WARNING Risk of accident when using
tyre sealant
The tyre sealant may be unable toseal the
tyre proper ly, especially in thefo llowing
cases:
R there are large cuts or punctures in the
tyre (larger than damage pr eviously men‐
tioned)
R the wheel rims ha vebeen damaged
R afte r journe yswith very low tyre pressure
or with flat tyres #
Do not continue driving. #
Consult a qualified specialist workshop. &
WARNING Risk of injury and poisoning
from tyre sealant
Ty re sealant is hazardous tohealth and cau‐
ses ir rita tion. Do not allow it tocome into
contact wi thyour skin, eyes or clo thing, and
do not swallow it. Do not inhale any vapours.
Ke ep the tyre sealant away from children. 300

WARNING Risk of accident from driving
wi th sealed tyres
A tyre temp orarily sealed with tyre sealant
impairs the handling characteristics and is
not suitable for higher speeds. #
Adapt your driving style according lyand
drive carefull y. #
Do not exceed the maximum speed
limit with a tyre that has been repaired
using tyre sealant. #
Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
a tyre sealed with tyre sealant 80 km/h. #
Affix th e upper section of the TIREFIT sticker
to the instrument clus ter in a location where
it will be easi lyseen bythe driver.
* NO
TEStaining from leaking tyre sealant Af
ter use, excess tyre sealant may leak out
from thefilling hose. #
Therefore, place thefilling hose in the
plastic bag that con tained the TIREFIT
kit. +

Service Centre. #
Stow th e tyre sealant bottle, the tyre inflation
compressor and thewa rning triangle. #
Pull away immediatel y. #
Stop driving af ter appro ximately ten minu tes
and check the tyre pressure using the tyre
inflation compressor.
The tyre pressure must now be at least
13 0 kPa (1.3 bar). &
WARNING Risk of accident due tothe
specified tyre pressure not being
attained
If th e specified tyre pressure is not reached,
th e tyre is too badly damaged. The tyre seal‐
ant cannot repair the tyre in this ins tance.

Note
s on noise or unusual handling charac‐
te rist ics
Make sure there are no vibrations, noises or
unusual handling characteristics when theve hi‐
cle is in motion. This may indicate that the
wheels or tyres are damaged. Hidden tyre dam‐
age could also be causing the unusual handling
ch aracteristics.
If yo u suspect that a tyre is defective, reduce
yo ur speed immediately and ha vethe tyres and
wheels checked at a qualified specialist work‐
shop. Note
s onregular lyinspecting wheels and
tyres &
WARNING Risk of injury duetodamaged
tyres
Damaged tyres can cause tyre pressure loss. #
Check the tyres regularly for signs of
dama geand replace any damaged tyres
immediatel y. &
WARNING Risk of aquaplaning due to
insuf ficient tyre tread
Insu fficient tyre tread will result in reduced
tyre grip.
The risk of aquaplaning is increased on wet
ro ads, especially when the speed of theve hi‐
cle is not adap tedto suit the conditions. #
Thus, you should regularly check the
tread de pth and the condition of the
tyre contact su rface across the entire
width of all tyres.
Minimum tread dep thfor:
R Summer tyres: 3 mm
R M+S tyres: 4 mm #
For saf etyre asons, replace the tyres
before the legally-prescribed limit for
th e minimum tread dep thisreached. Car
ryout thefo llowing checks on all wheels reg‐
ularly, at least once a month or as requ ired, for
ex ample, prior toa long journey or driving off-
ro ad:
R Check the tyre pressure (/ page316).
R Visually inspect wheels and tyres for dam‐
age.
R Check theva lve caps.
R Visual check of the tyre tread dep thand the
tyre contact su rface across the entire width.
The minimum tread dep thfor summer tyres
is 3 mm and for winter tyres 4 mm. Note
s on snow chains &
WARNING Risk of accident due toincor‐
re ct snow chain fitting
If yo u ha vefitted snow chains tothe front
wheels, the snow chains may drag against
th eve hicle body or chassis components.
This could cause damage totheve hicle or
th e tyres. Wheels and tyres

It is only permissible
tofit a di fferent wheel
size in theev ent of a flat tyre in order to
drive tothe specialist workshop.
R Do not make any modifications tothe brake
sy stem, the wheels or the tyres.
The use of shims or brake dust shields is not
permitted and may in validate theve hicle's
ge neral operating pe rmit.
R Vehicles with a tyre pressure monitoring
sy stem: allfitted wheels mu stbe equipped
with functioning sensors forth e tyre pres‐
sure monitoring sy stem.
R Attemp eratures below 7 °C use winter tyres
or all-season tyres mar ked M+S for all
wheels.
Wi nter tyres bearing thei snowflake
symbol in addition tothe M+S marking pro‐
vide the best possible grip in wintry road
conditions.
R For M+S tyres, only use tyres with the same
tread.
R Obser vethe maximum permissible speed for
th e M+S tyres fitted. If
th e tyre's maximum speed is below that of
th eve hicle, this must be indicated byan
appropriate label in the driver's field of
vision.
R Run in new tyres at moderate speeds forthe
fi rs t10 0 km.
R Replace the tyres af ter six years at the latest,
re ga rdless of wear.
R When replacing with tyres that do not
fe ature run-flat characteristics: vehicles
with MOExtended tyres are not equipped
with a TIREFIT kit at thefa ctor y.Equip the
ve hicle with a TIREFIT kit af terre placing with
tyres that do not feature run-flat characteris‐
tics, e.g. winter tyres.
% You can permanently limit the maximum
ve hicle speed for driving with winter tyres
(/ page 136).

WARNING Risk of accident caused by
non-app rove d tyre types
If yo u use tyre types that ha venot been
adap tedto changes made tothefa ctory
speed limit, this can ha vethefo llowing con‐
sequences:
R The tyres are not suitable for high speeds
and the cor responding driving dynamics.
R The tyres wear une venly and af fect the
ro adwor thiness of theve hicle.
R ABS, ESP ®
and cruise contro l operation
are restricted.
This can jeopardise road saf ety. #
