Steering wheel vibrations
In the following situations, it may occasionally be the case that due to the
steering wheel vibrations the syst4em indicates that a driver steering interven-
tion is required.

vDo not polish the paintwork in a dusty environment - risk of paint scratch-
es.

v Do not apply any paint care products to door seals or window guides.
v
Plastic parts

v Do not use paint care products.

v
Chromed and anodised parts

scratches.

v
Foils
The following instructions must be observed, otherwise there is a risk of foil
damage.

v To remove ice and snow, do not use a scraper or other means.

v Do not polish the foils

v Do not use a pressure washer to clean the foils

v
Rubber seals

v Do not treat the door seals and window guides with any products - the pro-
tective lacquer layer could be affected.

v
Windows and external mirror glass

v Do not clean the inside of the windows with sharp objects - there is a risk
of damage to the filaments or glass antenna.

v Do not use a cloth, which was used to polish the body - this could soil the
window and reduce visibility.

Wheels
Wheels and tyres
Advice on tyre/wheel usage
New tyres , during the first 500 km, new tyres do not offer optimum grip and
appropriate care should therefore be taken when driving.
Always fit tyres with a greater profile depth on the front wheels.
Wheels and bolts are matched to each other in terms of design. We recom-
mend that you use wheel rims and wheel bolts from

Spare wheel
A full spare wheel corresponds to the wheel mounted on the vehicle in terms
of the wheel dimensions, the tire dimension and the tire type.
A temporary spare wheel is provided with a warning label on the rim. Only use
this temporary spare wheel to reach the nearest specialist garage since it is
not intended for permanent use.
Instructions for using a temporary spare wheel

For the best possible handling, use all-season or “winter” tyres on all fourwheels with a minimum tread depth of 4 mm.
If using “winter” tyres, fit the summer tyres on again in good time as they pro- vide better handling properties, a shorter braking distance, less tyre noise, and
reduced tyre wear on roads which are free of snow and ice as well as at tem-
peratures above 7
