to update the tyre pressure

values in the system. During this time

w may illuminate.
If w illuminates at lower temperatures

and extinguishes after some driving,

this could be an indicator for

approaching a low tyre pressure

condition. Check tyre pressure of all

four tyres.
If the tyre pressure must be reduced

or increased, switch off ignition.
Only mount wheels with pressure

sensors, otherwise the tyre pressure

value cannot be recognised by the

system and w flashes for several

seconds then illuminates

continuously. In vehicles with

Multifunction version of the Driver

Information Centre, a corresponding

message is also displayed.
A spare wheel or temporary spare

wheel is not equipped with pressure

sensors. The tyre pressure

monitoring system is not operational

for these wheels. For the further three

wheels, tyre pressure monitoring

system remains operational.
Spare wheel 3 168, Wheel changing

 166.

Control indicator w and (depending

on version) a corresponding message

appears at each ignition cycle until

the tyres are inflated to the correct

tyre pressure.
Driver Information Centre 3 91.

Relearn function

After changing wheels, the tyre

pressure monitoring system needs to

recalculate. The relearn process

takes up to 20 minutes of driving with

a minimum speed of 20 km/h.
If problems occur during the relearn

process, control indicator w flashes

for several seconds then illuminates

continuously and (depending on

version) a warning message is

displayed in the Driver Information

Centre.
Driver Information Centre 3 91.

Vehicle care

163

General information

The use of tyre chains or

commercially available liquid tyre

repair kits can impair the function of

the system. Factory-approved tyre

repair kits can be used.
Tyre repair kit 3 164.
Tyre chains 3 164.
Operating electronic devices or being

close to facilities using similar wave

frequencies could disrupt the tyre

pressure monitoring system.
Each time the tyres are replaced, tyre

pressure monitoring system sensors

must be dismounted and serviced by

a workshop.

Tread depth

Check tread depth at regular

intervals.
Tyres should be replaced for safety

reasons at a tread depth of 2-3 mm

(4 mm for winter tyres).
For safety reasons, it is

recommended that the tread depth of

the tyres on one axle should not vary

by more than 2 mm.

The legally permissible minimum

tread depth (1.6 mm) has been

reached when the tread has worn

down as far as one of the tread wear

indicators (TWI). Their position is

indicated by markings on the

sidewall.
If there is more wear at the front than

the rear, swap round front wheels and

rear wheels periodically. Ensure that

the direction of rotation of the wheels

is the same as before.
Tyres age, even if they are not used.

We recommend tyre replacement

every six years.

Changing tyre and wheel

size

If tyres of a different size than those

fitted at the factory are used, it may be

necessary to reprogramme the

speedometer as well as the nominal

tyre pressure and to make other

vehicle modifications.
After converting to a different tyre

size, have the label with tyre

pressures replaced.

9 Warning

The use of unsuitable tyres or

wheels may lead to accidents and

will invalidate the vehicle

operating permit.

Wheel covers

Wheel covers and tyres that are

factory approved for the respective

vehicle and comply with all of the

relevant wheel and tyre combination

requirements must be used.

164

Vehicle care

If the wheel covers and tyres used are

not factory approved, the tyres must

not have a rim protection ridge.
Wheel covers must not impair brake

cooling.

9 Warning

Use of unsuitable tyres or wheel

covers could lead to sudden

pressure loss and thereby

accidents.

Tyre chains

Tyre chains are only permitted on the

front wheels.

Always use fine mesh chains that add

no more than 10 mm to the tyre tread

and the inboard sides (including chain

lock).
Do not exceed 50 km/h when tyre

chains are fitted.

9 Warning

Damage may lead to tyre blowout.

Tyre repair kit

Minor damage to the tyre tread can be

repaired with the tyre repair kit.
Do not remove foreign bodies from

the tyres.
Tyre damage exceeding 4 mm or that

is at tyre's sidewall cannot be repaired

with the tyre repair kit.

9 Warning

Do not drive faster than 80 km/h.
Do not use for a lengthy period.
Steering and handling may be

affected.

If you have a flat tyre:

Apply the parking brake and engage

first or reverse gear.
The tyre repair kit may be located

under the front seat, in the glovebox,

or on the right side of the load

compartment behind a cover.

1. Take the tyre repair kit from the

vehicle.

2. Remove the compressor.
3. Set the compressor upright near

the tyre.

4. Unscrew valve cap from defective

tyre.

Vehicle care

165

5. Screw the flexible filler hose onto

the tyre valve.

6. The switch on the compressor

must be set to J.

7. Connect the compressor plug to

the power outlet or cigarette

lighter socket.
To avoid discharging the vehicle

battery, we recommend running

the engine.

8. Set the rocker switch on the

compressor to I. The tyre is filled

with sealant.

9. All of the sealant is pumped into

the tyre. Then the tyre is inflated.
Tyre pressure 3 191. When the

correct pressure is obtained,

switch off the compressor.

10. If a pressure of 1.5 bar is not

obtained within five minutes,

remove the tyre repair kit. Move

the vehicle one tyre rotation.

Reattach the tyre repair kit and

continue the filling procedure for

five minutes. If a pressure of

1.8 bar is still not obtained within

five minutes, the tyre is too badly

damaged. Seek the assistance of

a workshop.
Do not run the compressor longer

than 20 minutes.

11. Detach the tyre repair kit.
12. Remove any excess sealant

using a cloth.

13. Take the label indicating

maximum permitted speed from

the sealant bottle and affix in the

driver's field of view.

14. Continue driving immediately so

that sealant is evenly distributed

in the tyre. After driving approx.

10 km (but no more than

ten minutes), stop and check tyre

pressure. Screw compressor air

hose directly onto tyre valve and

compressor when doing this.
