three years after initial vehicle
registration, including:
● functionality and pressure test
● heating functionality
● leakage check
● check of drive belts
● cleaning of condenser and evaporator drainage
● performance check

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.
Tyres
Self-sealing tyres This vehicle may have self-sealing
tyres. These tyres have a material
inside that can seal punctures up to
6 mm in the tread area.
The tyre may lose air pressure if the
sidewall is damaged or the tread
puncture is too large. If the Tyre
pressure monitoring system indicates the tyre pressure is low, inspect the
tyre for damage and inflate it to the
recommended pressure. If the tyre isunable to maintain the recommended
pressure, seek the assistance of a
workshop.Caution
Do not drive with a deflated self-
sealing tyre as this could damage
the tyre. Make sure the tyre is
inflated to the recommended
pressure or have it immediately
repaired or replaced.
When tyre replacement is needed,
replace with a self-sealing tyre,
because the vehicle does not come
with a spare tyre or tyre changing
equipment.
Directional tyres
If possible, fit directional tyres such
that they roll in the direction of travel.
The rolling direction is indicated by a
symbol (e.g. an arrow) on the
sidewall.
