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 surfaces 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,
hydroplaning, 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.
Sustained high temperature can cause the maj
terial of the tire to degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead tosudden tire failure. The grade C correspondsto a level of performance which all passenger
vehicle tires must meet under the Federal Moj
tor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
Band A represent higher levels of performance
on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum
required by law.
WARNING
The temperature grade for this tire is esj
tablished for a tire that is properly inflated and
not overloaded. Excessive speed, underinflaj
tion, or excessive loading, either separately or
in combination, can cause heat buildup and
possible tire failure.'

Driving over rough or damaged road surfaces,as well as debris, curbs and other obstaclescan cause serious damage to wheels, tires and
suspension parts. This is more likely to occur
with low-profile tires, which provide less cushj
ioning between the wheel and the road. Be
careful to avoid road hazards and reduce your
speed, especially if your vehicle is equipped
with low-profile tires.
Indications of tire damage or other vehicle malj functions:'yUnusual vibrations while driving.'yUnusual handling such as a strong tenjdency to pull to the left or right.
Damage can, e.g., be caused by driving over
curbs, road damage, or similar things.
Safety
information WARNING
Damaged tires can lose tire inflation
pressure, which can lead to loss of vehicle control. There is a risk of an accident. If tiredamage is suspected while driving, immedijately reduce speed and stop. Have wheels andtires checked. For this purpose, drive carefully
to the nearest dealerss service center or anj
other qualified service center or repair shop.
Have vehicle towed or transported as needed.'

they achieve their full traction potential after a
break-in time.
Drive conservatively for the first
200 miles/300 km.
Retreaded
tires
The manufacturer of your vehicle does not recj
ommend the use of retreaded tires.
WARNING
Retreaded tires can have different tire
casing structures. With advanced age the servj
ice life can be limited. There is a risk of an accij
dent. The manufacturer of your vehicle does not recommend the use of retreaded tires.'

Changing
run-flat
tires
For your own safety, only use run-flat tires. No spare tire is available in the case of a flat tire.
A dealerss service center will be glad to answer additional questions at any time.

Safety
measures'yPark the vehicle as far away as possible
from passing traffic and on solid ground.'ySwitch on the hazard warning system.'ySecure the vehicle against rolling away by setting the parking brake.'yTurn the steering wheel until the frontwheels are in the straight-ahead position
and engage the steering wheel lock.'yHave all vehicle occupants get out of the vehicle and ensure that they remain outjside the immediate area in a safe place,
such as behind a guardrail.'yIf necessary, set up a warning triangle at an
appropriate distance.
Mobility
System
Concept
With the Mobility System, minor tire damage can be sealed temporarily to enable continued
travel. To accomplish this, sealant is pumped
into the tires, which seals the damage from the inside.
The compressor can be used to check the tire inflation pressure.
General
information
'yFollow the instructions on using the Mobij lity System found on the compressor and
sealant container.'yUse of the Mobility System may be ineffecj
tive if the tire puncture measures approx.
1/8 inches/4 mm or more.'yContact a dealerss service center or anj other qualified service center or repair
shop if the tire cannot be made drivable.'yIf possible, do not remove foreign bodies that have penetrated the tire.'yPull the speed limit sticker off the sealant
container and apply it to the steering
wheel.'yThe use of a sealant can damage the TPM wheel electronics. In this case, have theelectronics checked at the next opportujnity and have them replaced, if needed.
Storage
The Mobility System is located under thecargo floor panel.
