M+S tyres with
atread depth of less than
4m mm ust be replaced.
At temperatures below +7 †, use winter tyres or all-season tyres. Both types of tyre are
identified by the M+S marking.
Only winter tyres bearing the isnowflake
symbol in addition to the M+S marking pro-
vide the best possible grip in wintry road con- ditions.
Only these tyres will allow driving safety sys-
tems such as ABS and ESP ®
to function opti-
mally in winter. These tyres have been devel-
oped specifically for driving in snow.
Use M+S tyres of the same make and tread on all wheels to maintain safe handling charac-
teristics.
Always observe the maximum permissible
speed specified for the M+S tyres you have
fitted.
If you fit M+S tyres that have alower maxi-
mum permissible speed than that of the vehi-
cle, affix acorresponding warning label in the
driver's field of vision. This can be obtained at aq ualified specialist workshop.
Under these circumstances, you should also
restrict the maximum speed of the vehicle
using permanent SPEEDTRONIC so that it
does not exceed the maximum permissible
speed for the M+S tyres (Y page 217).
When you have fitted the M+S tyres:
X Check the tyre pressures (Y page 420).
X Restart the tyre pressure loss warning sys-
tem (Y page 422).
X Restart the tyre pressure monitor
(Y page 424).
